Your lack of conversational awareness and comprehension is hilarious. I wasn't even the original poster, I was simply clarifying the exact opposite point you just stated for the second time. He wasn't speaking for the mentally challenged or berating your use of the word retarded. It was a JOKE on Donald Trump being so fucking retarded even retards would be offended by the comparison. Again, a cliche joke with no attached offense taken or seriousness..you know what a joke is right? I can't believe I just spelled his comment out for the second time and for some reason I still feel like it will go right over your head and I'll get a similar reply as if I'm the original poster.

Are you tired of using a barbeque to char that steak to a crisp? Are you sick of using a george foreman to suck all the flavor out of your favorite cuts of beef? Well look no further. With the steak gun you can enjoy steak from the comfort of your own couch! Just stick the barrel in your mouth, pull the trigger and let that 8 oz porterhouse rifle down your gullet.

You're looking at about 500lbs of meat. You could probably survive for a whole year on one cow and some multivitamins if you really had to.

ganymede_mine ยท 3 points ยท Posted at 17:45:09 on October 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)

I get a half cow every year, which is about perfect for us (6 people). We then supplement with chickens, fish, and wild game. A half comes to about 300 pounds or so hanging weight, so 500 isn't too far off.

Yes, I like meat, and yes, I can eat a lot, but I fully understand I can't eat a whole cow in one sitting. For those of you trying to inform me how big a cow is, I get it. I really do.

You don't kill cattle for slaughter with a gun...

It also takes a lot longer to butcher a cow than it does to clean a gun

You also generally clean a new gun before firing it, and firing one round doesn't mean the gun needs to be cleaned

I live in the US, and I know what a CMR-30 is, although I'm unsure why you'd need a semi-auto carbine for "cattle hunting", whatever that means. You're saying you go out into the pasture and...hunt your cattle at range with a 22 Magnum? Or...you go and press the barrel of the rifle to the skull of the cattle and execute them? Either way you could just use a bolt action for that.

I think it's a little more nuanced than that since it is congress who has the power to impeach. If that is the will of their constituents (and in an ideal world), any congressperson should cast their vote accordingly to represent their district. Defying your constituents is a great way to not get reelected.

Impeachment doesn't actually require a criminal act being committed.

One example of this is "maladministration," which is so vague it could apply to literally every president to date.

Not really. What Dunkus up there is trying to make sound reasonable is a Billboard meant to encourage left leaning 20-somethings in rural California to actually show up and vote for once. They're going over the top with the divisive propaganda (talking about impeachement like it's easy to do even with evidence of criminal activity) because it's a midterm election and its hard enough to get the college and post college young voters to actually vote in a big presidential election.

This Billboard is just DNC propaganda. Call it what it is. Both parties have divisive propaganda like this all over the place. It has little or nothing to do with actually impeaching the president.

Shh don't contradict the circlejerk. It's so ridiculous. They've been calling for Trump to be impeached since before he was even inaugerated. My concern is that if he ever actually does something worth impeaching for, they've been crying wolf since election day and running smears against him on the 24 hour news cycle. Where do you escalate your outrage? They've been at max anti-Trump for months, it's becoming like a dull hum. I think there's even a backlash building. Now, whenever he does something not utterly contemptible, he's attracting plaudits and praise from his opposition.

It's completely fucked. There've been presidents like Trump before - brash, politically incorrect, insensitive. But there's never been a media and political climate like this before.

Unseating a republican congressman means replacing them with a Democrat/left leaning congressman. Congress are the ones who decide who gets impeached, as the articles are voted upon in the House, then tried and convicted in the Senate.

Currently, the way things are being voted upon, Republicans are voting upon party lines (for the most part) to vote opposite of whatever the democrats want, making impeachment in this current congress difficult, if not impossible. Replacing Republicans with Democrats increases the likelihood of impeachment.

Out of curiosity, what hard look in the mirror are we talking about? The policies Hillary Clinton supported during her election seemed pretty great imo. She was always composed during the run and never came off as just plainly stupid. And I mean, Trump was beyond regressive and distasteful. Dude endorsed all the things America is supposed to hate and picked on disabled people and gold star families. I'm pretty sure he won off that instant quarter of the country he gets by openly endorsing racism and xenophobia. The whole election seemed like idiots spouting off conspiracy theories about Bengazi and emails and shit and forgetting about policies, competency, and basic decency. If anything, Trumps talking was his own anti-Trump ad. He was certainly more inflammatory than his opposition and he was certainly more reliant on attack ads. I don't know what could be found upon self-reflection. Embrace the fact that middle-America is really fucking backwards and making policies that help them doesn't garner their support as much as calling the other side corrupt?

Nothing close to a conclusion with Russians but certainly a small drop of corruption.

Trying to use Bernie's religious convictions against him as well as the whole cheating in debates debacle. DNC was actively against him and with the revelation of what Brazile and Wasserman-Schultz did cemented the organization was corrupt.

Bernie's religious convictions? Cheating in debates? Tbh could you just source to me all these things? I think I need context.

Moreover his platform was pretty identical to Clinton's. Seems pretty stupid to vote for a person and not a platform and that person's competency in advocating and enforcing that platform. But again, that would just moot the whole point here and I've already entertained the idea so I guess I can't use that out anymore.

You can easily google why Wasserman-Schultz and Donna Brazile were ousted from the DNC.

As for the Donna Brazile debate cheating scandal, either your playing dumb or you seriously have not paid attention to the last few years. You should also read Shattered, which was originally planned to be a book about her victory.

Bernie's platform was quite a bit to the left of Hillary's. He was against H1Bs, outsourcing, and universal healthcare. Hillary's paid speeches outline her more centrist position pretty clearly.

KawKawww ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 19:00:15 on October 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)

Bernie is still touting universal healthcare

I asked for the source on the basis that I don't think there is a good one

The Donna Brazile thing is both tangential to Hillary Clinton and a literal open apology

Being against H1Bs is to the right and Bernie wasn't here or there on it. He was for raising wages of H1b workers.

Bernie was against TPP and that was arguably his worst plan since he was trying to fool Americans into thinking production jobs in America are still going to take up a large portion of our economy. Stupid bullshit that he then worked into Clinton's platform when he lost the primary.

The paid speeches thing is fucking stupid. She has backers. People put value in what she says. They both published their platforms. Both were extremely similar. People just believe what they want based off attack ads.

[deleted] ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 19:18:40 on October 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)

Donna Brazile literally gave questions that were going in the debate to Hillary's team. There is no question about this, she was fired by CNN over it. She later tweeted that she was willing to do whatever it takes to win.

Bernie's take on H1Bs has been widely documented and raising the wages of H1B is effectively limiting their hiring. H1Bs act to depress wages in tech sector. I think the existing bill is to raise their minimum to 110K, your going to see a lot of H1B visa holders being sent back to country of origin due to this.

TPP had a lot of bad shit in it and thank god its dead.

The paid speeches are simply a way of lobbying and buying influence without appearing to do so. Nobody in GS or Wall Street cares what Hillary has to say. They just want her to jump when they tell her to jump. Probably the best way to illustrate her corruption is that as soon as she lost the money pouring into the Clinton Foundation drastically slowed and CGI was closed due to lack of funding.

Hillary was out of touch with the average American citizen and you are as well. Hillary lost because she was the one without policies, competency and basic decency. At one point in her campaign she may as well have told half the country to fuck off with her deplorable statement and gave them a rallying cry. Perhaps we have different idea on what we're supposed to hate but I know damn well what I'm supposed to love and that's freedom, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Those idiots spouting "conspiracy theories" aren't as crazy as you'd like to believe. Benghazi and the E-mails were two very real situations involving HRC that proved she was willing to lie to Americans, willing to do whatever it takes to cover her tracks, and they tarnished any record of decency or competency she had remaining. Her pay to play involvement is a whole other story but I recommend looking into it along with the number of journalists and politicians directly connected with HRC that have turned up dead. HRC is two faced and flops on issues like it's going out of style, she hasn't always been the champion for gays and women and outcasts and rejects and immigrants in fact she's taken stances against these groups multiple times. She lacks a moral compass and only supports issues that she believes will garner votes. She supports women's rights while simultaneously sending weapons and taking money from countries where women have literally zero rights. She's flip flopped on gay marriage more times than Trump has been married. The list of issues with HRC is too massive to condense into a Reddit post and probably even a book. The Democratic Party hasn't got a chance in hell of taking back seats unless they take a good hard look at these slimy, corrupt, life long politicians. They don't support America and America doesn't support them. I'm also getting sick of the muh majority vote crap. Look into how many dead people voted for Hillary, look how many dumb twenty somethings bragged about voting multiple times, look how easy so many liberal strongholds made it for undocumented migrants and illegals to vote. She may have won the popular vote but look at this picture and tell me America didn't vote for Trump. I wish more people on the left would break the brainwashing. The identity politics and virtue signaling will be the death of the Democratic Party. People shut own now when they hear any opposing view and refuse to actually look into it and it all began during the election. Anyway /rant take a look at this and tell me America didn't vote for Trump.

Hillary was more out of touch than Trump? The silver-spoon billionaire? Wut. Also she proved her innocence on all accounts in court. She changed her mind on gay people over 20+ years. She was extremely consistent on immigration. She never changed a single opinion while campaigning except maybe TPP but the TPP is kind of a good thing anyways that's just easy to frame like a bad thing to middle America who still thing production jobs are going to come back. As a Bernie-voter, that was my biggest gripe with him and it's the one thing he worked into her campaign after losing the primary. She was demonstrably less flip-floppy than Trump who took could literally change stance on an issue 6 times in one interview. There's an entire subreddit that's just him criticising himself.

I think you're very misinformed if you're being honest here and really biting the attack ads hook-line-and-sinker, which is sort of the topic at hand.

Also most if the red you're showing is pretty much empty relative to the blue....there is a literal number of tallied votes. I can objectively and unquestionably state that Hillary had more votes....wtf is the map trying to do? Like it's literally an extra step. That's EXACTLY how someone would go about misrepresenting a number, you bafoon.

Get some self-awareness before you go off on a rant with so many holes in it. You seem out of touch with reality and you've clearly lost your sense of perspective here.

Yeah he's certainly out of touch in that sense and your definition of out touch is wrong in the first place. He's never lived a normal American life. He has no understanding of it. He advocated policies that work against most of America other than his niche group. Reducing regulation, working against globalization, lifting labor laws, advocating tax reform that relieves taxes on the wealthy, getting rid of social programming including healthcare, pretending coal is still a viable industry, OPENLY advocating stop and frisk in a fucking debate, showing zero understanding for immigration reform and promising a wall that neither addresses the issue nor helps the tax payer, and literally being so bad at condemning Nazis that they said his condemnation was a success for themselves. Most of these things are central to his platform, not just anecdotes (other than the last two which just show his out-of-touchness with where America - and the world - is socially).

How can you not see these things that have directly and consistently come out of his own mouth and say "hmmm maybe he is not the every-man he claims to be?"

I think a start with Shattered would be a good place to begin. Southpark also pointed out that she was her own worst enemy. I agree on every point you made about Trump, however, Democrats have just fucked the middle class. Iโ€™m a tech guy and luckily enough to be in a field that is immune to H1B, however if you are for high paying jobs why are you for incrased H1B quotas. Only Trump and Bernie said fuck that.

We had two really unlikable candidates, with another great guy who was fighting against the system.

Bill Clinton had its the economy stupid and Ross Perot. Trump had its the jobs stupid and angry Bernie supporters.

The electoral system was put into place for a variety of reasons and one of those was so that states with large populations or who have gamed the system into awarding them a larger number of votes would have less of an impact.

KawKawww ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 18:01:30 on October 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)

Democrats fucked the middle class? That's a very new one to me. In fact, I would argue it's flat out incorrect. Can you clarify a bit for me?

Also Bill Clinton seems sort of tangential and he was arguably one of the best things that has happened to the US economy in the last half-century. I really need you to clarify that one.

And again, Hillary wasn't unlikable. Republicans have had an agenda and media campaigns against her for decades though. SHE wasn't the problem by any means, especially next to the guy she was running against. I think South Park isn't quite the best place to go for political opinions or commentary. It's comical hot-takes. Nothing that's meant to be super thought-through or nuanced.

And I know why the electoral college continues to exist. But the equality sacrificed for that equity isn't worth it. Middle America is too disproportionately powerful and federal government never delves into their issues anyways. Farmers rely more heavily on state than federal legislation, save maybe SOME environmental laws but, once again, middle America seems absolutely clueless about global warming or environmental science in general so effectively that really seems like a bad thing anyways.

You canโ€™t gerrymander a senate seat, you also forget that no Republicans were running for senate in California. By losing heavily I mean the now famous, we have lost 1,000 seats following this nonsense email. Also results in previous blue states show that the party has taken quite a hit with members of labor unions. This could simply be that Hillary was seen as such a repulsive option that they went with Trumpโ€™s US first line. You can have several heavily populated states and play just to those interests, but you are going to lose an election doing that.

I was a Bernie supporter and will support Kamala Harris if/when she does run. While I didnโ€™t phone bank, I did financially support Bernie and not with small amounts of 10 dollars here or 50 dollars there. You can scream gerrymandering or voter suppresion all day its not going to chance the fact that democrats and particularly the BS that the DNC and Hillary campaign pulled left a bad taste.

It has a lot to do with it, actually. In 2010 I worked on the campaign of an incumbent congressman, a very conservative Democrat in Mississippi. Our opponents mercilessly anchored him to Obama and Pelosi, despite him rarely voting with the Dems. In this day and age, local politics are inextricable from national politics. Furthermore, if you're gonna impeach Trump, you need someone in that seat who is gonna vote for impeachment.

My logic sets no general principle, nor does it attempt to. Trump is a serious deviation from acceptable norms - far beyond political differences. It's not a matter of just not "liking" him. I believe it is more than clear that he is a despicable human being and an embarrassment so contemptible and extreme that merely opposing him or saying that you do is not enough. The only responsible approach to Trump is to demand his immediate removal from office. I may be in a minority but I believe this is the only patriotic and responsible position to take.

I agree with you to the extent that he's not a morally upright person to whom anyone should look up.

But once you start saying that anyone who disagrees with you politically is unpatriotic and evil, I'm afraid that's the the logical end of discussion.

I don't think you're a bad person for opposing the president. In fact, you have good reason to hate him. But you moralizing politics is going to lead to a lot of dead ends. You think millions of people are "bad" for not agreeing with you, and I can't reason with you beyond that. I'm sorry.

I don't have any particular grievance with your response, aside from the fallback position of "whataboutism".

As far as "owning" lincoln is concerned, we live in insanely partisan times; we are nearly as broken and divided as a country activley engaged in civil war.

Except the parties are just titles given to an ideology, a mindset. Conservatism was the real cause behind the KKK (bitter Confederate soldiers who were none too happy to lose their slaves and seeing them given better standing in society.) and President Trump. It doesn't matter what you call them, the ideals are the same. Why is it all the modern KKK support Trump and the GOP? Because they share the conservative mindset, just like the Dems had in the 1800s and early 1900s before the Southern Strategy flipped the parties.

