Now you make sense ......

You should never say something that stupid, let alone repeat it.

Clearly, you know nothing about U.S politics. Don't feel badly. You don't live here. There are many on this board that do live here, and are similarly clueless.So, Donald Trump is the 3rd President in US history to face being impeached. I have been watching him ever since he was elected (from Australia) and I think he is one of the best Presidents America has ever had; he's tough, he's a fighter and he gets things done. I wish we had a Head of State like him.
I am not sure what will happen next in the impeachment drama. Nancy Pelosi can not withhold the Article of Impeachment from the Senate for too long. I figure that the longer she withholds them, the more political damage she is liable to suffer. Ideally, on a personal note, when the impeachment process eventually goes to trial in the Senate, I would love see Trump have: Joe Biden; Hunter Biden; Adam Schiff and a few other bad eggs called as witnesses !! That would be sweet !!

That's good advice Nordberg, make sure you bear it in mind before sending your next post.
BTW, what have you got to say - just out of interest - about "Nervous Nancy" (Pelosi) witholding the two Articles of Impeachment from the Senate. It seems to me that her actions constitute (1) Abuse of Power and (2) Obstructruction of Justice; which is a little ironic, isn't it, given that this is precisely what President Trump was impeached for ? RIGHT, Nordberg ? Legal experts in matters Constitutional have recently advised us there is an implicit logic in the wording of the Constitution such that if ever the House ratifies Articles of Impeachment against a sitting President, those Articles should then be sent IMMEDIATELY to the Senate for trial.
What is Pelosi playing at? What does she have to gain by not passing the Articles of Impeachment to the Senate for trial. If she thinks she's going to have any luck telling Mitch and other Senate leaders how they should be doing their business, she's dreaming. The HOUSE (Pelosi) does not tell the SENATE how it should conduct its affairs. The SENATE has it own rules and regulations and procedures and, if Nancy Pelosi thinks she can start throwing her weight around, trying to change those rules, regulations and procedures to suit her own partisan, political agenda, she soon discover that she's woefully mistaken.
Nancy Pelosi is a clown and the "DO NOTHING" House Democrats are a laughable, socialist circus. This latest political stunt (refusing to pass the Articles of Impeachment to the Senate for trial) is A- Grade stupidity that has already backfired. Its just the latest goof-up in a series of major Democrat cluster-fucks that began in 2016. The Mueller probe, the "Russia - Collusion" hoax, "The Schiff Show", don't you think that the American people have had a gut-full of watching this toxic , political game-playing by the Democrats ? I do.
I think the Democrats chances of defeating Trump in the November 2020 election are ZERO; in fact, I predict that the Democrats are going to get their collective butts kicked BIG TIME by the American public on election day, in what will be an historic landslide victory for Trump and the Republican Party. RIGHT, Nordberg ? (!!)

I may live in Australia, but I still know enough about US politics to tell things like: Adam Schiff is corrupt and a pathological liar; Hillary Clinton is a career criminal should be in jail; Joe Biden is corrupt and an idiot; the base of the Democrat party has lurched to the crazy social Left and is therefore un-electable

