DDF was huffing and puffing about having a formal vote. A formal vote was not required in the first place. This simply takes away a red herring talking point DDF was using.
Pretty sure we've all known he was going to get impeached in the house but not convicted in the senate at some point in his presidency.
Idk why anyone's surprised.
All that really matters from an electoral standpoint is whether or not his impeachment rallies his base and helps him in 2020 or rallies the Democrat base and helps them in 2020. One of those two things is going to be the only real consequence from this shit.
Leftoids and DDF can screech about this shit all they want, but at the end of the day the only real impact this is going to have will be on the 2020 election.
House impeachment is a sure thing. Removal will depend on how well the house investigates. At this moment, it doesn't look likely. But more information will come out soon.
They voted to begin the formal impeachment process and start holding open hearings. Now Gaetz and his crew of spergs can't bitch about super sekrit hearings anymore.
They voted to begin the formal impeachment process
Unnecessary. They've been holding open hearing investigating Trump since inauguration. Voting on articles of impeachment is the actual next step and they can do that whenever. They don't need to "formalize" anything
Maybe you missed my comment you replied to that explained this for you.
😁🤭
Here it is again, for easy reference.
DDF was huffing and puffing about having a formal vote. A formal vote was not required in the first place. This simply takes away a red herring talking point DDF was using.
The entire process is political. Impeachment is a political process. DDF is relying on arguing about the process of impeachment because the facts are against DDF. This takes the process argument away from DDF without needing to compromise on anything.
The facts are that there was no quid pro quo in the phone call
the ukraine president said there was no quid pro quo
ukraine has already received the quid without any quo
so.... the facts of the case prove that the democrats are making shit up, again, after the Mueller report humiliated them. Wonder what country will be next this one fails. China? North Korea? Bulgaria? Romania?
The facts are that there was no quid pro quo in the phone call
That's patently false.
Did you read Vindman's statement? Maybe this part went way over your head.
I realized that if Ukraine pursued an investigation into the Bidens and [natural gas company] Burisma, it would likely be interpreted as a partisan play, which would undoubtedly result in Ukraine losing the bipartisan support it has thus far maintained,
the ukraine president said there was no quid pro quo
The ukraine president is in a tough spot because he's trying to maintain bipartisan support. If you can't realize this, you're a brainlet.
ukraine has already received the quid without any quo
Have you looked at the order of operations here?
(JULY) They withheld aid to Ukraine on the condition that Ukraine's President publicly announces an investigation into Joe Biden
Ukraine's President does not publicly announce an investigation
The story breaks about Trump withholding congressionally approved aid to Ukraine. (AUG 29)
The aid is released. (AUG 31)
so.... the facts of the case prove that the democrats are making shit up,
You're just regurgitating DDF talking points and prove that you've got no critical thinking skills. Congratulations, you're retarded.
So you recogmize that it isn't a case of quid pro quo. Lol @ denying reality because it doesn't match your world view. Whatever gets you through the day politicel.
Something that is given in return for something else or accepted as a reciprocal part of an exchange.
Something that is given = Aid Money from US Gov
For something else = Publicly announcing investigation of Bidens
Reason why the aid money was finally released:
Late August: Lawmakers raise concerns about Ukraine aid being withheld, citing its importance to defend the former Soviet republic from Russia.
Also around this time, Sondland tells Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) that Trump was withholding the Ukraine military aid to “get to the bottom of what happened in 2016 — if President Trump has that confidence, then he’ll release the military spending,” according to Johnson’s later recollection.
Aug. 31: Johnson tries to get Trump to release the military aid. He later says Trump explained that part of the reason for the delay was his concern about Ukraine’s role in 2016 election interference. “I didn’t succeed,” Johnson explains later. “But the president was very consistent on why he was considering it. Again, it was corruption, overall, generalized — but yeah, no doubt about it, what happened in 2016 — what happened in 2016, as relates? What was the truth about that?”
The facts are that there was no quid pro quo in the phone call
I'm honestly baffled as to what world you are living in dude.
Like, his own people are saying this was the case, his own fucking people. His own people have testified that he directed them to say "no quid pro quo" in text msgs to cover their tracks.
I'm honestly just so confused as to how anyone, even the DDF can deny what has happened here. He blatantly tried to use the US government to smear a domestic political rival. The people involved in this are testifying that this is what happened.
There is no spinning out of this, he broke the law.

