I despise the way media sensationalizes shit. There's still another month or something before anything actually happens...
Donald Trump today became the third U.S. president to be impeached as the House of Representatives formally charged him with abuse of power and obstruction of Congress in a historic step that will inflame partisan tensions across a deeply divided America.

The Democratic-led House's passage of two articles of impeachment on a mostly party-line vote sets the stage for a trial next month in the Republican-controlled Senate - friendlier terrain for Trump - on whether to convict and remove him from office.

The abuse of power article was passed on a 230-197 vote. The obstruction article was passed by 229-198.
The House action sets the stage for a trial next month in the Republican-controlled Senate - friendlier terrain for Trump - on whether to convict him and remove him from office. As the House voted, Trump was addressing a rally in Battle Creek, Michigan.

Typical reaction in the American heartland:

"That's nice, dear. What else is on TV tonight?"

And Pelosi may decide to hang on to them for however long and I doubt that will fare well with the Dems in 2020.

The Republicans have a majority in the Senate so Trump will get off Scott free.
It's all been a waste of time from the start.

It looks like Pelosi is going to hold off presenting the Articles of Impeachment to the Senate. Personally I think this is a dumb and bitchy move.

Why? To deny Trump a swift acquittal and in the hope they can sling some more mud between now and November 2020.

I think she is up for re-election next year and I hope she loses.

You are assuming a rigid party discipline such as in Australia, Bobby. In the US, discipline is much laxer. They made similar claims about Clinton and his impeachment. How'd that work out again? :roll :roll

Interesting article re Obama withholding aid to Uganda, Colombia, Nigeria, Israel and Ukraine but that's ok? :roll:
The hypocrisy of the Democratic Party over this impeachment nonsense knows no bounds. Last week I noted five examples of Barack Obama obstructing justice that they had no problem with. Sadly, there's plenty more hypocrisy to point out.

Democrats have been so desperate to paint Trump’s actions as unprecedented, they’ve even argued that any time conditions are put on foreign aid that’s tantamount to an illegal quid pro quo. When White House Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney noted that conditions are put on foreign aid “all the time,” the media and the Democrats blew up, claiming this was an admission of a corrupt quid pro quo because, obviously, any condition for aid can’t be anything but. Right?

Of course, everyone knows that Mick Mulvaney was substantively correct. Conditions are put on aid all the time. In fact, some 2020 Democrats are calling for conditions on aid to Israel. Where were the allegations of a quid pro quo? It has already been established that there are legitimate reasons to want to investigate Ukrainian interference in the 2016 election, and even the Democrats’ own witnesses in the impeachment inquiry have acknowledged that Hunter Biden’s role at Burisma raised legitimate questions.

Nancy Pelosi looks like a witch.

Her magic won't work - Trump's popularity will grow.
