Where are all the threads asking for the Impeachment of the POTUS

[madokie]

and resignation of the AG today?
Monday and tuesday this week that was the subject du jour on these pages
by wednesday it was dying down, thursday not much left
now its friday and its pretty much gone
did I miss something along the way?

[geek tragedy]

1. They're drafting the articles of impeachment over

Loyalty Day.

That was a real scandal . . .

[warrprayer]

2. as the facts are coming out

people are coming around to realize that anything coming out of a republicans mouth is pure bullshit.

[madokie]

3. Pretty much what a few of us were saying back then

Whether we were actually saying those words or not we were implying that

[pinboy3niner]

5. But...but...Umbrellagate!1!!

[madokie]

12. Oh shit!

I forgot and shoulda' known better. damn it to hell anyway

[pinboy3niner]

20. So many GOP cheap shots, so little time

Cut yourself some slack. It's not humanly possible to keep up with ALL of them!

[madokie]

22. Peace Brother

[Whisp]

23. oh....

I thought the OP was about here on DU.

[pinboy3niner]

29. Good point about the OP...

But this subthread hangs on a comment about Republicans, so it looks like we're running on two tacks now. It's like the old Six Flags ad--More flags! More fun!

[GoCubsGo]

50. Me, too, sadly.

[warrprayer]

15. I tried to piss off

some wingnuts on my local topix board by posting satire of "Umbrellagate". Topix wouldn't post it!!!

[Cirque du So-What]

36. Topix?

I visited that wretched site - one time - just to see what it was about. Just for shits'n'giggles, I looked up my childhood hometown, which I deem a cesspool of gossip and innuendo. Sure enough, nothing has changed, and Topix is the perfect vehicle for anonymous twerps to post all manner of vicious shit about anyone they felt like. That website could vanish tomorrow and the world would be better off for it.

[Hekate]

101. I wish.

I've been saying that over and over since at least 2000, and more frequently since Obama was elected the first time. Why in hell anyone would EVER give the slightest credence to anything coming out of the GOP boggles my mind.

[Cha]

4. I missed those.. I knew I had

the right(wrong) people on Ignore.

[madokie]

7. The down side of using the ignore feature

you know it so you use it but by doing so you miss so much.
I cleared mine out a couple weeks ago just for that reason

[Cha]

13. I hear ya but, to me there is no

downside. I've seen this same crap ad nauseum for years. It litters up my screen.

It's a distraction from the real business of slaying(metaphorically) republicons.

But, I thank you all who put up with it.

[madokie]

16. Some of us are willing to take a bullet

some of are just too stupid to not get out of the way.
that would be me

[Cha]

17. I actually admire your

strong stomach!

[sheshe2]

78. We will~

fall on our swords (metaphorically)speaking, for you Cha!

[Cha]

107. Yeah, you guys are

A-Mazing! My only defense is I had my time in the field and paid my dues back in 2008-2010.

Now I'm just a ol' desk jockey.

She

[sheshe2]

108. You are doing just fine as a desk jockey~

You're an ace reporter now!

You are in no need of a defense, we'll just play offense for a while.

back at you, Cha.

[Cha]

126. :)

[MineralMan]

6. There will be a new scandal du jour coming up shortly,

I'm sure. It's inevitable. Such things come in with a bang and go out with a whimper.

Clockwork.

[madokie]

10. I'm sure there will

as some simply can't help themselves.
Hate is a powerful emotion. Makes one do some stupid shit sometimes

[MineralMan]

14. Sometimes it's not just hate. It's a mission.

Seems to be a lot of missionaries, sometimes.

[malaise]

8. ROFL

I want the name of the ReTHUG who made up the Benghazi emails

[madokie]

19. I read it earlier but forgot

surely someone will come along with that info shortly

[Gothmog]

30. Some Aide will take the fall

Dan Burton used a falsified transcript of one of the people in the Whitewater mess and then had one of his aides resign and take the fall. Some aide is being singled out as the fall guy

[malaise]

33. More than likely

but we know better

[winter is coming]

9. Red Bull can only keep you going for so long. n/t

[randome]

32. That's when you hit 5 Hour Energy.

[Whisp]

11. They are all playing cricket.

Until the RWteabaguettes or libercontraians or the precious free press (lol) manufacture another lie for them to salivate over.

