Trump only knows this since he visits the Devil quite frequently, and already has a nice plot in the ninth circle waiting for him once his tenure down there begins.

I didn’t know political TikTok existed, but now I am most definitely invested in it.

Looks like Pelosi won’t send the articles to the Senate for a while. Trump may very well be under a state of impeachment until and through the election. Though if the Democrats we’re smart, they’d send the articles to the Senate around May, so people could send all summer watching the Republican circus and then vote blue in November.

I don’t care if the Democratic Party lives or dies, I’m recognized as DSA on my voting papers (though I don’t really affiliate when them either). The Senate will absolutely be a partisan vote without proof. The Democrats have done what the people who voted them in 2018 warned them to do, and what the Republicans did to Obama for 6 years of his presidency.

And this wasn't a partisan vote without proof??? Not one republican said yes.  Hell 4 dems said no!! In the past 3 years there was the Mueller hoax.  Proven wrong.   Now this sham without one crime (I thought it was bribery??)   Even their presidential candidate didnt vote yes!!!!     

 

Clinton's impeachment was truly bi partisan since there were yes's from both sides

 

 

Republicans didnt do anything to obama.   There were no disgusting antifa attacks.    No impeachment proceedings.  No attempts to overthrow elections.   We hated him.  But we didnt obstruct.  

 

Btw I would love you to see you tell nolympicsla that you are part of dsa and at the same time support the Olympics.   You'll get more hatred then me

People will remember Trump as a narcissistic asshole though, since he’s always been one. Believe, people still talk about Clinton all the time. Trump is definitely a monster, and I can point to actions that classify him as such.

 

Trump is nothing compared to the likes of Lyndon Johnson who send thousands of Americans to die in Vietnam during a useless war USA was never going to win :dunno:

 

You elected a millionaire businessman to office, what did you expect from Trump? These kind of people are always following their own script. Every single member of the lucky sperm club is narcisstic. You expect to be appluaded for saying the water is wet? :p

1) No. 2) One former Republican, now turned independent because he can only look in horror at what his party has become, did vote yes on both counts. 3) 2 Democrats said NO on the first article. 3 Democrats said NO on the second article (with Gabbard voting “present”). 4) Mueller wasn’t proven wrong, he did say in his report that he saw evidence of worrying actions. 5) Trump did commit two crimes (Obstructing an Investigation, Abuse of Power), and possibly two more (Election Rules Violation, Use of Office For Personal Gain). 6) Gabbard will not be the Democratic Candidate, and to be honest, people respect Marianne Williamson more than her.

That was back when people still put their duty first, and when both halves of the country still believed in fact.

Let’s see. They refused to pass anything Obama brought before them. They shutdown the government multiple times. They made him pass critical legislation as excuetive orders. They were no Antifa attacks, but they were some nice white supremacy rallies where people were killed. There was no impeachment hearings because Obama conducted himself in a respectful manner, and followed the laws of our Constitution. There has still been no attempts to overthrow an election. I personally like him, but I did think he could have down better, but he did what was right most of the time. Republicans prevented more laws than brith control prevented pregnancies.

By that comparison sure, but Trump has done way worse in my opinion.

 

Technically we didn’t elect Trump to office by a margin of 3.5 million votes. 
 

Also, water both is and isn’t wet. Humans created the word wet to both describe when water has touched an object, and to describe the feeling of having water in contact with skin. However, “wet” is more a sensation felt by our nerves. Other animals could feel “wet” in different ways, or not feel “wet” at all; meaning that water is both wet and not wet.

Excuse me?? Still has been no attempts?? What do you call this ?? Pelosi and Hilary said he needs to be impeached or he will win again.   Multiple dems said that the impeachment started the time he was elected.    He beat hillary deal with it.  He will beat Biden.  Deal with it.   The american people see this for the hoax that it is.  Talk to me in November when he is reelected.

Respecting the American Constitution, Protecting Our Country From Tyranny, Holding Those In Power Accountable, or maybe Impeaching an Asshole

    • I always found it hilarious on how people are counting on predictions    The Olympic Games are so specific that 7 out of 10 times an upset occur. Sport is not an exact science, and especially under the five rings. I saw so many upsets happening to obvious and prediction sites/bookmakers "certain" winners but yet people still tend to search them lol    All this require that all planets will align and everything will works exactly as it is wished,.. but yeah, sorry this just can not statistically happen    Oh man how I heard Shifffrin going to destroy everything in Beijing, 150% safe 2 golds I even read somewhere 
    • OA Sport is probably looking to 2022 and Beijing, where we had many medals: 17, but only 2 gold. Safeguarding expectations? Hopefully. With 28 medals overall, even 7 gold isn't a great result – a minimum of decency, with an average of 1 gold out of 4 medals. In my opinion, to get a place in the top 10 of the medal table, you need to win at least 5 gold medals and 6 to be sure of it.
    • You have to distinguish the gold-silver-bronze predictions (more so if based on personal feelings likes OAsport does) from those who come up with an expected medal tally based on chances in each event. The latter Is more serious when evaluating the potential medals of countries.
    • The first prediction is OK for us, but the second is unfortunately disastrous... With 28 medals, only 4 gold at home? And as the same number of gold medals as the UK and Slovenia, who have a combined 6-7 medals overall? It's a disaster. Anything less than 6 gold medals and a place in the top 10 of the medal standings will be a disaster for us... Personally, I'd rather even win 22-23 medals with 6-7 of which are gold, than 28 medals with 4 gold... Yes, every medal counts, but in sport, it's all about winning; the rest are just consolation prizes.

    • Both morocco + senegal got sanctions :     Senegal coach Pape Thiaw has been banned for five of the six 2027 AFCON qualifying matches and handed an individual fine of $100,000 for "bringing the game into disrepute." Senegal players Iliman Ndiaye and Ismaila Sarr will miss the first two qualifiers for the next AFCON later this year for "unsporting behavior towards the referee       Morocco also hit with big fine Morocco's federation were fined a total of $315,000 for unsporting and improper conduct by their players, coaches and supporters. A whopping $200,000 of that total was for the behavior of the stadium ball boys, who attempted to seize a towel being used by Senegal goalkeeper Edouard Mendy on a wet night in Rabat — in an apparent bid to distract him. An additional fine of $100,000 was imposed for the "improper conduct" of players and technical staff who invaded the VAR review area and obstructed the work of the DR Congo referee Jean-Jacques Ndala. There was also a $15,000 fine after Moroccan supporters used lasers to try and distract Senegalese players during the game. Captain Achraf Hakimi was also banned for two games, with one suspended, and Morocco's Ismael Saibari was banned for three games, both for "unsporting behavior".
