    The only American president to be impeached twice...

    The only American president who incites a riot that invades the capitol building

    The only American president who conducts tirades and makes policy over twitter...

    The only American president who needs an official dressing down by the joint chiefs, and 8 previous secreteries of defence.

    Imagine having your brain melted so far that you voted for this conman not once but twice........:?:

    Not that we have anyone like that here.... cough cough

    Chuck Todd is certain that there are at least 16 Republican votes in the Senate to convict as soon as it comes to a vote. That’s interesting. Of course unless there’s big news soon, McConnell won’t agree to call back the Senate until the 19th.

    Need 17 Rs if all Ds vote for. That isn’t a given. West Virginia (Joe Manchin) went for Trump by 40 points.

    Wow, crazy to think that Trump is the first cast member from Home Alone 2 to be impeached twice.

    True Fact:

    Trump's scene was edited out of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation's airing of Home Alone 2.

    The network said it was due to commercial time constraints, but interesting that they chose that specific scene...

    Can’t vouch for the law (what kind of quorum is needed?) or the math but this is interesting.

    17 are needed to convict. I would guess that the number who would vote to convict doesn't break 7.

    On the NBC YouTube livestream covering the impeachment, after the vote and around 5-10 minutes before they started the recap.

    Tererun, like certain other folks that will remain nameless, seems to think that any support for Biden is a support for the status quo and somehow Biden is the same level of evil as Trump because he helped the original deporter in chief aka Obama. Or something. Also, he's a rapist.

    And if the latter is true....well, I guess we'll see how fast an impeachment trial can be pushed through this week. Were getting pretty good at cleaning out the trash. Even then, Biden will still have wrecked far less havoc on this country than Trump has.

    Wypipo always trying to be oppressed.

    Meanwhile, black folks came up with the term "wypipo" because we were getting posts removed for containing the full phrase because crackers got butthurt about it. :jayzus:

    This woman makes Sarah Palin look like Stephen Hawking, goddamn.

    or it could be that Alabama (the Huntsville area specifically) already has a shit-ton of young highly educated talent in the technical specialties applicable to sub-contracting military projects involving a "Space Force" focused mission. Google Huntsville and military contracting for more details if interested.

    One of my old hangs in Saigon re-released a special brew for the occasion.
