    What is it you are claiming I am missing and what about the video, there is nothing impeachable in it and what is said is quite correct.

    Research what "Impeachment" is. It would be a huge waste of time to try to explain this to you given that you have already made it clear that you are not familiar with the process, what is "impeached", who impeaches and why somebody is impeached.

    Oh God! Is there nobody on the right who understands what impeachment is?

    I have a news flash for you: we are already impeaching Trump.

    they already have the votes to acquit without the money. They have long since purchased the votes and placed them safely in a row on top of shelf. Unless they know something else they aren't talking about, they should not need to be needing to buy more in the future.

    So you have nothing of intellectual substance to add merely claiming I don't understand something so as to not have to explain what you are saying nor respond to what I say.......gotcha :thumbsup:

    just to be clear

    You said>> Which just happened to be with Trump beeing a proven criminal.

    And I asked for the criminal referral

    So you don't have one..............thank you for admitting it.

    That's all probably true (I don't know, as I'm not in the states), but where I live we have American cable TV available. Watching it, it always seems to me that Americans talk about the next election just as soon as the previous one ends. They are always repeating themselves at how important the next election will be. It's as if they are in endless election mode (I see metaphorical WW1 trench warfare).

    In Canadian and British politics on the other hand, the media narrative seems to be that people want to avoid early elections (though the UK is in unusual circumstances right now) and just get the politicians to do their jobs and form a government.

    I suppose part of the answer lies in the mid-term elections system making elections once every two years and policy is only formed with the next election in mind.

    For the record: Here in Indonesia, elections both parliamentary and presidential are held once every 5 years on the same year. We just had ours in April. We don't expect much out of our national politicians and pay more attention to our local politicians.

    Yeah... I'm growing a bit tired of being a right-winger's Wikipedia. When you learn what Impeachment is, get back to me with intelligent arguments.
    You don't need a "referral" to be a criminal. All you need is to have committed a crime.

    You brought up the criminal not me. And to impeach when there is no criminal even though not required should the GROSSEST abuse of power which has NOT been displayed. So vote to impeach and bring it on.

    No idea what you're talking about. I'll send them a referral, if you want. But Congress doesn't need crap! The House has the sole power to impeach.

    And the Senate has the sole power to dismiss, acquit, or try and find not guilty.

    In today's polarized and ultra high partisanship world of politics, I'm not one bit surprised. I'm of the opinion the democrats want to destroy Trump regardless of who or what gets destroyed while they're doing it. The Republicans want to save Trump regardless of who or what gets destroyed while they are saving him.

    What I see going by the numbers is the democrats want Trump impeached and removed, Republicans don't. Independents, about a third side with the democrats, a third side with the GOP and a third don't give an owl's hoot one way or the other, whether he stays or goes.

    The only question left to be answered is how much harm will this polarization and ultra high partisanship cause the nation? If I thought getting rid of Trump would bring about the end of polarization, ultra high Partisanship, get a little cooperation from the two major parties working for the betterment of the nation, I'd be all for it. But that isn't about to happen. Not when the Democrats think the Republicans are out to destroy the nation and the Republicans think the Democrats want to destroy the country, it's only going to get worst.

    interesting.

    we obviously do the opposite and most people cant name their mayor and have zero clue who their city council people are, etc, and those people affect us directly.

    I blame a combination of media overload and lethargy. we should be following your example.
