The Official "Damned Trump" Thread

Ha, the fussy girls weren't off praying, that's just what they told you. They were in our barracks.

The reality of service and servicemembers is what compels the jesusists to seek tighter control. They know we're not god's people, but they do believe that we should be gods army.

I wonder where that was?    hmmmm....the only barracks around us were for females.

Those bitches must have snuck off to the MP training barracks.  Those were coed.

Anywhere they could have found it is where they'd be, yeah.

I  joined '69, fourteen hours after graduating from high school. In boot camp I was ordered to attend a church service each week. I hope my snores weren't disruptive.

After boot camp I put "Zoroastrian" in the "Religion" box.

My last ship, we were asked if anyone needed new dog tags. One guy got new ones with "Druid" as the religion. 

Dunno if it’s still the case, but if you were arrested in Northern Ireland, you had to disclose your religion (for obvious reasons). There’s a story - probably true - of a man who told the booking sergeant he was an atheist. The cop didn’t have a check-box on his form for that, so he asked, ‘Are you a Catholic atheist or a Protestant atheist?’

And in addition to plans to invoke the 25th Amendment against Trump, several new articles of impeachment have been drafted against Trump.

This is either a belt and suspenders approach at removing Trump from office or a sign of Democratic infighting that could derail the whole process. I hope to hell it’s the former. Though given how the last impeachment went, I’m not sure if it’ll work this time, that and it’ll almost certainly largely be symbolic since there’ll be no time for a senate trial.

Yes there will. He can be impeached even after he's left office. It prevents him from ever holding it again.

It all tracks and seems fair when you have a good hold on who and what you're dealing with, doesn't it, lol.

Bill had already jumped ship...and I wondered then what was too much for him.  Who knows, maybe this..but if this wasn't it........then....?

The stink of failure coming from Trump's pants.

While it’s true that he can be impeached at some point in the future, that won’t be enough to bar him from holding office again. It would take a Senate conviction to do that, which won’t be in place for a minimum of two years (probably much longer).

Probably some smart thing about justice being slow, but I can't come up with one off hand.

It looks like it’s a bit more complicated than that, Boru. While officially convicting Trump would require a supermajority, and that may not be likely, it turns out there’s a separate procedure for disqualifying him from office and there is indeed precedent for a simple majority. And, even assuming the votes all fall on party lines like last time, it turns out that, with the recent election of two Dems from Georgia to the Senate, and the two independents who caucus with the Democratic Party, there would be a tie. And with VP Kamala Harris acting as tiebreaker in the senate, such a majority is more or less there. And if some Republicans break the old party line after this shit, a majority is all but guaranteed.