You try to demonize the Dems of today by citing the Dems of the past. When that is just a title. And there was a well documented switch on who has what title. The GOP of today isn't the party of Lincoln and the Dems of today aren't the party of the KKK. But the right likes to play it up like it is. Which is what you're doing.

I like how if the KKK supports Trump , clearly that also must mean Trump supports the KKK. Antifa supports dems, therefore I can only assume the democrats support Antifa. Yet we have years of Trump denouncing them and we have your candidate literally being mentored by a former KKK member (Robert Byrd).

The flipping of the parties is a myth. Funny how the dems were getting slaughtered in elections in the civil rights era and all the sudden abandoned thier racist heritage and support the civil rights they had filibustered and voted against just a few years earlier. Then they tried to brand the republicans as racist, sadly at the time the republicans allowed it to happen and have struggled to shed the bullshit lies since. Meanwhile the Dems implemented policy that essentially subverted the black community into low wage slaves to the democratic machine and guaranteed thier vote segment while marginalizing them for decades.

I never said Trump was KKK himself, you're falling back on the stereotypical Trumper response and trying to play the victim. And also bringing in your current boogeyman ANTIFA, who aren't relevant to the discussion at hand. Stop trying to change the subject. Were there any sects of the KKK that supported the left during this election? After all, if they were the party of the Klan, why didn't the Klan respect their own heritage? Or were they all firmly in the rights camp because they share the conservative mindset the Dems had pre Southern Strategy?

You can attempt to deny it all you want but look up Goldwater, the Dixiecrats and The Southern Strategy. The parties absolutely flipped. No matter what your echo-chamber tells you. (It's funny how even mentioning it in The_Donnyboy and some other conservative subs straight up gets you banned. I wonder why?)

You try to pin the Klan on the modern day Dems, but they all support the GOP these days. Why is that?

Speaking for myself I vote Democratic, but if an Eisenhower ran again I would vote Republican. I stood in the voting booth for like 3 full minutes remembering the points I coached myself on in the previous months to get myself through voting for Clinton.
If Colin Powell had run I probably would have voted for him too, but I think he became disenchanted with GOP social agenda (my opinion).
I didn't vote for Obama twice because he's a Democrat, I voted for him because he was extremely well qualified, and came from a background where money couldn't solve his problems. I believed he would put the law and the good of Americans first, and he delivered.

They're two different people.

Doesn't matter too much with messaging. Impeachment is poorly understood, but emotional, it'll get people to the polls.

The ad is playing on the stupid notion that all Republicans are Trump.

So the Democrats are finally figuring out how to message like Republicans. Frustrating isn't it.

To some degree it's not an unfair linkage though -it might be one you dislike; but the sitting president is considered the leader of their political party.

The Republicans own the House and the Senate. They have done nothing to defend our Constitution nor Bill of Rights, much less bring this man to answer. It certainly appears 98% are indeed 'trump'.

Michaelis_Maus ยท 0 points ยท Posted at 17:25:20 on October 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)

Trump is a flagrant symptom of how broken the politics have become, and unseating Republicans in Congress is a concrete step towards fixing that.

Like all ads, the message isn't literally "impeach Donald Trump," it's a reminder that Trump is impeachable and that people have to make it happen.

You don't think every Apple ad is literally about buying a specific product, do you? They're lifestyle ads, not for the object, but for the brand.

By the way, Republicans support Trump against all their seemingly conservative rhetoric. They're in bed with him.

Edit: also, I assume one downvote and no reply means "I agree."

Billboards like these have no real effect. There has to be a legitimate reason to impeach a president. You think it's going to make undecided millennials vote left? It's just as likely to make them vote right, because it's an obnoxious billboard.

Of course the real motivation behind this billboard is money. People will look up the organization behind the billboard, and those who agree with it might donate, and someone's pocket gets fatter in the process. Behind every silly little protest or campaign, there is always someone filling their pockets.

Just a slight quibble, but there isn't a defined legal standard of proof required to impeach or to convict and remove. Both are purely political processes in which the judiciary (including the SCOTUS) has no input.

A Congress can impeach a President for any reason, or for no reason. Not that this Congress would, but the Constitution very pointedly does not define what is and is not an impeachable offense.

How about the tons of ethics violations leading to him directly profiting from tax payer dollars? Such as the secret service being made to rent from Trump properties? And visitors at his Mar A Lago resort having access to President for a membership fee? Such as this http://www.businessinsider.com/trump-north-korea-mar-a-lago-meeting-photos-2017-2

Does a vote of no confidence count as a reason? He has accomplished essentially nothing and has spent the last week getting in a twitter war with the mayor of San Juan while refusing to allow aid to be sent to Americans. Or the fact that he can't hold on to an administration employee for 3 months?

hoikarnage ยท 3 points ยท Posted at 02:14:17 on October 2, 2017 ยท (Permalink)

Are you stupid? The secret service are never forced to do anything. It makes sense that they would rent from the same place as where the president was staying. You think the SS never rented anywhere Obama was staying? You think while Obama was on vacation nobody ever got a photo with him? That's pretty much all Obama did, photo op after photo op. He actually had a team of paid photographers follow him everywhere he went. Trump has sent tremendous aid to Puerto Rico. Thousands of personnel and tons of supplies. The departments in charge are doing everything they can despite being overwhelmed by the relief needed in Texas, Florida and the other islands as well. Other mayors in Puerto Rico have praised Trump. Stop focusing on one whiny little cunt. Your reasons are all shit. No confidence? That's nice, sorry but you dont get to decide that just because you dont like him, you have to have an actual legitimate reason.

You're right, those are 88 bullshit reasons.

Common tactic, when you have no good reasons, make the biggest list you can of shitty non-reasons in order to convince people you have some sort of argument. I mean look at that list, reason number one is "Donald J. Trump swore to โ€˜โ€˜faithfully execute the Office of President of the United Statesโ€™โ€™ and to โ€˜โ€˜preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States." OMG HOW DARE HE! Wow look at this list lol. Almost everything on here is childish and some make the writer look racist. How dare Donald rent to foreigners!

There are maybe two or three reasons on that list that might stand on their own, if they had proof, which they don't, because if they did, they'd be starting the impeachment process by now.

Okay well, have you been following the news at all? I really find it hard to believe that you have no idea what if anything Trump has done to be impeached. Comey was fired in May because he was investigating Trump's possible collusion with Russia, by Trump's own admission, which is on video and you can watch for yourself with a simple google search. Obstruction of justice. There is your one example of an impeachable offense with proof.

He has done many, many other things since then. Just read the news. Unless you ignore the news or only read/watch Fox News propaganda, it's impossible to not be informed on his myriad of examples of complete incompetence and abuses of power.

And there you go again, "He has done many many things." No proof included in your statement.

So far the reasons people have given me include, "Donald J. Trump swore to โ€˜โ€˜faithfully execute the Office of President of the United Statesโ€™โ€™ and to โ€˜โ€˜preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States." and "He rents to people from China."

Portaller ยท 3 points ยท Posted at 19:03:22 on October 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)

You aren't taking the situation into account. Trump's response isn't perfect, I will concede. There are some areas he could be doing better in. However, he is definitely handling it. San Juan is getting a surge in aid right now. Defense personnel numbers on the island continue to rise. The governor of Puerto Rico has spoken out in support of Trump, which would seem a little strange if one was handling the emergency as poorly as people claim. Criticism of the response, again, is certainly possible, but to claim that it isn't being handled and amounts to "genocide" is dishonest and completely unwarranted. Again, it seems unlikely that the governor of Puerto Rico would speak favourably about a response that was literally genocide, no?

As for being on vacation and his tweets to Cruz, I agree.

I don't recall saying that. I've seen some good memes from both sides and some very bad memes from both sides. Currently, it seems like the left is winning the "who has the worst memes" game, but I've seen a few good anti-trump ones.

Nah man cmon, you can do better than that. You know that it takes two to tango and that both of these parties are a joke. Simplifying it down to "calling for all of this to stop" totally lacks nuance, its not genuine. You're saying its "calling for all of this to stop" but someone else might call this the left stirring up the political shitstorm even more, starting the next legal/political battle to unhorse trumples. I'm a moderate and find voting for red and blue candidates stupid. The guy above is entitled to his opinion and not wanting to see some gigantic idiotic billboard about an impeachment that's about a 1/1000 chance is perfectly valid. Yes, it would be a dumb reason to vote for trump but not wanting to be annoyed by political garbage is reasonable.

Of course it lacks nuances, but seeing the direction the country is going and people literally dying from natural disasters; all the while this moron is chilling at his resort and talking shit to almost anyone then I don't think you can be on his side unless you are truly delusional. That's what I mean by making all this stop. He isn't helping anyone at all just making things worse. Also, it's a fucking billboard if a billboard enraged you that much than you have bigger issues than politics.

Hahaha yeah right, so people that don't agree with you are the problem? How progressive! I didn't vote for either of those two idiots either. The reason we have so many problems is because of this massive political division centered around two god awful parties. They both have a few things right and a massive shit stack of things wrong. That kind of polarizing attitude is just so backward, you go ahead and pick red or blue all you want but being a sheep and caving into Washington's propaganda doesn't make you enlightened and it certainly doesn't make you better than those of us with the moral fortitude to say fuck that. The president is the highest executive office in the United States and it supposed to be held by a person of character and honor, not by someone who's just barely better than the other choice. Until there's a leader worth endorsing, choosing to abstain or vote third party is a perfectly valid choice.

You're so tired of hearing about his tweets and the protests...you have no inclination to push for what it asks for, but you might have that fatigue and irritation when you go into the voting booth.

There are people who refuse to pay attention to politics. If this sign and others like it get a few of them to notice how awful Trump is, it could make a small but important difference.

Also, there are plenty of people who are already opposed to Trump who are suffering from outage burnout due to the sheer volume of stupidity and malice flowing from the White House. Signs like this can help rally them and keep them active.

I bet a lot of people who have never heard of Courage Campaign will resonate with the message of impeaching Trump, and it will drive donations and new membership that exceed whatever they spent on the billboard.

Impeachment was never going to be driven by popular sentiment or Trump wouldn't have taken office in the first place. But many people support the idea of impeachment and they will support groups that are vocally aligned with their views.

Virtue signalling is the conspicuous expression of moral values done primarily with the intent of enhancing standing within a social group.

Since 2015, the term has become more commonly used as a pejorative characterization by commentators to criticize what they regard as the platitudinous, empty, or superficial support of certain political views [..] This more recent usage of the term has been criticized for misusing the concept of signalling and encouraging lazy thinking. Wiki

The fact that the people driving by this billboard aren't likely, or even in a position, to literally impeach Trump just means this billboard is an attempt to influence people's thinking in a certain way.

It's like a Burger King ad on TV. Nobody thinks you're going to go to Burger King immediately upon seeing the ad. It's just a simple branding and influencing campaign.

Yeah lower rent because the property isn't worth as much the further you get away from the city. Higher wage gap because of people that want to live well and can afford it will live in the city while people who can't commute but aren't wealthy will rent out a shitty apt. Cmon what are you 10?

No but i was typing out my ass. But seriously is the property really worth more or is it just artificially inflated to take advantage of those who can afford more while fucking those who cant? Ive heard a lot about areas like that with lots of vacant properties but they dont lower costs to fill them. So supply and demand isnt the culprit. The populatiin centers are democratically controlled. Just a coincidence i guess. I would think id rather commute to work while making the same money but keep my cost of living as low as possible. Thats a fucked up place there. Again, im typing out my ass and live 2500 miles away from there. Rent a 2 br 1 1/2 bath house on 4.5 acres for $425/ month. Close enough to town to say i live in town.

What lunatic would make that commute? It's 50 miles from Tracy (the closest part of the Central Valley) to Oakland (where the sign is). That's a hundred mile daily commute, adding up to about 2,100 miles per month, and about $1,100 per month at the IRS rate of about 50 cents per mile accounting for gas, maintenance and depreciation. It's also about 3-4 hours on the road in rush hour traffic, which at minimum wage adds at least another $780 to this ridiculous commute. Save that two thousand dollars per month and use it to pay most of your Oakland rent and give yourself and the poor car a break.

at minimum wage

What does it add to at $200K/year? Because the people commuting an hour each way aren't doing it to get to their McDonalds jobs, methinks.

ElectricPB ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 17:33:52 on October 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)

I went with minimum wage because I assumed the highly-paid bay area tech employees were smart enough to figure out that a 50 mile commute isn't economical.

dnew ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 17:35:49 on October 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)

It's far more economical when you are making $200K/year than minimum wage. There are numerous (several dozens) people in my office that commute from San Diego to Los Angeles, which is 70+ miles and takes 2 hours at rush hour.

It's more economical than uprooting your life to live in a way over-priced house there.

If LA rents were $2,000 more than SD rents your friends might have an excuse. But they're actually pretty close. I'm guessing their families miss them a lot when they're on the road for 5 hours every day, in addition to the time they're at work. They'd be better off moving to a slightly smaller house in LA and seeing their parents every day.

LA and SD are the first and second largest cities in the largest state in the richest country on Earth. I'm going out on a limb here, but I'm guessing these people and their wives all have jobs with equivalents in both cities. Why would you work in LA if you know you have to live in SD?

dnew ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 22:53:50 on October 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)

Why would you work in LA if you know you have to live in SD?

Well, I can talk about my situation.

We moved to SD. We bought a house walking distance from where my job was, and maybe 10 minutes from where my wife's job wound up being. She's been at her job 20 years and has an executive position. I've been working at start-ups all over the city. Then I took a job at Google in Irvine (which is close enough to LA to call it LA) 72 miles away. I, personally, got a place up in Irvine too, so I only commute once a week normally. There was no Google office in San Diego.

Basically, shit happens. No matter how well you plan, you can wind up being somewhere far away from where you want to be.

Democrats have no idea what liberalism is.

Democrats are Republican-lite, and conservatives who think they're "commies" or "socialists" haven't paid any attention.

We also assess Putin and the Russian Government aspired to help President-elect Trumpโ€™s election chances when possible by discrediting Secretary Clinton and publicly contrasting her unfavorably to him. All three agencies agree with this judgment. CIA and FBI have high confidence in this judgment; NSA has moderate confidence.

Moscowโ€™s approach evolved over the course of the campaign based on Russiaโ€™s understanding of the electoral prospects of the two main candidates. When it appeared to Moscow that Secretary Clinton was likely to win the election, the Russian influence campaign began to focus more on undermining her future presidency

Yes, a billboard suggesting that a President who is under major investigation for colluding with a foreign government and fsm knows how many other crimes (his family and associates as well) should be impeached-is EXACTLY akin to racist and Islamophobic based actual real lies about President Obama.

No. It's not akin to that. This is fundraising for a liberal group and far less mean than the characterization you're describing.

Put up a billboard of Trump groveling to Putin and you'd have an equivalence.

