Originally posted by Cow Poke View PostIf you're going to try to be pedantic about our country's political system, you might want to be more clear about your claim that Trump is bulling "the US Congress" (the bicameral legislature of the federal government of the United States), which is made up of the House and the Senate. If Trump is "bullying" anybody "in Congress", it would be the House.
And, if Trump were, indeed, impeached on an incredibly partisan vote in the House*, he would probably have less than a snowball's chance of surviving in the Hot Place of being removed from office in the Senate.
*likely zero Republicans voting yes and probably some Democrats voting no

Originally posted by dirtfloor View PostYes, precisely because Republicans in the House submit themselves to bullying without complaint or resistance. They know well that Trump will beat them up if they murmur the slightest criticism. In other words, Republicans are so weak in spirit that an authoritarian like Trump will easily overpower their oath of office.

Let's review....
"Congress" is made up of two assemblies, chambers or houses (bicameral), which are "the House" and "the Senate".
Democrats control the House, and are attempting to ram this impeachment through on an incredibly partisan basis, contrary to their Speaker's claims that it MUST be bipartisan.
Republicans control the Senate, and they are not yet in play in this impeachment sham.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

Originally posted by Cow Poke View PostAt this point, even many Democrats are looking to the exit on the impeachment train. This is an unforced error on their part.
Again, at this point, all they need do is step out of the way and let the Democrats self-destruct.
OK, perhaps you're not aware that you were maligning Republicans in the House, and Lindsey Graham is actually in the Senate.

AND
Former Trump White House counsel Donald McGahn must comply with a House subpoena, a federal court ruled Monday, finding that top presidential advisers cannot ignore congressional demands for information and raising the possibility that McGahn could be forced to testify as part of the impeachment inquiry.
