Reality check: Impeachment is polling at only 45% in favor (down from 50% in November). I have no idea what a growing majority of Americans are seeing that I'm not, but somehow, the only number that matters to anyone in Congress is working in Trump's favor. That does not indicate that the Republicans are losing ground. Apparently, most Americans can't get enough lies and corruption, and they're ready for 4 more years. Hell; Sol Duc's ready to put a crown on Trump's head!
Regardless of whether voters choose to punish the Democrats next election (history suggests they will), I believe the Democrats did right by their oath to the Constitution by impeaching Trump. Meanwhile, Moscow Mitch McConnell and Lindsay Graham are very openly indicating they have ZERO intention of being objective, which clearly violates that same oath (not suggesting the Dems wouldn't do the same thing with the shoe on the other foot). It's just one more example of the hypocrisy that is virtually inherent in our political system. Anymore, principles are completely absent from the equation, and little details like laws, norms, and oaths to the Constitution only apply to the minority party.

Since when has this country truly ever run on morals and principles? I never said it was. What I said is that the threads (thin, though they may have been) of morality and principle that once steered even our politicians to compromise on issues that matter are now completely broken.

Fat Nixon really would do the world a favor if he just hurried up and had the stroke that is clearly in his future... no time like the present!
Side note...if Trumplethinskin had a massive stroke, but survived it, and they sat him in the corner and let him write speeches and rage tweet, do you think we would even notice the difference? I don't know the answer, but I think it's fun to consider that we probably wouldn't.
Fish on...

Well, Trump may have a real problem now. Seems Christians have decided Gorsuch and Kavanaugh were all they needed from Trump, and they're ready to throw him under the bus. Christianity Today (Billy Graham's outfit) published an editorial saying he should be removed from office. That's a significant portion of his base. The “those are fake Christians” tweet should be appearing any minute now. SF

It never made sense for them to support a pornstar [Bleeeeep!] adulterer anyway.

He's still not impeached... He IS impeached. The House of Representatives has spoken. The Senate will very likeky acquit him, but he will forever carry the distinction of having been impeached.

It all boils down to this - I'm right, everyone else is wrong, and anyone who disputes this is clearly a dumbfuck.

In laymen terms, the House investigates, finds evidence and passes articles of impeachment when sufficient evidence is found. The House (think Police) "charges" the suspect. The articles or "evidence" are then sent to the Senate (think Judge) for review. If sufficient evidence is found, the Senate then holds the "trial" for conviction (or not) of said suspect.
In Trump's particular case, here's the essence: The House (police) believes they've found sufficient evidence to impeach Trump and send him to trial. The Senate (Judge) has reviewed the evidence and have told the "Police" to go fvck themselves. The end.
This is all a circus and nothing is going to change. There will be no trial in the Senate. Trump was still the president this morning when we all woke up. He'll still be president tomorrow and throughout the rest of his first term. As it looks right now, he is going to get a second and the Dems may possibly lose the house. Meaning he'll have a super majority. Congratulations Dems?
In the end, all the Dems will ever have to show for this is Trump's 'credibility, legitimacy and reputation' + possibly losing the House. Meaning over the next 5 years, all they'll be able to do is scream "illegitimate!" at everything he does.
That's all that's going to happen here. Again meaning, nothing is going to change. Those are the apples. How do you like em'?

Well then yes - agree. Because that's not how it works.
I'm dying laughing from all of the bookface type retards in the past 24 hours that think Trump has to like, rent a U-haul and start packing and chit. GTFOH. Really? OK....
It's sad really. An indictment on our educational system.
