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

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”.

I think impeachment (or an attempt at it) is only going to fire up his supporters, and is counter productive

Happy new year from a regular lurker.

Thanks to those that post regularly for your informative posts and expertise. I wish I was only half as eloquent in expressing my point of view.

The threads seem to be slowing down a bit. I feel it too. It's so disheartening to see such corruption and incompetence and yet so many people just don't seem to care or are still so I'll informed.

Someone did post on one of those earlier threads the importance of taking breaks to re-energize. I hope you all have had a good festive period and have rested somewhat from the relentless news cycle. Let's hope 2020 is a year of action and justice not only in American politics but with Brexit, climate change and a return to ethics and good moral practice.

Happy New Year, ludodog!

You're a lot more eloquent than I'm feeling at the moment, so I shall just add a "Hear hear!" to your New Year wishes.

And a nice cup of all round, to fortify us on the journey.

OK, it's now officially Election Year. Time to get down to the real business of getting that Large Lump of Ludicrous Lard out of "The People's House" (aka The WH).

Happy New Year One and All. And here's to a bright shiny future! One that will really begin on November 3 2020. That will be "New Year's Day" in the hearts of Americans who actually care about America!

Can that be a mug of cocoa, Perking? I am off coffee for some reason, and tea wouldn't suit my mood, not comforting enough.

PerkingFaintly · 01/01/2020 14:53

A mug of whatever you need, Asking!

Hoping for a Trading Places year.

And thinking of Australia. Watching the Sidney fireworks in the news felt very odd.

On better spirits, the best words of 2019.

Happy New Year and hello ludodog.

Roussette · 01/01/2020 21:21

Hi ludodog and welcome

I agree... the threads have slowed down, but I think the important thing is... they don't stop.

yolofish · 01/01/2020 21:32

Late PMK, I also feel that things seem to have slowed down, don't know if it is just due to the usual Christmas/New Year hiatus where nothing happens (at least in the UK?)

cozietoesie · 01/01/2020 21:44

Yes, ludodog. Welcome.

PerkingFaintly · 01/01/2020 22:55

Oh lord, I misspelt your name. Sorry, ludothedog.
