Remember: it's no longer "President Trump" - it's "Impeached President Trump"

You sound mad. Was it something I said?

Not at all, I enjoy reading your comical narratives, makes me laugh.

So, right now the situation is that about one-third of America's voters elect two-thirds of the House of Lords, er, I mean the Senate. A similar lop-sided dynamic affects the electoral system for the presidential election, which is why we have had two minority-elected Presidents during the last two decades.

In a republic each state is a government unto itself and requires equal representation under a federal system. It's only a lopsided dynamic when the Dems lose. The Dems M.O. is change the system till we win. The electoral college did us well for over 200 years. It's not until the American socialist progressive movement started that you want to change what made America great. "America Great" that's a catchy phrase don't you think?

Additionally, appointment of the federal justices are essentially controlled by the President and the House of Lords, er, I mean the Senate. Thus, it is a reality that during 8 of the last 20 years, the Senate, the Presidency, and the Judicial appointments have all simultaneously been controlled by Republicans who were elected by a minority of the nation's actual voters. This is what Republicans foolishly call "a landslide mandate".


Obama judges confirmed: 329: 2 SCOTUS, 55 APPELLATE, 268 DISTRICT and 4 to court of international trade.

GWB judges confirmed: 327: 2 SCOTUS, 62 APPELLATE, 261 DISTRICT and 2 international court

Clinton judges confirmed: 378: 2 SCOTUS, 66 APPELLATE, 305 DISTRICT and 5 to the international courts

What's your point?


Well guess what? We crashed under one of those Republican presidents and are headed for another crash under the current one. The anachronisms and faults of the electoral system need to be changed via Constitutional amendment after the next crash. We have had enough of this crap. We no longer need to placate the slave-owning states of the 18th century.

Be careful what you ask for. Apparently you haven't thought through the elimination of the electoral college. The house reps lose their value of one vote and so goes the strength of party affiliation. Red and green districts disappear, party will be strictly ideology. Large blue districts that consistently vote blue may change. Many red voters don't vote in blue districts because it's a lost cause, but if you eliminate the college, all of a sudden these red votes mean something, those millions of lost cause votes could even the landscape in a populous vote. The good thing that could come out of eliminating the college is reps will be forced to interact more with their constituents than party loyalty.

Meanwhile, dry your tears and get used to the fact that Pelosi is not a mindless Fox News cult follower, you big baby.

A crash will come when Sanders the socialist or Warren the progressive authoritarian takes the helm. Wealth redistribution will never work!

All the peoples house!! She's obligated to represent all the people not just her TDS laden democrats. Our laws apply to all. Spare me the " Trump not above the law shit". You can't sit on your perch and claim orange man bad without casting dispersions on the Clinton team. Absence of conviction =/= absence of guilt. Obama's DOJ was a protection scheme to insure Clinton was elected. It says something about how bad a candidate Clinton was when she wielded the awesome power of the Obama regime and still lost. Dems jumping into another rabbit hole with Lev Parnas, maybe the next impeachment HOAX. Dems are building their own funeral pyre for 2020.

It says something about Trump and the Sessions/Rosenstein/Barr Justice Department that they can't manage to lay one charge on Obama or Hillary.

Hillary Clinton's Big Benefactor Has Trade Links with Iran
By Rory Ross On 04/18/15 at 6:15 AM EDT

Enemies of Hillary Clinton waiting to discredit her bid for the White House are likely to seize on news that one of the biggest benefactors to the Clinton Foundation has been trading with Iran and may be in breach of US sanctions imposed on the country.

Ukrainian oligarch Victor Pinchuk, 54, has courted the Clintons for at least nine years – in the United States, the Alps and Ukraine.

Earlier this year, he was confirmed as the largest individual contributor to the Clinton Foundation, whose aims include the creation of "economic opportunity and growth". He also has links to the Tony Blair Foundation and represented its biggest single donor in 2013.

The fourth richest man in Ukraine, Pinchuk owns Interpipe Group, a Cyprus-incorporated manufacturer of seamless pipes used in oil and gas sectors.

Newsweek has seen declarations and documents from Ukraine that show a series of shipments from Interpipe to Iran in 2011 and 2012, including railway parts and products commonly used in the oil and gas sectors.