[morningfog]

18. I never called for impeachment of Obama. But, Holder should still be canned.

[madokie]

21. But not for the reasons what were given

Personally I think he has a thankless job and anyone doing that job if they're doing it well are going to step on a lot of toes.

[Bluenorthwest]

92. there are many reasons to dump Holder, zero reasons to defend him in any way

Your statement that it is a 'thankless' job is absurd, it is highly compensated and hugely beneficial to those who leave that office and you know that. To claim that anyone doing it will step on toes so toe stepping should not matter is something one could say of Ashcroft as well, or any of them. Got to step on toes, laws, election results, that sort of thing. Part of the job.
Holder is the face of what is wrong with America, kissing Wall St ass, getting into pissing matches with the will of the people, disregarding law which is legitimate for the same damn reason his office is legitimate because the People say so.
He should not expect defense from people he has spent years attacking. I'll never forget some of the fetid language he used by choice when defending DOMA for so many years. He's a bigoted twit. And bigoted twits are a thing no longer needed in society.

[Nye Bevan]

24. Someone on DU called for Obama to be impeached?

Weird. I have nobody on ignore but I never saw that one.

[madokie]

27. LOL

You are funny though

[Nye Bevan]

56. OK, I found the thread you were referring to calling for Obama's impeachment.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/10022858591

You could have just given me the link instead of being all cryptic about it.

[randome]

25. Is this another pubic hair thread?

[hr]
[font color="blue"][center]Stop looking for heroes. BE one.[/center][/font]

[Rex]

26. Hiding, along with the people calling for impeachment.

They should be ashamed of themselves! They just cannot wait to start impeachment proceedings of ANOTHER Democratically elected POTUS.

How they survive here is a mystery to me.

[madokie]

28. I'm blown away by it too

I was just asked if it was true. I laughed

[Rex]

31. I saw that, YES it is true I can go find the threads if needed.

and several others too scared to outright say it - but hinted at it.

So YES folks, people here - DUers - have called for his impeachment.

Or hinted that he might need to be impeached, will be impeached.

It BOGGLES the mind madokie. Why would we take the best POTUS we've possibly ever had and remove him from office!?!?

WHY!?

[madokie]

34. The hate some feel for him is overwhelming for some

the only reason I can see for the hate is he's black
I might be wrong on this and if I am please someone correct me and I'll apologize
My answer though is because he broke the strangle hold that the old white mans club has held on our Presidency since day one.
I'm mostly white btw.

[Rex]

38. I agree with you, that is what I think the outrage is all about over umbrellagate.

I don't really think it is the fact that he is a marine, but that it is a white man holding an umbrella for a black man. I could be wrong too, but that IS how the GOP thinks and acts. They see everything through racist eyes. ESPECIALLY the old white mans club imo.

[madokie]

39. No bout a doubt it

sad but true

[zappaman]

40. I'm not convinced it's a race issue.

People on the right, hate him because he is a Democrat.
Some people here complain about him everyday because they need something to complain about.

Too bad Romney or McCain didn't win, eh?
The country would be in better shape!

[madokie]

41. I may be wrong

but when I give it critical thought thats all I can come up with

[Rex]

42. Check this out, it is in the freakin OP title!

http://www.democraticunderground.com/10022858591

[zappaman]

43. It likely plays a part with some.

But since the media treats politics as a game, you trash the team that you are playing.
Republicans hate him because he won and they didn't.
Kinda like hating the Cowboys if you are a Redskin fan.
Politics as entertainment and sport.

