Justin Amash gone from House Freedom Caucus after saying Trump's conduct was 'impeachable'

Barnacle said:
"... Amash said he did not want to continue to be a "further distraction" for the caucus ..."

I think it's more that Amash realized that his personal connection to China (part-owner of a Chinese company) would be even more exposed and could be damaging to the family tool business.
His family probably told him to get out of the limelight ... :lol:

OR ----- he could just have the need to retain his personal integrity and dignity.

Good move on Amash's part. I would not want to be part of any group that has Jim Jordan as a major member of.

The House Liberty Caucus is nothing more than a formal ass kissing club for Trump. They are a disgrace.

Jim Jordan is a pathetic turd, a complete moron, and a disingenuous grifter at the VERY best.

Idiots like Jim Jordan. Mark Meadows and Fox News are actually proud to wear the label "Trump Ass Kisser".The Republicans deserve to lose every election they are in for the next generation. Amash is a real Republican, unlike Trump and the fools who support him. I'm glad he did this. The Freedom Caucus doesn't deserve Amash.How disgusting that the Republican Party has now become simply The Party of Trump.

And the Democrats don't? They stand for your principles? Please admit it, I've wanted to hear you say it for so long. Finally tell us the truth.
 
He probably just got tired of the venomous snakes coming out of his mouth whenever he said he belonged to a "Freedom Caucus".

Why would they? Amash's voting record is impeccably conservative. He just isn't a Trump asslicker, so it has the Trumptard supporters (who believe in Trump over country) in an uproar.

And you believed in Hillary over the country; so much so you wanted to circumvent the Constitution, and elect her based on popular vote. That's how much you hate the Constitution.

Amash is pretty arrogant considering the company he was keeping. To pretend he was more conservative than the rest to total bull****. In fact there are some with much higher conservative scores than Amash. Jim Jordan (who some liberals hate) for one, and Matthews.

If you can point out anything my post that talks about my principles, and Democrats standing for my principles, please do it. Otherwise your post is just stupid.

You need some basic lessons in reading comprehension.

I don't know what the Party of Trump stands for.

I know Trump fans look at him as the entire Republican Party, and apparently are too stupid to know that he won't be POTUS forever, and when he is gone, the party is supposed to keep standing. Seems most don't know that.

Jim Jones didn't allow dissension in his ranks either. You either worshipped and supported Jones, or you were out. Looks like the Republicans have embraced their inner Jim Jones.

You don't know very much if you don't know the Chao family history. Her uncle owns a freight ship called the 'Ping May'. In August 2014, the rusty cargo vessel Ping May, was set to disembark from the port of Santa Marta, Colombia en route to the Netherlands. Colombian inspectors boarded the boat and made a discovery. Hidden in the ship’s chain locker, amidst its load of coal bound for Europe, were approximately 40 kilograms, or about ninety pounds, of cocaine. The drug bust went unnoticed in Kentucky, where every bit of McConnell-related news had generated fodder for his campaign trail re-election in that year. That’s because, like many international shipping companies, Chao’s firm is shrouded from public view, concealing its identity and limiting its legal liability through an array of tax shelters and foreign registrations. Registered through a limited liability company in the Marshall Islands, the Ping May flies the Liberian flag.

One day ago....

A $59 Million Will Sheds Light On Shipping Fortune Connected To Elaine Chao And Mitch McConnell

[snip]In 1964 James Chao (Elaine's father) founded a shipping company called Foremost Maritime Group. Fifty-five years later it is an international giant worth hundreds of millions of dollars. Part of that fortune could theoretically be passed to Chao in the coming years.

Amen. And apparently he was also deaf, dumb and blind as a college wrestling coach.

Did you see Jordan make a fool of himself again yesterday with John Dean? And Matt Gaetz was so bad that everyone was laughing at his idiocy. Dean knew how to humiliate them.

Please show where I wanted to elect her based on popular vote. Why do you feel the need to lie so much?

McConnell's in-laws' activities have been known far and wide for years ... no secret there. Didn't seem to have bothered anybody on either side of the isle for ever.

Amash is co-owner of a Chinese company, importing half-finished tools to his family-run business, finishing them here and selling them then as made in the USA.
Hardly anybody knew about this ... until he opened his large-ass mouth. Well, he shut up pretty quickly now ... :lol:

Yeah, but not hold your opponents to the same standard, while simultaneously desparging one of your own party. Hypocrite is what he is.

You like to play both side it appears, when are you going to actually stand for something besides hating Trump? All I see is complaining. You need to get a grip, you let you hating of Trump change you.

No more stupid than your vile comparison of Trump supporters to Jim Jone's koolaid drinkers.

Can you believe her idiot post? I asked her if Democrats stood for her principles, because she believes Reps should lose every election for a generation; but not a word about what Democrats have done. Obviously she sees merit in what they're doing.

So now you're saying that Trump DID collude with the Russians? Seems a little removed from reality.

Does this level of delusion occur naturally?

There was plenty of evidence of collusion by members of the Trump campaign.... it just did not rise to the standard of prosecutable conspiracy. The Mueller investigation was about conspiracy, not collusion.

Mueller report shows 'evidence of collusion', says Nixon lawyer John Dean – as it happened | US news | The Guardian
AP FACT CHECK: Trump, Barr distort Mueller report findings

From AP article: "...Allegations of “collusion” were not “proven false” in the Mueller investigation, nor was the issue of “collusion” addressed in the report.

The Mueller report said the investigation did not find a criminal conspiracy between the Trump campaign and Russia, saying it had not collected sufficient evidence “to establish” or sustain criminal charges.

The report noted that some Trump campaign officials had declined to testify under the 5th Amendment or had provided false or incomplete testimony, making it difficult to get a complete picture of what happened during the 2016 campaign. The special counsel wrote that he “cannot rule out the possibility” that unavailable information could have cast a different light on the investigation’s findings.

The report also makes clear the investigation did not assess whether “collusion” occurred because it is not a legal term. The investigation found multiple contacts between the Trump campaign and Russia, and the report said it established that “the Russian government perceived it would benefit from a Trump presidency and worked to secure that outcome, and that the Campaign expected it would benefit electorally from information stolen and released through Russian efforts.”
