Happy Impeachment! Next step is removal. (Trump thread 98)

[TheClaws]

In the last thread, Trump was impeached by Congress. Now the question is when the articles will be sent to the Senate for Trial, as - at this stage - there is no guarantee from Mitch McConnell of a fair trial. Trump clings to his belief that his call to Zelensky was “perfect”.

No, the Pharmacist sounds like a good alternative.

The old it's the economy, stupid.
But, is it doing as well as advertised? And will get worse or better by November?

We're getting to new thread time,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Just a quick comment at the end of the thread: every time the Fart says "Witch hunt!" the proper reply would be "Whitewash."

[lionheart]

Go ahead cozie.

Full steam and all that.

[cozietoesie]

I'll wait thanks.

Even the Guardian puts them in the order three-men-first-then-Warren, even in an article about another of the female candidates. ("rivals Bernie Sanders, Pete Buttigieg, former vice-president Joe Biden and Senator Elizabeth Warren.")

I am finding the sheer misogyny in all the mainstream reporting quite shocking.

[cozietoesie]

Sometimes I think I should go to the back of the class.

[lionheart]

Yes it is shocking.

I don't really get Sanders, or Biden or Mayor Pete.

Why cozie?

[cozietoesie]

Because I can't figure them...........

[AcrossthePond55]

I haven't paid attention to how they're listed. I'll have to start.

IMO the frontrunners should either be listed by polling numbers or 'seniority' in politics (ie VP, Senators by years in office, mayor).

[AskingQuestionsAllTheTime]

Why is a former President called President Name in the press and a former Vice-President called ex Vice-President Name not simply Vice-President Name?

[cozietoesie]

Down to the regard in which they're held, I reckon.

[TheClaws]

Hi all - was surprised (but not shocked) to hear about Vindman’s dismissal. Very Trumpian.

Now I'm wondering if the new thread will be Impeachment II.
