The American (USA) 2016 presidential elections thread?

[jasonu]

Odd thing for you to say because a a while a go a mod questioned me about a photo of you in your "Trump T shirt"
i posted it, after you claimed it was ridiculous to claim you were a trump supporter in any way.
Turns out "someone from america" reported and claimed had "they had never posted it KB prior to me posting it"
Only trouble was you had posted it on KB previously aye. Oh how i laughed.

Yes I did get a little egg on my face over that one. Looking back it was amusing.
It is the one and only time I have complained to the kB police.
How many complaints have you sent this week?

Yep, This thread and the Dems sham impeachment is proof they walk among us.

Truly amazing how many stupid people are running around loose.

And driving cars.

And riding bikes..

And having children...




I am comfortable with the fact the Dems will eventually pay dearly for what they are doing.


"The Senate must be unrestricted to conduct 'other' important business.
If [D]s knew Senate would not vote to convict - why proceed?
How long does a typical Senate impeachment trial take?
Can the Senate conduct 'other' business during this time?
No.
What 'value' might this have for [D]s?
Barr/Durham working in secret?
Senate working openly?
'Value' of public learning the truth prior to i_unseal?
Propaganda_push failing.
Transparency & Accountability is the only way forward to save the Republic.
This is not another 4-year election.
Game theory."

Admiral Rogers, now retired. discovered shenanigans with a number of FBI contractors searching for Trump campain related stuff on the NSA databasre and quickly shut there access down. Quietly told the Trump team without a word to Obmuma. I fully understand why Trump is weary of them.

A quick look shows a few people resigning too

Two of the better tweets from overnight.

Speaker of the House on impeachment. Speaker indeed. I guess her auto-prompt failed.

Oh, and the first reply from Kathleen is a beaut...

May as well be - take a good look around, this sort of bullshit is usually just a distraction to keep the world from looking at something serious going on. - Iran anybody?

So at some stage the impeachment process will head to the US Senate - or not. The US Senate is about as democratic as the DPRK (North Korea).

I read this morning that representatives of just 7% of the population can exonerate Trump. Every state has two senators. There is a huge disparity in the numbers of people represented by each senator. Some senators probably represent more horses than people.

So I just did a quick check of some 2018 population statistics.

New York 19.54 million
California 39.56 million

North Dakota 760,077
South Dakota 882,235

So between them New York and California have four senators representing some sixty million people.
The Dakotas also have four senators representing somewhat over one and a half million people.

From memory there are seven states with fourteen senators that have a combined population less than California with just the two.

If you hear senators talking democratic process, don't laugh so hard you spill your drink.

The US is a constitutional republic you Dingbat. Ammend the Constitution if you don't like it. Dems bag on about the Democratic processes constantly but don't like the results.

The Forefathers made sure that a couple of states couldn't control the whole country.

Then you clearly have no clue about the Electoral College or the deliberate manner in which the US political system was setup.

He's been there for a while. That little bit of nonsense you quoted is a good enough example of why.

Y'all (well the more enlightened among you) will have noticed the hypocrisy of some of the Republicans who passionately spoke for the impeachment of Clinton for telling a lie about a blow job, then opposed the impeachment of Trump who faced far more serious charges.

The following is an example of rare consistency, they supported impeachment on both occasions. Being who they are, this could be in the nature of a seismic event.