The concept of irony is lost on you isn't it? You're posting some meme that's been ctrl c + v'd so many times, repeating the same boring talking points about "liberul media it's all rigged against us, we're the only REAL thinkers!" while you parrot Breitbart and Fox News. All the while you're crying for unity while decrying the left and saying they're all "stupid liberals." Isn't it a little telling if universities and agencies and the majority of everything else is saying something different than you? Oh, but I guess you're like some sort of modern Copernicus or some shit (laughable).

The majority of news here in the US is actually split 50/50 and owned by 6 major corporations. You should probably do a little bit of research (like the CEO of Comcast hosting the 2000 RNC, and I guess Rupert and James Murdoch are Democrats now or something?). For a while media watchdog groups have reported that the majority of journalists are actually centrist, but I guess if you're so far right that becomes liberal doesn't it? I mean for FFS, what are you going to say next? ESPN is a liberal conspiracy too? Come off it.

The message here, folks, is that this simple billboard that takes two seconds to read as you drive past is not enough to convince anyone of anything other than giving a target for those of us who push back on being told what to do regardless of what the position is.

It doesn't matter what your political position is. I'm a senior level dev in the marketing world. This is literally my day job. Things that are this on-the-nose have push back. Whether you agree with the principle or not is irrelevant. Basic human psychology is what it is.

Yeah, I mean you wouldn't know it from the mainstream media, but aside from some high-profile boondoggles surrounding healthcare they've been reasonably productive.

Example: Trump signed more bills in his first 100 days than any president since Harry Truman which even Politifact admitted was true.

None of them individually were earth-shattering, but the road to sustainable 3%+ growth isn't paved with one giant partisan hyped megabill, it's paved with small instances of good governance that add up in aggregate.

I did hear on NPR that what your saying is correct. That Trump has been "quietly productive" in that he has been signing a lot of legislation people have not been paying attention to. However I concerned that his attitude towards regulations, although good for business in the short term might be bad in the long term.

However I concerned that his attitude towards regulations, although good for business in the short term might be bad in the long term.

I mean it's something to take with a grain of salt when you see a hostile news story about it, because the MSM is heavily biased and willing to run fake news.

Case and point, last December/January right before the transition Obama signed into action a laundry list of environmental regulations that we're frankly retarded in the demands they asked of companies, particularly the energy sector.

Now Obama is a smart man, he knows what those measures would do to the economy, which is why he didn't do them for 8 years until the last hours of his presidency to sign them knowing that Trump would immediately toss them all, and thus feed into the narrative of Trump stripping away Vita protections and rah rah rah.

The fact that those CRITICAL ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTIONS were so critical they didn't exist until 2 weeks before Trump's inauguration gets left out of the fake news cycle.

Is it really the "vocal minority" if his approval ratings are so low?

Andrew5329 ยท 4 points ยท Posted at 17:19:16 on October 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)

I mean his approval rating in the tracking polls have hovered about 45% the last few weeks, which is pretty much flush up with the 46% of the vote he won in the general election.

A Tracking poll differs from a Traditional poll in that they start with a demographic pool that reflects the actual results of the election (46.1% Trump, 48.2% Clinton, 5.7% 3rd party, and then poll from that set pool of voters (so as a participant you might get called every month or two, since the pollsters only call a fraction of the pool in a given week.

Those polls tend to be much more accurate for something like Job approval ratings because you're tracking a actual change in voter opinion rather than which side is more chimped out by [insert outrage of the week] and willing to answer phone calls.

I mean it makes sense. DC votes like 95%+ democrat, and the surrounding counties in Maryland and Virginia are heavily democrat as well.

When the majority of Trump supporting areas are hundreds of miles away, the supporters are much less likely to travel to an event that takes a few hours.

Most of the 'reputable' pollsters will include information about the demographics polled behind a hyperlink at the bottom of the page.

For half the polls you saw during the election the actual demographic surveyed was 50% self-described democrat, 30% self-described Republican, and 15% self-described independant.

Not terribly surprising then when that poll shows a 10 point lead for Hillary.

And ask 100 of these people and 99 of them will think that impeachment means "remove from office". Impeachment is just the House bringing charges, the Senate has to convict by a two-thirds majority.

Bill Clinton was impeached. The Senate acquitted.

Even before the proceedings started the news was already filled with segments describing exactly how impeachment proceedings work, how the voting to convict works, etc. Then the House did vote to impeach and there were lots of news segments on what the Senate then needed to do and so on.

Impeachment is a process by which a president is charged with committing a criminal offense.

Impeachment does NOT mean that a president is removed from office, though the traditional expectation is that a president would resign his position.

Andrew Johnson was impeached for removing a cabinet member that he wasn't allowed to, and was acquitted. William Clinton was impeached for perjury and obstruction, and was also acquitted (although he later essentiallu admitted to committing perjury). Richard Nixon resigned his office prior to being impeached on charges of obstruction, and most political experts would agree that he likely would have been found guilty for his actions in watergate.

Impeachment is not a process to remove a sitting president by mob rule. It is a legislative action to criminally charge a president for committing some criminal offense

Lyman Trumbull, one of the few Republican Senators to vote against the impeachment of Andrew Johnson (a very unpopular decision, since Johnson was an unpopular president) had a very profound reason for voting to acquit. Basically, he knew the reason for impeachment was political in motivation and not actual criminal (the matter would later be resolved by the Supreme Court, in Johnson's favor). He put it thusly:

Once set the example of impeaching a President for what, when the excitement of the hour shall have subsided, will be regarded as insufficient causes, as several of those now alleged against the President were decided to be by the House of Representatives only a few months since, and no future President will be safe who happens to differ with a majority of the House and two thirds of the Senate on any measure deemed by them important, particularly if of a political character. Blinded by partisan zeal, with such an example before them, they will not scruple to remove out of the way any obstacle to the accomplishment of their purposes, and what then becomes of the checks and balances of the Constitution, so carefully devised and so vital to its perpetuity? They are all gone.

Basically, while we typically think of the Congress as a check on the President, we cannot forget the President is also meant to be a check on the Congress. It would utterly nullify the position altogether if the President can be impeached for being unpopular, or holding political opinion contrary to that of the Congress. The precedent would then be set: whosoever controls Congress holds the Presidency by its neck, which is wholly unacceptable in the institution of our democracy.

Calling for his impeachment because he's unpopular, because of an unfinished investigation, because a majority of Congress disagrees with him... it's a deathblow to the carefully crafted principles of our democracy.

"High Crimes and Misdemeanors" actually has a specific legal definition, which includes offenses unique to being in office. It's based upon the principle that someone holding public office should be held to a higher standard than the general public. Dereliction of duty or incompetence in office is actually sufficient for impeachment. (You can get more details about historical use of this term via wikipedia and the sources it cites).

That being said, by precedent in the US, it is more an option of last resort and not to be used as a political tool, so very valid to argue it is not appropriate to do so at this time. But, technically, it would be quite easy to come up with grounds for the impeachment, it would just be more political in nature.

CookiesOrDeath ยท 0 points ยท Posted at 17:10:25 on October 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)

For Trump specifically, there are various plausible constitutional causes for beginning an impeachment process (not to say these reasons would be morally valid, or not- I only want to comment on constitutionality here). "Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanours" is the relevant phrase. If it could be proved that Trump had collaborated with Russians during the election, that could ground a charge. So too could proof of bribery, or similar impropriety.

Obviously perjury is sufficient. High Crimes and Misdemeanours is framed broadly on purpose, to allow for congressional discretion on impeachments; but at least, it would cover things like dereliction of duty, an abdication of basic roles of the office, and the circumvention of justice or the constitution (no, "high crimes" does not just mean really bad crimes), in some way.

Trump may have done nothing impeachment-worthy. Even if he has, it's unlikely that a Republican House would make moves to impeach him. This is all just to say, it isn't like there are no possible grounds for impeachment.

squirrelbomb ยท 6 points ยท Posted at 17:07:45 on October 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)

That's close but not quite correct.

The president may be impeached by the House and then convicted by the Senate for "High Crimes and Misdemeanors", an 18th century legal term that does not require a codified criminal offense. Dereliction of duty or incompetence in office is actually enough to satisfy this term. Furthermore, if convicted in the Senate, the president actually is thrown out of office.

That being said, by longstanding precedent, impeachment is done only in rather extreme cases with actual codified criminal conduct, and no conviction has happened of a president due to resignation (Richard Nixon), or acquittal by the Senate (Andrew Johnson).

SchuminWeb ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 17:16:55 on October 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)

Impeachment does NOT mean that a president is removed from office, though the traditional expectation is that a president would resign his position.

Since when was that the case? History has shown us that presidents that are confident that they will survive impeachment won't resign, and Nixon did an end run around the process, resigning before they could impeach him.

Honestly, I doubt that a president ever gets removed from office, at least in our lifetimes. The ones that know that they will survive it will carry on business as usual, and then the ones that know that they're cooked will follow the Nixon precedent and resign before impeachment happens.

It is a legislative action to criminally charge a president for committing some criminal offense

Impeachment is not a criminal proceeding. The standard is "high crimes and misdemeanors", but all impeachment does is remove the person from office. You would then have to go after them criminally in a separate process once they're out of office.

A textbook case of this was with Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich. He was accused of wrongdoing relating to his efforts to fill Barack Obama's old Senate seat, impeached, convicted, and removed. Once he was out of office, he was criminally prosecuted and then sent to prison.

Actually, this isn't quite right. A President's actions being criminal do not make those actions necessary or sufficient for impeachment.

Why criminality is unnecessary: There are plenty of causes for impeachment (violation of the emoluments clause, "dereliction of duty", i.e.. a failure to carry out basic functions of the office) which have nothing to do with the actions in question being criminal (indeed, a President could be impeached without doing a single thing which could ever land them in prison).

Why it's insufficient: Presidents can commit any number of crimes which they realistically can't, or at very least won't, be impeached for (different standards of proof, and impeachment is meant to serve a different purpose to standard criminal proceedings). A President could be impeached for theft, or arson, or any ol' crime- but this isn't how the instrument of impeachment has been standardly used in the past.

Importantly, impeachment need not, and often will not, involve "criminal charges" being filed against the official being impeached.

This is pretty misleading. Impeachment is the start of a process that will remove the official from office if successful. There is no expectation that one resigns upon being impeached by the House. Like you say, only 1/3 of those who have gotten to that point have resigned.

The House of Representatives has to vote for impeachment. Then the Senate votes on if the President is removed. It's a two thirds majority vote so it's not easy at all to do

I personally don't think anything will come of the Mueller investigation, but if there's anything even remotely significant they've found, we almost certainly wouldn't know about it right now. I strongly doubt any real information will be leaked from a critical FBI investigation. Just because Trump has incompetent white house staff that despise him enough to leak things doesn't mean that the same kind of people work in the upper levels of the FBI.

Pretty much since the beginning of Mueller's investigation they were banging on about the fact that there will not be any leaks coming from it. He is working only with responsible, trusted professionals. There are no intern yahoos to leak anything there. As it should be.

As much as I would love for Mueller to find something to kick him out of office, I'm sure he won't. Mueller is shooting himself in the foot limiting his investigation to Russia. Sure Russia does have a cyber-intelligence team, and always did, but I don't believe they are much worse than any other countries. There are more than enough Trump-obsessed Americans and alt-right groups from all over the world that does a much better job at promoting Trump ideologies and manipulating public opinion than the Russians.

Sure, if we live in a vacuum where historical context means nothing, then the fact that he hasn't filed this year would be significant.

However, we live in the real world, where Trump made no real effort to sever ties to his businesses before taking office, and thus we have no way of knowing whether or not his decisions are in the best interest of the American people, or in the best interests of his own personal gain.

Andrew5329 ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 17:52:58 on October 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)

I mean your analysis is off because unlike the left the GOP is three dimensional.

Pence is a "hard line" conservative so far as gender politics, abortion, and all the "morals" stuff which are important to the religious right, but he's very centrist when it comes to fiscal policy, a lot of the economic policy, and even regarding welfare.

Believe it or not, the Religious Right actually leans pretty far left in terms of the welfare state because a large part of the doctrine is Christian Charity and caring for those less fortunate. They just separate over the left over a wedge issue they have no room to compromise on, Abortion.

Which is why every idiot pundit talking about religious folks abandoning Trump was an idiot. When you're told to choose between a Potty-Mouth and someone who campaigns on Killing Babies, the Potty-Mouth will win out over Baby-Killer.

Trump on the other hand is a Manhattan liberal when it comes to stuff like LGBTQSTFUAJPG+ rights and aside from acting like a boor with Billy Bush, he's lived his principals as a business leader advancing the role of Women in the workforce. In the grand scheme of things it's relatively small potatoes, but the woman he hired in 1980 to build the original Trump Tower was the first woman ever put in charge of a construction project of that scale. It was pretty bold for it's time.

But on the flip side Trump has tendencies twoards libertarian isolationism regarding the military, but he also breaks dramatically from that camp on the issue of Trade and economic protectionism where he draws a surprising commonality with Sanders.

Shit ain't black and white, but a President Pence would basically just be a generic centrist Republican President, the type like Bush who'll get us entangled overseas.

As one example, look at what Pence's ridiculous religious views and his governorship did to Indiana's women's health choices.

Such a stupid fucking system. If, for example, a foreign nation actually infiltrated our government to get one side elected and we proved it undeniably only one guy at a time gets removed through a lengthy process that will eventually end at a point where someone down the line of succession is probably apart of the corruption but we cant prove it well enough.

Honestly it makes zero sense that Dems and Republicans dont try this every year since its very low consequence with high rewards. Regardless of anything going on right now we need a fucking amendment where if something like this was to happen and its proven that a side committed treason to win then we do something really crazy and radical like hold a new and fair election...

The system was put in place to prevent succession crises should something happen to a large part of the executive after it was revealed that John Wilkes Booth had tried to eliminate the entire line of succession (three people at the time).

Trump has played so much fucking golf that the secret service is running out of money. He's spent 67 days so far playing golf. The year isn't even over yet.

He played golf last weekend, while millions of American citizens in Puerto Rico are doing without food and water. He is literally playing golf as we speak.

This is simply not a worthwhile comparison. It's not even in the same ballpark.

I think most people are hoping the impeachment will come in tandem with criminal charges from the Mueller investigation. Where, if found guilty, the entire election result will be deemed invalid. meaning no one in the line of succession becomes president.......what happens in that event is anyone's guess as it's never happened and it's not something assessed in the constitution.

[deleted] ยท 7 points ยท Posted at 16:33:11 on October 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)

Where, if found guilty, the entire election result will be deemed invalid.

Not remotely how that would work. There is absolutely nothing that would support an outcome that looked like that. Awful as it sounds, winning because a foreign power influenced the election is not illegal. Treason, sure, but the election itself would still be valid unless they found evidence the actual votes themselves were fucked with. In which case it would go back to the states to recertify their vote tallies or not. But that just won't happen, if there was widespread evidence it would've appeared already. Best, if there is evidence of collusion between Trump and Russia then Trump resigns/gets impeached, then Pence probably resigns to avoid the same shame, then Paul Ryan becomes President. Paul Ryan would not have any connection whatsoever to the collusion, and there'd be no valid reason not to have him assume the presidency.

