It's all finally starting to unravel.
JP
Its great entertainment for sure
What gets me tho its far from the worst thing he has done or the most corrupt.
Sondlands testimony was utterly damning
Just reading Fire And Fury - if there's any truth to it, it's utterly mental.
Normal day at work for the President.
He will remain as the US President because all the oppositions are lame.
The only authority that can fire him is the voters.
I like the irony of the fact that Trump/the white House have repeatedly blocked people from testifying, and refused to hand over documents, even non classified, during the whole investigation.
Obstruction of congressionally sanctioned (and required) investigations is itself an impeachable act.
Therefore they have created grounds for a valid impeachment even if the original act being investigated isn't.

And official White House channels have been used to attack the democrats for not having as witnesses, people that the White House have blocked from standing as witnesses.
Sky news - impeachment hearing live - this just seems to be a chorus of damning evidence now. Wow.

Go for it as it is all about whoever got the guts wins innit.
From day one the opposition has been attacking so what is new?

I really doubt they can remove President Trump.
He’s done. No one can be seen to be working with him or his administration now.
He’s done.
People have been saying that for 4 years now. I still wouldn't be surprised if he survives and goes on to win a 2nd term.

But, on the bright side, he may not actually survive 'phase 2' of his 'unscheduled medical' when it hits. Looked a bit weak and wobbly getting off Air Force One this week, even using the shorter and less steep set of steps.
Any bets on what he needed doing so urgently in hospital a few days back?

Democrats will remain the opposition for many years to come as long as they carry on with their charade. They harder they try the better it is for them to remain in the wild.
I'm surprised it's taken this long, tbh
Romney is meeting him in the Whitehouse shortly, I'm guessing he has some names of republican senators who've said they'll vote to impeach...
Unfortunately for Trumpy no one is above the law.
The Twitter tantrum is going to be epic
Unfortunately for Trumpy no one is above the law.
Get President Trump if they can but judging from all the charade Democrats are just digging the hole deeper for themselves. As I said before from day one Democrats have been at it ...
whats funny is even after impeachment/resignation
all these investigations into his dodgy business practices, fraud etc will keep on !

Yes, but the difference being was that before he was dodgy and now he is widely viewed as a criminal.

They can throw a sink at President Trump if they wish but I doubt they have the mileage ...
Democrats will Not win the next US Presidential election because there are just more people who hate Democrats than they hate President Trump.

Most supporters do not care so long as President Trump delivers what they want.
And if he isn’t impeached because of your latter point Chewy, which you are right to make, that will be the beginning of the end for American democracy and the rule of law.

American democracy/law will always be alive as usual.
Don't the opposition know how to sit through the change? Presidential power is Not for life you know so what is the hurry? Silly democrats just being foolish. My view is that they are a sore loser and cannot get the fact that they did not win, after the Obama ride.
All political parties come and go so just sit through it rather than stirring up some silly problems ...
A lot of American political pundits disagree with you there Chewy, this isn’t situation normal or something that can be allowed to pass. The US used to have a better track record of bipartisanship, not so much now - that’s what made their foreign policy so stable over many decades. They need to come together now to remove Trump.

Who is the US you are referring to? The political opponents? If so, there is nothing new as all of them are up to no good themselves. They will attempt to "pull the pillars from the house" and everyone can see that ...
The only person that can fire the President is the voters and this will be legitimate. Any other ways will only anger the people.
I think you've missed the point chewy
The voters have already turned on him, those wavering trump voters deserted him at the midterms, the house of reps is the democrats now, which is why this impeachment is happening
Honestly, killfile. You'll be drawn into a mire of non-sequitur before you know it.
Well, this made me laugh...

The unfortunate part of that is that so far, he hasn't, but they just choose not to see that
I would say there is a small group of people for whom Trump is delivering exactly what they want, although they are all billionaires/racist/russians.

The masterstroke was in convincing enough of the disaffected, poorly educated and downwardly mobile that the interests of the billionaires and those seeking to undermine democracy align with those angry at their loss of status. This is exactly why some Republicans are blaming Ukraine for Russian hacking and why "but the Democrats..." has become the standard response to every criticism.
We're seeing it here too.
Trump now saying he wants to be impeached and go to trial! He really is detached from reality
Confirmation, not that it was needed, that his entire presidency is simply a vanity project for him.

Raging because they wouldn't hang his picture in the embassy.

Irrelevant until the proper presidential election.

