So, as I fully expected, Senator Thom Tillis has decided to not do the right thing. He has decided to be the same old, stupid, Obama-obstructing, Trump-asskissing shitheel that he has been ever since he took office. *shrug*
In other words, to hell with Thom Tillis. I hope he goes down right along with the S.S. Trumptanic, when it finally hits the iceberg (of justice) that's looming in the waters ahead.
Thank you for taking the time to contact me about the impeachment inquiry into President Trump. I appreciate hearing from you.
As you may know, on September 24, 2019, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced that the House of Representatives would initiate an impeachment inquiry into President Trump. This announcement followed months of House Committee investigations and pressure from Speaker Pelosi’s caucus to open an impeachment inquiry. On October 31, 2019, the House of Representatives voted along party lines to formally open an impeachment inquiry into President Trump.
Let me be clear – I firmly oppose Speaker Pelosi’s effort to impeach President Trump for political purposes. This is nothing more than a political exercise to distract the American people from President Trump’s record of results and from the real issues that North Carolinians care about.
Now that the House has voted to open an inquiry, it is up to the House Judiciary Committee to decide whether to recommend articles of impeachment, and the House would then debate and vote on each article of impeachment. If the House votes in favor of any article, the President would be impeached – but not removed from office. At that time, the articles of impeachment would be sent to the Senate, which would hold a trial. Senator McConnell has said that if the Senate receives articles of impeachment from the House, the Senate will hold an impeachment trial. The President would only be removed from office if two-thirds of the Senate, or 67 Senators, vote to convict and subsequently remove the President from office.
This current rush to impeachment was prompted by a complaint, based on second-hand information, which outlined concerns about a phone call between President Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. Speaker Pelosi announced the impeachment inquiry before she had read the transcript of this phone call, and before either the complaint or the transcript were made available to the House or the public.
In the interest of transparency, President Trump declassified both the transcript of his call with President Zelensky and the complaint which was filed. After reviewing the transcript and the complaint, I am convinced that this rush to impeachment was unfounded, and yet another attempt by Speaker Pelosi and Congressman Adam Schiff to play partisan politics at the expense of the American people.
Instead of focusing on real issues like securing our border, modernizing our infrastructure, or supporting our military, certain outspoken House members and Speaker Pelosi are using all of their time and resources to once again try to cast doubt on the results of the 2016 election. It is unfortunate that they are yet again playing political games instead of conducting the work of the American people.
Thank you again for taking the time to contact me. Please do not hesitate to reach out again about other important issues.
Sincerely,
Thom Tillis
U.S. Senator
The fact that I got such a reply only a day after sending my initial message shows me that Senator Tillis himself very likely never even saw my message, and probably some intern or whoever just emailed me back with the above copy/pasted piece of shit form letter.
Also, I'll probably now get another billion emails from "The Office of Senator Thom Tillis" before I can finally get them to remove me from their spam list, despite explicitly checking the "Please do not send me e-mail updates from Senator Tillis" option when I sent them my initial message. We'll see, I guess. Every single one I get from him will be reported to https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/ as soon as I get them.