There is no spinning out of this, he broke the law. The most obvious proof of what Trump was doing is that they wanted the president of Ukraine to to announce an investigation into Biden, publicly.
The "publicly" was a stipulation. Will the senate convict? Probably not, but it is irrefutable that Trump has broken the law here. Even the GOP knows it, which is why they're in panic mode.
Can you imagine the level of partisan delusion required to buy media/dnc narratives at this point. Not saying drumpf doesn’t fuck shit up, but these ‘people’ have to say the transcript is “fake” or that the real one has to be released. And go off of what a wapo or buzzfeed reporter says anonymous sources said. And this after pushing a conspiracy theory for two years. I’m glad I’m out of paying attention to this nonsense everyday lol

Imagine thinking someone is mad when they click through and see a really pathetic hobby on... drumroll... a sub that's all about clicking through to see pathetic redditors fight.
No, he should obsessively follow my posts waiting for someone else to call me mad so he can join in, that'll totally prove he isnt permanently and furiously mad about me.
Bruh, this was the first drama link I clicked on all day and just like clockwork I caught you mid-chimpout, might as well make the monkey dance while I'm at it 😂
not everyone can seethe hard enough to dedicate a whole subreddit to it and channel that seethe into the kind of time, energy, and autism required to actually post on it regularly.
you have us beat. enjoy any sense of pride you may get from it, because not only is your seething on another level altogether, online seething is the only thing you're ever accomplished
"ur mad for posting two similar comments" says guy whose DDF autism spans the entire length of the thread and spends day and night making unfunny political seetheposts on a shitposting sub
If 200 and change democrats can pass a bill to "formalize impeachment proceedings" then those same 200 and change democrats can vote for the real thing and to think that they somehow can't or won't is some pretty advanced cope.
Bwahahahahahahahaha this is quite an epic level of DDF cope. Not claiming that the impeachment was corrupt or unjustified, but denying he was impeached
Article 1, Section 2, Clause 5 of the Constitution
The House of Representatives shall choose their Speaker and other Officers; and shall have the sole Power of Impeachment.
So yes he was impeached, ie charged with a crime by the House. The Senate handles his removal from office, not impeachment. Impeachment is done and over with and of course you're smoothbrained enough not to understand the difference.
thats what happens when you refuse to go through the actual motions and just make declarations
theyre refusing to continue because they know they cant do anything, same way they dragged out the russia shit for years lmao
hes not impeached until the senate has a trial and they wont
So yes he was impeached, ie charged with a crime by the House.
lol not until they hand the shit over to the senate though, at which point its out of their hands and lost
so pelosis stalling
the house only has the power to take it to trial and theyre refusing to let it proceed, so seems like they dont really have that much power after all huh
lmao imagine wasting 4 years sperging about the guy who won to no effect instead of making a plan to beat him, smh dems
Do you know what being impeached means or not? What you're describing is being removed from office, not impeached.
lol not until they hand the shit over to the senate though, at which point its out of their hands and lost
Point to me where in the Constitution it says they need to "hand the shit over to the senate" before the president is impeached. Not removed from office, but impeached
So I win this argument and you're dumber than a box of rocks. Trump was impeached and you said he couldn't be and now you're claiming he wasn't.
Now show me in the Constitution where it says that it has to be sent over to the Senate in order for him to be impeached. Not removed from office, impeached.
Come on, point it out to me the text in the Constitution that supports your claim. Not something you pulled out your ads in order to cope harder.
> The House of Representatives shall choose their Speaker and other Officers; and shall have the sole Power of Impeachment.
If the Democrats try impeaching him, the republicans will wait with their decision until a minute before the election is called. If there's a high probability he'll win, they'll pass the impeachement. Result:
Pence is president for 8 weeks, after which Trump is again the newly elected president.
And meanwhile the DDF have kept insisting that we'd build a wall, that Mexico would pay for it, that hilldog would be behind bars, that Onama would be investigated for wiretapping, that ISIS would be defeated within 30 days of him being inaugrated, that Obamacare would be killed, that the travel ban would stay in effect, that gun control would be repealed, that the DREAMers would be deported(he couldn't even repeal DACA lmao), that the Swamp would be drained, that Moore would win, that le Pen would win, that Trudrau would lose, that the Republicans would win a supermajority in midterms....
...but nonetheless I'm glad you're rallying behind a guy whose greatest achievement in office is not being impeached....yet. Enjoy the false sense of victory it may give you while it lasts.

The amount of karma (points) on your comment and Reddit account has decreased by one.
Why did you do this?
There are several reasons I may deem a comment to be unworthy of positive or neutral karma. These include, but are not limited to:
Rudeness towards other Redditors,
Spreading incorrect information,
Sarcasm not correctly flagged with a /s.
Am I banned from the Reddit?
No - not yet. But you should refrain from making comments like this in the future. Otherwise I will be forced to issue an additional downvote, which may put your commenting and posting privileges in jeopardy.
I don't believe my comment deserved a downvote. Can you un-downvote it?
Sure, mistakes happen. But only in exceedingly rare circumstances will I undo a downvote. If you would like to issue an appeal, shoot me a private message explaining what I got wrong. I tend to respond to Reddit PMs within several minutes. Do note, however, that over 99.9% of downvote appeals are rejected, and yours is likely no exception.
How can I prevent this from happening in the future?
Accept the downvote and move on. But learn from this mistake: your behavior will not be tolerated on Reddit.com. I will continue to issue downvotes until you improve your conduct. Remember: Reddit is privilege, not a right.
Can someone is not autistic like me explain why this is allegedly a impeachable offence but the democracts stating over and over that Brett K is a hyper rapist and trying to plant false witness statements isnt a big deal?
Isnt using government influence to slander a potential judge that is a political rival an equivalent? On trump, It's not extortion unless there was a threat of some kind upon refusal, right?
I guess if you can prove she was coerced to give false testimony.
Trump is being accused of withholding aid to Ukraine in exchange for dirt on Biden, which is definitely illegal if true.
Using federal power to get foreign influence dirt on your election rival is at least ethically scetchy even if there was no extortion. This is a really bad look especially after just wrapping up the Russian scandal.
Using the power of your office to hold up hundreds of millions of dollars in aid (already approved by congress) in order to extort the Ukrainian president to announce on CNN that he is investigating your political opponent is not in any way shape or form equal to paying a private company for opposition research. If you think it is you need to take off your partisan glasses and have a real big brain think.
I don't usually use forums or Reddit, I usually just post comments on Ancap blogs like Molyneux or Cantwell's blog, but they didn't seem appropriate places to post my story. So here goes, I just wanted to share this with all of you.
Nov 3 I flew to Europe for a Eurotrip type tour. Not a guide or packaged deal, just going around by myself. I paid for half of the trip with the wages I earned over the last two years, my dad paid for the other half. I am 19, I guess that is normal starting college and all. (Before that I worked for my dad's company part time, so I guess you could say he paid for all of it, lol).
I did France and then Italy and then Greece next. I am an Ancap so I wanted to see anarchists in these places. Yes, I know they are different kinds of "anarchists" and not really full anarchists like us. I went to an anarchist book store in Italy and it had a lot of English books, but no Rothbard or Ancap. Like I said, I expected that, not a surprise.
I went to Greece, which everyone knows is famous for its revolutionary anarchism, its economic crisis and everything going on right now. Here I found directions for a local anarchist center. I went and didn't see anybody, but it was covered in graffiti, mostly in Greek so I couldn't read it. Whatever, I started taking pictures. Then some people came out and confronted me.
This should have been my first warning sign something was not right, because photography is not a crime. They were not violent, but they were not friendly, like asking who I was, what I wanted. They all spoke good English actually. Not uncommon in Greece. I said I was a tourist and an anarchist and I just wanted to take pictures. Then they got friendly and told me I should have asked first (but pictures are no NAP violation so I don't know why, but I didn't say anything) and they invited me inside.
We hung out for a while and smoked hash (there is no good dank in Europe as you might find out like in Cali, everyone smokes hash with tobacco which isn't as cool as it sounds). We started talking about politics and anarchism. I was trying to talk about the state, they were like yeah no doubt the state was bad. But they wanted to talk about capitalism, capitalism this and that. This is when we started to get into a debate.
I told them that what they called capitalism is different from the free market. They said capitalism is free markets. And I said I agreed. That is what I am saying. Real capitalism is free markets. And they said yes, that is what we are trying to get rid of. And I said no, but we don't even have that right now. We need more free markets. And everyone at the same time was like "nooo" we are anarchists, we are against capitalism. Anarchists oppose capitalism.
And I said but not anarcho-capitalists. Anarcho-capitalists are the anarchists who support capitalism. I had a fanny pack (yeah, lame I know) for my camera and in that I had this yellow and black bowtie (also super lame, it was a joke but I wasnt wearing it). And I said look, these are the Ancap colors, yellow and black, like versus the communist red and black. Well, these guys had a lot of red and black in the building already so I thought they would get it.
I think that is when it started to get a really bad vibe, really tense in the air. The free market thing was funny, we disagreed but I think they thought I was just confused. Everyone was uncomfortable now. Then someone said markets wont work with democracy. And I said exactly, that's it, democracy is against anarchism. And they kind of agreed, and said yes, we don't have real democracy, just governments, and we needed more democracy. I said no, we need less democracy, democracy is the enemy. And we need to end democracy to have anarchy. Then they were all like "noooo" again. You know that thing people do in groups when everyone all says "nooo" or expresses some disapproval at the same time.
And one of them said "but we do want to stop democracy" and then they kind of spoke back and forth in Greek. I didn't really understand it. And they asked me what I meant.
So I said okay, I had the floor, I was going to tell them about ancapism. And I tried to explain to them some Rothbard and Hoppe. I said the natural order in anarchy is that the best rise to the top, the market picks who is the best. They compete and are peaceful. They said what do we want instead of anarchy. I said we want private owners to own their own land and businesses, and to employ people. They said that is what we have now. I said no, it would be even better. One of the guys said it was like feudalism. And I said it is not feudalism.
Eventually one of the guys spoke up and I thought he was Greek, but he spoke English perfectly so he may have not been. He said he knew what anarcho-capitalism was and that we were basically fascists. He asked me if I thought everything should be private. And I said yes. And he asked me if I thought people were unequal. And I told him yes. And that not everyone would have equal rights. I said everyone has the right to own property and not be done aggression against. But that not everyone had to be treated equally by the owners. He said what about immigrants and racism. And I said that would not happen in a free market, but yes property owners could be racist if they wanted to. They had to respect property.
Then he called me a fascist again, and someone else said I was a fascist. And then they basically all started shouting fascist at me, and one of them grabbed me by the wrists. They pulled me out the door, it was up three floors, and basically drug me down the stairs on my back. It hurt really bad and I remember yelling "you're breaking the NAP" and things like that. "Stop initiating force against me." Then they kicked me around on the ground in the hallway, before they took my camera and threw me outside. I was crying and stuff, I just sat there. I was in shock because it was so sudden. Looking back there were warning signs though.
I think they felt bad for me and gave the camera back, but when I looked later they stole the memory card with all of my Greek photos.
So they initiated force and theft. They broke the NAP. I knew the left anarchists were not real anarchists, but I never knew they would do something that bad.
I wasnt seriously hurt, just kicked around a little, lots of bruises and little cuts. I am fine guys so don't worry. Just needed to share.
I am not crying and shitting about this place being surrounded by Daddy lovers, I was referring to the house GOP representatives in the article
now that you mention it, rightoids like you have such a victim complex you are mentally projecting people oppressing you 24/7, its just incredible being wanting to be a victim at all cost
They project the notion of others "coping" and "seething" yet all I see in this thread is them doing exactly that, because something they told us would never happen just did
Are we forgetting the "radical centrists" whose only objective on here is to shit on trump at every possible opportunity? There are only, like, a dozen regulars here (myself included) who voted for Trump. Nearly everyone else is a seething leftie wearing a mask of centrism to hide their tears.
So he's most likely going to be impeached by the house- pretty sure we can all agree on that.
Which would mean, when it does happen, that the only two presidents to have ever been impeached in over 150 years of American history just happened to be buddies.
The house would have had the power to subpoena earlier and would have had more teeth when dealing with white house. It wouldn't have looked like speculative grabass to moderates like it did/and still kinda does.
Something actually happening would be exciting. I unironically wanted Trump to win because I figured he stood a better chance of being impeached. But I feel like nothing is going to come of this.
Pelosi was the Russian asset all along! This whole shitshow will end up being a wet fart when it eventually comes to conclusion is some 10 fucking years after which no sane person will ever vote for dems.

Key word formally. But if you've noticed Congress has always been good at passing resolutions to allow them to think about passing more resolutions.

DDF was huffing and puffing about having a formal vote. A formal vote was not required in the first place. This simply takes away a red herring talking point DDF was using.

Pretty sure we've all known he was going to get impeached in the house but not convicted in the senate at some point in his presidency.
Idk why anyone's surprised.
All that really matters from an electoral standpoint is whether or not his impeachment rallies his base and helps him in 2020 or rallies the Democrat base and helps them in 2020. One of those two things is going to be the only real consequence from this shit.

The entire process is political. Impeachment is a political process. DDF is relying on arguing about the process of impeachment because the facts are against DDF. This takes the process argument away from DDF without needing to compromise on anything.

The facts are that there was no quid pro quo in the phone call
the ukraine president said there was no quid pro quo
ukraine has already received the quid without any quo
so.... the facts of the case prove that the democrats are making shit up, again, after the Mueller report humiliated them. Wonder what country will be next this one fails. China? North Korea? Bulgaria? Romania?

Yep! Sorry bro, but that’s a real cringe comment! Fortunately, we’ve got a strict punishment system to put cringe normies like you in their place! Here’s what’s gonna happen!
STAGE ONE
Your comment will be downvoted. Remember: Posting cringe could cause you to lose subscriber!

STAGE THREE
You will start to feel a sense of uneasiness and/or the feeling of being watched. Ignore this. Everything is perfectly fine!

1 big_papa_stiffy 2019-10-31

he got impeached
get dabbed on
1 big_papa_stiffy 2019-10-31
oh did the wrinkly old woman finally send the papers to the senate?
it doesnt actually happen until it goes to the senate and then theyll just immediately acquit him, i dont get what youre trying to boast about
1 taytaybraps 2019-10-31
that he got impeached lol dabs
1 big_papa_stiffy 2019-10-31
its not impeachment until the process is completed, ie handed over to the senate
which she wont do probably ever
and if she does theyll acquit him without even looking at it lol
seriously what have you got to gloat about im confused
1 taytaybraps 2019-10-31
Bwahahahahahahahaha this is quite an epic level of DDF cope. Not claiming that the impeachment was corrupt or unjustified, but denying he was impeached
Article 1, Section 2, Clause 5 of the Constitution
So yes he was impeached, ie charged with a crime by the House. The Senate handles his removal from office, not impeachment. Impeachment is done and over with and of course you're smoothbrained enough not to understand the difference.
Even daddy knows he was impeached.
1 big_papa_stiffy 2019-10-31
thats what happens when you refuse to go through the actual motions and just make declarations
theyre refusing to continue because they know they cant do anything, same way they dragged out the russia shit for years lmao
hes not impeached until the senate has a trial and they wont
lol not until they hand the shit over to the senate though, at which point its out of their hands and lost
so pelosis stalling
the house only has the power to take it to trial and theyre refusing to let it proceed, so seems like they dont really have that much power after all huh
lmao imagine wasting 4 years sperging about the guy who won to no effect instead of making a plan to beat him, smh dems
1 taytaybraps 2019-10-31
Do you know what being impeached means or not? What you're describing is being removed from office, not impeached.
Point to me where in the Constitution it says they need to "hand the shit over to the senate" before the president is impeached. Not removed from office, but impeached
So I win this argument and you're dumber than a box of rocks. Trump was impeached and you said he couldn't be and now you're claiming he wasn't.
1 big_papa_stiffy 2019-10-31
sure, i also know that you need to actually complete the process for it to count which includes handing the documents over to the senate
you cant just vote to impeach and then stall so he cant be acquited lol
either you send it to the senate so they can throw it out, or you dont and hes not impeached ever
pelosi overplayed her hand and knows she fucked up lol thats why nothing has happened
thats literally how it works because its the next step in the process
house votes, then senate does a trial
impeachment requires both
without one its not an impeachment, especially when its just obstructed by a crazy old woman who knows she lost lol
ok i guess you can comfort yourself with that as pelosi literally never hands over the papers and stalls until the next election
hes literally not lol youre so mad this didnt work huh
1 taytaybraps 2019-10-31
Now show me in the Constitution where it says that it has to be sent over to the Senate in order for him to be impeached. Not removed from office, impeached.
Come on, point it out to me the text in the Constitution that supports your claim. Not something you pulled out your ads in order to cope harder.
> The House of Representatives shall choose their Speaker and other Officers; and shall have the sole Power of Impeachment.
1 big_papa_stiffy 2019-10-31
yeah ie determine whether or not to hand it to the senate
thats the decision they make
see this part, especially "passage"
passing the articles includes the transfer to the senate, thats what completes the process
why you breaking out the bolds nigga its still the same argument

If the Democrats try impeaching him, the republicans will wait with their decision until a minute before the election is called. If there's a high probability he'll win, they'll pass the impeachement. Result:
Pence is president for 8 weeks, after which Trump is again the newly elected president.

...but nonetheless I'm glad you're rallying behind a guy whose greatest achievement in office is not being impeached....yet. Enjoy the false sense of victory it may give you while it lasts.

I just downvoted your comment.
FAQ
What does this mean?
The amount of karma (points) on your comment and Reddit account has decreased by one.
Why did you do this?
There are several reasons I may deem a comment to be unworthy of positive or neutral karma. These include, but are not limited to:
Rudeness towards other Redditors, Spreading incorrect information, Sarcasm not correctly flagged with a /s.
Am I banned from the Reddit?
No - not yet. But you should refrain from making comments like this in the future. Otherwise I will be forced to issue an additional downvote, which may put your commenting and posting privileges in jeopardy.
I don't believe my comment deserved a downvote. Can you un-downvote it?
Sure, mistakes happen. But only in exceedingly rare circumstances will I undo a downvote. If you would like to issue an appeal, shoot me a private message explaining what I got wrong. I tend to respond to Reddit PMs within several minutes. Do note, however, that over 99.9% of downvote appeals are rejected, and yours is likely no exception.
How can I prevent this from happening in the future?
Accept the downvote and move on. But learn from this mistake: your behavior will not be tolerated on Reddit.com. I will continue to issue downvotes until you improve your conduct. Remember: Reddit is privilege, not a right.
1 Neon_needles 2019-10-31
Can someone is not autistic like me explain why this is allegedly a impeachable offence but the democracts stating over and over that Brett K is a hyper rapist and trying to plant false witness statements isnt a big deal?
1 ManBearFridge 2019-10-31
Cause one is using federal powers to extort a foreign country to get involved in an election and the other is just hearsay.
Also, who would you have impeached?
1 Neon_needles 2019-10-31
Isnt using government influence to slander a potential judge that is a political rival an equivalent? On trump, It's not extortion unless there was a threat of some kind upon refusal, right?
1 ManBearFridge 2019-10-31
I guess if you can prove she was coerced to give false testimony.
Trump is being accused of withholding aid to Ukraine in exchange for dirt on Biden, which is definitely illegal if true.
Using federal power to get foreign influence dirt on your election rival is at least ethically scetchy even if there was no extortion. This is a really bad look especially after just wrapping up the Russian scandal.
1 Neon_needles 2019-10-31
Ukraine already has AIDS, it doesn't need more.
Why? Didnt like democracts in office do this across the whole EU regarding Trump and his pee tape stuff?
1 ManBearFridge 2019-10-31
Not quite, they paid for a private investigation. Also, the firm is located in the US.
1 Neon_needles 2019-10-31
Yeah, but it's pretty much the same. I mean, didnt MI6 get involved and the Brits had James Bond on that shit because Hillary told them to?
And yall niggas know that when Hillary doesmt get what she wants, people die. Like, imagine if James bond died in a jogging accident?
1 ManBearFridge 2019-10-31
It really isn't.
The former MI6 dude works for the American firm. The private investor then.. investigated.. privately.
There was no pulling strings, no abuse of power, no extortion, no politician getting a foreign power directly involved.
You are comparing road apples to oranges.

