Any psychiatrist that proffers a diagnosis of a person without having examined that person should be struck off.

You seem to have no problem about making many comments on many forums about peoples' mental ability without ever meeting them!

3 reasons, actually.  

 

1) Impeachment is a political process, and they could have video of Joe walking across the Whitehouse lawn with a bloody machete in one hand and a severed head in the other, and the Dems still wouldn't vote to remove him from office.

 

2) Kamala Harris.  Best insurance a president could hope for if impeachment were a possibility.  Like, if he knew he was telling campaign porkies about influence peddling and figured the truth would come out while he's in office.

 

3)  Even if they did manage to remove him from office, Kamala could pardon him (a'la Ford/Nixon).  Wait for a new president to prosecute a private citizen and I doubt a pardon is in the cards.

 

Makes no sense to actually impeach him.  But it makes a lot of sense to use the subpoena power of a House Impeachment investigation to compel witnesses and demand records.

However, it's only after they failed to provide any valid evidence that they changed their tune and decided (well, it seems they decided it) not to hold an impeachment vote. In particular as several GOP congressmen have stated there was no valid evidence.

 

Their master would be the most happy man if they were 'only' able to adopt the impeachment articles with a simple House majority, in order to confirm his false equivalence theory ( which was the cause of the investigation)

They never changed their tune.  They never figured removal from office was even a remote possibility, just on the votes alone.  Let alone the mind bending possibility of a Kamala presidency.  They just wanted the investigation for the subpoena power.  Of course, it would have been politically stupid to say that going in.

Nice try!

You conveniently ignore there isn't only the removal vote, which requires a 2/3 majority.

The first impeachment vote requires only a simple House majority (ex. Trump's impeachment). They found out they could not even win it because not all GOP Reps. were ready to vote the articles, as they did not have valid evidence.

Attendance not so good lately. He needs new material. Maybe get an actually policy platform going instead of build a wall, deepstate, witch hunt, "drill baby drill " and devising silly names for his rivals. 

 

Trump had 1.5 million people at his inaugural blowing Obama crowd size out of the water. SAD

Trump's legal team brought 63 lawsuits before the Supreme Court but none were successful. Forensic audits were launched by the Republicans and came up with nothing.

Jeez, not only did you get the facts wrong, you're not even in the right country.

But, like I posted before, you can make up anything you want about Trump and it won't get taken down here.

So when should candidates start to be concerned about what the public thinks about themselves and their policies? A month before the election? A week before the election? 

Expand  

You are asking me the best way to integrate policy with political campaigns?

 

Here's a hint. A politician has policy convictions before the campaign begins. Their campaign is about educating the public about their policies.

 

We are not yet at the point in this campaign for the public to really care about policies.

So, you are saying that the Biden investigation failed because of lack of supporting facts, but the Republicans knew this at the start of the investigation?

The difference between the Indonesia lawsuits and Trump’s election fraud propaganda is that the former are still in the appeal stage while the latter have been adjudicated and dismissed.
 

 Trump's legal team sought a path to bring a case before the Supreme Court, but none of the 63 lawsuits they filed were successful.[

Expand  

 

So, your "63 lawsuits with no wins" came from a statement that Biden made on Jan 7, 2021?  Long before any lawsuits could have possibly made it through any real proceeding?


Other than the "63" being wrong, "before the Supreme Court" being wrong, "none was successful" being wrong, I guess I'd have to agree with the rest.

What are you talking about?

 

Trump lost tons of lawsuits during the fight over the 2020 election.

 

Do you disagree?

I hope you're right. Because so far Trump has been pretty effective at convincing the public that Democrats are using "lawfare" to prosecute a political opponent, even though "we are not yet at the point in this campaign for the public to really care".

What is Donald Trump's mental state? I direct the question primarily to those working in psychology, psychiatry, neuropsychiatry, etc., and prefer serious and professional answers. I don't work as a psychologist, but I've studied this for many, many years and have a great interest in the dark triad.

I'm sort of guessing Josephine's original posting wasn't directed at AN members - I doubt we have many working in those professions here 😁.

 

But to answer her - the man is a raving lunatic.  What that says about around 50% of the US electorate, I'll leave her to contemplate.
