Welcome to the war in the comment sections of news articles on the net. There are vague guidelines to conducting this online war and sometimes one can cross that line causing said comment to be removed. There is also the possibility of receiving numerous ‘thumbs down’ from people disagreeing with your position. As I always remind Trump supporters of their implied support of sexual assault, racism, and xenophobia so numerous ‘thumbs down’ always appear. Also someone will mark your comment as offensive to get it removed, a favorite tactic of the ‘Trumpies’. Every once in awhile one will encounter a seemingly strange particularly relentless opponent that responds immediately to every comment. I once had such an experience and finally typed total nonsense in response and discovered I was the target of a ‘bot’. It’s the little things in life!
Here is a post I wrote in the comment section of The Hill in response to Turley: Democrats offering passion over proof in Trump impeachment. Apparently someone didn’t like the content for one reason or another! Oh there was a person that responded to this comment your usual right wing idiot who took great offense at my response to him. Anyway my comment was:
Mr Turley thinks it was alright to impeach President Clinton. It was alright for Republicans to begin a Whitewater Investigation from day one of Clinton's election. Yeah in 1992 the Republicans hire the Pillsbury Law Firm out of California a very conservative law firm and one of the partners had been President Reagan's legal consul. Well their report on Whitewater to everyone's surprise exonerated the Clintons of any wrong doing. However the Republicans refused to accept those findings and went on to spend tens of millions of taxpayer dollars investigating Whitewater with a Special Consul who also after eight years reached the same conclusion. The Republicans then latched onto a definition of sex which didn't cover oral sex but none the less Clinton was convicted of perjury as a sitting President.
Today Mr Turley sees nothing wrong with a President asking a foreign nation to dig up dirt on a political rival and investigate a disproved right wing crackpot theory while holding up badly needed military aid. Insisting that the foreign leader publicly announces the investigations as a 'favor'.
So basically Mr Turley thinks lying about sex under oath is such a threat to national security it requires impeachment and removal. However delaying military aid to a nation, where soldiers are dying, for Trump's personal gain does not rise to the same level. What makes this more damning is that we gave security assurances to the Ukraine in return for their giving up nuclear weapons.
Well Mr Turley three other experts totally disagree with the ridiculous notions you put forth in this article. Yeah the Republicans in the Senate will not cast a single vote to convict Trump but the American voters will vote in November 2020 to convict and remove not only Trump but the entire Republican Party
At least I can understand why this post was removed in response to this story Maher asks Michael Moore if he has ‘second thoughts’ on guns now that ‘fascism’s coming to America’ It was in response to a right wing idiot threatening ‘Civil War’:
99% of Trump's supporters would have a heart attack running two city blocks in a t-shirt and shorts! Carrying a weapon and ammo would cut that to half a city block! Most liberals are fit and could easily dispose of the fat overweight rednecks who stuff themselves with KFC and McDonalds just like their fat idiot leader Trump!
This online war has been going on since the internet became a thing and can sometimes be quite viscous and hurtful. Trump though has taken it to new levels by encouraging hatred. One last thought, as Chairman of the Voter Turnout Committee in my small rural town I was asked what is our goal for the 2020 election. My answer was simple: we win by one or more votes because losing is not an option!