Using the power of your office to hold up hundreds of millions of dollars in aid (already approved by congress) in order to extort the Ukrainian president to announce on CNN that he is investigating your political opponent is not in any way shape or form equal to paying a private company for opposition research.

1 SJCards 2019-10-31
I don't usually use forums or Reddit, I usually just post comments on Ancap blogs like Molyneux or Cantwell's blog, but they didn't seem appropriate places to post my story. So here goes, I just wanted to share this with all of you.
Nov 3 I flew to Europe for a Eurotrip type tour. Not a guide or packaged deal, just going around by myself. I paid for half of the trip with the wages I earned over the last two years, my dad paid for the other half. I am 19, I guess that is normal starting college and all. (Before that I worked for my dad's company part time, so I guess you could say he paid for all of it, lol).
I did France and then Italy and then Greece next. I am an Ancap so I wanted to see anarchists in these places. Yes, I know they are different kinds of "anarchists" and not really full anarchists like us. I went to an anarchist book store in Italy and it had a lot of English books, but no Rothbard or Ancap. Like I said, I expected that, not a surprise.
I went to Greece, which everyone knows is famous for its revolutionary anarchism, its economic crisis and everything going on right now. Here I found directions for a local anarchist center. I went and didn't see anybody, but it was covered in graffiti, mostly in Greek so I couldn't read it. Whatever, I started taking pictures. Then some people came out and confronted me.
This should have been my first warning sign something was not right, because photography is not a crime. They were not violent, but they were not friendly, like asking who I was, what I wanted. They all spoke good English actually. Not uncommon in Greece. I said I was a tourist and an anarchist and I just wanted to take pictures. Then they got friendly and told me I should have asked first (but pictures are no NAP violation so I don't know why, but I didn't say anything) and they invited me inside.
We hung out for a while and smoked hash (there is no good dank in Europe as you might find out like in Cali, everyone smokes hash with tobacco which isn't as cool as it sounds). We started talking about politics and anarchism. I was trying to talk about the state, they were like yeah no doubt the state was bad. But they wanted to talk about capitalism, capitalism this and that. This is when we started to get into a debate.
I told them that what they called capitalism is different from the free market. They said capitalism is free markets. And I said I agreed. That is what I am saying. Real capitalism is free markets. And they said yes, that is what we are trying to get rid of. And I said no, but we don't even have that right now. We need more free markets. And everyone at the same time was like "nooo" we are anarchists, we are against capitalism. Anarchists oppose capitalism.
And I said but not anarcho-capitalists. Anarcho-capitalists are the anarchists who support capitalism. I had a fanny pack (yeah, lame I know) for my camera and in that I had this yellow and black bowtie (also super lame, it was a joke but I wasnt wearing it). And I said look, these are the Ancap colors, yellow and black, like versus the communist red and black. Well, these guys had a lot of red and black in the building already so I thought they would get it.
I think that is when it started to get a really bad vibe, really tense in the air. The free market thing was funny, we disagreed but I think they thought I was just confused. Everyone was uncomfortable now. Then someone said markets wont work with democracy. And I said exactly, that's it, democracy is against anarchism. And they kind of agreed, and said yes, we don't have real democracy, just governments, and we needed more democracy. I said no, we need less democracy, democracy is the enemy. And we need to end democracy to have anarchy. Then they were all like "noooo" again. You know that thing people do in groups when everyone all says "nooo" or expresses some disapproval at the same time.
And one of them said "but we do want to stop democracy" and then they kind of spoke back and forth in Greek. I didn't really understand it. And they asked me what I meant.
So I said okay, I had the floor, I was going to tell them about ancapism. And I tried to explain to them some Rothbard and Hoppe. I said the natural order in anarchy is that the best rise to the top, the market picks who is the best. They compete and are peaceful. They said what do we want instead of anarchy. I said we want private owners to own their own land and businesses, and to employ people. They said that is what we have now. I said no, it would be even better. One of the guys said it was like feudalism. And I said it is not feudalism.
Eventually one of the guys spoke up and I thought he was Greek, but he spoke English perfectly so he may have not been. He said he knew what anarcho-capitalism was and that we were basically fascists. He asked me if I thought everything should be private. And I said yes. And he asked me if I thought people were unequal. And I told him yes. And that not everyone would have equal rights. I said everyone has the right to own property and not be done aggression against. But that not everyone had to be treated equally by the owners. He said what about immigrants and racism. And I said that would not happen in a free market, but yes property owners could be racist if they wanted to. They had to respect property.
Then he called me a fascist again, and someone else said I was a fascist. And then they basically all started shouting fascist at me, and one of them grabbed me by the wrists. They pulled me out the door, it was up three floors, and basically drug me down the stairs on my back. It hurt really bad and I remember yelling "you're breaking the NAP" and things like that. "Stop initiating force against me." Then they kicked me around on the ground in the hallway, before they took my camera and threw me outside. I was crying and stuff, I just sat there. I was in shock because it was so sudden. Looking back there were warning signs though.
I think they felt bad for me and gave the camera back, but when I looked later they stole the memory card with all of my Greek photos.
So they initiated force and theft. They broke the NAP. I knew the left anarchists were not real anarchists, but I never knew they would do something that bad.
I wasnt seriously hurt, just kicked around a little, lots of bruises and little cuts. I am fine guys so don't worry. Just needed to share.