Obstruction of justice is a legitimate argument considering I watched him admit to it on national television.

imnotmarvin ยท 5 points ยท Posted at 15:42:25 on October 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)

The problem with that track is you have to prove that Trump KNEW it was wrong and did it anyway. To be guilty of obstruction you can't only have obstructed, you have to have "corruptly" obstructed. It would not be hard to argue that Trump thought he was doing a good thing. To be clear, I'm not making that argument but all the people who claim he's either nuts or an idiot also want to be able to say he is smart enough to plan that obstruction and the two arguments don't jive with each other. I believe that's why we haven't seen a formal charge of obstruction yet. Some publication did an article on the "corrupt" angle of obstruction that explained it really well. If I can find it, I'll edit the post with a link.

I'd definitely be interested in reading that if you can find it. If he's crazy or such an idiot that he didn't realize what he was doing, then that would make make him unfit for office wouldn't it? Either way it seems that there would be grounds for impeachment.

And that is the means that I figure he might eventually be removed, not for any corruption but for demonstrating that he's unfit. He's toed the line but seems to step back just before there's enough to say genuinely batshit crazy. Updating other comment with link.

I mean, least T_D know they're hated and ostracized, but they still do what they do and just hope to not be further attacked by the reddit admins, but r/politics think they're just some news aggregate and that's it, no bias or collective hate being shown at all. It's super hypocritical of them for blaming T_D for what they essentially do the same of, least T_D has humor about it and does their best to avoid any rules breaking to prevent further action from the admins.

I routinely jump from one subreddit to the other and you get a good look at the views from both sides, allows you to see the bigger picture and get more context on events that way IMO. If you just play in either one without venturing to the other, you'll just think all the info you hear is correct, but a jump to the other side shows you how much info isn't being stated on a matter, and T_D is good at showing you all the crap being hidden over on the far left leaning subs like r/politics, like the new data collection in the privacy settings that is now set to on by default to collect your account info and give it to reddit. I wouldn't have known about that if it wasn't for T_D.

But in that same vain you gotta watch out, cause the T_D shows a ton of bias as well. I've seen Trump do some dumb shit and they'll either ignore it if they can't find anything to rebuke it, or play it off as nothing, which sometimes they're correct in because a lot of news sources such as the ones that go after Trump because he goes after them will spin a story to be sooooo much more than it really is.

In the end, you just gotta learn to build your own opinions and not let others do it for you, whether that be r/politics or T_D...

18 very outspoken liberal attorneys

In a Trump supporter's world, anyone who is willing to say anything negative about Trump at all is either a "liberal" or a "deep state actor" so I'm not surprised you'd say that.

He won't find anything

We've already found evidence of collusion, obstruction of justice, and even treason, you really don't think he'll find even more? I thought it was more likely that you'd say everything he finds is made up and fake news and attempted framing.

...we actually have the email they sent to Don Jr explicitly stating "This is the Russian government's support for your campaign".

This isn't a question of "did he collude" anymore, "was their obstruction of justice", "is it treason", it's a question of "how much" and "how big will the charges be".

No trump said he fired Comey for wasting time and resources on the Russia thing. They had made no progress and had no evidence there was even a hack. He fired comey because he felt the russia investigation progress or lack there of showed his incompetence. Comey also leaked the memos thus proving his inability to handle the position.

It was not, because the FBI was unable prove grounds for an investigation. The dossier was fake and Comey admitted that they had no grounds for the investigation because the dossier was the only evidence they had. Furthermore, firing comey would have no affect on real affect on the investigation because he primarily oversaw it, meaning the investigation would continue with or without him.

And "the investigation would continue with or without him" is not a defense. The President is not allowed to fire everyone who wants to investigate him until he gets to a subordinate that doesn't want to investigate him, and / or is not willing to risk his job to investigate.

I'm not going to do the research for you, because there isn't just one source. Watch the congressional hearings that took place prior too and after Comeys firing. One after another the responses were, we have no solid evidence, or the evidence turned out to be fake. Comey himself said that he was confident Russia had not affected the outcome of the election. Also, the FBI has not even investigated the servers that were claimed to have been hacked. Several private forensics analysts even released reports showing that the data released from the DNC could have only been done internally and would not have been able to be transferred remotely. All evidence actually points away from Trump. And as far as firing everyone who investigates him, he has had no intention of firing anyone else. He literally fired Coney because he felt he was not competent as head of the FBI. No one else investigating him was fired.

What makes you think they don't know it? It's not politically expedient for the people who can impeach him to do so. If there is no political will (read: public outcry) then even if Congress knew they had every reason to impeach, then they likely wouldn't. They care more about their seats in the next election than for the country. So if Trump isn't toxic enough yet then no matter what he has done illegal or otherwise will get him impeached. Public calls for his impeachment matter a ton in getting pressure going on the House and Senate to actually go through with the process. Essentially we need to let them know that the risky thing for keeping their seats in Congress is not attempting to impeach Trump.

The vote is not on whether the senators WANT to impeach the president. It is a vote on whether the president has committed a criminal offense, making the senate an oversized jury, if you will.

If there is no evidence of an actual crime having been committed that is discovered in an unbiased investigation that is conducted (and this is the important bit) before anything like impeachment proceeding begin, then there is simply nothing for the senate to vote on.

If your sixty-seven senators convened and voted today, then their consensus would represent nothing more than an arbitrary popularity contest.

Prosecutors use them to gather evidence, as they can compel people to testify or hand over documentation. They consider whether evidence is strong enough to issue indictments for a criminal trial. The juries do not decide the innocence or guilt of a potential defendant.

The presence or lack of evidence is less important than political control of congress. So there is no way he is getting impeached until it is convenient for the GOP.

Obstruction of justice is actually very very hard to prove. Obstruction charges have to be proven that the obstruction was intended or malicious

That's the thing about impeachment though, the regular standards don't apply. You only have to convince 67 senators to vote to convict, you don't have to meet any specific legal standard. This isn't a court.

TurboTitan92 ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 17:54:57 on October 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)

That is true. But to actually convict him for a crime is an entirely different story

Correct me if Iโ€™m dumb, but how can he obstruct justice when he literally has the power to pardon anyone?

TurboTitan92 ยท 5 points ยท Posted at 15:42:08 on October 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)

Because a presidential pardon is a power he has that he can apply to a criminal AFTER they have been convicted. The justice process still needs to take place, and if he, or anyone intentionally impedes an ongoing investigation or hides evidence, they may be charged with obstruction of justice.

In addition to what /u/TurboTitan92 said, I'll note that he can only pardon federal crimes. It's possible that Trump and his cronies have committed at least a few State crimes.

It's also an open legal question whether he can pardon himself, and there are colorable arguments that his impeachment of Arpaio's contempt conviction infringes on the rights of the Article III courts.

Thats extremely easy though. Trump fired Comey to try and stop the investigation into him. There is no denying that.

TurboTitan92 ยท 6 points ยท Posted at 16:12:16 on October 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)

I'm not defending Donald Trump, but they will need to prove that's the reason he fired Comey, be it damning evidence from emails, memos, or whatever. That's what makes it tough is while he may have impeded the investigation, they need to prove he did it intentionally in a court of law

poochyenarulez ยท 0 points ยท Posted at 16:17:58 on October 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)

Yea, just a huge coincidence that two "completely" unrelated events of Trump asking Comey to end the investigation, and then Trump firing him soon after Comey said no.

Impeachment (and removal from office) is fundamentally a political issue, so impeachment by popular consent isn't exactly a crazy thing. If 80% wanted Ttunp impeached, chances are he would be impeached even if he hasn't done anything wrong. (To be clear, I think there are a litany of things to impeach and remove him from office)

The billboard is preaching to the choir being in Oakland, CA, but if representative sstsrt feeling enough pressure from their constitutents, Trump could be impeached.

Why? You asked how does popularity influence the removal of a President from power. The answer is that since it is the House initiates the impeachment process, control of the House is ultimately a perquisite for removing Trump from power, and since Republicans probably won't, the sub-textual message of the ad is "Vote Democrat, we'll happily impeach this President because the other guys won't."

To be fair, this isn't exactly true.

We've seen the results of conservatism. The right has had their way, and it has been a spectacular failure. Trickle down obviously doesn't work, at the very least.

So people who claim to be "fiscally conservative" or actually just "conservative" are objectively wrong, if the goal to improve standard of living for every citizen, which I'd imagine should be the goal of any government.

Grillchees ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 17:52:04 on October 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)

REEEEEE this man said the trickle down economics put in place by Reagan didn't work! In the same vein as what you're saying, we know socialism doesn't work because of Venezuela, and we know communism doesn't work because of Russia and china. When indeed we can't say these blanket statements, I posted a question a few days ago to ELI5, you should give it and the comments a read.

But more on your first point though, I think you aren't acknowledging this countries great historical past, from being a renegade fringe colony to being the single most powerful nation in the world (in less than 400 years!) a lot of that success comes from right wing (today's right wing) notions of capitalism and dog eat dog mindset. I would go so far as to say it's the only reason America became a superpower, because of our unrestricted allowance of CAPITALIST companies to exist and create a working free market dictated not by the government but by the consumers needs and wants. But again, with all of that good, there is plenty of bad, like slavery, women's rights, the KKK, etc. everything has positive and negatives. And I chose to believe that our current system (well the system from Reagan specifically) is almost perfect in its execution.

That's such an empty argument though. Even if it is virtue signalling, that doesn't actually mean they're inherently wrong. It's just a meaningless buzzword that people throw around to shut down opposing viewpoints without actually engaging. Besides, almost every social interaction imaginable involves some form of virtue signalling, no matter what set of virtues one is trying to show off (including and especially if someone is loudly proclaiming that they -don't- do it).

2xedo ยท 11 points ยท Posted at 16:27:29 on October 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)

I think the point of virtue signaling is that they can't be wrong because they're not even trying to make a point. If your whole argument is "drumpf cheeto XD" or "hillary side of beef XD" I can't even call you wrong because there's nothing there in the first place. So I'm just comparing virtue signaling vs. actually putting in the time to develop a well-rounded opinion and why the first one is saturating social media and ruining any hope of political discussion

But doesnโ€™t everyone have a well-rounded opinion on the subject by now? There comes a point where further debate is almost pointless because everyone has decided how they feel. All you can do is agree to disagree. Iโ€™m pretty sure everyone on Reddit feels that way by now with how much Trump is spoken about.

Thatโ€™s just not true. To pick a random policy to prove what I mean, take Trumpโ€™s โ€œMuslim banโ€. People can go back and forth forever with arguments and counter arguments but it boils down to a difference in morals. One side believes it is important not to generalise all Muslims whilst the other believes that the small number that are a threat are enough to go through with the ban in order to protect Americans.

Neither side is stubborn in this situation.

That's a red herring. "Virtue signalling" may well be a buzzword, but it's not meaningless, nor an empty argument (or any kind of argument -- it's just a phrase). You need to look at the larger argument in which this 'buzzword' is used to understand the point being made.

The whole point about identifying "virtue signalling" is calling out this Orwellian "group think" (safe space / virtue signalling crowds) and "new speak" (speech = violence crowds). Look these terms up, I implore you. It's eerie how similar it is to what's going on today. These are very, very dangerous movements.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Groupthink https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newspeak

If you haven't read 1984, you really should consider it. The similarities to many of the alt-left (and some alt-right) groups are terrifying.

There certainly are a lot of people that seem more concerned about loudly proclaiming themselves to be right and good, and their opponents to be wrong and evil than with actually doing anything constructive. I'm more worried about the alt-right though, since it's their idol sitting in the White House ranting about how "unfair" the media is for telling people about the actual things he's said.

Really, we have to remember that these sorts of literally Orwellian views are a product not of one's political lean, but of the extremity of those views.

ar308 ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 18:53:10 on October 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)

I completely agree that these Orwellian behaviors can and do happen on both sides, but you have to admit it's presently more common on the alt-left. The alt-right is guilty of many things, but generally suppression of free speech isn't one of them. As I understand it "Fahrenheit 451" would be a better analogy to the alt-right than "1984", but I haven't read it fully yet so that's just a second hand analogy.

Maybe. They do certainly embody the xenophobia of the Party (I'm remembering a scene in 1984 where a group of foreigners were publicly executed on suspicion of being spies). I wouldn't say they're super innocent when it comes to free speech, though. They certainly make a lot of noise championing it, but when you get to places like t_d, they're quite quick to shut out opposing views, both by shouting them down as "cucks" and by just banning them.

My argument for trump boils down to, id rather have him in there than hillary. I dont like the way she carries herself and it is only reconfirmed every time she blames people, blames everyone but herself, for losing the election. He is far from a good president but i honestly believe shed be worse. People wanted a change from the establishment and she is the living embodiement of the "establishment" .

What's funny is that anyone who uses the term 'virtue signaling' is in fact, virtue signaling themselves. Yeah we get it, you've shown your virtue because you 'recognize' what virtue signaling is. It's 'virtue signaling' to me because I think the term itself has been co-opted by the alt-right and anti-SJW movement as a means of discrediting any action that makes a call out to the greater good of humanity and/or society.

Is it not trying to save one's identity? America. The great. The powerful. Is that NOT an identity? The right and left are exactly the same. This is why I find it hilarious that using the term 'virtue signaling' is in and of itself virtue signaling. And yes, you're virtue signaling by using the term 'virtue signaling'.

IMO, none of those apart from the Russia one are even close to where the birther movement was. In the south, the birther movement was pervasive. My town wasn't even that right wing and most of the kids at school (and their parents) believed it.

Among the people I know now, Russian interference and possible collusion is pretty much accepted as fact. Anything past that is a fringe belief.

You say this like the entire world isn't odd. So many people have the idea that everywhere you can't see is somehow normal. Everyone everywhere isn't normal. We pretty much have a good idea of what we need to do and what would benefit us most. But nowhere in history does anyone do it.

Heck, everything outside of King County, the counties above it like Snohomish, and the Olympic Peninsula is pretty red or at least purple. The East is definitely the reddest, but even the Vancouver area went Red, along with the usual suspects like Lewis County.

EDIT: Just looked at the map of the election by county. More of the Peninsula went red than I thought, except for where the Reservation is obviously.

There is a large and noticble problem with the USA when you look at the estimated amount of illegals in the state and that does hurt it in many ways. I care for my fellow man just as well but I also have limits to that as I am sure many do.

For one, this isn't the first time secession has been brought up in CA. Two, this current proposal was in motion before the election cycle started, it just gained traction after the election, making your "because Trump" argument null. Three, it won't ever come to pass, even if enough votes make it through ballots.

As to the secession, that was a small group that got vocal for all of 2 seconds and if you do some reading, you will see the Russians were behind that movement too.

Kind of silly for you to suggest that 10-15% of the entire country's population be bordered off due to crime and welfare, when given that high population, is actually lower per capita than many other areas of the country.

If California became its own country, it would seriously harm the United States economy, especially in the agribusiness and industrial production areas.

Exactly. The core Trump voters are still behind him. Other Republicans may not like him much but they would still back him against a Democrat onslaught. Heck, if we believe 538, even the so called โ€œreluctantโ€œ Trump voters still support him.

