Why ascribe malice to the president when incompetence alone explains everything? Remember these three words: Trump is stupid.

I think that Vice may have nailed it 🙁

Apparently Putin is ready to provide tapes/transcripts of Lavrov's converations with the Donald...

Whether this is because they're embarrassing, or not embarrassing, who knows, but I guess it's just to make Russia look straightforward while the White House looks desperate and shifty!

President Trump's political opponents are so incompetent they jump at everything President Trump says.

Oh look President Trump says something impeach him quick ... 😯

Doesn't work that way silly goose coz the population, who have voted for President Trump, will not allow that to happen. 😆

Funny timing chewkw, as the figures actually show that by now majority of the US population is for impeaching him

Uh huh.

Why is Trump less impeachable than [url= https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impeachment_process_against_Richard_Nixon ]Nixon[/url] was?

Popularity?

Nixon took 96.65% of the Electoral College votes and 60.67% of the Popular Vote.
Trump took 56.50% of the Electoral College votes and 45.98% of the Popular Vote.

Yep, if you believe former Tory flounce queen Mensch the case for impeachment is already drawn up.

Now that polls have shown a majority of public favour impeachment and crucially for republicans who control the senate, their own voters are turning against him, it's time to let a grown up have a turn

This is the part that worries me - who would replace Trump? Pence? Yikes!

We have a parallel with Nixon here - I presume one of the hold ups is getting rid of Pence first.

You mean the make up bias fake news? 😆

I suggest the fake news start reporting President Trump at every opportunity that they get. Those fake news should try 100 times harder otherwise they are not earning their keep.

Oh look ... President Trump ... impeach him quick! 😆

In this story and others, there's a pattern of argument that is simplistic, naive and ill-informed, yet dogged and inflexible.

In my mind, that bovine-like attitude will forever be signalled by the emoticon: 😆

Once again, a determined effort to display breathtaking ignorance about how the US political system works.

Question for chewkw: What bike do you own, how often do you ride it? it's just that I don't think you've ever once posted in or responded to any single thread about cycling.

again according to mensch, both ryan & pence are also implicated so Orrin Hatch is being lined up , but thats getting a bit tinfoil

Those silly geese keep turning and spinning their news as if they are the deciders. I mean if those silly geese cannot even overturn simplistic arguments you really have to think hard how silly they have become. It's that silly. It's a bit like dumb and dumber innit. 😆

good article in the ft

https://www.ft.com/content/f2847cb8-3a4e-11e7-821a-6027b8a20f23

If America’s political system were working as it should, Donald Trump would be on his way out. Either Congress would have started impeachment, or people around the president would have declared him unfit for office. But Mr Trump retains an ace up his sleeve. No elected Republican dares cross him. Any who think of standing up to him know they would risk an electronic lynching that could finish their career. Just ask Jeb Bush.

America’s government is at a dangerous impasse. Most people know Mr Trump is unfit to be commander-in-chief. But nobody with the power to redress it has found the courage to act.

The tragedy for America — and the world — is that this is likely to persist at least until next year’s US midterm elections. Even overt signs that Mr Trump is trying to obstruct justice, which was the first article of impeachment against Richard Nixon, are glossed over. Between a quarter and a third of Americans are diehard Trump supporters. They have the power to eject rebel Republicans in primary elections.

It's the chewbot's latest turn of phrase in the hope of it managing to turn out something intelligible. At the current rate of progress it should manage to simulate the conversational ability a doorknob by 7017.

You do? I'd be really interested to hear all about your direct experiences with riding a mountain bike. You're never short of an opinion, I think we'd all value your views on axle standards, the current state of your local trails or indeed whether you actually have any sort of connection with mountain biking aside from only ever posting in the Off Topic section of a UK based mountain biking forum.

So, don't be shy...tell us all about what you ride and where.

Was amusing to see Trump making a speech in front of those Turkish flags as he welcomed President Erdo?an at the Whitehouse, someone who has pushed for a [url= http://www.al-monitor.com/pulse/originals/2016/06/turkey-education-erdogan-devout-generation-plan.html ]"devout generation"[/url] in his supposedly secular nation.

[img] [/img]

I can only imagine what Trump would have been tweeting about Obama in the same instance.

(The [url= https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/864565791076872192 ]speech itself[/url] was terrible. As always.)

Apparently when they get Trump to read reports they're putting his name in as many times as possible to try and hold his interest for longer. The man is an idiot.

Whatever might be happening over there cannot hide the fact that the Trump cabinet is struggling to convey a clear and coherent message. Trump has undermined Conway, Spicer et al out of frustration and he's hung out some career non-partisan White House staffers out to dry, which will come back to bite him sooner or later.

Also, there's a very interesting piece about Kellyanne Conway in the New York Times: [url= https://www.nytimes.com/2017/05/15/business/media/mika-joe-kellyanne-conway.html?_r=0 ]Bleurgh I need a shower[/url]

If I interpret American political commentators correctly, Republican rank and file are quickly becoming frustrated at having to make public excuses for their president and sooner or later, there will be divisions. Trump of course is well aware of this and is trying time-honoured boardroom tactics to keep everyone in line. The Russia thing could well bring the entire Republican party into disrepute and I daresay they'll jettison the president before a scandal mortally wounds the reputation of the GOP.

Might have something to do with this...

According to the stories, Trump stopped athletics after college because he “believed the human body was like a battery, with a finite amount of energy, which exercise only depleted.”

pretty sure the dead ones who were killed by revolutionaries fared a wee bit worse than him or all the assassinated USA ones

he may be assured of this but as usual his confidence is utterly unrelated to his accuracy

the more righteous you are the more opposition you get
how would the self serving **** know that ?Its not like he reads 😉

Trump hates cyclists...

He is entitled to hates who he wants ...
Me mate bought a Brompton for £1.4k few months ago and consider himself a "cyclist" and yet he hates other cyclists. There you go everyone is entitled to their own views ... 😆

akira - Member
Might have something to do with this...
Exercise is me colleague's pet hate so his rationale is that you are going to wear down your body faster ... his parents / grand parents do not really do any exercise and most lived to 100 or near 100 ... It's in the gene. Therefore, if your gene is not meant for excessive exercise you might do more harm to your body than good. Me colleague's explanation ... he got PhD in something something ... 😆
