Quite agree, this system effectively gives the president the opportunity to do whatever they like as long as they have a strong representation in the Senate.Is this all a bit pointless when the next vote is his own party?
He's the classic narcissist playing his game on the world stage and I truly hope he's fecked off out of it.
The decision to remove should be independent judges. Not a bunch of his own mates FFS
I know, but unless she never runs for anything again, or switches parties, this vote is going to hurt her.She's not running for Congress again.
It is the same as in any other democratic country. Only senate can remove the head of state, not a group of independent judges.Is this all a bit pointless when the next vote is his own party?

Because it’s the right thing to do, regardless of the fact that the corrupt GOP will kick it out of the Senate.It is a pointless waste of time. Next vote he'll win, I'm still not sure why they're bothering with all this!
This is less about Trump and more about getting Republicans to have to bend over backwards to defend an obvious crook, which will, the Dems hope, prove politically damaging for the GOP with swing voters, next year and beyond.Haven't really been following this so just one quick question: what's the point of impeaching him when the senate are going to acquit him? Does it just weaken him/them politically?
It always reminds me of a wrestling crowd. Are there studies about his support among wrestling fans?Everytime I see a video of a Trump rally I like to play count the non whites, I counted two, the two females behind him.
If I'm american at best I'd not vote.This is less about Trump and more about getting Republicans to have to bend over backwards to defend an obvious crook, which will, the Dems hope, prove politically damaging for the GOP with swing voters, next year and beyond.
Whether it works or not, remains to be seen.
Someone’s going to lead it, and if you were American and didn’t vote you don’t have any right to complain about who does.If I'm american at best I'd not vote.
If i indeed vote it's due to trump being too much to take. You tell me this spineless democrats knew how to lead a nation?
Because it’s the right thing to do, regardless of the fact that the corrupt GOP will kick it out of the Senate.
The Democrats are a bunch of feckless wankers but there are countless examples of impeachment worthy offences from Trump that shouldn’t just be ignored.
It’ll also go down against his name in history forever which will be killing the giant fecking baby.
You just know he'll eventually spin it to make it a good thing he was impeachedAlso it’s a humiliation for him, and you can see just how furious it makes him from his frothing rants.
Yeh, I suppose from a historical point of view it is of some value...if you are impeached nobody is gonna think you are innocent other than your staunch supporters.Because it’s the right thing to do, regardless of the fact that the corrupt GOP will kick it out of the Senate.

I'd rather not implicated in the current mumbo jumbo.Someone’s going to lead it, and if you were American and didn’t vote you don’t have any right to complain about who does.
Hundreds of years from now the only thing we will remember about Trump will be that he was one of a handful who were ever impeached. It will be a stain on his name in every history book going forward.History will be written by the winner. If Trump gets reelected then the impeachment will be seen as folly, if he loses to the Dem candidate it will be lauded as a shrewd political operation, even if it didn't significantly impact the result.

There is also more than enough evidence on record of his brazen corruption which Republican's have stopped bothering to deny and are now attacking the process by which he is held accountable.Hundreds of years from now the only thing we will remember about Trump will be that he was one of a handful who were ever impeached.

It's entirely possible that once the senate cashes him a get out of jail free card he'll feel untouchable and commit even more and even worse impeachable offences.If this is thrown out in the senate, can Congress keep voting to impeach him for other things he's done wrong?
Even if he's never going to be kicked out of office, it would feel better to see him finish his presidency with 15-20 counts of impeachment against his name.
As things stand the Democrats have changed tact. They're no longer sending it straight to the Senate for it to be dismissed by McConnell and Graham in a sham trial and Trump "TOTALLY EXONERATED" straight away.If this is thrown out in the senate, can Congress keep voting to impeach him for other things he's done wrong?

Get fecked. Wrestling fans are pretty liberal these days.It always reminds me of a wrestling crowd. Are there studies about his support among wrestling fans?
It’s only 20 years since Clinton was impeached and nobody gives a shit about it.Hundreds of years from now the only thing we will remember about Trump will be that he was one of a handful who were ever impeached. It will be a stain on his name in every history book going forward.
It was horrible but as a huge fan of comedy, I thought he delivered it really well.What he said about John Dingell at his rally yesterday ,even had his supporters groaning .
I suspect you've enjoyed his entire Presidency so far then.It was horrible but as a huge fan of comedy, I thought he delivered it really well.
And most people think the other one is Nixon.It’s only 20 years since Clinton was impeached and nobody gives a shit about it.
They're just gonna use it as fuel to "prove Trump being victimized". Although this was the correct thing to do, I fear and predict this will contribute to stronger republican voter turn out. Those who thought he deserved to be impeached still think that but the Trump voters are now thinking "dirty dems using their tactics. We wont let this happen again".Because it’s the right thing to do, regardless of the fact that the corrupt GOP will kick it out of the Senate.

Unfortunately no, I really think he stumbled into that last joke by accident, most of them are just horrible attacks with no punchline. I really can't believe where the Dems are, he might just get another term out of this.I suspect you've enjoyed his entire Presidency so far then.
I don't think this should be a conversation.History will be written by the winner. If Trump gets reelected then the impeachment will be seen as folly, if he loses to the Dem candidate it will be lauded as a shrewd political operation, even if it didn't significantly impact the result.
He's a vulgar bastard. I couldn't believe it. Think it's one of the lowest things he's said.What he said about John Dingell at his rally yesterday ,even had his supporters groaning .
There’s more chance of United winning the league this season.Is it utterly unthinkable that he may end up stabbed in the back here? Was thinking about it earlier today: a handful of Republicans can - effectively - get rid of the fecker for good. Has to be pretty tempting, you'd think, for those who were never too keen on Trump in the first place - and that's a fair few, after all.
So you think its acceptable for Trump to abuse the power of his office for personal and political gain?Unfortunately no, I really think he stumbled into that last joke by accident, most of them are just horrible attacks with no punchline. I really can't believe where the Dems are, he might just get another term out of this.