I'm still waiting to hear the reason that they want him impeached. Not liking his policies, and being offended by his message, are not grounds for impeachment. Also, at this point, there is no evidence of obstruction, or collusion. These billboards do nothing but cause more division, which is exactly the point. Manipulating the masses for their own gain, is the goal of the democrats, and the republicans.

During a debate in 2011, Romney said that Russia was the greatest threat to the USA geopolitically. The media mocked him, and Obama said something like; "The 80's called, and they want their foreign policy back." Everyone in the Democratic Party, and the media thought that was hilarious. Not so funny anymore? Romney sounds like Nostradamus at this point. If you believe everything that's being said now.

From the outside looking in, the Comey firing and subsequent actions by the admin is evidence of obstruction (IMO).

Ravenplague ยท 11 points ยท Posted at 17:53:36 on October 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)

The Assistant Director of the FBI, said that Comey's firing had absolutely no effect on the Russia Investigation. He said that under oath, by the way. Also, let's not forget about all of the Democrats that wanted Comey fired because of what he did in regards to Clinton. As soon as Trump fired him, they used it as supposed evidence for obstruction. Would those same people be saying the same thing if Hillary was president, and she fired Comey because she was pissed about what he did? Hillary has plenty to answer for legally, in regards to obstruction! Especially in reference to destroying email's, phones, and computers that were under subpoena by congress to probe the private server issue. Then, we have to take her husbands meeting with the Attorney General into consideration. We can't have double standards, or we are doomed as a country.

I'm going to need a link on that first claim, I could not find one that said a current AD said anything like that under oath.

We can't (or shouldn't) speculate as to what people would or would not do. However, it is awfully convenient that Trump now expects us to believe that he fired Comey because of a situation that played well for Trump during the election, to the point where he made a point of congratulating him shortly after he took office.

Note that we aren't talking about Hillary here. Whataboutism is not an argument.

"There has been no effort to impede our investigation to date. ... You cannot stop the men and women of the FBI from doing the right thing," McCabe said when Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., asked if the firing has disrupted any of the FBI's work."

I understand that, but one could also argue that pissing off the FBI is a really, really bad idea, even for the President. Collectively, the FBI would easily find a way to take him down. I have to believe that there is more integrity in the FBI than for them to completely walk away from an investigation due to political pressure, especially when the bosses boss is a suspect.

Agreed. This is just a reason why he shouldn't have done it and said "I did it because of the Russia thing" on live TV. Sometimes it's just about optics and the appearance of an impartial investigation.

I agree with you about the optics, they're terrible. It's too bad that more people can't have rational discussions about politics, just like we did. I really believe most people in this country aren't really partisan at all. They just want their government to work efficiently, ethically, lawfully, and to keep them safe. There are small, vocal pockets of partisan hacks on the left AND the right, that thrive from causing division among the rest of us. Hopefully, all of the investigations are impartial, and are not affected by those loud voices on either side.

Let's not forget the "bombshell" tax return that Rachel Maddow had, and it showed that Trump paid a higher tax rate than Obama and Sanders did! There is absolutely no evidence of Russian "collusion," just media fervor that is proven wrong, time after time. The mainstream media has an agenda. Divide and anger people.

If you dig deep enough into any billionaire, you're going to find things that are disgusting to the rest of us. If the guy broke the law, he should, and will pay. Remember, this all started out as supposed collusion with Russia, of which there is no proof. If Hillary was president, would the media be looking into the Clinton Foundation as aggressively?

Well if Hillary were president, then Congress would heavily be investigating her 'email' scandal.

And if Hillary were president, she would be like a normal president who had released her tax returns.

I think there should be no double standard: Trump should release his tax returns.

I think there should be no double standard: If having a private email server is a crime that cost Hillary the election than all of the Trump administration aides who use private email servers should also be investigated: https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2017/09/the-brazenness-of-jared-and-ivankas-personal-email-server/541017/

In actuality I don't think using a private email service instead of an official government one that has lousy features is a big deal, and the email 'scandal' was blown all out of proportion.

Ravenplague ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 22:23:58 on October 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)

I agree. He should release his tax returns. Also, if people in his administration are using private servers, that should be investigated as well. However, the Hillary email situation wasn't really blown too far out of proportion. She was the Secretary of State, a 2 time presidential candidate, and First Lady. Every foreign intelligence agency probably targeted those servers. Obviously, the servers were penetrated.

Collusion with a hostile foreign power to influence a U.S. election. Obstruction of Justice. And blatant violation of the emoluments clause of the constitution.

The only reason he hasn't been impeached is because his party holds both chambers of congress.

That's absolutely absurd. There is NO proof of collusion, and no obstruction of justice. There has been no violation of the emoluments clause either. I think you've been listening to Maxine Waters too much. Most mainstream Republicans hate Trump just as much as Democrats do, so if there was something there, many Republicans would love to remove him as well. Please provide your proof of collusion, other than what the media has told you. In this case, he's guilty until proven innocent. Hillary Clinton IS actually guilty of obstruction of justice. I'm neither Republican or Democrat, by the way. They are both corrupt parties. What were his impeachable offenses, prior to taking office? You have to be IN office before you can be removed from it!

Sorry laddie, but like my battles I know my constitutional rights, and there's not a single sign in the lot that advertises my blog. And the Constitution means I can use public property for the posting of any and all political opinion except for the advocation of violence or violent overthrow of the existing government. And, as you yourself just pointed out, so can everybody else. Commercial speech is not protected by the First Amendment, and even if I did advertise my blog by name it wouldn't run afoul of the law. I'm sorry to be so blunt here, but what makes you think you could possibly know more about First Amendment law than a guy who's been pushing that precise envelope for as long as I have?

Actually unless you received a permit you're not doing this legally. The freedom you're talking about cannot be infringed, that doesn't mean that it can't be regulated. And I'm pretty sure the Bill of Rights was penned after Valley Forge so I don't see how that's temporally possible.

Nope. Because there are separate laws prohibiting dumping waste, under which the chemical companies would be liable. Just as if my signs were in any way permanent, like using adhesives, or graffiti, they would be subject to prosecution under vandalism statutes. Since I use bungee cords to simply (and very, very quickly) attach the signs to fencing, I'm entirely in the clear.

Republicans have a 23 vote majority in the House of Representatives. 15 of California's representatives are Republicans. Trump only won 31.62% of the vote in California in 2016, and today he's polling around 25% in the state. The point of the ad is to tie California Republicans to the Trump Presidency, and get voters to vote against their Republican representatives to improve Democratic chances of taking back the House where they will presumably begin impeachment proceedings that Republicans won't be willing to start.

Actually a lot of Republican voters and some Republican politicians WILL support the impeachment of their own president if he does something egregious enough.

Both major parties are full of a mix of people. You can bet there are a lot of Republicans that have been doing a lot of face-palming since the election.

If they truly believe Trump should not be in the Presidency and they feel responsible to their country and, in the case of the politicians, their constituents, with enough evidence for an impeachment, they will potentially support that impeachment, or at least not do everything in their power to block it. Their ethical sense will demand it.

I really wish all those useless people that threatened to leave (but make too much to actually follow through) and go to Canada would actually do it. If you watch the mainstream media (horribly biased) you only get the bad. Ive given up on all the newspapers and mainstream media because they have not had one single positive article in over a year around here. Its always "THE SKY IS FALLING!!!!!" and its stupid. Outside of political stonewalling and all the bitching and moaning you see in the media things are going fine and forward well. If you look at California, Detroit, Chicago, probably some Colorado and Washington you will see shit falling apart but nobody is reporting on that. Even in Oregon our government is falling apart. Our governor is a loony that has no regard for any processes or constituents and is pushing bills and laws at will. We dont have sales tax. We have an extremely strong cycling community along with a high level or enviromental awareness and loony brown has now passed a bill to tax the sales of bicycles! So now that people have decided to not drive a car they get taxed for that too. We have a gun confiscation bill too. I can literally call up the state police and leaf through the phone book for a random name and give them that. Now that person will have the staters at their house forcefully confiscating their legally owned items and they have no way to fight it. Remind you of something done in Germany back in the dark days of WW2? We have almost $2 billion being overspent and now we brown wants to raise our taxes, tax hospitals more, and increase the cost of heath insurance with a tax. Hell, brown wanted to put a $1000 tax per 5 years over on all vehicles in the state over 20 years old. Most of the state owns older vehicles because we cant afford a new ones let along the tax!

Thats the stuff you need to pay attention to.

Lmao But we both know that you have no idea what our taxes are. I pay 0% income tax. Never have. My context changes things because im a young student but our taxes are reasonable.

But your people tell you that our taxes must be bad despite the lack of complaints from us.

The problem you have is that your politicians are far more corrupt and waste your tax money on things like the military and contracts for their connected friends. So you think it happens everywhere.

Not sure why you wouldn't like our healthcare. It needs improvement but it actually keeps us alive and doesn't bankrupt anyone.

And our gun laws arent ideal, but Ive shot a handgun and its possible to own one. But we dont need guns for protection because our country isnt flooded with guns. Its a cycle really. What entitles people to own deadly weapons anyways? (Guns also drive up the suicide rate)

Seriously whats wrong with my healthcare? I have a free family doctor and I get into the ER quick and never have to decide between my wallet and my life. Its sad that you are being served a dog turd and convinced its swiss fudge.

You pay your taxes in other ways. You always will be it sales tax, property taxes, income taxes, etc. I pay roughly 30% of my income to BS taxes because I'm single, no dependants and have a job. I paid the same while in college. I pay no property tac as I am not yet a home owner but the properly I'm looking at is about $1200/year in taxes which sucks but isn't too terrible for the area that is usually $2k+. I pay no sales tax. My state is awesome that way bit everyone wants a hand in your pocket.

Our politicians so suck. Not going to like when I say if they were all on a boat that sank I wouldn't be all that sad. Our government is highly inefficient. Ive been waiting over 11 months for a background check that cost me $200. They took their money the day it arrived but I havnt gotten my paperwork yet. I work in a sector that supply's certain things to government and high end consumers.

I have no need to pay for everyone else's health care plus mine that I don't even use. Last time I was in the hospital I was being born.

Your gun laws generally suck with some really weird and cool exemptions. The fact you say you have shot a gun be fore and it is possible to own one makes me sad. Here if you can pass an instant background check (some states have a wait) you can own a handgun, shotgun or rifle of you choice. Shorter than 16" barrels and 18" barrels on shotguns are controlled under the NFA as well as machine guns and suppressors yet still legal to own. Just takes up to a year for them to get around to your paperwork. The ban of machine guns made after 1986 (even if the parts are made before 1986 and not assembled or the parts are exactly the same as a pre-ban) has artificially blown the value out of the water. Easy to drop $100k on a gun that as a licenses manufacturer or FFL it $600 just because of when it was made. Not sure where you get your crime info as it is completely backwards to how the USA works. Areas with strict laws or total bans generally have higher crime. Look at California, Detroit, Chicago and DC. High levels of laws against ownership with the highest gun crime in the country. Guns do rank far far below other means of injury, death and murder than things like hammers and baseball bats. Cars out strip guns in injury and death many many times over. What entitles me to own one? What entities people to say I cannot own one? For me they are a hobby. I design and build them as a hobby. I shoot competition. I run competitions. Its a great bonding tool. Its how I became close to my dad. There is just something satisfying about putting a good group on paper at long range, controlling breathing and movement and blocking out the rest of the world for a few seconds. Something satisfying about hearing round hit steel in quick succession. Something satisfying about the grin on the face of the guy I am running the range for.

You can have the defectors. The more that go to you the more this country will go back to not needing to put a warning that hot coffee might be hot.

Well im not sure what the tax comparison would be but it never seems like too much here. Also I notice the terrible infrastructure as soon as I cross the border. Our taxes do much more then even provide good healthcare. And there seems to be a general consensus that our healthcare still costs less per person through taxes than what Americans pay.

I just disagree about wanting to pay others health care bills. I would hate to think that people around me cant get help when they need it. What about kids? Do they get free health care? I cant even imagine the stress of running out of money and having to cancel your health insurance. It seems callous to say that other peoples sickness and injuries are their own problem. Its usually random chance.

And you realize that your gun controls are waaay to lax, right? Like your citizens literally buy auto weapons and walk into a movie theatre to shoot people up. Thats largely preventable with better gun control. Not only that but your fucking guns make it over here to Canada and cause us problems. The producers know that many end up illegal but they dont care cause 'Murica.

Near me we had a girl stab a couple people a few hears back. There was proof that she tried for a while to get a gun but couldn't. Because Canada.

Haha! The gun laws here are still pretty strict compared to some countries. You do realize not a single legal machine gun has been used in a crime since the 1930s. Its not the legally owned stuff that is the problem. Anti gun laws only mean the criminals now have access to guns. Again, look at places like Oakland, Chicago and DC. Machine guns are 100% illegal in CA for civilians but its not uncommon to hear automatic fire in Oakland. Right there is gun control at its finest.

You sound horribly misinformed. You need to spend some time down here and learn our culture. Firearms are part of our culture. This country makes some of the best in the world and is responsible for a majority of the evolution of the gun. You can still own what ever gun you want as long as your pockets are deep enough and you are prepared to wait long enough. Like I said, 11 months for some paperwork to be able to protect my hearing. Its the exact same device as you buy over the counter like some gum in the UK.

Your stabbing that happened, that's a people problem. Do you blame the knife? If it were a firearm people would be blaming that and not the person. The knife and the gun are merely tools and when used improperly and unsafely can cause harm. Merely pieces of metal. Japan has stabbings. Nobody can defend themselves so it goes on for a while. It suck. Its not right.

Its all right here. Legally owned assault rifle. Idk what qualifies a gun as a machine gun but the AR15 is not a personal self defense weapons. Unless everyone else has one too. Why the fuck does anyone need an assault rifle?

My stabbing example speaks for itself. Sure the knife was just a tool but it changed the body count from probably a dozen to zero. If it was a firearm we dont 'blame the gun' thats ucking stupid. We blame the gun laws which should be preventative. If every citizen could launch an A-bomb would you blame the citizen for launching it? No you blame the asshat who gave a random civilian the ability to use the bomb

deerhurst ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 17:38:20 on October 2, 2017 ยท (Permalink)

Assault rifle is a machine gun. Assault rifle is select fire with semi auto, full auto and fires an intermediate cartridge. An AR15 (Armalite Rifle Model 15) is NOT an assault rifle as it is semi auto only. No different than a 10/22 or an M1 Garand in that matter. It is a completely viable defense weapon, why do you think the military of many countries uses the M16? Its easy enough that children have used it to defend themselves from home invasions. The round has decent ballistics while transferring enough energy to a soft target. I use one for competition if I don't use an AK that day.

You need to learn terminology. Assault rifle == Machine gun. AR15 /= assault rifle. Just because it looks different doesn't make it any more dangerous than any other semi auto firearm.