So, basically, I may live in Australia, but I can still see and hear a lot of your American political news. I finding extremely interesting and I watch it very carefully, because Australia is (for a number of reasons) pretty much a "satellite state" of the US today. In the 1960s, we were like a large country of England half a world away from British soil, but in the 2000's and 2010 we are now much more like an state of America. (e.g All the young people here (18- 25+) speak with an East-Coast type American accent and use American slang like: "Dude"; "Lit"; "WTF"; "Chill; "Ether"; "Trashed"; "Bail", etc.).
I think you need help. Trumpy gave her that Nervous Nancy moniker because he is the world's oldest teenager. That is really really silly and repeating that, makes you look as immature as Trump is. He makes up these silly names like a kid. He even relies on alliteration which with his 5th grade vocabulary, leaves him with few naming options. She is as strong and cool as a person can be.
I think her holding the impeachment until she gets McConnel to do his job honestly was brilliant. I did not know she had that option. Now she put that arrogant Moscow Mitch on his heels. Trump wants the trial to go extremely fast. Moscow was going to do that. Now they have something new to consider.
You are a believer. that puts you outside of data and knowledge. There are over 50 percent of voters who say they absolutely will not vote for that crook. Trump has his 35 percent on lock. Can you figure out which number is bigger?
If the Dems settle on a solid candidate, Trump will get creamed. He is a damn crook. He cheated hundreds of people with his phony Trump Univ. and paid 25 million to cover it up. Those people were also fooled by Trump. so you are not alone. Trump also paid 2 million to atone for his robbing the Trump foundation. He is not allowed to go near a charity again. This is what you think is presidential.
Television mouths talking about calling Joe and/or Hunter Biden as witnesses in President Trump’s impeachment trial is the sweetest piece of media misdirection I have seen in a long time. In addition to media mouths the liars in both parties are going nuts trying to figure out a way to keep Hillary Clinton from testifying. Remember that Hillary Clinton started the whole thing more than three years ago when she ordered and paid for the Steele Dossier.
I am betting that Diarrhea Mouth Pelosi and Pencil Neck Schiff never realized they were putting Hillary in jeopardy when they were executing their ill-conceived “Impeach Trump” scheme. As it stands now, Pencil Neck has become a bit player in a comedy, while Pelosi has a tiger by the tail of her own making that she dare not let go.
NOTE: Pelosi is refusing to send the Articles of Impeachment to the Senate. The imperial speaker of the house decided that dictating which witnesses the Senate can call is her best course of action. Pelosi coordinated her next move with Senator Vomit Schumer. Together, they demanded a fair trial. Schumer is going along because he thinks he sounds intelligent on television regardless of what he is saying, while Pelosi’s stratagem is twofold:
1. Salvage her overrated reputation as a brilliant politician.
2. Clean up the mess she made when she put Hillary Clinton in the hot seat.
Pelosi’s blunder got lucky. Lying senators from both parties have no qualms about calling a former vice president and a former secretary of state as witnesses, while the Senate will never shit on its own front steps by putting two former senators under oath in a public trial.
Parenthetically, I was right when I said:
p.s. President Trump is foolishly calling for a Senate trial. If I had Trump’s ear I would tell him “Joan of Arc had a better chance of acquittal in a rigged trial than you.”

