In any case, on the topic of the thread this is one of the cases where Trump is clearly on poor footing. The Constitution is explicit on this issue and he was doubtless warned before taking office. He didn't have to volunteer for the job if he didn't want it*!

Don't you think the 'community organizer' label is a bit outdated?

Originally posted by Bill the Cat View PostWell, he tied with Trump last year, so...
Nope. That's what he was before he got into politics. That's what an impeachment would have had to go on.
No he isn't. Not ONE President has ever been charged with violating the Emoluments Clause. The stretch of "rent paid" at a hotel is just political nonsense.
Because it isn't an emolument. The President must be acting in his OFFICIAL CAPACITY, and not one of a private business transaction, for it to be an emolument.
Even Obumbles knew Trump had no illegal connection to Russia. That's why he orchestrated the whole ruse.

Originally posted by Mountain Man View PostObama clearly did a lot of very questionable stuff, but Republicans are not nearly as aggressive or underhanded as Democrats when it comes to pursuing their political opponents. Trump is the first Republican in decades to really fight back.

Originally posted by DivineOb View PostHe actually got slightly more votes than Trump. See the third chart .
Makes no sense. Trump extorted UKR before he got into politics?
There's a reason for that. Prior presidents have taken the necessary steps with their assets to avoid violating the clause :).
So the judges who have ruled in this case are corrupt? On the take from Soros? Drinking on the job?That's what

Originally posted by Bill the Cat View PostIt was declared a statistical tie, so...
No. And he didn't after. The House manufactured the extortion charge, and dropped it like a hot potato once their polling found out that wasn't a popular term.
Actually, no they didn't. Jefferson sold tobacco to England while in office. He never relinquished his business control. George Washington did not seek or obtain congressional consent for foreign gifts. President Trump officially transferred management interests of the Trump Organization to the Trust in January 2017. On February 25, 2019, the Trump Organization announced it had donated nearly $200,000 to the U.S. Treasury in order not to retain profits from foreign governments using its properties.
Politically motivated, as the dissents so aptly detail.

Originally posted by DivineOb View PostIt's ok. There's always next year ;).
The point being your response makes no sense, regardless of whether you think UKR was warranted or not.
I'm not going to get into discussing the presidencies from 200 years ago. Presidents in the modern era have taken appropriate steps. Trump didn't.
What page does the dissent start on? The CNN PDF viewer thing sucks.That's what

Originally posted by Sparko View PostOr it could be that Republicans didn't go all panicky when a democrat won the election and figured they would wait it out instead of spending 4 years trying to drum up phony charges to impeach a sitting president, rioting in the street, and have nervous breakdowns because Killary lost.

Originally posted by JimL View PostOr it could be that Obama unlike Trump, is a principled man, isn't a lifelong crook, that he gave up a lucrative career in law to be a community organizer and so the republicans couldn't come up with anything to impeach him over like they did to Clinton. I guess you forget about the whole republican freakout about Obama winning the election and birtherism, eh? The rest of your post is just hyperbolic nonsense.That's what
