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.

 

And your response is the perfect example why the entire politics is a waste of time :lol: Some people are going to even argue the water isn't wet just to win a debate. This is so 21st century when "my way is the only way".

 

Got better things to do than arguing what the word "wet" means. Over and out :water:

I'll put a few once Senate is done throwing this garbage in the dumpster where it belongs.   And I was so sure that he withheld aid that's why he was impeached.... however.... hmm.... there is no bribery count.... HOW ODD!   probably because THEY...... FOUND..... NOTHING....... 

 

But you and all the liberatds with tds can keep celebrating this IMPEACHMENT as some sort of fascist achievement.  Yet when it really count..... on the Senate vote.    And in November.  The true patriot americans will celebrate.   And that...   that you can bank on

The whole water/wet thing was a big debate in my generation in high school. My response was meant to be more of a light hearted jab. 
 

Also, to be fair. You always seem to forget you’re talking to someone who’s majoring in communications studies, with a potential minor in psychology, and with avid interests in human philosophy and nature, geography, and political theory.

Now had you actually taken the time to read the articles of impeachment, you’d know that bribery is the main charge under the article concerning abuse of power.

Oh no! A sick misspelled burn. Oh, whatever shall I do ?
 

Also, it takes Fascist supporter to know one. 
 

The United States government is set up on a bicameral system where no house is more important than the other. The Senate may carry more weight, but the founding fathers set up the House of Representatives to be the truest voice of the American people. Yes, the true patriots are celebrating tonight.

Well, as espected. Just like the Senate voting not to remove him from office will be expected :p

 

Biggest fool of the night: Scalisse. He called Gordon Sondland, and I quote, "the Democrats' star witness".

 

 

Sondland was a Republican witness :rofl:

Never said Antifa were the true patriots, nor would I defend the majority of their actions. The same goes for the other groups you mentioned. 
 

You also clearly don’t know what a Democratic Socialist is (and neither does the majority of DSA, hence why I’m changing my affiliation in 2020). I believe in strengthening our democracy, and I believe in pursuing socialist policies. However, it is not my wish to have a dictator or one party in power. I not afraid to label my self a Democratic Socialist, I where it as a badge of honor to show people that I true care about everyone.

    • I would say they will not be eligible. But it realy abotut the wording every federation has in its papers. World Aquatics changes their policies several times (especially after Mazepin "solved the issues" persoanlly - as witnessed one russian Olympic champion)   Inoirtnat notes on FIS decisions:   FIS points are frozen for ruissns and belorussians - so the situation is not so complicated for a lot of them. The list of the AIN`s is not final as the list from ISU was. It means that persons mau be not only removed from the list but added as well. I expect russians to try some freestyle applications before the stage in China, for example. FIS has not problems with the deny of visa or entris by the host countries. So they kept the possibility to close the doors for the russians for all the countries as ICF did. No sanctions for this, no removing events from the Olympic qualification list, no host changes,   * * * * * Here is the the relevant extract from FIS papers for Aerials tram event. What do you think?
    • Not only Korostelev but all 3 russian entries. I will bring the detail 
    • And will bet that the IBU is a lot richer than the FIS because their wealth is based on German TV contracts.  
    • Russians filed an appeal to CAS against IBU. But I do not believe they will get any result in time to grab quotas. I suppose IBU will not agree to have "fast" hearings as FIS did. And i suppose IBU will fight in CAS without intention to lose as FIS did.
    • hmm - aren't Australia and New Zealand the only nations that actually compete in the Oceania Cup?
    • If Australia and New Zealand earn quotas through Pro League, then does that mean 3rd placed team from Oceania Cup takes quota? 
    • Right now russians themselves metioned that they have 2 main options for women`s quota: - Peklecova will was not included into the international doping testing pool (RUSADA is still incompliant after that scandal) - D.Nepryaeva had training camps at the occupied territories - it is the best way to avoid of the international doping testing at all     P.S. Little detail - according to Vaelbe 90% of russian skiera are contracted with russian army or other security services.
    • We had no real problems with russians for a long time. It was a normal sport rivalry. It was common case that statues of russian politicians and poets remained in place even in the Western Ukraine which was joined by the Soviet Union much later. Lyskun was pro-Ukrainian according to her statement but she kept conctcts with her former coach. That coach moved to russia earlier and could do some brainwashing. I would say that the coach may have financial motivation to do this. By the way we had similar case with Bondar from Luhansk who moved to russia in 2014. What is really interesting - russians have a lot of resources but it took them 4 yeats to find someone relatively well-known in sport area to stage this propaganda performance.       Yes, this web-site is active and maintained. The list is beeing updated. But it is not an official goverment resource and it is operated by the non-goverment organization. It was created to draw attention of the national security services to the activities of some people and provide some initial foundations for further formal investigations.
    • AIN's will skipped (they got American visa too late) 2nd WC stage (but their could compete in 3rd WC stage) and, therefore, their chances to got more than 1 entry in OG have become lower, especially,  if their will not allow to compete in Sigulda (but after their participation in Poland's short-track WT stage, I won't give 100% chances for that).   Maybe problem with entries will be solved by itself)