We blame laws and items, not people. Education makes people smarter and less likely to do stupid stuff. Laws don't fix everything. They hardly help most of the time. Come to my town. Half the time we open carry what ever we please and the rest conceal carry. Our crime rate is very very low. We all have the tools and respect them for what they are. We know how to be safe with them and what to do and not to do with them. If you are not a deer or an elk or a turkey you have nothing to worry about here. I can leave my house wide open while I go to work and not have any issues. I have accidentally done just that a lot!

I think they will. Democrats will be hitting every politician with Trump during the midterms. Trump's a problem for them. And they must know if there's any fire with the Russian collusion. So if it's going to happen anyway, they might as well make it look like they took charge of it and made it happen. Plus they'd probably prefer having Pence in as President anyway. But if they do it too early, then the democrats will just hit them with Pence when he starts implementing his religious right agenda. So timing is important. I think they want to impeach him right around March of 2018. This way they get rid of Trump early enough to get rid of the stink, but not to early for the honeymoon period with trump. I think the reason Kelly is in there was for Pence to take over.

I agree with you. I do think the Republicans need to take more principled stances though and not let abhorrent behavior slide. It's diminishing the office of the Presidency. It's the first time in my life where I've felt a President from either party isn't a "good person", for all the subjectivity that comes along with that statement.

I can quibble with anyone particular politician's policies or even despise them, but having a President to actually serve all the American people seems to be a core component of the job.

Since I am a foreigner, I am not aware about lots of subtle issues inherent in the US politics. So apologies if some of my questions sound naive.

i) Why do you even expect Republicans to impeach him? He was selected by Republicans to run for presidency. He was then elected by US as the president. He was legitimately elected. And despite him being involved in lots of shady thing, no wrong doing has been proven yet (Though may be proven later). You don't impeach a president because you hate him.

ii) I have heard from lots of people that they felt both of the candidates were bad. I can see why Trump is abhorrent but what was so bad about Hillary? I mean so bad that you elected Trump. Is she even worse than Bush?

[deleted] ยท 14 points ยท Posted at 13:49:25 on October 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)

Hillary has been in politics a long time, so she has a lot of dirty laundry for people to bring up. She flips her position on issues to cater to whatever crowd she's speaking to. She's on video speaking at a dinner for Wall Street bankers, saying she has a public opinion and a private one. She basically said she's a republican acting like a democrat. That's what she told rich people, but when she's speaking to the public, she claims she's for the working man. She claims she stands up for minorities, but she's on tape from the 90s saying americas black youth need to be "brought to heel". She claims she's for marriage equality, but in her 2008 campaign, she claimed she believed marriage was for one man and one woman. Her flip-flopping on the issues makes her a candidate people couldn't trust. On top of all that, there was the really shady situation with the DNC election. It was Hillary versus Bernie Sanders. Hillary won, when most people thought Bernie would. After Hillary won, Debbie W Schultz immediately left the DNC and started working for Hillary. This suggests there was some foul play and that Hillary cheated or bought the nomination. A group of voters tried to sue the DNC for the unfair election, but a judge threw it out. What's really interesting is the DNCs defense lawyers came out and said the DNC was a private organization and had no legal obligation to provide fair elections. They also said what happens behind their closed doors was none of their voters business. That was really a slap in the face to everyone who votes democrat. Now Hillary has released a book, in which she has created her own version of the events. She blames everyone else for her failure, and accepts very little of the blame herself. Donald Trump ran on an antiestablishment platform. Hillary is the very definition of establishment politics and corruption. People didn't really know what Trump's political views were because he isn't a politician. He picked up a lot of votes from people who simply didn't want Hillary. Hillary has ran for president before, and lost to the new guy both times. She's simply unelectable. Had she not cheated Bernie out of the nomination, he would likely be president instead of our orange muppet.

1) I was agreeing that the Republicans would not impeach him; I don't think there is current reason yet to do so either (it may occur after Mueller's investigation concludes, but I doubt it). I was suggesting that politicians of both parties should take more principled stands... e.g don't support white supremacists, don't belittle Americans in disaster areas, that kind of simple stuff.

2) I personally would have taken any other candidate other than Trump of either party. Why? Because I'm from the Northeast and Trump's personality and personal actions have been recorded publicly since the 1980s: I view him as egocentric and self-serving, he's not a public servant. The Republican primary field was too big, and let him emerge. It conveniently also divided the party for a long enough time to give Trump the right balance of primary votes.

I personally believe Hillary lost because it was a change election; the Democrats have not held three terms consecutively since Franklin Roosevelt (1940s). It's rare for Republicans too (George Bush after Reagan is the only one that comes to mind). People will argue over the reasons why Hillary lost, but any election is a complex scenario - with no single root cause. AND... I don't know if living in the past is as important (re-arguing the election) as it is determining the direction for the country now and the future.

There is evidence of hacking in several states' election processes, so SOMEONE interfered in the election. So far all signs point to Russia being behind it.

I think the point, in Oakland, is to acknowledge that the "Trump effect" is real and as a community we reject it. I've been creeped out by incidental racism, even in the Bay Area, a lot more frequently in the last year, and I see a lot of mentions that this is happening all over the country.

That being said, the billboard isn't exactly making that point. I expect it is more an expression of anger and outrage. Is it working? Well - maybe not a lot. But right now we're discussing it, so I guess that's something.

I'm also somewhat cynical of billboards as an approach to any messaging campaign, but I'm not sure this is any more or less effective than a McDonald's ad, and there's a lot of those.

Here's a fun question to ask the deplorables.

What has Trump done to earn your support?

3 rules for the answer.

No mention of Obama/Clinton.

No leaning on campaign promises that have failed/haven't been attempted.

No negative things. Purely positive.

They will undoubtedly be unable to answer, which leaves you with the real answer. He's a trashy, ignorant racist and they see themselves in him.

X_Vector ยท 4 points ยท Posted at 18:33:51 on October 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)

I'm pro-Israel and pro-strict immigration laws and so is he.

That's 1.

Without the speech he gave at the UN conference, China would probably still be doing business with NoKo.

That's 2.

What he has done as a human being: he caught wind that a member of his police escort was injured in a vehicle accident during the trip to the airport and REFUSED to depart until he personally call the officer to ask if he was doing well.

Those are just 3 things that he has done to earn my support.

Jaytalvapes ยท -1 points ยท Posted at 18:51:10 on October 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)

Except he's not for "strong immigration reform," he's for racism and hatred. If it was about protecting us, his Muslim ban would have targeted countries that actually export terrorism.

H somewhat fixed a fight that he instigated in the first place, and he showed a sliver of human decency for once?

The fact that you consider that last bit a reason to support him is telling.

Obviously any other president would have done the same, and nobody would even mention it because it's expected.

What has trump done for me personally? The cut funding to affirmative action will greatly benefit me and hinder the spread of anti-white notions in politics. Another thing he has done is that he HASNT taken away guns from American citizens, that's a massive one. The insurance that, for atleast 4 years, I won't have to worry about my FIRST amendment being taken away. As far as things he's PHYSICALLY done, well he removed that silly restriction of truck driving in Puerto Rico, no one talks about it cause the media doesn't want you to think he's a human.

I don't have to go through and defend him, but I did. So checkmate pal, you said "they will undoubtedly not be able to answer" except I did, proving your point moot.

So i'm correct. He hasn't committed any crimes because he hasn't been charged with anything yet. Thats how the judicial system works, not like the one made up in your made up fantasy world. Go to bed, rest your head and maybe you'll wake up with your two brain cells in working order.

jhphoto ยท 0 points ยท Posted at 03:22:59 on October 2, 2017 ยท (Permalink)

People are upvoting you?

What the FUCK?

Edit: For the idiots, yes you can commit a crime without being charged for it. In fact 70% of Americans have committed a crime that they were not aware was a crime - but those crimes are not being enforced.

So yes just because no body saw you steal that car or kill that hooker, it does not mean that you did not commit a crime - it just means that you weren't caught or haven't been caught yet. And in an investigation on a President who isn't subject to the traditional legal system, he wouldn't be formally charged with anything like a normal person would be - the impeachment is the formal charging. Just because he hasn't been impeached yet (especially since the investigation process is still going on) does not mean that he did not commit a crime. The presumption of innocence only applies once charges are put forward and a punishment can be handed out. It is something to protect you from unfair prosecution, it is not something that absolves you of any wrong doing you have done just because you were not caught or formally charged. And even if you are charged and go through the courts and deemed "not guilty", that does not mean you did not commit a crime. Because "not guilty" is not the same as innocent. The constitutional safe guards put in place to ensure a fair trial mean that it is not a perfect system for determining innocence, which is why courts and other proceedings don't determine innocence. You can have someone who by all legal grounds has been proven to commit a crime and still be deemed not guilty through other means, such as jury nullification. They still committed the crime and the evidence clearly indicates so, but the system still can deem them not guilty due to other circumstances.

Thats how the judicial system works, not like the one made up in your made up fantasy world.

Impeachment is handled by Congress, you blithering idiot. You can't even get the right branch of Government right.

Fucking idiots, all of you.

Treason

  • Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying war against them, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort. No person shall be convicted of treason unless on the testimony of two witnesses to the same overt act, or on confession in open court.

What has he done that qualifies?

collusion with an enemy state the US has sanctions against

First you have to prove that there was actually collusion. Then you have to figure out what law that is against. Can you do either?

obstruction of justice...

There was no obstruction of justice. The former director of the FBI said as much under oath. Did he lie?

Reacher-Said-Nothing ยท 0 points ยท Posted at 17:02:25 on October 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)

What has he done that qualifies?

"Adhering to their enemies". The part where he worked with Russia, a state we have economically sanctioned for their invasion of Ukraine, to get elected, in an attempt to remove those sanctions.

First you have to prove that there was actually collusion.

I mean aside from the literal mountains of evidence , Don Jr literally handed us the smoking gun, the email that explicitly states "This is the Russian government's support for your campaign".

Then you have to figure out what law that is against.

52 USC 30121, 36 USC 510:

A foreign national shall not, directly or indirectly, make a contribution or a donation of money or other thing of value, or expressly or impliedly promise to make a contribution or a donation, in connection with any Federal, State, or local election.

I'm so glad I was able to clear all that up for you.

The former director of the FBI said as much under oath.

He explicitly said no such thing, his testimony only increased the case against him, but when you're living in a Trump supporter's world I guess you get used to just flipping the truth into whatever suits you.

But on top of the demanding Comey to drop the investigation, the firing him because he didn't drop the investigation, he also demanded the Director of National Intelligence do something to stop the investigation, and the director of the National Security Agency, and then when they both refused, asked them to make public statements saying there was no evidence of coordination between Trump and Russian officials, which they of course denied.

Because I thought it was just obvious to everyone how much worse Trump is.

How is that not saying that Trump didn't ask him to call off the investigation?

It's saying that Trump doesn't believe he did so.

If someone hits me with their car, and the cop asks "Did that guy hit you?", and I say "Well he doesn't seem to think so", that's not exactly an endorsement of him.

I hate Trudeau, but the worst part is that any time he has to do something unpopular, or controversial, all he has to do is shake hands with Trump, and it's a giant reminder to all of Canada that it could be so much worse.

Trump is the greatest thing that could have ever happened to Trudeau. We could be talking about the real problems with him, but instead he and his supporters get to say "Yeah but it's better than Trump".

Canadians have absolutely nothing to be arrogant about, your economy is in the drain, your housing prices in your major cities ( the only places worth living) are in a huge bubble with 1 bedrooms going for 1 million dollars, your PM can't stop a wildfire for OVER A YEAR, you're irrelevant on the world stage. You're basically a non-country that no one thinks about, your entire reputation is based on being beta males that apologize for everything.

The Canadian economy just posted its fastest year of growth in decades, but okay. I have no idea why you're relating Trudeau to a wildfire or why you think he's responsible for it.

And as for the rest of the random stereotypical 4chan neckbeard insults, guess I struck a nerve with you, huh?

The motive is to consume the once-or-twice-per-day Frontpage post that /r/Pics is eligible for. Or to waste it, if you are into pictures not President-bashing.

The means is to bot-vote it and rely on the bias in Reddit (most active sub banned from /all unless you subscribe to it) to get President-hate to cover the front page. This is cheaper than you think, costing something like $20 per post. Someone out there thinks it is worth about $3000 a day to spoil real posts ranking well on Reddit.

https://www.reddit.com/r/videos/comments/5ihyvu/reddit_for_sale_how_we_bought_the_top_spot_for_200/

$200 for a chosen frontpage. Certainly less once they collect the ShareBlue zombies that are in the stsble now.

Today, weโ€™re happy to announce that weโ€™ve just released a feature to help you filter them from within your own inbox: user blocking.

Believe it or not, weโ€™ve actually had a "block user" feature in a basic form for quite a while, though over time its utility focused to apply to only private messages. Weโ€™ve recently updated its behavior to apply more broadly: you can now block users that reply to you in comment replies as well. Simply click the โ€œBlock Userโ€ button while viewing the reply in your inbox. From that point on, the profile of the blocked user, along with all their comments, posts, and messages, will then be completely removed from your view. You will no longer be alerted if they message you further. As before, the block is completely silent to the blocked user. Blocks can be viewed or removed on your preferences page here.

(emphasis mine)

I appreciate this , but there doesn't seem to be a way to block someone until they PM you or reply to you in the comments. If I'm mistaken, please let me know because I'd appreciate it.

No, you're correct. It's primarily meant to stop harassers, not general posters. There is a less effective 'ignore' function build in to RES if you have it. It doesn't fully remove their posts/comments from your view but replaces their titles with "Ignored User".

This sub is about photos. That's it. There's no larger theme or goal. If we removed every kind of post that each person didn't want there'd be nothing left. My advice to you and everyone else: post and upvote what you want to see. There are ways to filter political posts and for everything else there's the downvote (in user preferences you can check "hide posts after I've voted on them" to make them disappear forever).

Our 'job' as mods is to monitor civility and to catch spam. Its up to the users to make /r/pics a great sub.

You could either say that that's how many people agree with the post, but when the post rises to the top quickly it s obvious bot upvotes . it's ALWAYS u/gallowboob

I've noticed vote manipulations ever since I seen posts from small subs get more upvotes than the subscribers of the sub, and somehow they make it to the front page with 100k upvotes. You guessed it. Anti Trump propaganda.

Call me a conspiracy nut but reddit is obviously anti Trump and they will push upvotes if it means get propaganda prices to the top.

It's up to you to decide if you really believe they're using vote manipulations. You'll only see it if you're looking for it. Good luck.

Majority of Americans did not want trump as president, it is due to our fucked our voting system that trump is president. Giving small states way to much power.

BloodyNightWing ยท -1 points ยท Posted at 00:35:21 on October 2, 2017 ยท (Permalink)

It doesn't give states too much power, what are you talkng about? California does not represent all of The united states. There are 49 other states you know.

Our President is not voted into office with California alone. Small states do not hold too much power because the average electoral votes they have is 3-4. The point is to WIN more states, not just more populated states such as California, Texas, and New York. Because you know, they're a part of America too.

