'New Yorker' Columnist: 'Absolutely Terrifying' to Think 'Reasonable People Can Disagree' About Impeaching Trump

The New Yorker Columnist Masha Gessen said on Sunday it was terrifying to think how "reasonable people" can be against impeaching President Trump after all of the inquiry hearings.

"You know, what worries me the most, actually, is that I think that since about a week ago when we saw the legal experts testifying in Congress, I think we’ve been in new territory, which is the sense that reasonable people can disagree about whether he should be impeached," Gessen said on CNN's "Reliable Sources."

"I think this was Turley's testimony in the Judiciary Committee. But I find it absolutely terrifying. Right? And I see that Trump is positioning himself to the sort of — to the fringes," she continued. "But you don’t have to believe Trump’s tweets in order to be a reasonable person who thinks that maybe we shouldn’t have rushed with impeachment. Maybe we should have heard witnesses, you know who are stonewalling, who had firsthand knowledge, et cetera. I think this is absolutely terrifying. I think we’re going to be seeing more of that kind of morass."

The House Judiciary Committee voted to approve the two articles of impeachment, abuse of power and obstruction of Congress, to be sent to the full House in a party line vote. The House is expected to vote on impeachment on Wednesday.

Rep. Jeff Van Drew, who is currently a Democrat from New Jersey, revealed that due to his opposition to the impeachment process and lack of conclusive evidence, he will become a Republican. As a result of him switching parties, Rep. Steve Cohen (D-TN) called Van Drew a "rat" and a "traitor."

She looks like a very unhappy woman.

 

[Reasonable Rascal]

An experienced mental health worker thinks it is "absolutely puzzling" how any reasonable person cannot disagree about the Trump impeachment.

They really need to push forward with the possible changes to the ICD-10 codes to recognize a form of TDS as a legit mental illness. The problem seems to be deciding whether they should be classified as an Unspecified Mental Disorder, a Disorder of Adult Personality and Behavior (most agreed upon to date), or a Mood Disorder.

Personally, whatever they decide to call it, I think electroshock therapy should recognized as the treatment of choice.

"She" looks like an "It" in addition to being a moron.

 

[Jonas Parker]

That's a woman????

 

[Dennis Olson]

Takeaway: Only UNreasonable people therefore disagree about impeaching Trump. Thus, only liberals are reasonable people. So, it is okay to beat or kill unreasonable people.

440vAC should do...

I thought it was a man as well.

A lead lobotomy would be more effective.

These Dems have been blinded to the Truth because they refuse to believe the Truth.

Ooops! I didn't see your above post, Doz. I could have sworn she was a man. A transgender. Thanks for the post enlightening us!

 

[idum]

Seriously, I couldn't figure out if it was a woman wanting to be a man or a man wanting to be a woman. Disturbing, either way. uke1:

Well that clears a few things up.

A Lady most certainly not!
Another reason we don't trust MSM.

Doesn't look like a woman at all to me.

Maybe I'm missing something, but it appears she's actually saying he shouldn't be impeached this way.

Turley is the only witness that was against it.

Funny ... Coming from someone who doesn't know if they're a man or women.

I have to agree on this one. How could anybody be for impeaching Trump? He didn't do anything wrong. There should be no disagreement on that.

What....did I miss something?

440vAC should do...

Actually, 208VAC is known among electricians as the "widow maker" because 440VAC (440-480VAC)is widely known to be fatal because of the typical application in industry, etc. 440VAC in 3phase systems is between phase conductors, but is 208VAC to neutral (grounded) conductor and is typical in large lighting circuits. The direct connection to ground makes even slight contact more deadly because the "let go" current is exceeded. Not to nit pick, but any voltage above 70 volts can be fatal.

She looks like she would skeer easy anyway.

 

[Dennis Olson]

Its terrifying to think how easy liberals are terrified. Their world must be a living nightmare.

 

[night driver]

So basically, A Priori, if you are NOT in favor of the impeachment of DJT you are not a reasonable person.

 

[Trivium Pursuit]

"She"? At first glance at the top of the OP, I literally thought I was seeing a pajama boy.

The Left is anything but "reasonable", and I am DONE with trying to communicate with them.

And... That reporter chick is an enemy of the Republic.

I'm not sure I'd call that a "chick." Looks like it's in transition, but I'm not sure which way it's going. Back away slooowly, don't make eye contact and you should be okay.

 

[dstraito]

It is indeed disturbing that half the people in this country are mentally diseased asshole traitors who would prefer to see this country fail.

 

[Ractivist]

How can anyone in the media use her testimony, she's obviously tied to Russia and should be dismissed outright.

She did end up looking quite male, for a female......guess she thought she makes a better looking man than woman.

 

[Watchman2]

If you can read between the lines.... and then in the lines, you find that this is why these people are NOT socialist but communist.

There is no reasonable discussion or discourse, no respectful disagreement. You either agree with them or they want you dead.

Period.
