..does anyone want their house haunted.......call old Nancy.....youll definitely get value for your money....

FIRST WITCH
Round about the cauldron go;
In the poison'd entrails throw.
Toad, that under cold stone
Days and nights has thirty-one
Swelter'd venom sleeping got,
Boil thou first i' the charmed pot.

ALL
Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn, and cauldron bubble.

SECOND WITCH
Fillet of a fenny snake,
In the cauldron boil and bake;
Eye of newt and toe of frog,
Wool of bat and tongue of dog,
Adder's fork and blind-worm's sting,
Lizard's leg and owlet's wing,
For a charm of powerful trouble,
Like a hell-broth boil and bubble.

ALL
Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn and cauldron bubble.

THIRD WITCH
Scale of dragon, tooth of wolf,
Witches' mummy, maw and gulf
Of the ravin'd salt-sea shark,
Root of hemlock digg'd i' the dark,
Liver of blaspheming Jew,
Gall of goat, and slips of yew
Silver'd in the moon's eclipse,
Nose of Turk and Tartar's lips,
Finger of birth-strangled babe
Ditch-deliver'd by a drab,
Make the gruel thick and slab:
Add thereto a tiger's chaudron,
For the ingredients of our cauldron.

ALL
Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn and cauldron bubble (4.1.4-36).

I wonder if the Republicans realise that if Trump is forced to resign, Pence the VP then takes over as el Presidente?

How could Trump possibly be forced to resign?

There's no way two-thirds of the Senate will vote him out, plus he has the full support of his own party, as evidenced by the House vote.

And if anyone wants to bet that he'll kowtow to the Democrats' demands and voluntarily leave office, I'll bet any amount of money that he won't.

Not suggesting he will resign BUT if he is made to resign or decides to resign himself, what is lost really? Trump is just a man, nothing more.

Despite Donald Trump becoming only the third President in American history to be impeached the mood among his supporters at a defiant rally in Battle Creek, Michigan, was upbeat in the face of what conventional wisdom would once have seen as a devastating political blow.

Trump supporters said they were upset with Democrats – not their President – and characterized the impeachment process as designed to overturn Trump’s win in the 2016 election. But they also said there’s a clear backlash to the proceedings that’s benefiting Trump and all but sealing his re-election bid.

Thus, as America watched the impeachment of Trump unfold on television, the mood among many attendants at the rally in Battle Creek rally was almost celebratory. “The Democrats are crazy and this is only helping Trump,” said Battle Creek resident Perry Wright. “They can keep trying and trying, but they’re only going to lose the House before it’s done. I hear the Democrats are wearing black because they’re at their own funeral.”

That sentiment was echoed by Laurie Boyd, who lives in nearby Galesburg. She said the impeachment process – which showed Trump sought to strong-arm Ukraine into investigating a political rival – didn’t persuade her and was just “firing up” the President’s base. “We were kind of quiet when it started, and now we’re getting louder,” she said. Her husband, Stephen, added that people are “starting to see corruption not on the president’s side, but on the side of his accusers”.

Impeachment appears to have done nothing to erode the support of his fervent base. Rally goers said the transcripts, months of hearings and Democrats’ televised presentation of their case.

“Did you watch the hearings? They didn’t present any evidence. It was all speculation and hearsay. There’s nothing there,” said Mike Ostafin, who lives in rural Ceresco, Michigan. Battle Creek resident Tim Stemaly labelled the Democrats’ case “garbage”. “None of it is real. It’s all made up, and the American people can see through the Democrats’ lies,” he said. “There’s plenty of evidence against Biden, but no one is looking into that.”

Similarly, Julie Mayer, who lives in nearby Vicksburg, said she didn’t witness the presentation of a solid case for impeachment but “a lot of opinions and feelings – not enough facts.” “I’m a researcher, and I haven’t found any facts. I’m always searching for truth and I don’t see it here,” she said.

All of those who spoke with The Guardian said in some terms that they viewed the impeachment inquiry as an attempt to reverse the results of the 2016 election.

No darlin' it is the first time in history that you have agreed with the Guardian… you wannabe leftie you.