[graham4anything]

105. Frank Rich said it back in 2009.titled "Yes, it is..." Back when there was more of a real media

now all media is just creative speculation and they are like Kolchak coming up with a boogieman a week, which sounded great in the first movie or two, but then they put it on tv weekly, and it boggled the mind that one could have so many conspiracy theories

[Whisp]

44. +++

the 65 thousand dollar question.

Why.
He needs help, not sticky out feet tripping him at any little thing the stupid GOP puts out to the ass-stream media.

I can make some guesses as I'm sure you can, but don't think I should say it out loud.

[madokie]

45. thats why when I was asked that I just laughed

thinking you can't be serious.

[Rex]

49. I felt this way about Bill Clinton too!

WHY?

I could not believe I had friends cheering on his impeachment hearings! WTF!!!

So we let THE MOST incompetent POTUSes get away with treason, war mongering, violating the U.S. Constitution and treating it like toilet paper...YET, when we get a GREAT POTUS...nope, got to be impeached!!!

[madokie]

53. A friend and I spent the day of Bills impeachment

not believing what we were witness too. got some kind of shit faced passing the bottle back and forth. To this day I still have a hard time believing that made it so far.

[Rex]

55. I was getting drunk too, that is funny.

I figured what the hell, we don't have a real country anymore. Just assholes more interested in looking at the POTUSes private parts AND NOT RUNNING THE FUCKING COUNTRY!

You know what? I still have problems with it.

It still burns me up just thinking about it!

[madokie]

109. Yup me too

[lamp_shade]

35. They're hiding. The "leaders" that is. When they go into hiding...

their followers (60-80 of them) go too. Same old same old at DU. I laugh.

[madokie]

37. but its a nervous laugh :-)

Amazing what a week can do for sanity

[Number23]

110. It's more like the "leaders" and their 60-80 socks.

They're all back in the drawer, sleeping peacefully. Until the next Loyalty Day (LOYALTY FUCKING DAY!!!!!) calamity strikes.

[bluestate10]

122. There are 3-5 leaders and many braying sheep. Two of the leaders do nothing but

hammer democrats, any democrats, while saying nary a bad word about republicans. Of course they quote liberal icons of the way distant pass to hide their poisonous bent. On a normal day when I check into DU on occasion, I see a post from one of them before I get started reading, in some cases, I see a few. The absence of posts from that group of posers today isn't something that went un-noticed by me.

[cui bono]

46. I didn't see calls for impeachment of POTUS. Were there really any? n/t

[madokie]

48. LOL

surely you jest

[cui bono]

54. No, I don't. I don't read every thread but I didn't see any in what I did read.

So there are some? I mean I have my issues with PBO but I'm not even close to wanting impeachment.

Can you give me links?

[Nye Bevan]

57. I think you and I may be missing some kind of private joke.

I asked the same question and got a similar response upthread.

ON EDIT: here is the DU thread calling for Obama's impeachment: http://www.democraticunderground.com/10022858591

[cui bono]

59. Yeah, I don't think there were any. We'll see if links are provided.

This is such a childish thread. Its only possible purpose is to be divisive by attempting to ridicule those with whom they disagree. I thought you were supposed to have discussions about that being that this is a forum. What do I know.

[Nye Bevan]

60. I did find it.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/10022858591

Not sure why the OP did not simply give the link when asked.

[cui bono]

61. That's not a post wanting POTUS impeached, that's a post wanting the Cons to embarrass themselves.

Well, maybe on a technicality, but they're not saying that POTUS deserves to be impeached. They're saying that they'd like to see the Cons try it and even if they're successful there won't be a conviction in the senate.

If that's what the OP is referring to they are really off.

[davidpdx]

106. Good catch and you are right about that

If I had responded to that thread (which I didn't), I might have also said I'd like to see Republicans try impeachment. Why? I think it is possible those who vote for it would be putting their job in jeopardy by voting for it. On top of that, it would be interesting to see if the Republicans have the balls to do it. Are they all bark and no bite? I think so.

