, predicated on a lie, that killed a million innocent civilians and which visited terrorism on our countries right up to this very day.

How soon we forget, Saddam Hussein was a maverick, who threatened to harbour Al Qaeda training camps if the West threatened his fiefdom. It is believable he would do things like that. True, in that event the numbers killed would have been smaller but still significant.

Life ain't binary. As we can see from the twists and turns above. Though how you can throw peach coloured mud at an orange pile of dung and tell that there is any mud on him anyway...................

Dear British, We Amricans are currently suffering from severe Trump fatigue. Any discussion of the big Cheeto is virtually impossible.

Donuel. Will Trump be impeached?
Will Pelosi off the VP as well?
Will she become President by default
Will she appoint Hilary as Santa's little helper and then resign to give Hilary the Presidency

Will the deplorables take this on the nose?

Other authorities hold:
The Constitution doesn’t say how fast the articles must go to the Senate. Some modest delay is not inconsistent with the Constitution, or how both chambers usually work.

But an indefinite delay would pose a serious problem. Impeachment as contemplated by the Constitution does not consist merely of the vote by the House, but of the process of sending the articles to the Senate for trial. Both parts are necessary to make an impeachment under the Constitution: The House must actually send the articles and send managers to the Senate to prosecute the impeachment. And the Senate must actually hold a trial.

Thats why must agree on rules we invent to detail the trial together.

Another year gone of which were not fond
For it was full of fear throughout the year
If there's one more election for Trump to abscond
We may see the Presidency become a life long career

Well as you know, if you follow our posts - we all broadly agree that the UK is a pretty fucked up place, Thatcher and later Blair got up to some very blatant sleight of hand abuses of power using the hidden world of security forces.

However we do seem to have one redeeming factor. If you fall foul of the law and you get nicked - you really are in the shit. I'm not saying this is a good thing - ask the Birmingham Six.

In America however - this doesn't seem to be the case, Your President seems to have been caught in an act of wrongdoing, and the consensus of opinion in this thread seems to be whatever the evidence - he's going to walk, he's going to be President another four years.

A bit sad really.

Nothing so obvious to us over here, Big Al. And Iains is wrong as usual - Trump has been impeached. Hard stop. The rest of it may appear to be window dressing, but the opinions that say it doesn't really happen until it reaches the Senate are of the "wishful" variety.

The trouble with Trump will be 1) he won't leave the White House after he is unelected, 2) he'll quit right away and leave Pence in charge for the last 2.5 months, or [shudder] 3. he'll do like that sore loser governor from Kentucky and release the worst of the worst convicted murderers on the general population just to get even.
