Pence has already been given an ultimation to invoke. So it is that easy. 

As you will see the ultimatum will have no effect at all.  So, not easy.  Things should be made as simple as possible, not moreso.

Well, finally, something to unite the country.  Anti Trumpers are chomping at the bit for a trial as are Trump supporters. Looks like Trump will present evidence that the courts refused to hear.

 

 

Hmm ???? we’ll see, so far Trump has been all smoke and mirrors. IMO, any “evidence” he has will not hold up under scrutiny.

Think for just a minute - if he had any evidence, wouldn't he have provided it months ago? And any cries of "fake news is suppressing evidence" is pure bunk. ANY real evidence would have been shouted from the mountain tops.

My point exactly! I was just being polite to the original post.

Is it vindictive bullying to prosecute someone who commits a crime?

I pushed my grandma down the stairs, but she lived. Now my parents want to call the cops. What good will that do in unifying the family?

Agree, but this will backfire on them as it will shed light on the crimes committed by his enemies.

 

80 year old Pelosi has overplayed her hand, again.

I'm a glutton for punishment so I'll bite.

What are these 'crimes committed by his enemies'?

Please pass on my best wishes to your Grandma, I sincerely hope she recovers quickly and cuts you out of her will.

I too wait with bated breath.  But I don't think an answer is coming....at least not a coherent one.

So you consider that impeachment is simpler? Get real.

Yes they are all after Trump, not because he did anything wrong. Because they know he will win in 2024. As tweetle Dee and Tweetle Dumb have no answers for the next 4 years!!!!!!!!!!

He'll be wearing orange in 2024, or living in Turkey.  Even Russia wouldn't want him.

You're delusional. I suppose enticing right wing terrorists is perfectly sensible and sane for a US president.

This coming from a supporter of a guy who repeatedly claimed he had a superior health care plan since before the beginning of his term, but somehow never managed to release it.

From the look of him it appears to be his favourite colour.  Reassure 45 with the phrase 'when one door closes another opens'..............that happens in prison.

The Dems and MSM just realised their biggest asset is not president anymore very soon . They could drag this impeachment out for years and hopefully distract the people from the useless tit Joe Biden . Yes Trump is mental but impeachment? Christ which president have they had that wasn’t dodgy enough for impeachment? 
 

 I just feel the MSM have realised their biggest news story is going away and the Dems still need to keep playing the blame game as they are a complete joke.

I'd put a "maybe" on LBJ. The rest, most certainly.

I agree with Carter . And that’s is just my opinion . The rest are yours . And tbh maybe some ( not Obama lol) more . As a Brit I’m not really up to knowledge ( nor care too much ) to research . But I do know Carter was a humble guy.  
 

Sorry In advance for sticking my stupid ass Brit nose in US politics . ????

No need for sorry, members here at TV do that a lot with Thai politics anyway

Republicans are starting to ask what they should do with 45.

 

Here's an idea: What would you do if it were Obama? Do that.

If (when?) he's impeached on Wednesday, I'm not sure it would be a good idea to accept The Medal of Freedom from him on Thursday?

 

Awkward.

 

Someone else agrees?

Utterly pathetic move by the Dems. It will achieve nothing other than to cause further division.

See how that works now?

I beg to differ imo it gets all the Republican enablers spineless cowards on record as supporting a coup against American democracy over fear of trump it impeached this (insert word here)of a president twice first time in history it does serve a purpose.on a side note a shout out to the folks working at Thai visa for fixing the technical issues thanks!

The division was already caused. And it wasn't the Dems.

Acountability seems to be a dirty word in US politics. Lets start making it the new norm.

3 GOP members of the house now say they will vote to impeach.  17 more are also expected to join them.  So, seems it will happen in the house.

 

McConnell is said to approve of the action.  Perhaps as a way for the GOP to rid themselves of Trump?  Hmm....it will be interesting to see how this unfolds.  Maybe the GOP will turn the corner and start becoming a better political party?