Yup, thought it through.

It's bad enough that the House of Lords is elected by a minority of voters, given their specific power over Judicial appointments. Time for a Constitutional amendment to prevent more minority-elected presidents.

And, while we are doing Amendments, pass the E.R.A., also.

Structural change. Move forward, not backwards. A concept Deplorables can't fathom.

Ukrainian steel magnate Victor Pinchuk’s foundation was the single largest outside donor to Donald Trump’s private charity in 2015, according to new IRS filings filed by the organization. The $150,000 gift amounted to 20 percent of the foundation’s total donations during that time, the documents showed. The filings also affirmed Trump violated tax laws by using his private foundation to self-deal, or enrich himself and his businesses instead of fulfilling a charitable mission.

Pinchuk’s gift was given in conjunction with a short video Trump made for the Yalta European Strategy annual meeting, held in Kiev in September of 2015, according to The Washington Post.

“Victor I have known for a long time and he is a tremendous guy, a tremendous guy so it is a great honor to be with everybody,” Trump said as he struggled to hear the intermittent audio feed.

Pinchuk has been linked to another controversial figure in Trump’s orbit: adviser Carter Page, whose ties to the Kremlin were probed by U.S. intelligence officials. According to a Bloomberg report, Page told a colleague at Merrill Lynch, where he worked in the early 2000s that he had a relationship with Pinchuk. Shortly thereafter, Page was sent to help the firm open up its Moscow office in 2004.

Page reported that connection to the CIA and the FBI. Trump wasn't President at the time of the donation, unlike Hillary's Clinton Foundation donations which occurred while she was SecState. My point is not about the past but what is about to come in the future...remember the names.

Nancy Pelosi says abortion bans 'ignore basic morality'

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., told one of the nation's leading abortion advocacy groups on Thursday that Republicans "ignore basic morality" when they push bans on the practice.

“These bans violate the Constitution. They ignore basic morality,” she said during an address at NARAL Pro-Choice America's 50th anniversary dinner.

Her comments came as a spate of states move to impose restrictions ranging from near-total bans on the procedure to heavy regulations on clinic conditions. A slew of states controversially passed "heartbeat" bills that banned abortion after a doctor is able to detect a heartbeat.


"Today, as we know, an all-out assault on women’s reproductive freedoms is sweeping the nation, as Republicans seek to impose abortion bans on millions of women in dozens of states," she said.


She went on to argue that "every woman, everywhere has the constitutional and moral right to basic reproductive health care."

Abortion has become a hairy issue for Pelosi, who has defended congressional funding for Planned Parenthood, the nation's largest abortion provider, and vowed to defend the landmark abortion legalization case Roe v. Wade with "every tool in our disposal."

The California congresswoman has described herself as a "devout practicing Catholic," identifying with what is perhaps the largest pro-life organization in the world.

Catholic clergy have repeatedly condemned both the act itself and pro-choice political advocacy. Vatican officials have reportedly said Pelosi should be denied the sacrament of Holy Communion and the last pope -- Pope Benedict XVI -- personally reminded her of the Church's stance on the issue during a private meeting.

Pelosi has defended her position by suggesting that she knew more than the pope did on the issue.

Nothing in there at all about her agreeing with abortion.

 

[Conager]

Nothing in there at all about her agreeing with abortion.

Sure there is. As a self-described, devout Catholic, Pelosi is merely applying Mathew 6:21 and Luke 12:34.

 

[Conager]

Has anyone gotten a statement from Impeached former President Clinton about Impeached President Trump's (new) title? As Nancy has said the highly partisan action that they took to impeach (now) Impeached President Trump "is forever!!"

How does Impeached former President Clinton manage to soldier on, day by day, with that permance continually hanging over him, especially since his impeachment was bipartisan and involved admitted high crimes and misdemeanors?

After proudly, partisanly Impeached President Trump is embolden when he is proudly acquitted, will SCOTUS' entire bench sit out his State of the Union address as they did with Impeached then-President Clinton because his actions impugned the rule of law, or will SCOTUS see this as the partisan hack job that real Americans see this as?
