    Well, it sounds like you and your neighborhood drinking buddy have figured it all out. How is Monday night at the local bar, anyway? Don't you work in the morning?

    Let's remind ourselves that impeachment is a political process. The Congress can impeach for any reason they agree on, for example lying about an extra marital affair!!! ("I did not have sex with that women.") I.e., the President serves at Congress's will. We are not privy to all the findings of the Mueller investigation at this point. The Congress will eventually be , however! We should all hope that any impeachment proceedings are brought on substantive matters. Past actions of Congress don't give us much to pin our hopes on however.

    We had some assistance from the beer. I'm happily retired! I do still work, but only on what I want to. It's a nice life. You'll get there soon enough, if you invest wisely.

  5. Piezo following the lefty script here which seeks to remind people that although the legislative branch has a sacred duty to follow the spirit of the Constitution that if you want to act as a political hack and use it just to reverse the outcome of the last election, you can get away with it if you have enough votes.

    Don't get your hopes up, snowflake.

    Even if Trump is impeached by the House -- and that's a big if -- the Constitution requires 2/3 of the Senate to remove him from office.

    The probability of that happening is precisely:

  7. I would say there is a 95% chance of getting a 100% of the Senate to vote for impeachment if the Democrats agreed to add an extra 250 billion to defense spending. The Republicans would have Trump out of their hair and would then have Pence as President.

  9. In regards to this job stealer and rapist proof wall, are you referring to keeping Trump out of this country or in? Hilary would like to know.
