If you watch Fox News or One America, you know that their correspondents are already predicting impeachment support will backfire and many recently elected Dems in congress in Trump districts will pay the price by being defeated. Not sure if this is going to happen. We'll just have to sit back and wait and see. I certainly would not mind seeing Abigail Spanberger get replaced.This is bad theater and history will not judge any of it kindly. The rest of the world is laughing at us.

My thoughts are this....Trump has done more to improve things in this country than any other president since Reagan.(no I did not vote for Reagan). He stands for a secure country, a smaller government, an economically sound country and our constitutional rights. I voted for him once and will vote for him again.For the record, I don't have a political leaning, Whatever happens, happens, I feel it's idiotic to get irate and argue over such a thing as this, If half the nation has a different opinion than me personally, that's half the nation, it's at least worth respecting. No rather, I worry about Riots and arguments and divisions causing disruption and chaos.
I'm just curious about what the collective thought is. This isn't a politically Bias thing. It's just in most of our lives we have never been this close to seeing a president removed. And The vote is later today.
What do you guys think? Will the Vote be fair? Is the process fair? Will we have someone else in the office before the day is out?
Thoughts? Opinions?

This is what troubles me though...Democrats and liberals stand for the total opposite. It is as if the bill of rights, the constitution, our security and the financial integrity of our country means nothing. This is exactly how our off shore enemies think...yet here we have our own countrymen thinking the very same. In my eyes they have become the very enemy within.( I am sorry if I offend anyone here)
The impeachment is not impeachment until Pelosi sends the document over to the senate. She will not do that because she knows it will be killed there. Just what should happen to the Democratic circus act. IMHO
You have a solid grasp of impeachment, I'm impressed by this, Large and by far, At least on the national scale, Most people tended to think Trump is on his way out because of the house Vote.
Personally, I have mixed feelings when it comes to Trump, I Voted for him originally, And I do very much see him as a strong leader, I don't necessarily agree with all his points, Like, I don't think Americas biggest problem was immigrants from Mexico. I never really supported the wall, My backing for him came in the form that he wasn't afraid to tell other nations where to stick it, and he didn't care to speak for America with power and authority. He let other foreign leaders know what's up. I support that. I don't really care for the way he Acts If that's a grip I'm allowed to make? I don't feel he has carried the office with a great deal of professionalism, All these arguments he has gotten into with people, Calling them Low I-Q individuals. Calling Rosie Odonnell Fat, I mean, My thing about that is, I feel a President, Should probably be above Basic name-calling, I feel I'm some ways, It really reflects poorly on the Institution. But, You know, I'm not an outspoken opponent of Trump either, I'm really not very political honestly.
The house cannot remove Trump alone. And Pelosi knows that. She3 knows the impeachment case is very weak and the senate will kill it. What her and the
How can anyone who has seen the disintegration of America for the last 40-50 years delude themself into thinking that anything is getting better in this country under any of our totally corrupt presidents or Congresses?My thoughts are this....Trump has done more to improve things in this country than any other president since Reagan.(no I did not vote for Reagan). He stands for a secure country, a smaller government, an economically sound country and our constitutional rights.
You've been just as brainwashed by the right-wing media, as the Democrats who think that Trump is some kind of Russian asset.This is what troubles me though...Democrats and liberals stand for the total opposite. It is as if the bill of rights, the constitution, our security and the financial integrity of our country means nothing.

Yeah the only people who don't seem to see through this farce are the soulless husks who run the Democratic party, like Pelosi and Schumer and Schiff etc. - the kind of people who had no problem with rigging the 2016 primary and plan on doing it again, because both parties now represent billionaire sociopaths like Jeff Bezos, which is why you probably paid more in taxes last year than Amazon (who paid nothing to the IRS on $11.2 billion in profits last year).The impeachment is not impeachment until Pelosi sends the document over to the senate. She will not do that because she knows it will be killed there. Just what should happen to the Democratic circus act. IMHO
I'm sorry Kchoo, but that's outlandishly naive - economic systems are governed by the rules, and when those rules are written by the elites and for the elites, then the conditions are set to funnel money upward to the elites and nothing we can do at the grass-roots level will change that.People also need to realize they do not need big government to have a community.
A community can pull together and create their own systems by simply choosing not to be led around like sheep.
We can change things, simply by doing what works at the smaller community level.
But to do that, we need to ignore all the "We will fix it" bullshit from the top. It isn't up to them.