I am wrong if Trump gets his witnesses in a Senate trial. Best of all, there is no way Hillary Clinton testifying under oath can backfire.
The US House of Representatives has impeached President Donald Trump, setting the stage for the third-ever Senate impeachment trial.
Here's what you need to know about that.
Why is there a trial?
A trial in the Senate will follow the vote to impeach the president in the House, as decreed in the Constitution.
The House's articles of impeachment level two accusations against the president: that he solicited a foreign country to help him politically and that he obstructed Congress. The Republican president has denied any wrongdoing, calling the inquiry a "witch hunt".
Mr Trump is accused of withholding millions in military aid to Ukraine and a White House meeting with Ukraine's president as bargaining chips to push Ukraine into investigating his Democratic rival Joe Biden. Democrats say this amounts to an abuse of presidential power.
As the White House refused to allow staff to testify during impeachment hearings in the House, Democrats have also accused Mr Trump of obstructing Congress.
What's involved?
The Constitution is admittedly vague when it comes to impeachment - simply mandating that the House has the "sole power of impeachment", acting as grand jury and bringing charges. The Senate is given "the sole power to try all impeachments" and convict a president of "treason, bribery or other high crimes and misdemeanours".
There are general rules largely based on President Andrew Johnson's trial, but ultimately, Republican leader [Two Senators] Mitch McConnell and his Democratic counterpart Chuck Schumer will have to determine the guidelines for evidence, witnesses, duration and arguments.
While Mr McConnell has the final say over the format as the Republican Senate leader, he could find his options limited if Democrats pressure moderate Republicans to vote with them on any changes to the rules. At any point, senators can call for votes on trial procedures that would need a simple majority to pass.
After lawmakers hear from both sides - House prosecutors and White House counsel - and any witnesses, they will be given a full day to deliberate before a vote on conviction is held.
A two-thirds majority is required to convict and oust Mr Trump. Given that Republicans control the 100-seat chamber with a 53-47 majority, the president is widely expected to be acquitted.
Who's who?
Consider da judge if you are looking for a laugh. Hillary Clinton has another ally in:
Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts will preside over the trial in the Senate, but the senators ultimately will act as both judge and jury.
Justice Roberts is there to make sure the trial adheres to the predetermined rules, but if any vote during the trial ends in a tie, he has the final say.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi will also select a group of Democrats to act as impeachment managers - essentially prosecutors for the House. These lawmakers will present the lower chamber's case for impeachment to the Senate.
Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff and Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler would be the most traditional choices, US media report, though it is unclear who else might make the cut.
During Bill Clinton's impeachment trial, Republicans had 13 such managers; staunch Trump ally Lindsey Graham was one.
Mr McConnell, the majority leader, will ultimately have sway over the format and guidelines of the trial.
He sparked condemnation from Democrats over recent comments to Fox News, saying: "Everything I do during this, I'm coordinating with the White House counsel.
There will be no difference between the president's position and our position as to how to handle this to the extent that we can."
Will senators get to ask questions?
Senators can ask questions of witnesses or counsellors, but only by submitting them in writing to Justice Roberts.
Witnesses may not necessarily appear on the Senate floor. They can be interviewed by a committee of lawmakers with footage of the testimony aired during the trial instead.
Democrats want several senior White House officials to testify, including acting Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney and ex-adviser John Bolton.
But there may not be any witnesses at all if Republicans decide they would rather keep the trial short, despite Mr Trump's calls for the Bidens and the whistleblower who sparked the Ukraine inquiry to appear.
Speaking on the senate floor on Tuesday, Mr McConnell suggested as much, saying the senate's duty is to "act as judge and jury to hear a trial, not to rerun the entire fact-finding investigation".
"We do not need jurors to start brainstorming witness lists for the prosecution," he added.
Mr Clinton's trial had no live witnesses.
Will Trump give evidence?
While the president could choose to appear before the Senate himself, it is much more likely he will have White House lawyer Pat Cipollone speak on his behalf.
Mr Cipollone, like the impeachment managers, will be able to question witnesses and deliver opening and closing statements.
US media report Mr Trump may also bring some House conservatives onto his defence team, like Ohio congressman Jim Jordan or John Ratcliffe of Texas.
Will Biden or his son have to testify?
That will depend on what Mr McConnell chooses for the trial format. US media report Republicans are still debating if it is worth it to summon the Democratic former vice-president and his son as the president wants.
Mr Biden has dismissed calls for his testimony, telling NPR it is an attempt by the president to "divert attention" from the accusations against him.
"This is a Trump gambit he plays," Mr Biden said. "I will not yield to what everybody is looking for here. And that is to take the eye off the ball."
How long might this all take?
After the House presents the articles of impeachment to the Senate, they must consider them in session every day, except Sunday, until the final decision.
Mr Schumer has offered a tentative schedule for the trial, which would be the first order of business in the new year. In total, he has suggested some 126 hours of proceedings.
18 December - House votes on articles of impeachment
6 January - Start of Senate trial, guidelines and other housekeeping measures finalised
7 January - Swearing in of senators as jurors and Chief Justice Roberts
9 January - House prosecutors and White House counsel each have 24 hours to present arguments
The trial is likely to take weeks but how many is anybody's guess. Democrats will hope it is all done by the time the 2020 primary elections begin in February.
Trump impeachment: What you need to know about the Senate trial
19 December 2019

I think that Trump is opening a new Trump University and he will be more than happy to rip off your life savings or have you bang out your credit cards because you don't have to be an American to sign up for his bogus classes. Also, bring along any women you know or are related to because Australian p***y is just as easy to grab as American p***y is to grab.