[Logical]

71. Thanks for this! This is a real one I admit! I know the holder ones were...

Numerous but I did not see multiple impeach Obama ones!

[Marr]

81. Probably because it's a damned small thread, and isn't really about impeachment anyway.

It's someone hoping the GOP does it because it would spell political disaster for them later.

Doesn't exactly back up the OP's suggestion that demands for impeachment were rampant around here, or even that they existed at all.

[ucrdem]

82. The OP includes "resignation of the AG" threads,

and there were plenty of those, so in letter and spirit the OP is correct.

[Marr]

83. They also use the word "and", not "or".

As in, "impeachment of the POTUS *and* resignation of the AG". So even if we want to be pedantic about it, the OP is still apparently full of shit.

[ucrdem]

85. The enjambment is effectively a full stop

so the two terms are not in a grammatical series. But if you want to be ungrammatical, and it makes you feel better, you go right ahead.

[Marr]

88. Oh brother, why not just admit the OP is full of shit and move on?

For Christ sake, stop digging.

[ucrdem]

89. It isn't, and it doesn't even mention sour grapes.

Now if you'll excuse me I'm going to enjoy a tall glass of Schadenfreude.

[Marr]

91. Knock yourself out.

I guess?

[Number23]

111. !!

[brush]

47. Yeah, all the alleged scandals are ginned up garbage . . .

. . . and just part of the repugs plan to bog down the administration with these phoney allegations.

There are at least 3 benefits for them in doing this:

1. The Administration can't get its policies implemented while having to defend against alleged "scandals"

2. The "scandals" take attention away from repugs obstructionism in blocking jobs bills and fixes to help the economy like infrastructure funding bills.

3. They figure the "scandals" can be kept going long enough for the mid-term elections and will hurt Hillary and the Dems in 2016 — especially Benghazi.

There are probably others I've missed but it seems the repugs have developed a strategy against re-elected Dem presidents. Just gin up a scandal and milk it for as long and publically as possible. It worked against Bill Clinton.

[madokie]

51. It did keep Bills hands tied

but he was still an effectual President anyway

[rbrnmw]

52. What no new scandals today?

Jeez I was hoping for ice cream-gate or something

[Segami]

58. Carpal tunnel.

[Logical]

62. Please link to "threads" where DUers said Obama should be impeached! Or....

Edit your lying title! I did not see any!

[ucrdem]

63. Then open your eyes and look.

And that's an awfully rude way to ask a question.

[Logical]

64. So you got nothing? Really? n-t

[ucrdem]

65. If you'd looked you'd have had no trouble finding one.

But you didn't look, did you? I think you owe the OP an apology.

[Logical]

66. I looked, saw one where they wanted the GOP to embarrass themselves. Maybe...

You can post a link since there were so many!

[ucrdem]

67. Oh? And what was the title? n/t

[Logical]

68. I get it! You have no other post! So just quit whining! n-t

[ucrdem]

70. You're the cheerful one aren't you?

Something getting you down?

[Logical]

73. No, just hate made up shit! n-t

[ucrdem]

75. Why don't you reread the OP? There's nothing made up about it.

[cui bono]

113. The OP made the claim, in a most childish manner, so they should provide the proof.

I asked very nicely above and again the OP showed their immaturity and replied with an "LOL" and some more snark and yet failed to provide any links.

[Bobbie Jo]

69. .

http://www.democraticunderground.com/10022843273#post55



eta: found it on a thread you Rec'ed, and that took all of 60 seconds.

There's more, you just have to know where to look. Your rec page was a good starting place, just sayin'.

[TheKentuckian]

84. What post are you talking about? There was one that was titled "Impeach, Impeach, impeach"

That did not favor impeachment as it would give power to the TeaPubliKlan.

I think you are distorting or at the best turning a molecule into a mountain to fuel your weak ass blast.

[Autumn]

96. I do believe no one read that post.

[Bobbie Jo]

99. Why not?

[Autumn]

103. Any person who reads that post will see that the poster is in no way

calling for Obamas impeachment, in fact they are very much against it.