This is why revolutions happen; ignoring the domination of the few upon the many doesn't make it go away. And when people figure out that the only way they're going to have a fighting chance is by collecting some heads, then that's what they end up doing.

Perhaps a simple analogy will help to clarify. The basis of a vibrant and equitable economy is fair competition, like a football game where everyone has to play by the same rules. Now imagine that one team, The Elites, gets to write the rules. So they write a rule like "The playing field will be tilted 45 degrees, with The Elites at the top, and The People at the bottom." So now we have to play uphill, and they get to run downhill, to score points. What's going to happen? The Elites are going to win every game, because the playing field is skewed. That's what's happened. Except the playing field is titled about 90 degrees now - there's almost no way left to compete with the multinational corporations that pay no taxes, can draw on labor pools and materials resources anywhere in the world, and write the rules to penalize you for trying to compete with them.
This is why revolutions happen; ignoring the domination of the few upon the many doesn't make it go away. And when people figure out that the only way they're going to have a fighting chance is by collecting some heads and seizing control of the government away from the few and returning it to the control of the many, then that's what they end up doing.
Revolution in the form of tossing out the government is not the solution.
I made it clear that the whole system is corrupt so I don't see how you can accuse me of any "party alignment."See, I think that's what's kind of wrong with society, I'm not accusing you or Kchoo here, The problem is, Everyone to a certain extent is indoctrinated or even Grommed into their political views. It's hard to discuss politics with anyone without having to debate the entirety of a political viewpoint. Which almost always falls perfectly in line with a party alignment.
How is that different than what I've said?My thing is, I see the whole thing differently from most people, I think all of politics are a puppet show to keep people confused and pacified, It's really the same as it's always been throughout history, The greedy "Haves" VS and exploiting the "Have not's" They can twist it up into confusion political factions and people can debate the finite intricacies of party alignment, But the Ungodly Rich still Control the entire world and everything the common man does by law. I keep saying we are all sheep, But truthfully. It's not even fun to say, because knowing we have no power or control over our country that it's controlled by the greed of the wealthy.
People just don't realize, To the Government, We mean less than nothing. We don't matter to any of those fat privileged corrupt politicians. I don't know that we ever did.
Of course government is supposed to work from the bottom up. But that's not the reality today because the entire system has been twisted to serve the elites, and only the elites. Right now the top has all of the power and that's a proven empirical fact, supported by legitimate scientific study as I cited previously.No, it is not naive to say that proper government works from the bottom up.
The adherence to the belief that the top has all the power is the distorted reality that even you have accepted.
That's exactly what they want you to think. But it's a fantasy. Freedom isn't given; it's taken.Revolution in the form of tossing out the government is not the solution.
Government makes the rules, and whether you like it or not, you're forced to play by those rules. If you want to change those rules, then you have zero power to do so right now. And that's not going to change without a massive national insurrection. That's the truth of all of human history.Doing what works, means pulling together as a people from the bottom up, to make our own systems of community cooperation... bypassing the dependency on Big Governance.
There it is, the insipid "lift yourself up by your bootstraps" propaganda (which has been disseminated by the elites for at least a century now). It's contrary to physical law that one can "lift oneself up by your bootstraps."It can work, but it means people need to become more community oriented instead of adhering to the "woe is me but I dont want to work for anything" mentality.

The only way we can take our power back, that I can see anyway, is a revolution.

Half of the country isn't poor or in poverty for lack of trying. Americans work harder than anyone in the developed world - many people have 2 or 3 jobs just to survive.
Your argument is just another banal "blame the poor for being poor" logical fallacy. Poverty in the US hasn't skyrocketed because people stopped busting their asses to get ahead; poverty in America has skyrocketed because the entire economy has been rigged to make the rich richer, and the poor poorer, as our jobs and opportunities got exported abroad. The proof of this is all around you. It's shocking that it's not obvious to everyone, but that's what the corporate news media is for - programming people to believe that they still have opportunity even when they don't, so they blame themselves for their struggles rather than the sociopaths running the show.
Overthrowig govenments is also proven to only perprtuate the same cycle over and over... maybe there is a better way?I made it clear that the whole system is corrupt so I don't see how you can accuse me of any "party alignment."
