Extry! Extry! Impeachment Imminent!

Son, your mother says I have to hang you. Personally I don't think this is a capital offense. But if I don't hang you, she's gonna hang me and frankly, I'm not the one in trouble. —cthia's father. Incident in ? Axiom of Common Sense

Nah, ain´t gonna happen. Would equal too much egg in the face of the republicans, so even the saner ones is much more likely to just suffer in silence while making sure no such horrors actually happen.

There is that.

There is also the fact that you simply cannot keep trying to save someone who obviously doesn't want to be saved, someone who acts like a dummy dictator that refuses to ever listen to any of his advisors—who are all reduced to sanitation engineers forever tasked with picking up and cleaning up his garbage. Trailing them is the presidential dog walker who is always picking up his shit.

Before and during the election at every turn, Trump showed that he doesn't know a damn thing about World Affairs, current issues, foreign policy or any of the current worries, concerns and issues of America. (And now that he's in office it's obvious he's not off somewhere pulling an all nighter, cramming like a college student, trying to play catch up because he's always on Twitter!)

It is like he doesn't ever listen to the news or pick up a fucking newspaper other than to read the business section or to wipe his hairy ass from all the hairy shit he manages to get himself into. So why should we think he's even aware of a thing called the U.S. Constitution or would even care? He has more time to Twit than I have time to post. Doesn't he have POTUS shit to do?

At any rate, you can't keep trying to save someone that keeps struggling against you in the rip current or he'll drag you down with him. He's embarrassing the Republican party so badly that they may never recover from this one. Republican voters are like "Did you know this idiot was this stupid? Well why didn't you tell us?!!! Why did you support him? We hold you personally responsible for this total idiot of an embarrassment!"

Thing is, he's already responsible for whole cases of eggs launched! into the Republican's faces, houses, cars and lives daily! He Twits a dozen embarrassing eggs a day! He twitted the fact that he was going on that secret trip to Mexico that was supposed to be a secret. That's why they call it a secret trip! Damn, even tree bark ain't that dumb. Really, where does he get all of the Twittin' time? Think my post count is high? Well this is my only forum.

And. I. Ain't. POTUS!

I guess he feels he was elected to Twitter his thumbs all day.

A friend of mine said "They're afraid to take his Twitter toy away from him because they're afraid he'll go ballistic. And he already has the launch codes!"

The funniest thing I saw the other day on the net is a sign in Halifax called a Trump Tracker.

He keeps putting a shoe in his own mouth and a foot in his own ass. I guess that makes him self-defecating.

And for God's sake, do take the idiot's Twitter account away from him. Please! He is embarrassing the country! Someone needs to get him hooked on phonics. Of course, he'll spell it fonics. Winning a spelling bee isn't and shouldn't be a prerequisite for a presidency...

BUT DAMN!

He once tried to blame one serious spelling error on the spell checker but then it was proved that it absolutely could not have been the case, then the idiot later owned up to it and admitted to the gross err grotesque misspelling. I guess the spell checker simply could not be made out to look that stupid! And we all have had some seriously dumb spell checkers. But apparently they ain't the dumbest in the land. Not by a looong shot!

He should be impeached because he keeps acting like a child. He needs to show some maturity. Get the fuck off of Twitter, buckle down and get some serious work done already! He doesn't need Twitter anymore, he already won the election. What's he planning to do, Twitter the hell out of our enemies?

I didn't vote for the idiot though I didn't like Hillary either but saw an opportunity to break some more ice. There's been a minority President and I wanted there to be a female President, so after that point we can just get on with electing the best President.

However, after he won, I was like "Relax, give him a fucking chance already because, after all America, we were all screaming for a radical change, we needed someone different. Well, what did we expect a radical thinker would sound like?"

Yes, I know the answer. We wanted radical, but respectful and a bit smarter than tree bark. I guess you can't have both.

All Trump does is sit and shit while twittin' shit. It's time to quit.

At any rate, our error in electing Donald Trump, at this point, reminds me of Tokyo creating a bigger problem for themselves by waking up Godzilla to battle King Kong.

:lol:

:D

I think i managed 10-15k posts in a year on all forums combined at my most active(and i write long posts more often than not), but i´m a very fast typer and that was while i had absolutely 100% free time(in theory at least).

I guess he feels he was elected to Twitter his thumbs all day.

A friend of mine said "They're afraid to take his Twitter toy away from him because they're afraid he'll go ballistic. And he already has the launch codes!"


:mrgreen:

Never use the damn things, just slows me down, i selfcorrect faster and more accurately, sometimes without even having to look at the screen or the keyboard.
That´s what you get from having been trained by a GOOD typist, you feel with your fingers on the keyboard when you mistype.

I didn't vote for the idiot though I didn't like Hillary either but saw an opportunity to break some more ice. There's been a minority President and I wanted there to be a female President, so after that point we can just get on with electing the best President.


Her being a she was one reason i actually gave Trump a chance of winning well before the election, USA is so totally over-macho-ed.
I expect it will take quite a few years before there´s a 1st female US pressie.

However, after he won, I was like "Relax, give him a fucking chance already because, after all America, we were all screaming for a radical change, we needed someone different. Well, what did we expect a radical thinker would sound like?"

Now, tell us how you really feel. :D

That may not be so far from the truth.

So, the liberals/progressives believe that a person (Ivanka Trump) should be punished for the sins of the father. That mindset is quite insane.

Now, one of the forum posters said I should not post on a subject because I have not been here long enough and where was I eight years ago. Well, I could tell you but I would have to kill you...National Security :roll: ! Thanks for a good hearty belly laugh! Let's get back to point that we need to try to be civil on the forum and within our politics when discussing issues close to our hearts. Cursing on the forums advances the argument...how? That's the whole point, the forum poster or debater loses many in the discussion when descending to this level of acrimony.

Yes, she should be punished for willingly associating with and enabling a massive idiot in the White House. She may be less insane than Trump himself (she may, in fact, be a mostly rational human being), but the fact of the matter is that she's still doing her best to make her father look good (or at least acceptable).

Basically, if you willingly and publically associate yourself with the most amoral and incompetent person to ever sit in the oval office, you should be criticized.
If you're also seen as using your personal association with said person to gain a business benefit, well, guess what. It's punishment time.

This has nothing to do with her being tarred with the same brush as her father. This has all to do with her not talking him out of this whole bullshit.

That Trump does it is remarkable, that people don't see anything wrong with him doing it is worrysome.


There is a difference between supporting someone's right to say something and agreeing with what they say or in this case the wisdom of what they say.

There is also his personality to be factored in. This is the kind of thing Trump does. When he speaks, more often than not he is speaking of his private opinions not in his PROTUS persona. If Obama or GW Bush had said exactly the same thing word for word, there would have been much more of a firestorm because they rarely spoke in their private personas.

She talks him out of the worst of it. If you expect her to talk him out of ALL of it you're punishing her for failing to enact a miracle that would require divine intervention.

He hasn't yet done anything which rises to the level of an impeachable offense. Acting like an idiot isn't impeachable. It is grounds for losing a re-election campaign.

But 2020 will be a 2 man race and the Democrats have to come up with someone who is an improvement over Trump. It shouldn't be hard but at the rate the Democrats are going it looks like most of them are secretly working for Trump's 2020 re-election committee.

>>>Ben Wedge was on his way home from work, walking down Agricola Street, earlier this week when he spotted the homemade sign in a window.

"Number of Days Since Trump Last Embarrassed America" the sign read, with a light-up, electronic ticker below.

Of course, the ticker was set to zero.

You get used to it after a while.
