    Please... calling it a failure because it's under stress is total hyperbole.  It's the longest running Constitution.  That's hardly a failure.  
    the longest running anything eventually fails. it is not hyperbole. it is a fact.
    It hasn't failed.
    it is in the process of failing now!! open your eyes. the checks and balances are not fucking checking or balancing.
    Failed and failing are different tenses.  It hasn't failed.  If Trump isn't removed from office, it still hasn't failed because the process followed the Constitution.  I would argue the Republicans have failed in their duties for sure.  And a pox on them for it.  Until elections are cancelled or the military overtakes the civilian the government, or something like that, it hasn't failed.  The Constitution didn't fail when Lincoln suspended the writ of Habeas Corpus and I would argue that was far, far more dangerous to the Republic than the good Senator from Nebraska voting no on the impeachment articles.  I'm fully awake, but my eyes have a long historical lens.  
    when did secession and outright open rebellion against the united states and what the president has done- breaching of the emoluments clause/soliciting help from a foreign goverment to win and election, and extorting an ally all become equated? that is apples to oranges. the southern states bolted on their fear of what lincoln would do to infringe on their rights. in this case the president committed crimes. the people agree, and the republicans in government are doing nothing about it. you are comparing two entirely different historical scenarios.

    we are nowhere near a civil war here, but if trump walks from this, the country will take a generation to recover.
    My point is that the Constitution survived much more stress than this moment in history.  I provided examples of those moments.  So by your own point, I agree.  Secession, Nullification, Habeas, etc, were far more dangerous moments in our country's history.  Trump not being convicted by the Senate is despicable, but not fatal.  Trump being convicted but refusing to leave, and the no action being taken would be fatal.  That's why I think this whole argument is hyperbolic.  
    it is pretty pointless to argue. i am gonna just sit back and watch it burn.

    we all know how this is going to turn out. impeached in the house. not convicted in the senate. trump will use that to claim innocence. he will go to war on the campaign trail vs the democrats, lose the popular vote worse than he did last time, and be elected by the fucking god damned electoral college again. he will then get 2 more supreme court picks.

    sure, he is hated the world over, but the governments of other countries have pretty much rendered him powerless on the world stage. i think ridicule has been a better weapon against him than anything else.

    i think it is an effective add, but i question the timing. why say this in the middle of the dem primary? wouldn't this be better used in the campaign directly vs trump once there is a nominee?

    biden is forgetting the absolutely short attention span and short memory of the average american voter. a lot can happen in the next 11 months before the general election that will make people forget all about this ad.

    love it....I would hammer tRump with as much humiliating stuff as possible.  The toilet paper on the shoe, the inability to use an unbrella, his hair nest blowing in the wind, pictures of him looking fat, etc.

    Look at the fundraising, it's about the money. He was getting crushed but maybe he's doing better now since he's decided to take big money.

    He can certainly run the ad again during the generals, but I for one am happy to see him use this now. I have questioned whether Joe still had any fight in him. I've loved the ads Bloomberg and Steyer have been running, directly calling out Trump and calling him a fraud and a failure. I'm happy to see Biden join the fray. I think every Dem should be running these kinds of ads. Show us that you have what it takes to go against Trump head-on.

    it is in the process of failing now!! open your eyes. the checks and balances are not fucking checking or balancing.
    Failed and failing are different tenses.  It hasn't failed.  If Trump isn't removed from office, it still hasn't failed because the process followed the Constitution.  I would argue the Republicans have failed in their duties for sure.  And a pox on them for it.  Until elections are cancelled or the military overtakes the civilian the government, or something like that, it hasn't failed.  The Constitution didn't fail when Lincoln suspended the writ of Habeas Corpus and I would argue that was far, far more dangerous to the Republic than the good Senator from Nebraska voting no on the impeachment articles.  I'm fully awake, but my eyes have a long historical lens.  
    when did secession and outright open rebellion against the united states and what the president has done- breaching of the emoluments clause/soliciting help from a foreign goverment to win and election, and extorting an ally all become equated? that is apples to oranges. the southern states bolted on their fear of what lincoln would do to infringe on their rights. in this case the president committed crimes. the people agree, and the republicans in government are doing nothing about it. you are comparing two entirely different historical scenarios.

    we are nowhere near a civil war here, but if trump walks from this, the country will take a generation to recover.
    My point is that the Constitution survived much more stress than this moment in history.  I provided examples of those moments.  So by your own point, I agree.  Secession, Nullification, Habeas, etc, were far more dangerous moments in our country's history.  Trump not being convicted by the Senate is despicable, but not fatal.  Trump being convicted but refusing to leave, and the no action being taken would be fatal.  That's why I think this whole argument is hyperbolic.  
    it is pretty pointless to argue. i am gonna just sit back and watch it burn.

    we all know how this is going to turn out. impeached in the house. not convicted in the senate. trump will use that to claim innocence. he will go to war on the campaign trail vs the democrats, lose the popular vote worse than he did last time, and be elected by the fucking god damned electoral college again. he will then get 2 more supreme court picks.
      someone will try assassination....
    no way...if they haven't yet they never will
    Was talking a bit about this with a friend recently.  We decided the Secret Service is the top organization in our country.  There were no close attempts on the first black president or the racist one that followed him.  Amazing job.  Glad to, that can only make everything worse.

    Please... calling it a failure because it's under stress is total hyperbole.  It's the longest running Constitution.  That's hardly a failure.  
    the longest running anything eventually fails. it is not hyperbole. it is a fact.
    It hasn't failed.
    it is in the process of failing now!! open your eyes. the checks and balances are not fucking checking or balancing.
    Failed and failing are different tenses.  It hasn't failed.  If Trump isn't removed from office, it still hasn't failed because the process followed the Constitution.  I would argue the Republicans have failed in their duties for sure.  And a pox on them for it.  Until elections are cancelled or the military overtakes the civilian the government, or something like that, it hasn't failed.  The Constitution didn't fail when Lincoln suspended the writ of Habeas Corpus and I would argue that was far, far more dangerous to the Republic than the good Senator from Nebraska voting no on the impeachment articles.  I'm fully awake, but my eyes have a long historical lens.  
    when did secession and outright open rebellion against the united states and what the president has done- breaching of the emoluments clause/soliciting help from a foreign goverment to win and election, and extorting an ally all become equated? that is apples to oranges. the southern states bolted on their fear of what lincoln would do to infringe on their rights. in this case the president committed crimes. the people agree, and the republicans in government are doing nothing about it. you are comparing two entirely different historical scenarios.

    we are nowhere near a civil war here, but if trump walks from this, the country will take a generation to recover.

    Shockingly, Trump hasn't politicized them yet.

    Good to see Joe fighting back hard. That ad takes on things soul-eater ran on last time.

    love it....I would hammer tRump with as much humiliating stuff as possible.  The toilet paper on the shoe, the inability to use an unbrella, his hair nest blowing in the wind, pictures of him looking fat, etc.
    Don't forgot Melania pushing his hand away.

    that was photoshopped, was it not?

    posting tweets of him complaining about obama's golf, then followed by obama's actual golf numbers next to trump's would also be a good visual. 

    or any of his "there's a tweet for anything" hypocrisies.