Trump impeachment: What you need to know about the Senate trial
19 December 2019
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-50813696
I stopped here. Save your keypad next time. Do you only get Fox News in Australia?I may live in Australia, but I still know enough about US politics to tell things like:
Do you understand what a trajectory is? Obama left Trump a growing and building economy. It has not deviated from that slope. He has done nothing at all. His tax cut, according to economists, did nothing. They did increase the wealth gap since it almost all went to the top 1 percent. Trump is also a childish person who makes up names like a teen for other politicians. He is essentially a disgusting and greedy person who uses the worst and foulest language of any president. He loves dictators and wishes he could be one. He has a 5th-grade vocabulary and lacks maturity. He is a terrible embarrassment.
As far as you are concerned? You don't know that Obma came is facing a potential second great depression with the US shedding jobs like crazy. We lost 800,000 in one month. Homes were being lost, banks were closing and companies shutting down. Obama fixed the economy and Trump has been enjoying the ride.
Hillary Clinton has testified under oath over a dozen times...and the last thing in the world she needs is protection from having to testify.
To Dachshynddawg: Way back in the ‘60s I went to Sydney several times, and spent a little time in Adelaide. I loved your country and the people so much I made plans to emigrate. My plans did not work out for personal reasons.
Incidentally, of all the seaports I sailed to, Australia and New Zealand were the only countries that would make me leave the U.S. I have not been down your way in all those many years. So I do not know what Australia is politically today, but I sure as hell do not like what Socialist parasites did to this country.
p.s. You might be familiar with The Fountainhead, but this clip is worth repeating. Howard Roark won the case in the movie. In real life Democrat parasites are winning:
To Frank Apisa: Diarrhea Mouth is stalling until she knows what John Durham’s report says. Regardless of what Durham’s Report says President Trump can call Clinton to testify about the Steele Dossier in a Senate Trial and to hell with Pelosi & Company. That assumes McConnell does not pull a Trent Lott:
It was Trent Lott that made Hillary Clinton possible. Had the public known the full truth about Bill & Hillary in 2000 it is highly unlikely Hillary would have become a U.S. Senator, and eventually secretary of state.
https://www.justplainpolitics.com/s...-Is-Still-A-Lot-Of-Crap&p=3398549#post3398549
NOTE: Lott has been popping up on television spreading the same garbage he spread around in 1999 to prevent the public from learning just how degenerate Bill Clinton was. Basically, Lott was protecting Clinton not the Senate’s “majesty.” Anybody that believes anything Lott says today might as well believe everything a Clinton says.
Bottom line: Pelosi is dictating which witnesses can testify. Preventing Hillary from testifying under oath is her last line of protection. Even if Pelosi cowers the Senate her protection cannot stop a criminal trial if Hillary cops a Fifth. Catching Hillary lying under oath will add one more charge to her list of crimes.
Once again, it all depends upon Mitch McConnell.
I stopped here. Save your keypad next time. Do you only get Fox News in Australia?
Clearly, you don't know that trump is a gross failure of a businessman who was mocked by real billionaires. He's a thief who never paid his bills. He ran a fake charity for years, robbing it for his own benefit.
Nothing has changed now that he's in office. In fact, he never planned on winning in '16. It was a publicity stunt gone awry, meant to give him martyr status so he could start trump T.V and complain about how the election was rigged.
Ironically, it was rigged, but unfortunately for him he won. Now he's exposed, and his brand is in the toilet.
Mate.
I linked an article that reminded us that many corporations publicly stated that they didn't need the cash that a tax cut would bring them. They would use the extra cash to pay dividends to investors, and not for job creation. That's exactly what happened, and now trump boasts of a great market.
What a surprise.
