One company you won't find on that list at any time. US politics is awash with corporate money. Big companies often make donations to the Republican and Democratic parties in support of their business interests. |

Still spouting his inflammatory B/S. Hurry up day Zero. In the days since the deadly Capitol assault, there has been virtual silence from President Trump. His Twitter account - his preferred mode of communication - was permanently suspended last Friday, and he has not made any public media appearances to address the violence. |

How did we come to this?! This is a dangerously unsettled time for this to be even mentioned let alone directly reminded to all: Joint Chiefs of Staff call Capitol riot 'sedition and insurrection,' remind troops of oath wrote: The Pentagon’s senior military leadership on Tuesday branded the riot Jan. 6 at the Capitol “sedition and insurrection” and admonished troops to heed their charge to protect and defend the Constitution “against all enemies, foreign and domestic.”... There is some very careful wording there... Stay safe folks! Martin See new freedom: Mageia Linux Take a look for yourself: Linux Format The Future is what We all make IT (GPLv3) |

This is a long read, but it does highlight where the U.S. is going wrong. Can we save democracy from the two-party system? Basically it comes down to far too much worship of the $ (in elite hands) and an outlook that has progressed far too far to the right that is spiraling far too much into seeing violence as a solution to its problems. |

Reading several news media sources, I get the feeling that the Senate GOP members lead by Mitch McConnell ,are willing to impeach Trump. Mitch's reasoning includes the thoughts that "He would be "pleased" if Mr Trump was impeached because it would help to "purge" him from the Republican party." and stop Trump running as a Republican in 2024. And where Mitch leads the moderate Republicans will follow. |

Mitch's reasoning includes the thoughts that "He would be "pleased" if Mr Trump was impeached because it would help to "purge" him from the Republican party."Watched his speech at the Senate last week regarding the riot. He stated that he had served the He's part of the problem not the solution. Some time ago on these boards, Guy posted, limit the time that career politicians can serve. He is right. |

With all eyes being on the USA, in particular on the current impeachment proceedings may I take a moment or two to remind people about one of the forums rules. DO NOT post anything that inflammatory. This includes links to videos on sites like YouTube. Yes, I know sometimes they can be quite humorous or be totally innocent. BUT sadly there are occasions when a perfectly innocent video has had its message hijacked in its comments section. So, be very careful when you post such links, and do not be upset if, due to inflammatory comments it is taken down. Further, there are some users that are using "organisational titles" or "political allegiances" in a manner that may be misconstrued or is offensive. Not everyone who holds political views opposing you is an extremist, so, just be careful. If you have a question about such a tile you want to use I'm sure an email to the moderators will get you some guidance.

Stepping back a day or two, this is just incredible: Chaos ERUPTS as GOP refuses to seat winning Democrat in Pennsylvania (interview with PA Lt. Gov.) wrote: INTERVIEW: Brian interviews Pennsylvania Lt. Governor John Fetterman about a Republican effort in PA NOT to seat a Democratic official whose win was certified, and his headline-making announcement about a Senate run in 2022 Those events unfolded at merely a ceremonial meeting! Is this where the losers are now just going to make up any no-rules game they choose for themselves?! Unfortunately, with the massive Fake News propaganda that has been cruelly pushed well beyond the point where too many people can no longer even guess what any truth might be, there is going to be a very large group of people that will feel unhappy and 'cheated' regardless of what any outcome might be. Worse still, there are going to be some very unhappy groups of people that feel themselves to have been criminally duped when the truth does slowly trickle through... These are stirred up delicate times for the USA... Stay safe folks! Martin See new freedom: Mageia Linux Take a look for yourself: Linux Format The Future is what We all make IT (GPLv3) |

Breaking News: Donny has just been impeached for the 2nd time in the House. And for the 1st time ever for TWO Impeachments for a USA President. Quite a record...! So why has Pence refused to use Article 25?... Stay safe folks! Martin See new freedom: Mageia Linux Take a look for yourself: Linux Format The Future is what We all make IT (GPLv3) |

Possibly because he realises that that would lead to a very messy outcome being a sort of "one man band" event, whereas the impeachment by the lower house followed by a trial in the upper house can be viewed is a sort of legal process. All we can do now is hope that the hot heads (on both sides of the US political environment) can keep their cool. The last thing we need are one side in a celebratory dace, while the other are enraged by defeat.

[Pence not invoking Amendment 25] Possibly because he realises that that would lead to a very messy outcome being a sort of "one man band" event... Is there intimidation or at least the threat of intimidation at play?... That's no way to run a country... Stay safe folks!

Seeing many actually explain the 25th, I have to agree with Pence. It's not there for punitive reasons but serious disabling reasons. Impeachment is the better road. |