I think he is deliberately winding them up. He likes to do that to the oppositions big time. 😆
For anyone thinking that the above is a spoof. It isn’t. The PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, has had HIS OWN HEAD photoshopped onto the topless body of ROCKY BALBOA. Then uploaded it to the internet, for the whole world to see.
Speechless.
He's a ****ing lunatic.
Is this one of those “there's no such thing as bad publicity” things?
That tells you all you need to know about the orange Buffoon.
Dangerous (not as a boxer), deluded; poisonous, pretentious prick; odious oaf; total **** and tosser; coiffed c***;
He’s obviously trying to get the attention of his bareback riding Russian boyfriend
Vanity is its own reward I guess?
What worries me is what will come next?
Johnson’s head on Big Daddy’s body?
Farage’s mug atop Connor McGregors torso?
*shudders*
Aparantley tweeted as it's some anniversary of Rocky 4.
Wasn't that the one where Rocky the American beat Drago the Russian? As opposed to Trump who got in bed with Russia as they have dirt on him (or pee)
Twitter's picked up on this pic here as the actual shape Trump is in. But seriously, what shape is that? A melty triangle?
Still, now in the middle of the impeachment hearings, hundreds of thousands of people are just talking about this stupid picture, and trump fans everywhere are looking at teh responses and saying "durn librals, disrespectin the president"
soma^^^ that's a thought I want to erase from my mind - Vlad riding the orange buffoon bareback.
Northwind^^^ - ha!
Don't knock the prick. If it wasn't for him being British currently would be even more humiliating. At least at there are 200 million people across the pond who have collectively set the bar so low that we get to still feel at least a tiny bit a self respect. What must it feel like to be american with a brain at the moment.
But seriously, what shape is that? A melty triangle?
Is his trousers on inside out?
convert^^^ one of my sons lives in the US; he has a brain as does his US born wife - there is complete bafflement over there about UK politics.
They think we have completely lost the plot.
All depends on your perspective.
They think we have completely lost the plot.
Oh we have. But at least we did not voluntarily elect that ^.
60 million people voted for that.
At least until 12th Dec we can hold our heads up high and say we didn't vote for our blond buffoon.
Whenever he makes an ass of himself in the media, something else of greater actual importance is being eroded or dismantled in the background. It's never accidental.
I remember when we had real scandals to focus our attention on.

there are apparently 8 Republican senators who are not standing for another term. that 8 who could easily vote against Trump
Its very noticeable how senior republicans are in hiding right now. Once they decide Trump has to go we will see a deluge of republicans coming out against Trump
Its already clear that Trump is becoming and electoral liability. Once its even more obvious then he will be toast ( I hope)
Heard an interesting perspective on that this evening. Come the time when Impeachment comes before the senate its a public vote - as in the way each senator votes is made public. So republican senators voting to impeach a republican president are potentially damaging their own careers and undermining their party.
Nixon was facing pretty much the same list of charges as Trump (currently is although Trump seems to be keen to keep adding new ones) and was allowed to jump rather than be pushed pretty much to avoid that situation and try and limit damage to the party. The difference is Trump doesn't really much care for the Republican Party (until a few years before his own campaign he primarily funded Democrat campaigns) and he even seemed to run for the presidential nomination to spite the Republican Party under the threat that he'd run as an independent and split the vote if they didn't nominate him. His ego would be just as much served by surviving impeachment as it would to wreck the party as he goes down.
It would be a different matter if the senate vote was private.
What did I just see? I’ve never been so confused by what is parody/editing and what is real 🤣🤪. Laughed too much, was expecting Nurse to intervene
OK betternow. Here’s the whole thing. Oh what? No. Just watch it...
Vic Berger is some kind of stable
Poor Jon Voight. When your cognition has declined to the degree that you consider Trump to be the greatest President since Lincoln, someone in your family should intervene to protect you from exploitation.
someone in your family should intervene to protect you from exploitation.
The chances of that happening are vanishingly small.
Looks like one person is looking forward to seeing Trump soon...

Princess Anne now the nations favourite royal
https://twitter.com/ladyhaja/status/1202144429261426688
& Trump has now flounced out of the NATO press conference coz Trudeau was taking the piss on mic
https://twitter.com/girlsreallyrule/status/1202192329316196352
Can't we just skip a few deadbeats and have Princess Anne succeed the Queen?
The Queen chastising Princess Anne for not greeting Trump and Anne not giving a single shit is the mood we all need to take into today
Can’t we just skip a few deadbeats and have Princess Anne succeed the Queen?
No argument from me. My ex-sister-in-law was very into horses, and one of her besties worked at Gatcombe Park, and Anne was often around when Phil was visiting her friend.
On one occasion there was a problem with a blocked drain in the stable yard, which coincided with a bunch of rather ‘okay,yah’ types being shown around.
With a wink to Phil and her friend, Anne pushed her sleeve up, got down on her knees and shoved her arm down the drain, scooping all the accumulated literal crap out of the drain. There was a rather stunned silence, on seeing the Princess Royal up to her armpit in liquid horseshit.
Anne has a long-standing reputation for showing little tolerance for bullshit, and dTrump is the walking epitome of everything she despises.
To top it all, dTrump has said that he doesn’t know Prince Andrew, which is a blatant, provable lie! He was even invited to, and attended, a private lunch with Andrew earlier this year!