[Bobbie Jo]

112. So no one will read it?

What's your point?

[Autumn]

118. Whoever used that single post as an example of a thread

calling for the impeachment of Obama, obviously didn't read it. That's my point.

[Bobbie Jo]

120. I guess that makes sense

to someone.

[Autumn]

121. Well it makes sense to those who read the post.

The poster is obviously against impeachment, as anyone with half a brain would be.

[Bobbie Jo]

123. Half a brain

No shit, ya think?

Brilliant.

[Autumn]

124. Yeah, No fucking shit.

[Bobbie Jo]

125. So, again

What is your fucking point?

[Autumn]

127. I just finished going through the thread, you posted the link to that post.

There's a fucking point. You have a nice evening. Bye

[Bobbie Jo]

128. .

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=2861029

Whatthefuckever. You should stick close to your clique, man. You understand each other, apparently.

[Autumn]

129. Nah, I just think

and I read.

[Bobbie Jo]

130. Out loud

to each other?

Do you take turns too?

[Marr]

86. You linked to a single post-- not a thread. And that post only

received a single response, which was negative.

You might want to take another swing there, sport. Strike one.

[Bluenorthwest]

93. The truth means nothing to those whose sport is the libel of the DU community

The OP uses intentionally inflammatory language with full knowledge it is not true. I really find that to be divisive.
Plus I thought Meta was closed?

[Marr]

97. What continues to amaze me is how these kinds of posts get an immediate string

of high-fives from people who, apparently, want to believe the bogus point being made so much that they don't bother to check if it's even remotely true.

[Bobbie Jo]

95. You forgot how to work DU again,

sport? Please.

[Marr]

102. It would show a bit of character to admit that your original response was inaccurate.

I'm not asking you to be so graceful as to apologize to the poster you insulted-- but a simple acknowledgement that your initial comment was inaccurate would be a step forward.

[Bobbie Jo]

114. It would show a bit of character

To address me directly instead of talking the passive aggressive approach and talking around me.

I'm right here. What is this, 5th grade?

Pffffft.

[DisgustipatedinCA]

116. You're wasting your time looking for character

That poster has always been confrontational and brusque to those who don't agree with every word she says from an authoritarian centrist POV.

[Bobbie Jo]

119. authoritarian centrist!!11!

Where would you all be without your useless labeling.

If you have a problem with me, I'm right here. No need to pass notes with your classmates.

[DisgustipatedinCA]

131. Beyond wishing you a good weekend, I've got nothing to talk about w/you

[Bobbie Jo]

134. Obviously.

I talk back, go figure.

[Marr]

132. I think you're right. I'll just let that person's little foot-stomping refusal to do

the decent thing there stand on it's own.

[Bobbie Jo]

133. What a load

Do you honestly type this nonsense with a straight face.

Passive aggressive tripe.

[Number23]

115. Since some are (almost hilarious) acting as though calls for Holder to resign and posts about

Obama's imminently impending impeachment never happened, here are a few here. And I'll just close my eyes and pretend that it is a coincidence of the HIGHEST order that the ones who "never saw nuthin!1 Seriesly!" usually tend to be the heaviest criticizers of both men here:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/10022828583

http://www.democraticunderground.com/10022652741

http://election.democraticunderground.com/10022847282

http://www.democraticunderground.com/10022847540

http://www.democraticunderground.com/10022849982

http://www.democraticunderground.com/1251306426

http://www.democraticunderground.com/1251304649

http://www.democraticunderground.com/1251305057

http://www.democraticunderground.com/1251305056

And as these are the results of a less than one minute search, I'm sure that I've left a ton of others out.

Now some of these really are benign. They are just posts saying that it's apparent that the GOP is going to try to impeach the president. And there are some that seem to be genuinely concerned about what would happen if that happened.

