I wonder what "corruption related to  the DNC server" is supposed to mean.

Trump continues to believe the conspiracy theory that the Ukrainians, not Russians, hacked Hillary's emails.

Interesting piece from a few weeks ago that attempts to explain the rings of conspiracy theories that seem to be believed in Trumpland.

I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

I'm not even sure how to respond anymore.

Perhaps you should feel reassured - mental illness no longer disqualifies you from high level government positions.  In fact it's almost required!

That's kind of in bad taste Beeb.

I don't think we need to treat Trump and his posse with kid gloves.

It was one of the centerpieces in the transcript that Trump released. He demanded Zelensky investigate Biden and find the servers of Hillary emails in Ukraine.

Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Conviction in the Senate trial results in immediate removal from office and the VP becoming President.
thanks! :)

Is the removal from office final after the Senate vote, or can the President appeal to the Supreme Court?

The Senate's judgement is not reviewable.  The Chief Justice of the Supreme Court presides over the Senate trial.

A bunch of judges have been impeached in the past and AFAIK none have ever been given the opportunity to appeal once convicted. I don't see why the President would be able to.

Ok, I had forgotten about the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court presiding the trial.  It's only the 3rd impeachment since I was born :P

So we should vote for an outsider because the establishment politicians are too corrupt...but he is going to be corrupt anyway because the establishment politicians are corrupt?
Yes.  Your best bet is to amend the US Constitution and allow foreign born residents to become President. We'll send you Justin Trudeau.  For free.  We'll even throw half of the Liberal Party of Canada in the pot to sweeten the deal.

Nah, it's cool.

Glad to hear.  No disrespect was at all intended.  You've been open with your past, and I thought it would be funny.

Besides I know you'd never stoop so low to work in the Trump White House. :hug:
