Impeachment is very likely to happen. A majority of the House will likely vote to impeach the Republican President and then the case will go to the Senate for trial. What happens in the Senate is still up in the air. Likely they will not get the requisite votes (2/3rds) to remove him from office.
So you are supporting the idea that the dems side are full of loonies because @Dayton Kitchens says it? You do realize that giving credit to the absolute bullshit the right spouts is part of the problem that has given us Trump and the wackydoodle right? This idea that for the sake of avoiding conflict, which never happens, we should put crazy conspiracy theories on par with science and rational thought is a huge problem. @Dayton Kitchens and other right wing bullshit should be laughed at and mocked for it's complete absurdity. Instead you actually agreed with it. You actually gave Dayton kitchens agreement on one of his complete lies. If you compare this group of democrat nominees with the republican clown car of four years ago which gave us trump you will see a dignified group of candidates. even Joe biden with his rape hands has more dignity and respect than the whole of 2016's republican field. He is the most absurd of the dems. Never go full dayton.
Actually, most polls show the american electorate agrees with their policies and it is only the right wing extremists and their lie factory that promotes such bullshit. Don't think because @spot261 gave you some credit because he wants to be liked by everyone that you have any leg to stand on. The only place your bullshit Nazi crap flies is on stormfront. But thanks for finally showing your Nazi colors. We all knew it but at least now you admit you are a fascist neo nazi supporter.
Actually I misread his post as Republican, largely because I was expecting a comment about the alternative Republican candidates and was distracted whilst reading. But thanks for the benefit of the doubt.
It is getting more likely. You only really need 20 GOP senators to vote yes. I would still say it is unlikely but next year you have a huge number of rep senators facing election, and the evidence of this particular crime is shifting public opinion fast. If this is dumped on the senate in the beginning of the election year they are going to have to defend their votes during their elections. You add to that the reality that more of the same stuff might get dug up when the house gets a hold of many trump transcripts, and the recent claims he may have interfered in mandatory IRS audits for the president, and his obvious use of government funds for personal gain he might be in another huge scandal forcing the republicans to throw hi m under the bus.
I do ambiguous as a form of misdirection bloody well, it leaves people second guessing. Considering some of my track record here I'm not sure what makes you think I want everyone to like me, but hey ho. In this case though it was a simple fuck up, none of us are perfect. If you seriously have any doubts or confusion over my political positions by now I have no idea how they could be any clearer or more consistent?
I predict the first movers on the R side (if there are any) will have to be those with re-election 5 or 3 years out. Or those whose primary window has closed. Trump’s base simply has R electeds too scared of being primaried. Doesn’t matter if a majority of a state supports removing Trump if the R is going to lose their place on the ballot in a primary.
Trump: *shits his pants* @Zombie: the president did not shit his pants, you're all crazy. Trump: I SHIT MY PANTS ON PURPOSE @Zombie: obviously the president did not mean that he literally shit his pants, but also bowel movements are a natural bodily function so really Democrats should be ashamed for calling him out Trump: *shits his pants repeatedly on live TV on the White House lawn*
This Bush I, Bush II and Trump appointee (who was removed as ambassador to the Ukraine by Obama and reappointed by Trump) is an obvious partisan hack.
Trump thinks the drug industry is trying to impeach him. https://www.politico.com/news/2019/10/03/trump-drug-industry-impeachment-026123?cid=apn
You left out the part where the Democrats ran pretty much the worst possible candidate they could have. Actually, I'm hearing some quiet rumblings that enough of the Senate Republicans have had enough of the shenanigans and are becoming likely to support removing Trump. They're starting to see the long-term collateral damage he's doing to them. But we'll see what happens.
and today Pence, having calcuated the odds on surviving his awful hand, decides to buy in on Trump's bullshit with full force.
Time will tell with this. I doubt much will be done where trump supporters and their ignorance are the primary republicans, but the more purple the state the more likely it is. That is not to mention the farmers who will have to chose between their family business and Trump's tarrifs. If the dems are the only option to fight the tarrifs because the senate will not challenge trump with some legislation then it really becomes a matter of your home or the republicans. The economy has not fully tanked yet, but the farmers market has been definitively cut because of trump and his supporters. I am not sure if welfare for farmers is really what they want over their family business. It is really hard to tell right now. I am a little shocked so much movement has been made against trump over his impeachment which was not popular just a week or so ago. It is Trump so it is not like the flow of bad will actually slow down. Supporting him may backfire if that change keeps getting worse and the republicans do not cut him and his people loose from the party.
Zombie still debating process while Trump is literally standing in the White House drive on camera and mic doing AGAIN the thing for which he's being investigated. Seems like a losing strategy there hoss.
Major overlap in that 1/3 or so of the population with people who are, at least passively, evangelical Dominionist who'd vote for Jeffry Dahmaer if he promised to end abortion and punish the gays.
Probably....and yet.... they could only get ONE of them out of 53 to go on the Sunday shows and humiliate himself in Trump's defense (the one about whom Trump almost certainly has some very grievous kompromat on) and when Trump did it on camera today, not one Congressional Republican has been willing to comment on it at all. That's not unimportant.
Then how come such sweat inducing labor went into sabotaging her? If she was so horrible, the RNC should have just sat back, and relaxed with their feet up in the recliner, and waited for the landslide. That's not at all what they did, did they? And she still won the popular vote by 3 million. So, y'know, take that little talking point, and cram it next to your bloodiest hemorrhoid.
Trump's already lost. The economy is only relevant in so far as how badly he loses. He lost last time He's deeply unpopular in the three Midwest states he barely won then to get the EC (and also in Iowa) There exists no Democrat on the planet more heavily demonized and tainted among persuadable voters than Hillary Clinton, nor is there one comparable. He's failed at everything he's attempted save those things which pander specifically to his too-small core base He's been less popular across the board than he was on election day on EVERY day of his administration He's given the Democrats reams of ammunition to use against him in a campaign. Demographic shifts in certain states like AZ are quickly working against him Dem voters who didn't vote or wasted their vots assuming he couldn't possibly win in '16 are HEAVILY motivated to not repeat that mistake again, while Trump has no obvious pool of voters to tap that he didn't already win last time. If he loses even 1% of his '16 vote, distributed evenly, he loses the EC too and he won't do remotely that well.