I'm guessing you believe that smaller states hold more voting power. Yeah, no. Population determines how many electoral votes a state has. Since these states are less populated they average 3-4 electoral votes. It's ignorant to say 'smaller states hold more power than larger states, and a citizen's vote in a smaller state is more than a citizen in a larger state'. Citizens do not vote directly for the president, the house of representatives does, and they each have 1 vote from the citizen's choice from their own district. They have various amount of districts depending how large the population is thus why California has 55 votes.

So is it fair to you that a state like California has 55 electoral votes while Alaska has 3 elecotral votes? Bbbut Alaska is a bigger state? Why doesn't it have more electoral votes? Because there's LESS people living there. It's fair.

So yes, the majority of Americans DID want Trump. The electoral college works. And maybe, presidential nominees shouldn't ignore the rest of the smaller 47states, because they're what matters most. He won 30 out of 50 states and 3084 out of 3141 counties in the WHOLE country. 98% WIN. He didn't lose by 3 million votes, Hillary just had 3 million more individual votes.

PS the majority of large states and cities are all liberals. If we had a real democracy we'd have a friggin Democrats rule this country FOREVER. Which is why the founding fathers made the elctoral college : to Prevent tyranny, aka democrats from ruling forever.

If you made it this far I hope I reached out to you. I'll be happy to answer any questions.

The majority of individuals wanted trump to not be president. I think that decisions should be made (at a federal level) based on what the majority of people want, not what the majority of gerrymandered districts want.

I fucking know how the voting system works you dolt. I am simply saying that I think it should work differently. The electoral college is an antiquated and outdated way of voting for president. However, the republicans do not care to change it since the only times in recent history that the popular vote hasn't been in the same direction of the electoral college, it has worked out in the republicans favor.

I assure you, the next time the democrats win the electoral college vote and lose the popular vote, every republican will want it to be based on a popular vote system.

Getting rid of the electoral college in favor of a popular vote system would make the 33% of trump votes in California actually matter, therefore, not remove any power the smaller states have.

Let me start this by saying I completely agree these pandering posts to pics/new/worldnews are all bullshit. Secondly your statement is rather anecdotal. If someone dislikes this a lot they are more likely to comment about it than someone who says "cool pic" to themselves, likes it, and then moves on.

If you go to a hotel and it accommodated you well but was nothing exceptional you may rate it on Google but you probably won't put effort into a comment. But if you go to a hotel and it is disgusting you are much more likely to call them out on Google.

It's sorta a thing, but not even close to the way its being represented by the above people.

Basically, Russian bought ads were "promoting" things like the Black Lives Matter movement (not Clinton)... But they were doing it in a way that made the movement look bad.

Kinda like that old trick when there's a protest of some sort, and the company or entity that's being protested against will hire fake protestors to join the protest, but just be violent and loot and such, so the legitimate protesters end up looking bad.

They were buying ads on both sides of the isle to try and divide the country, thus making it externally weaker.

The money they spent though pales in comparison to what the Clinton campaign/pacs spent. ($100,000 vs $500,000,000 on all social media)

Is it still unproven that the damaging Wikileaks emails originated from Russian sources?

Qapiojg ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 01:32:55 on October 2, 2017 ยท (Permalink)

Yes, in fact the evidence presented has shown the opposite to be the case. At this point, you'd have to be a moron to believe the presented story.

The assertion is that they downloaded the files while going through VPN.

But the file transfer rates show that they were transferring at 22.7 Megabytes per second. Far faster than someone in Romania (the asserted location) could achieve and far faster than could occur being routed through the Russian VPN, where they'd traced the suspected hacker (Guccifer 2.0) to.

In fact the transfer rates indicate the "hacker" was likely on site, and Wikileaks has always claimed it was an insider leak.

The individuals who claim otherwise have yet to provide actual evidence supporting their claim.

Honestly I don't really care enough. All I know is that the Russia is dangerous, and its specific involvement in American affairs is muddy and rife with misinformation.

That's not an example of them supporting both sides, it's a list of topics that there are two sides of.

In other words you have no evidence for your claim. They could have been, and I'm thinking based on context they were, anti-gun and pro illegal immigration ads in support of Hillary's platform.

nilesandstuff ยท 0 points ยท Posted at 20:17:58 on October 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)

Its a reference to the fact that the ads weren't pro or anti either candidate, rather to sow general political division and further polarize the left and the right. To generally kill moderate viewpoints.

Here's a copy paste from the other comment i posted in this thread about one example of the topics they would "advertise" for

Basically, Russian bought ads were "promoting" things like the Black Lives Matter movement (not Clinton)... But they were doing it in a way that made the movement look bad.

Kinda like that old trick when there's a protest of some sort, and the company or entity that's being protested against will hire fake protestors to join the protest, but just be violent and loot and such, so the legitimate protesters end up looking bad.

They did the same for other divisive issues like 2nd amendment rights. Their goal was to make people angry at "the other side" so that if a person didn't feel strongly about that issue in the past, they would begin to.

Because from Russia's viewpoint, its better that we're focused on each other, rather than the global theater. Regardless of which candidate won, those tactics would've (and did) hurt us as a nation. So what I'm saying is, the primary goal of these ads weren't to influence the election any one way, but rather destabilize the u.s. in general.

Incorrect. The ads were quite clearly pro-Clinton. BLM is one of the DNC and Clinton's main areas of interest. Her speeches were very positive towards the group, even offering praise towards it.

Your claim is essentially the same as saying Facebook ads talking about the superiority of the white race aren't supporting Nazis because it doesn't plaster their name on it, they just share the same exact talking points as one piece of their platform.

They did the same for other divisive issues like 2nd amendment rights. Their goal was to make people angry at "the other side" so that if a person didn't feel strongly about that issue in the past, they would begin to.

Except from what we've seen they only targeted one side of the issues, when the initial claim I was responding to was that they were targeting both. So where is the evidence for that claim? Here let me bold it and make it real big for you, just to make it clear what the question is. Because you're trying to erect a strawman and I won't let you divert from the initial question.

Where is the evidence that they supported both sides and not just one side?

The only examples of ads we've seen were anti-trump in nature, the claim was that they had ads against/for both sides. So where is the evidence for that claim?

The smokescreen bullshit is getting old.

This was common but more transparent in run up to the 2015 Canadian election.

Justin Trudeau and Tom Mulcair would advertise on Twitter, Facebook and would have accounts post to /r/canada a petition they have for some sort of change they support. The petition would get signed and never be brought before parliament. Instead they would collect the e-mails, names, and phone numbers for re-election efforts.

That way when election time came they had collected millions of names that they could cross-correlate with various issues and micro-target them to get the votes. It started off broad "End Stephen Harper" and went more specific "electoral reform" "aboriginal rights" "cell phone competition". By the time election came around they could deliver ads specifically to people who had supported specific measures.

However last year the Liberals were 'caught' phishing information from a government survey and using it to send out campaign donation e-mails.

Last year the Democrats and Liberals met with each other in closed door meetings. It is very likely campaigning was a discussion they had. The goal of this campaign is to sign up and phish for information for people who are against Donald Trump first. In coming years Americans will see other similar campaigns. Do you support rebuilding Puerto Rico? Sign the petition! Do you oppose the wall? Sign the petition! Do you think America should take more refugees? Sign the petition! Trump should support small business before corporations! Sign the petition.

Over time they will fill a database of potential voters that they will be able to use in local and national elections.

Edit: And I don't want to make it sound like the Conservatives and Republicans don't do this, they obviously do. It's just going to be how politics is done for at least another decade. When you're hunting for votes finding out what your supporters support is more important than supporting what you support. If an issue like terrorism is divisive for your party you might just want to ignore it.

The truth however is that the end game for either is to have a large portion of the population dependent in some form or other on the government.

If you don't already know that the Democrats position changes based on who is in office, just like the Republicans, than I'm going to have to say so long. It's been about a decade since I really came to see it and probably sounded exactly like you did before that time. I will leave you with this; read articles about the same topic from a source that confirms your opinions and then from one that challenges your opinions. Do this regularly and on a variety of topics. You will get angry at first trading those things that challenge your bias but at some point you see a pattern, AND you'll start seeing the flip-flopping. Appearances are bullshit and so are both parties.

In case you're actually unfamiliar with it, "Rent Free" was a popular meme/saying amongst Trump supporters on here throughout his campaign. They believed many of the controversial things Trump was doing and saying were to get into people's heads so that they couldn't stop talking about him, thus providing attention for Trump that he didn't need to work for like other candidates did. So Trump was "living in their minds rent free".

I believe the OP's intention in restating the phrase here is to say that Trump is still in people's heads and the way they're dealing with it is helping (or at least in this case, not actually hurting) him.

Lowest approval rating of any president ever at this point in his presidency.

They should probably learn a tactic to win

Like gerrymandering and indoctrinating people into a political cult where the only ideology that matters if if you have an (R) next to your name? I would rather we not stoop to your level just to win

muh Russia,

Fun fact, the trump Jr. emails objectively proves that not only was Russia attempting to aid the trump campaign, but that the trump campaign knew about it and tried to solicit that help.

Revisit this post when he wins in a landslide in 2020 but the polls show he should have lost.

He won the election and his approval ratings are what, 45% or something close with a 12%+ dem over sample? He lost the popular vote in mostly states that give illegal immigrants access to voting and have an extremely high number of those illegal immigrants within their state. He defeated a large Republican primary field and the anointed establishment witch and draws thousands and thousands of people to his events. Do I need to show you some pictures of Hillary's or Kaine's rallies? You're seriously underestimating his popularity and the popularity of his message, which is exactly why Hillary lost.

Via a broken system, and even then he barely won.

and his approval ratings are going up.

Uhh, no. His approval rating has been steadily getting worse over time.

He lost the popular vote in mostly states that give illegal immigrants access to voting

Illegal immigrants cannot vote in this country.

He defeated a large Republican primary

Which only goes to show how utterly abhorrent the republican party has become.

Do I need to show you some pictures of Hillary's or Kaine's rallies?

Rally sizes have little correlation with a persons ability to win elections, or their popularity. It only indicates the size of their core fanatical base, everyone outside of that doesn't attend rallies.

Infact, large rally sizes are (very) slightly correlated with losing elections, not winning them.

You're seriously underestimating his popularity and the popularity of his message,

He is one of the least popular presidents we have ever had. That is not an estimation, that is a statistical fact.

Your narrow definition of what constitutes democracy is pretty much irrelevant. Did you think everyone in Ancient Greece could vote, was that not still where democracy was born ? What about early America when only white males who owned land could vote ? Still democracy, your 1 vote per person definition has 0 historical relevance.

No countries let children vote either , guess true democracy doesn't exist anywhere /s. Your personal definition doesn't dictate reality. Read a book lad. Weighted votes doesn't invalidate us as a democracy anymore than affirmative action invalidates a black employees qualifications, or a minority being given spots in college with lower gpa's and test scores due to their socio-economic background. Things are weighted all the time due to outside factors. Weighted voting gives smaller states a voice compared to the coastal powerhouses and gives politicians a reason to at the very least pretend to give a fuck about states other than California and New York.

Well if you want to go down that route, minorities are less educated and southern/east coast states have the highest concentration of them. They also tend to vote Democrat, are you sure you want to base this on education level and not income level? Trump won the 75,000 and over salary voter by the way.

As a person who votes right-wing, I would laugh my arse off, here in the UK we had the recent election happen, and what happened is Labour(our version of Democrats) ran a heavy campaign and tried to get everyone(remainers, alot of normally non-voting youth) to vote Labour, anyways what happened is that Tories still dominated, but didn't have enough votes to pass the minimal number of seats, resulting in them to coalition with DUP, which is a far-right Northern Ireland party.

So basically impeaching Trump will get themselves shot in the foot like the Labour supports here(funny enough Mike and DUP are very much inline)

It's not hypocritical to call someone a hate monger and then declare that you'll happily express your hatred?

You're being fooled into thinking all ideas.. including dangerous divisive ones, should be respected equally.

I'm mostly just talking about the pathology that led you down this path.

It's fine though, I honest god don't care what you think at all.

That much is obvious because you gleefully declare your own hatred one moment while asserting other people are hate mongers.

Do you know what a monger is? Someone who sells.

It seems to me that you're selling hate pretty heavily yourself.

I'm kind of a masochist, I'll deal with the nonsense to keep myself in the loop.

You're not batman. You don't successfully combat what you perceive as hate with hate.

A Harvard Professor of Constitutional law disagrees with you.

You could have just pointed out that his name is Alan Dershowitz. But then again, if you did that anyone with a clue would know that the person you are citing is a hack who doesn't do any case law research before opening his disgusting mouth and spewing opinions as fact all over cable news.

And for those that are not aware, this hack job has been rabidly defending trump on every legal issue under the sun, even when he is flat out wrong. The worst offending example was when he went on cable news to try to argue that Trump Jr. accepting aid for the trump campaign from Russian nationals was protected under the first amendment. When even the smallest amount of research would have caused him to find a ~5 year old case that was affirmed by the supreme court that shot down that exact argument in relations to the exact law that Trump Jr. broke.

FYI, firing Comey couldn't and didn't do anything to stop or interfere with the investigation, this was clarified by Comey and his acting director replacement under oath in front of congress. Not how the FBI works. Plus Trump didn't directly order anything.

That's not even remotely the same as what Trump said/did, you've definitely got the slimy attorney act down pact. He said nothing about Comey and his safety/job, all he said was that he hoped Flynn could get it easy, that the FBI wouldn't ream him out since Trump likes him and thinks he's a good man (this is Comey's interpretation as stated under oath). There is nothing there, Comey could just reply "k" and keep doing what he's doing, there's no threat or coercion there, was like a stream of consciousness on Trump's part.

By your logic even if what I do doesn't succeed my intent doesn't matter. If I intended to kill someone with a gun and missed by your logic I shouldn't be arrested for attempted murder because that can't be a thing I guess. For an obstruction of Justice case intent matters. So if he intended to fire commey to stop the investigation, even if it didn't, that would be obstruction of Justice

tofur99 ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 16:34:36 on October 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)

Good fucking luck proving his intention, that's my point. There's nothing solid there to get him with, plus he's stated the reason was in part because comey refused to tell the public that he wasn't under investigation. That would piss me off too considering all the flak Trump was getting by the media for supposedly being under FBI investigation. Also the President can fire the director for any reason or for no reason at all, this isn't a lowly citizen this is the POTUS we're talking about.

NHFI ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 16:42:30 on October 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)

Except he went on NBC and told Lester holt, in a recorded interview, that he fired him, in part, because of the investigation into him and his campaign. Yeah that sure as shit sounds like intending to obstruction justice and if it is or isn't is up to the Senate to determine because if lying about a fucking blowjob can almost get Clinton impeached then this should at the very least be brought before the senate in an impeachment trial

tofur99 ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 18:53:25 on October 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)

You are falsely assuming that he assumed firing Comey would stop the investigation and he has said no such thing and it's common knowledge that that's not how the FBI works, investigations carry on no matter who is the director, it's common sense actually. He could fire Comey because he didn't like how he was handling the investigation and at the same time have zero intention of STOPPING said investigation. Basically "you're obviously shit at this job and I don't like you, you're fired".

