As I said. 2018. Smile

I hope that Across (and hers) are all safe. Sad

Can't bring myself to watch but you’re not alone in what you’re saying roussette

If I saw the incoherence, breathing difficulty and amount of gurning and gesticulating we just saw from Trump in a clubbing setting, I would be telling my friends: "Uh-oh, that old boy has overdone it with the coke tonight. Should we tell security?"

Me too cozie. I saw this and it raised a momentary smile

I couldn't bring myself to watch, either. (I know I should but..........)

BossyBitch · 06/12/2017 18:40

The Ministry of Truth Corruption Bibi has spoken and called the Jerusalem announcement "an important step towards peace".

In other news, we've always been at war with Eastasia.

A piece of what?

OnTheDarkSideOfTheSpoon · 06/12/2017 18:47

nyx1 I’m not sure what strategy the dems are pursuing but I know that a lot of dem voters and pundits are frustrated by the lack of impeachment because it’s not part of the National consciousness yet

www.washingtonpost.com/amphtml/blogs/right-turn/wp/2017/12/06/the-president-doesnt-need-to-have-committed-a-crime-to-be-impeached/?tid=ss_tw&utm_term=.7bd5b1110329&__twitter_impression=true

It is for this reason that I find it troubling and inappropriate for Democrats to refuse to discuss impeachment. A dialogue with the American people needs to get underway, and Republicans sure aren’t going to begin it. The supremacy of Congress here to decide what is impeachable and to undertake a serious effort to try and convict a sitting president should be vigorously defended.

I've actually stopped listening to the radio on the mornings now. It's had me sticking my head back under the duvet in despair.

OnTheDarkSideOfTheSpoon · 06/12/2017 18:52

It being particularly highlighted now that so many of them are calling for Franken’s resignation but aren’t calling for trump’s or discussing ethics investigations/impeachment hemmed proceedings for him.

lionheart · 06/12/2017 18:53

Ginger you can dream. Smile

The whsitleblower letter looks bad.

The Trumpfuckery is intensifying. Shock

Lweji · 06/12/2017 18:54

Dens need a Congress and Senate majority for impeachment. That means waiting for the next House election round.

Patience is needed. Although the prospect of Pence is not an improvement, so, 2020? Confused

OnTheDarkSideOfTheSpoon · 06/12/2017 19:01

Yes that’s what I thought too lweji but there are an awful lot of democrats on twitter furious that impeachment proceedings aren’t being raised. I’d have thought keepin your powder dry would be more tactical given it’s not going to go anywhere at this stage but can’t work out what I’m missing for so many people to think otherwise

cozietoesie · 06/12/2017 19:01

Subject, as always, to 'events', a Senate Majority in 2018 is a big ask. A House Majority is entirely achievable, though.

OnTheDarkSideOfTheSpoon · 06/12/2017 19:18

Oh, this apparently just happened

58 Democrats just voted to advance the impeachment of Donald Trump.

Seems significant.

Minimammoth · 06/12/2017 19:38

I think he stand before the mass audience and expects them to chant ‘ all hail Trump, all hail Trump’ like the mini beings in Men in Black.
