Happy Monday everyone! Welcome to the Good News Roundup, You’re daily espresso shot of cheer to keep you going during this nightmare clown show of an Administration. And I am on vacation for the week from work. Not from the Good News though, so lets leap right into the fray.
Fifty percent of respondents supported the president's impeachment and removal, while 4 percent backed impeachment but not removal. Forty-one percent opposed impeachment.
The statistics are largely unchanged from Fox News's poll in late October that found 49 percent backing impeachment and removal, 4 percent supporting only impeachment, and 41 percent opposing both.
And remember, this is Fox news saying this. It definitely does not bode well for Trumps plans for reelection.
Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) told CNN’s Jake Tapper that President Donald Trump should not be impeached because Trump is dedicated to rooting out corruption, and his motives for holding up the military funding to Ukraine were centered around those concerns. In his response, however, Tapper schooled the congressman in the facts.
Tapper asked Paul, “So you’re saying that you think that President Trump was actually doing this because he was combating corruption?”
Paul replied, “Well, yes, there are all kinds of accusations that Burisma and Hunter Biden and the company were corrupt and the founder of the company was corrupt.”
Tapper then went in hard on the senator, listing the absurd amount of corrupt former aides and associates that the president seemingly had no problem surrounding himself with.
And once again, the GOP make fools of themselves trying to defend this jabbering imbecile. It would be sad if they weren’t all so terrible.
The top Senate Democrat on Sunday called for subpoenaing several senior Trump administration officials who have yet to testify in the House’s impeachment probe as witnesses for President Trump’s likely trial — part of an opening salvo in negotiations that could determine the parameters for the Senate proceedings next month.
In a letter to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.) outlined a number of procedural demands that Democrats say would make the Senate trial fair and able to be completed “within a reasonable period of time.”
I have no doubt McConnell is going to try and turn the Senate trial into a shit show, but Schumer is going to do his level best to rake both of them across the coals. Go get em Mr. Schumer (That’s my Senator right there).
President Trump tweeted his frustration about a newly released poll by Fox News, which he claimed was biased toward Democrats.
"The @foxnewPolls, always inaccurate, are heavily weighted toward Dems," Trump said Sunday. "So ridiculous - same thing happened in 2016. They got it all wrong. Get a new pollster!"
The president has previously criticized Fox for their polling, slamming network data showing nearly half of American voters support impeachment last month.
Ah yes, that infamous liberal network, FOX NEWS.
Donny, you can stop digging now, I think you’ve gone far down enough. You moron.
Five aides to a House Democrat who plans to become a Republican are resigning, saying his party switch “does not align with the values we brought to this job when we joined his office.”
The staffers wrote the letter on Sunday, a day after a Republican official said GOP House leaders had been informed that New Jersey Rep. Jeff Van Drew was planning the switch. Van Drew, a freshman, has said he will vote “no” this week when the House decides whether to impeach President Donald Trump, a decision that puts him at odds with nearly every other Democrat.
Ah yes, this turncoat. Good luck with siding with Trump, you’ll need it. How about you ask all the GOP who have been jailed, fired, or quit how working for him works. And good for those aides for quitting on that rat.
Well that does it for this week, as always check out the GNR Spotify list and have a great week.