lol look at all the DDF in the house, complaining about the process, all of the sudden caring about that bullshit
bitching about process in general is such a bad COPE, it would be better for them to just go full conspiratard and call everything fake than this

Instead of crying and shitting that this isn't a safe space, why don't you go back to one of your many safe spaces?

I am not crying and shitting about this place being surrounded by Daddy lovers, I was referring to the house GOP representatives in the article
now that you mention it, rightoids like you have such a victim complex you are mentally projecting people oppressing you 24/7, its just incredible being wanting to be a victim at all cost
1 taytaybraps 2019-10-31
They project the notion of others "coping" and "seething" yet all I see in this thread is them doing exactly that, because something they told us would never happen just did

And now they're crying that the impeachment process is political. The cope is delicious.

So much for the "radical centrists" here who come to Daddy's aid at every possible opportunity.
If he's such an alpha as y'all claim he can defend himself
1 oss_spy 2019-10-31
Are we forgetting the "radical centrists" whose only objective on here is to shit on trump at every possible opportunity? There are only, like, a dozen regulars here (myself included) who voted for Trump. Nearly everyone else is a seething leftie wearing a mask of centrism to hide their tears.

So he's most likely going to be impeached by the house- pretty sure we can all agree on that.
Which would mean, when it does happen, that the only two presidents to have ever been impeached in over 150 years of American history just happened to be buddies.
Kind of funny, tbh.
1 OnlyRacistOnReddit 2019-10-31
Finally! If Pelosi had done this weeks ago we would have been in a much better place.
1 McFluff_TheCrimeCat 2019-10-31
Nah. It’s best they waited until they had someone with direct knowledge and was on the call testify.
1 OnlyRacistOnReddit 2019-10-31
I think the transparency would have been better.
1 McFluff_TheCrimeCat 2019-10-31
There’s been more transparency than even required. There still going be holding classified material briefings behind closed door that’s just standard.
1 OnlyRacistOnReddit 2019-10-31
Yep, but they will also be required to present findings to the full house.
1 McFluff_TheCrimeCat 2019-10-31
What do you mean by that though? It’s been pretty transparent.
1 shitpersonality 2019-10-31

The American people.
1 shitpersonality 2019-10-31
Why would we be in a better place? What would be different?
1 OnlyRacistOnReddit 2019-10-31
The house would have had the power to subpoena earlier and would have had more teeth when dealing with white house. It wouldn't have looked like speculative grabass to moderates like it did/and still kinda does.
1 shitpersonality 2019-10-31
They have been issuing subpoenas for months.
1 OnlyRacistOnReddit 2019-10-31
But they had no weight because they hadn't formalized the impeachment hearings.

Something actually happening would be exciting. I unironically wanted Trump to win because I figured he stood a better chance of being impeached. But I feel like nothing is going to come of this.
