Agreed, but assuming Trump is acquitted, two possible silver linings exist; 1) Democrats & concerned Republicans VOTE in November and he's voted out. Problem solved. 2) He wins re-election, but the Democrats storm the Senate and hold the House; Trump's power will be significantly diminished and this will almost certainly leave Trump no option but to finally work with Democrats. Infrastructure, climate, taxes, and immigration legislation & reform could result. By 2024 the Democrats will finally take back the WH , while also owning the Congress. Mitch will definitely begone by 2026 no matter what. Thus: Democrats need to keep cool and watch the Republicans destroy themselves. The process has already begun.

So much for v2.0's claim that, "no Americans were harmed in the assault by Tehran".

11 U.S. troops evacuated from Iraq base after Trump claimed none 'were harmed'.

Where do his lies end?


Which is the lie?

Update on AP, Pentagon says 34 troops suffered brain injury in Iran strike
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Pentagon disclosed on Friday that 34 U.S. service members suffered traumatic brain injury in Iran’s missile strike this month on an Iraqi air base, and although half have returned to work, the casualty total belies President Donald Trump’s initial claim that no Americans were harmed. He later characterized the injuries as “not very serious.”

Eight of the injured arrived in the United States on Friday from Germany, where they and nine others had been flown days after the Jan. 8 missile strike on Iraq’s Ain al-Asad air base. The nine still in Germany are receiving treatment and evaluation at Landstuhl Regional Medical Center, the largest U.S. military hospital outside the continental United States.

Jonathan Hoffman, the chief Pentagon spokesman, said the eight in the U.S. will be treated at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center at Bethesda, Maryland, or at their home bases. The exact nature of their injuries and their service and unit affiliations were not disclosed.

Interesting sarge

You will pray to god Y
You will pray in this manner
You will pray at X times
You will believe Z tenets
You will have officers L, M, and N in your temple
You will have enforcers to assure you do this
You will not associate with those who don't do as you are told

You decide, but you might need to keep your mouth shut.

There’s a fashion these days for identifying left and right purely with notions of stances on laissez-faire economics. This has emerged out of the ideological battles of the 1980s in which the right came to embrace economic liberalism and is a relatively recent phenomenon.

In reality the history of what has been considered left vs. right wing political thought has been principally to do with stances on social hierarchies. The left, at least notionally, advocates for the end or reduction of social inequalities and hierarchies. The right either believes in their continued existence or denies that social hierarchies exist at all. When the term was first used it came from the French Revolution. Shortly afterwards the revolutionaries sat on the left side of the assembly while monarchists sat on the right.

The thinking has evolved with time. Liberals (in the classical sense) were typically identified with the left at first as they desired equality before the law, they were considered to be more right wing as socialists, who desired a more radical equality of economic outcome, emerged.

Fascism hence came to be seen as far right because fascism at its core is an ideology which advocates hierarchy above all else. Every element of fascist ideology is about hierarchies, whether it be of nations, of leader above their subjects, or of ethnicities. Fascism is often misunderstood as having socialistic economics, this is untrue (for instance, on the Nazis read Adam Tooze’s excellent Wages of Destruction). Mussolini embraced economic liberalism at first and then moved to economic interventionism later. Mussolini himself saw fascism as embracing a combining of state and corporate power. In reality the actual tool didn’t matter so much - there is not a strict fascist economics in the way of communism or capitalism, rather instead fascists used the state or the market in whichever way they saw would best mould the hierarchical, anti-egalitarian world of their dreams. That is why they are described as far-right. To be a fascist is not merely to be against notions of making the world more equal, but to be against the very notion of equality itself. To describe that as socialistic in practice is to misunderstand socialism, which is similarly defined by its goals as one of economic equality above all else.

It is the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, John Roberts, who leads the impeachment process in the Senate.
The Chamber members act as jury and have sworn an oath to be impartial.

Actually saw the impeachment process beginning on TV. Adam Shiff had a very LONG speech...

Why do those that are behind the impeachment not realize that this just what Trump wants. Free advertisement and more sympathisers ,


"Behind"?
Anyway, I support it for the same reason I supported WJC's and the reasons that got us here are far far worse than what took us to WJC's,

The Democrat leadership and their supporter's cannot understand this. They are living in an echo chamber of unreality.

Trump is laughing all the way to his re-election :(

How you enjoying the Senate Trial in the "Star Chamber"?

On the ground, here in South Florida. It appears few care.

Understanding that approximately 135,000,000 people voted in our last Presidential election. Less than 10% of that number, and a much lower percentage of our entire adult population, appear to have watched all or part.

Yep the idiocracy rules.