Who is the 'Pochohantas' he is referring to?
Elizabeth Warren, Democratic candidate currently in the running for next election. She has claimed to have Native American descendants and so Trump refers to her as Pocahontas, classy as ever.
it's amazing that the UK's chief rabbi wants to be on the same "side" as this !
FFS, that is surely as bad as describing a black candidate as 'kunta Kinte' or other such name.
HTF is he still in office?
Elizabeth Warren, Democratic candidate currently in the running for next election. She has
claimed to have Native American descendants,falsely claimed to be Native American, and falsely identified herself as Cherokee and so Trump refers to her as Pocahontas, classy as ever.
He's still in office because he can do pretty much whatever he wants secure in the knowledge that the republican controlled senate will not go against him; also he has hollowed out the various gov depts by replacing independent minded professional specialists with fellow travellers.
Corrupt despot.
How so Benv?
I thought her DNA tests came back confirming American Indian ancestry? Granted, I think there was criticism about any claim "heritage" - but I thought her ancestors had been proved? No?
but I thought her ancestors had been proved? No?
Tenuous.
The DNA analysis found that while the vast majority of her ancestry is European, Ms. Warren likely had a Native American ancestor six to 10 generations back. Critics including the president said that showed a tenuous link to Native American lineage.
“I can no longer call her Pocahontas, because she has no Indian blood,” Mr. Trump, who has mocked her with that name, said after the test. “She doesn’t qualify.”
But Trump continuing being a dick isn't tenuous.
And he is impeached, no doubt when it gets to the senate the vote will be different but crikey!
Yeah that's the problem, nothing will come of it in the Senate and it could actually work against the democrats come the November election as it feeds into Trump's evil democrats/I'm one of you narrative the delusional working class in the red states gobble up. Not too dissimilar to the Marxist Labour/man of the people bullshit BoJo swept to victory on.
Yeah that’s the problem, nothing will come of it in the Senate
Here's one for evangelical republicans to ponder over their All Bran. Maybe Trump is the Beast foretold in Revelations and will be expelled after a three and a half year term?
Revelations 13:5 And he was given a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies, and he was given authority to continue for forty-two months.
🙂
That would mean that the End of the World/Last Judgement is coming, sadly, so would require some urgent repentance..
I see he has been at the photoshop again, this time to graft on some manly sized hands, click on pic for full size image
https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1207508280207011841?s=20
He has clearly obstructed Congress
All the evidence seems to show he's abused his office for personal gain.
Struggling to see how he would be found not guilty of either without Republican Senators making it clear that they don't care about integrity and honesty
He did say "I could shoot someone in the middle of 5th Avenue and not lose votes". Weird how someone so thick can see the world far more clearly than the rest of us over-educated buffoons. A genuine idiot-savant.
We know exactly how this will play out. A truly nihilistic experience. I'm actually, horrifyingly, impressed.
I've just been listening to the 'talking politics' podcast with US author Michael Lewis doing a deep dive on trump and I can't recommend it enough.
It's just astonishing and depressing how much of an inadequate, pathetic, ungracious, pernicious little shit he is. If he gets a second term then the environment is gone.
this time to graft on some manly sized hands,
Is that bearnecessities' middle finger?
Quite interesting seeing Christianity Today- Billy Graham's mob- weigh in against Trump... They;ve always been on the liberal side of the evangelical movement- on account of actually believing in and listening to the word of christ, who wouldn't have stood for this shit- but it's still a big step.
More words of wisdom from the orange buffoon....
'President Trump lashed out again at wind farms on Saturday, claiming that the production of wind turbines causes a large carbon footprint.
During a speech to the conservative student group Turning Point USA, Trump told attendees that he "never understood" the allure of wind power plants, according to a report from Mediaite.
“I never understood wind,” Trump said, according to Mediaite. “I know windmills very much, I have studied it better than anybody. I know it is very expensive. They are made in China and Germany mostly, very few made here, almost none, but they are manufactured, tremendous — if you are into this — tremendous fumes and gases are spewing into the atmosphere. You know we have a world, right?”
“So the world is tiny compared to the universe. So tremendous, tremendous amount of fumes and everything. You talk about the carbon footprint, fumes are spewing into the air, right spewing, whether it is China or Germany, is going into the air,” the president added'.
If you say so Donny.
Donald Quixote tilts at wind turbines
What has he done now? Unreal.
Yes, that’s a fairly serious thing to do.
The consequences will be something hopefully be just observed rather than experienced.
I can't say I'm against them taking direct action against Iran's forces that are trying to destabilise the region, it's the West's, China's and Russia's job to screw around in other countries not Iran's.
WTF...
He really is desperate to get re-elected isn’t he.
****er