But anyone acting as if these types of posts have not littered this forum over the last week/month since all of this foolishness started is fooling no one. Perhaps the OP didn't actually click into some of the titles and just saw "impeachment" and put them in all in the same category. But these have been all over DU for a while. I don't know why anyone would bother trying to pretend otherwise.

[graham4anything]

136. Yeah.

that day in day out to be bombarded with Fox talking points is breaking the cardinal duck rule

If it walks like a duck
and waddles like a duck
and swims like a duck
and quacks like a duck
it is a duck

even if in so many words it doesn't say it is a duck

it is a duck

and it gets tiring.

80-20
20over and out

[ohiosmith]

74. This post was alerted on. The jury voted 5/1 to let it stand.

At Fri May 17, 2013, 02:11 PM an alert was sent on the following post:

Please link to "threads" where DUers said Obama should be impeached! Or....
http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=2859522

REASON FOR ALERT:

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate. (See <a href="http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=aboutus#communitystandards" target="_blank">Community Standards</a>.)

ALERTER'S COMMENTS:

Posters demands, "Edit your lying title! I did not see any!" when there's such a title not threads below this one, link: http://www.democraticunderground.com/10022858591
There's no need for such rudeness in an otherwise cheerful thread, or anywhere on DU.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Fri May 17, 2013, 02:25 PM, and the Jury voted 1-5 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: Seems a reasonable request. Leave the post!
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to HIDE IT and said: Is this a good place to post that I have yet to see "Logical" live up to their moniker?
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: The only thread cited is an ironic one noting impeachment would be disastrous for the Repubs. The Op keeps getting asked for citations to back up his lie, but he never gives one. Hence lie, hence leave alone.

[Logical]

79. Thanks! Funny! And juror number 3 seems to be annoyed about something! I look....

Forward to discussing it with them!

[Enrique]

72. in your imagination?

[tridim]

76. Orgasm guy sure is quiet these days.

[Marr]

77. I see you've taken notes from the GOP's Benghazi witch hunt.

If you can't smear 'em with something they actually did, just make something up.

[Politicub]

80. I think the seminar posters are off for the weekend

[graham4anything]

135. lol

[Initech]

87. Benghazi was an utter spectacular fail. And it's biting them in the ass.

[Loudestlib]

90. I am surprised by a lot of the things that make it on here.

This may be the democratic underground but all kinds of people post. I'm often reminded of my favorite quote.

"On the internet, people can pretend to be anything" Abraham Lincoln.

[Bluenorthwest]

94. Two questions. First, is this Meta?

Second, can you provide links to the pro impeachment threads you claim to have seen so many of? I saw no such thing on DU. Such threads would be a violation of the admin's rules and would of course be ppr'd.

[Hekate]

98. The fact-free-zone in their brains sprang a leak and facts leaked in gradually

Thus the poutrage du jour was diluted and diluted. No one wanted to acknowledge they were wrong -- much less apologize -- so they just went quiet. Vewy, vewy quiet.

Fear not! By next Monday it will be something else! Because, as you should know by now, Obama and his administration are continuously on the lookout for opportunities to throw Americans under the bus. And our ever-vigilant ones here will speedily apprise us all of the "facts", or whatever.

[treestar]

100. The "scandals" disappears in puffs of smoke

The Republicans doctored the emails (Benghazi). The Tea party groups were granted tax exempt status (IRS). The AP one never was a real scandal as it was all function under the law.

If this is all the Rs have, they need to STFU - no Monicagate for them this time.

[alcibiades_mystery]

104. They're deciding whether the sarcastic or non-sarcastic persona should join with the TeaBaggers

It all gets so very confusing.



Dipshits.

[jazzimov]

117. You seem to have forgotten the first rule of "smear tactics" -

"denial is a River in Egypt"

None of the anti-fact perpetrators will admit that what they perpetrated was anti-fact. By such admission they would have to admit that "they were wrong".

Unlike those of us who readily admit "we could be wrong.. but ".....


Some people tend to take it "personally" - but that's the point. It's not personal.
