Pelosi's Words from 2019 Are Now Being Used Against Democrats in Biden Impeachment Push

a reply to: Klassified

Interesting but I'm certain that someway, somehow we'll be told that these circumstances are (D)ifferent.

To be more accurate, it is Democrat controlled cities in GOP controlled states. Georgia is a perfect example. Atlanta is an absolute mess but in no way defines the state.

I just want to remind all the mouth breathers on the left, "NOBODY IS ABOVE THE LAW, NOT EVEN THE PRESIDENT".

That’s true, but I just want to remind all the mouth breathers on the right that an impeachment hearing isn’t a judicial proceeding. An impeachment is a process prescribed by the Constitution, not by federal law, so your statement seems to be a non-sequitur.

Just let them enjoy a thread.

They already know this is illegal and the DoJ found Pelosi's actions illegal and she had to pursue a vote. They already know this, it's already been discussed, right here on ATS. Just don't engage and let them enjoy it.

Just in case anyone has forgotten, this X quote by Byron York reminds us...

“On October 15, 2019, three weeks after unilaterally declaring an impeachment inquiry, Speaker Pelosi, backed by Adam Schiff, insisted there was no requirement to hold an authorizing vote and she would not hold an authorizing vote.”

A CNN article from 10-15-2019 reported Nancy saying...

“There’s no requirement that we have a vote so at this time we will not be having a vote and I’m very pleased with the thoughtfulness of our caucus with the path that we are on,” Pelosi said in news conference Tuesday evening, following a meeting with her caucus.

Now in 2023, McCarthy returns the favor...

Now, the Democrats are getting their just deserts. As Pelosi so flippantly dismissed McCarthy’s formal request for an impeachment inquiry vote back then, McCarthy is now doing the same to the former speaker and her Democratic counterparts. President Joe Biden’s fate is now at the mercy of a Republican majority.

Source
Some around these parts have insisted their needs to be a house vote for an impeachment inquiry. If you hold to that, you must admit Nancy and Adam were wrong, or you must admit it's only okay if the democrats do it.

Not that Joe is in any real danger from this impotent 118th congress, but what's good for the goose...

The BAMN people dont care
Their hypocrisy is bare for all to see

Nopey dope - since, you know, the Constitution is actually the Fundamental Law of the Land, and the basis of all federal statutory authority.

The main problem with this is that it is done in areas controlled by the Democrats. If Republicans were to try the same thing, they would be called out on it and prosecuted for it.

You only have to look at what Georgia is doing to Trump to see that I'm right.

I am a LEFTIST ON ATS. I see things that I dont agree with and/or know is untruthful daily. Just on this ONE site among many I visit.
EDIT (why is it always assumed you only visit CNN and MSNBC when you challenge something that goes against a right-wing talking point?)EDIT

So riddle me this, why are you seeing them only in Democratic controlled cities and states?

Because I see the same things in the GOP controlled state I live in.


And your list doesn't resemble the world, it resembles your personal world view and bias.

I assume you only watch CNN/MSNBC and only read the NY Times because you made an equivalent assumption about me.
So you accuse me and I accuse you of the same thing.
Something liberals aren't used to,
they are used to conservatives crawling in a hole and crying - sorry no more bud.
We are mad as he11
and not going to take the totalitarianism that is ruining our nation anymore.
We are going to use YOUR tactics and fight a fair fight on equal terms -
and that means using things Democrats said were legal and ok for them to do but not ok for Republicans to do.

What specifically do you want me to prove in the way of my list in my original writing?

It is up to you to prove me wrong, it is only up to me to prove I am right. Can't prove me wrong, then sorry, I am right.

P.S. I only used sources you would approve of to prove I am right,
I used 95% left leaning, Democratic fawning publications,
with the exception of Reuters who I hope you respect as neutral.

San Francisco’s downtown has experienced a rise in its unhoused population. Thirty percent of the nation’s homeless population live in California, and most attribute their situations to the high cost of housing in the state, according to the results of a University of California, San Francisco survey released in June. The median sale price of a home in San Francisco is currently $1.32 million, making it 214% more expensive than the national average, according to data from Redfin. As San Francisco’s downtown area has emptied over the last three years, property crimes and retail thefts have risen, according to San Francisco Police Department data.

The left consistently pulls things out of thin air to use as weapons for the moment while not understanding they can then be used right back on them. Take the nuclear option that Reed created and then the Democrats complained when the Republicans used it right back on them years later.

Every stupidass point the Democrats have used on Trump for many years is now all fair game to come right back on them.

So you admit Pelosi and Schiff were wrong? Good.

You should make a meme with those same words but with that picture of Trump and the Saudis with hands on that globe!
Actually could you do that and send it to me via PM. I don't know how to make memes.
Well maybe not the same wording but get creative!

Since you have made the claim sure you won't mind
providing a source for this, thanks in advance.

Especially the part "the DOJ found Pelosi's actions illegal"

Apparently Time Magazine assigned Nancy Pelosi to the likes of fringe ATS,
on par with antiflourideation, and UFO's. LOL!

Conventional wisdom in Washington tends to treat impeachment as a fringe crusade, on a par with campaigns by antifluoridation activists or UFO enthusiasts, and views Pelosi as right to resist this momentum.

Because we're better than they are.

At the same time, if we don't play down and dirty, we may not win this war.

Seriously dig yourself out of what ever media hole you are in and expose yourself to more sources. Most of your points are half-truths spread so thin by partisanship they dont even resemble the world around us.

Seems reasonably accurate to me. Maybe you should expose yourself to more sources?

I do expose myself to other outlooks and sources, that's why I am still trawling around ATS's Live feed which is more or less a GOP spam feed.

ATS was not like this in the past but thats a story for a different time.

If only you would have made more threads instead of bitching in ones you dont' agree with.


..ATS could have been a better place for you.



Typical leftist, bitching about a system they had no hand in creating but will go out of their way to destroy. (While also not building anything else.)