He could fire Comey for any reason or no reason at all, don't forget that little snag in your narrative. Trump hasn't lied under oath, rapin' Bill did and got nailed for it. Deal with it snowflake.

NHFI ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 18:58:17 on October 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)

Lol even if it's common knowledge that firing commey wouldn't stop the investigation you can't assume that trump knew that. Again that's why it should be up for a senate investigation to decide in an impeachment trial. If there is any chance he fired him with the intent to stop the investigation in any way that is obstruction of Justice. Lying about a blowjob gets you investigate, saying you fired a sitting FBI director because he wouldn't stop an investigation should too

tofur99 ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 19:00:47 on October 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)

You can't assume he didn't know it would either, that's my fucking point you retard. Nobody is impeaching Trump for obstruction just let it go and find something else to hang your desperate hopes on.

Democrats were openly calling for his impeachment and removal literally the day after he was elected, back when they truly had zero reason to justify even uttering the word impeachment. Forgive the rest of us if we ignore your witch hunting asses unless you bring something real and irrefutable to the table.

Oh and also Trump didn't say he fired him because he wouldn't stop an investigation, he said he didn't like the way he was handling it. Very VERY different things, remember President can fire the director for any reason or no reason at all (Comey's words), and poor performance of his duties is as reasonable and expected a reason as any a POTUS could have.

I don't think you understand what I'm saying. There are multiple organizations and lawyers saying he COULD have obstructed justice. The way you definitively decide if he did or didn't is through an impeachment trial. I'm not even saying he did obstruct Justice.

Right, he leaked the memos based on his gut feeling of reading between the lines due to what you interpret as his interpretation of Trump as dishonest and criminal in nature.

Here's a fun hypothetical. Just want to get your reaction if this were to happen. Let's say Melania gets on a plane and lands in some random town at the same time as Sessions or Mueller are landed in their own private planes. Let's then say Melania gets on their plane and has a secret meeting with them. The next day, let's say Mueller comes out and says that his investigation found that there was collusion, treason, and all the other allegations people have been suggesting, but then says no reasonable prosecutor would take the case because he felt Trump had no intent.

We also assess Putin and the Russian Government aspired to help President-elect Trumpโ€™s election chances when possible by discrediting Secretary Clinton and publicly contrasting her unfavorably to him. All three agencies agree with this judgment. CIA and FBI have high confidence in this judgment; NSA has moderate confidence.

Moscowโ€™s approach evolved over the course of the campaign based on Russiaโ€™s understanding of the electoral prospects of the two main candidates. When it appeared to Moscow that Secretary Clinton was likely to win the election, the Russian influence campaign began to focus more on undermining her future presidency.

They only feel safe where their numbers overwhelm their opponents. Change the numbers, and they go back into their hidey holes.

You hate Trump and want him impeached, therefore you will interpret any information as grounds for impeachment without having any basis in reality or legality. You favor all information that confirms your biases about Trump but completely ignore anything that challenges those biases including the fact that the investigations have not come to any conclusions yet and if it was as simple as you make it seem, surely a team full of investigators, who, sorry to say, are probably a lot smarter and more informed than you are about the topic, would have found something by now.

If, when the investigations are done, the conclusion is made that Trump broke the law, you will not hear me defend him or his actions, but until then, you will not hear me call for his impeachment.

From the time Nixon was found to be involved in scandal and the time the investigations took 1 year. From the time the investigations started until the time he was actually impeached took 1 year.

Are you saying that it wasn't obvious that Richard Nixon did anything wrong?

We also assess Putin and the Russian Government aspired to help President-elect Trumpโ€™s election chances when possible by discrediting Secretary Clinton and publicly contrasting her unfavorably to him. All three agencies agree with this judgment. CIA and FBI have high confidence in this judgment; NSA has moderate confidence.

Moscowโ€™s approach evolved over the course of the campaign based on Russiaโ€™s understanding of the electoral prospects of the two main candidates. When it appeared to Moscow that Secretary Clinton was likely to win the election, the Russian influence campaign began to focus more on undermining her future presidency.

Oh, so you are under the impression that collusion is making an illegal campaign contribution. Those are very different things.

If the evidence that Putin was funding trumps campaign, then people wouldn't be pretending "collusion" was an illegal act, rather, they would be directly stating the illegal act that they believed he committed.

I mean aside from all the hundreds of financial connections (follow the money), the secret meetings with Putin that break protocol where even Trump's own translator isn't allowed, the fact that he seems to exclusively hire Russia-friendly people, the 50-odd times during his campaign that he said "Wouldn't it be nice if we could get along with Russia?" after they invaded Crimea, the firing of the FBI director that was investigating his ties to Russia, the demanding the DNI to release a statement that there's no ties between him and Russia, the handing over highly classified military intel to Russian officials, and so much more...

Lot's of smoke, no fire. Where's the beef?

...we actually have the email they sent to Don Jr explicitly stating "This is the Russian government's support for your campaign".

Yes, obviously foreign actors often favor one of the candidates. This has been the case with Hillary, Obama, Bush, Bill, etc.

No... I'm under the impression that collusion is working with an enemy state to help win an election. That's against the law.

I just did state the illegal act. Not to mention treason, and obstruction of justice for firing Comey and demanding the head of the DNI shut down the investigation into him.

Every hallway in every room in your entire apartment building is filled with smoke. Your building is on fire. Also, here's the fire:

It's a bit different when those foreign actors are a state we have economic sanctions against, and that favoring consists of meddling in US election affairs right down to attempting to hack into voting machines.

Then why did you cite a law about illegal donations, and not the "collusion" law he broke.

Collusion has no legal meaning, and citing a law which doesn't mention, let alone define "collusion" doesn't help your case claiming that there is a law against collusion.

"working with" and "enemy state" are vague terminology, and for someone who is claiming to have some level of legal knowledge, you sure are making a lot of statements about the law which are way too vague to actually make it into a criminal code. It seems to me that you're trying to say "some forms of working with enemy states are illegal, therefore all ways that Trump may have worked with enemy states are illegal".

you seem a pretty confused.

So just to be clear, you don't think the law I just cited has anything to do with collusion? You do understand the definition of collusion is "secret agreement or cooperation especially for an illegal or deceitful purpose"? And you're arguing all this despite admitting that he did probably break that law, you just don't think it fits for the word "collusion" for some reason?

That sounds like a very strong case when you describe it that way. But in a court of law you might be required to include the detail that the firing came 3 months after that private meeting but only a week after he was grilled by congress over him influencing the election by his public reopening of the Clinton probe. Both sides of the aisle were pretty furious with him. It will be hard to prove he was fired in an attempt to block an investigation (when that move would clearly only balloon it) rather than a loss in confidence and the optics of keeping an FBI director that torpedoed your political opponent's chances on the eve of an election.

Although there is a decent case against him, unfortunately thereโ€™s no way heโ€™d ever get impeached. Congress is his jury in this case which means since Trump isnโ€™t nearly universally hated for firing Comey, Republican congressmen are going to be inclined to vote against the impeachment. It might sound fucked up but you need a whole lot more than a good case. Think about Clintonโ€™s impeachment, legally he was impeached on perjury charges but we all know it was because the American people thought adultery was bad and the republicans decided to take an opportunity to impeach the democrat in office.

In case you wanted more proof that the "Trump is killing people in PR" is a BS story spread by the mayor of San Juan in an effort to ride the "Fuck Trump" train, here is a local Democrat and member of PRs Progressive Party:

โ€œMy experience is different. I have been participating in different meetings at the headquarters of FEMA and our government and the help is coming in and right now my experience is different from hers. Iโ€™m receiving help from the government, we are receiving assistance from FEMA, I got people over here helping us with applications for the people that have damage in their houses. And we have here in Guaynabo, we have thousands of people that lost partially or totally their houses,โ€ said Perez, who is a member of Puerto Ricoโ€™s New Progressive Party.

Perezโ€™s comments echoed what FEMA administrator Brock Long said on Saturday. Long defended Trumpโ€™s tweets blasting Cruz and indicated that Cruz has failed to connect with the FEMA command center set up on the island to help with the relief effort.

When asked about Cruzโ€™s โ€œgenocideโ€ statement, Perez said, โ€œI donโ€™t know why she is saying that. What I can tell you is my experience. She is not participating in any meetings and we had a couple already with the governors and with representation of FEMA and of HUD, of these whole federal agencies that have given us help and sheโ€™s not participating in those meetings and some mayors from her political party have been participating, so I donโ€™t know why she is saying that. My experience is very different.โ€

He could be doing more, and his incessant tweeting makes it seem like he has a personal vendetta against Mayor Cruz; he's sitting at a golf resort bashing someone for poor leadership. It took 8 days to respond to lifting the Jones Act, which was done immediately for Florida and Texas, and he used the excuse that people in shipping would be upset. There are probably supplies still on the ground because the roads are trashed; if the Navy was down there with heavy lift choppers then roads wouldn't matter. It's just depressing to see that the response was so much stronger for a disaster in another country.

I just read an article that a local law enforcement officer in PR called into a radio station in the US stating Mayor Cruz has been purposefully withholding aid to her People to make the situation worse and keep blaming it on Trump.

Alright, had the NFL fired them, or fined them more likely, over it, what connection does the government have to that happening other then a comment by Trump about it? The NFL would have been acting on their own unless you think a comment by Trump that they should is the government coercing them into it. You seem to be claiming the comment alone is enough to say Trump is suppressing their free speech.

Did the government force them to do it? Or encourage them with some sort of financial penalty if they didn't? In what way is the government forcing, or coercing, the NFL to take this action?

I mean, if the government is actually using private organizations to suppress free speech, shouldn't they actually be doing something to force the company to comply?

You're right, it is wrong. But it's not illegal nor is he oppressing anyone's 1st amendment rights. Anyone can say anything. That's what the first amendment protects. But he actually does need to send federal agents to arrest people to oppress these rights.

How do you not see that Trump too has first amendment rights and he is also protected.

The emoluments clause is still a gray area because it's business transactions, and not gifts. That one is still going to have to be worked out in courts.

The 14th amendment is with regards to citizens and former slaves. Foreign national are not citizens or former slaves.

First amendment? Really? He didn't do anything besides exercise HIS first amendment rights. If he took legislative or executive action you might have a case.

As for Puerto Rico, that's their own fault. There's aid sitting in the port, waiting for the PR government to distribute it. Hell, the mayor of San Juan has done photos in front of pallets full of aid.

Business transactions can be considered gifts, especially when it comes to real estate where property values can be very flexible.

That's not how it works when you're part of the government. Threatening negative conquences as a means to suppress protest is not legal. It's his job to protect the 1st amendment rights of citizens, not use it as a bludgeon to keep them quiet.

But, now that you bring it up, I have yet to see actual solid evidence to convince me that an obstruction of justice charge would actually work on Trump, due to how much intent would matter for something so political as an impeachment.

And I have yet to see proof that Congress would even give a shit about that, regardless.

It seems like it would be unlikely, although possible, according to various legal experts. But there's evidence that, at the minimum, Trump's legal team is concerned about the charge as they are submitting documents to support the idea that Trump is not guilty of it.

But getting Congress to give a fuck and actually jump the line to impeachment will probably be impossible, barring some kind of smoking gun that I can't even conceive of.

Patently untrue.

Intent matters a ridiculous amount.

Why do you think Bill Clinton was never fully impeached, due to not a single Democrat voting to impeach him?

Because people believed his impeachment to be political in nature, and not having real value, despite the crimes he committed being investigated and found real.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impeachment_of_Bill_Clinton

Similar optics can be applied to Trump. Trump fired people he believed to be wasting time on a bogus investigation and political witchhunt. (his beliefs)

Therefore, even if he is found guilty of obstructing that investigation, as long as that Russia investigation turns nothing up on him, I highly doubt a single Republican will vote to impeach him.

If Trump is seen as clean on the Russia investigation, it will be spun as him wanting to crush a bogus political witchhunt, and Congress won't do anything.

They have plenty of choices, and aren't obligated to do what you want them to do.

Intent to obstruct because you believe an investigation is a bogus witchhunt and want to shut down such a political attack would qualify as intent here.

And that is intent, but intent that would make Trump easily not get impeached.

Of the FBI lead investigator RECOMMENDS charges that would imply that the investigator believes all the criteria including intent is satisfied to recommend charges.

And as something as severe as a FBI lead investigator recommending charges for obstruction of justice over a case revolving collusions with a foreign government provides Congress with no choice but to start formal impeachment process. It would be different if it was a investigation committee compromised of Democrats in the Senate making this conclusion but when it comes from the FBI lead investigator that was appointed by the Republicans, they won't have any other avenue.

If were doing this, then:

Can you name a point in American history where the House of Representatives voted to start the impeachment process on a President of their own party?

Moving off that: The seriousness and political nature of the charge is what would lead to whether or not Congress would, as a whole, impeach and remove the President from office.

If Trump is seen as innocent in the Russian collusion case, then him trying to obstruct a case he see's as a baseless, political witchhunt almost certainly NOT result in him getting impeached.

Intent here matters. The Republican voter base will care. Therefore, Republicans in Congress will care.

Also Democrats have been trying to start the impeachment process since almost day one.

I'm pretty sure the Federal Bureau of Investigations recommending criminal charges of the President would be the time when a President's own party would have no choice but to impeach.

Especially if this happens before 2018 and the midterms. It's not Trump's base that they would be worried about. It would be the record setting voter turnout during midterms that they would be worried about if they simply ignore the FBI recommending criminal charges.

Midterm elections are usually patheticly low. Congress ignoring FBI's call for criminal charges for the President and Congress ignoring it would change that. People in Congress know this.

Not a single Democrat voted to impeach Bill Clinton, despite the fact that charges were recommended against him, of Obstruction of Justice and of perjury.

Because of the context and political nature.

I think being investigated for obstruction of justice especially given the context of the case he was trying to obstruct is significantly more important than investigating the mismanegement of emails.

And Benghazi was an actual political witch hunt. Notice how the FBI didn't give a fuck about Hillary and Benghazi. Hence why all the investigations were by a GOP tribunals of Republican partisan hacks.

The Benghazi investigation was about far more than just mismanagement of emails, it was about the loss of several American lives and an ambassador.

Ultimately not Hillary's fault, but still, a very important investigation.

At best, Russia may have paid for Facebook ads that were anti-Hillary or pro-Trump. Again, Mexico did the same thing except they actually also had people voting in the booths so which one is worse? If this is all news to you, why don't you see what kind of tangible change Jeff Bezos may have had and I bet you'll find it's much more than anything Putin likely did.

Chill out man, I'm just trying to help you understand why nobody is taking you seriously. You can't shout about some vague term like "the Russians interfered so Donald Trump needs to be impeached!" It makes you sound retarded. But please, by all means, continue beating the same drum that's gotten Nancy Pelosi and Maxine Waters nowhere. Why don't you spend some time doing some research so you can tell me exactly how Russia chose the president in 2016 so we can avoid it in 2020?

๏ปฟSteve Bannon Wants To Start World War III


Darkness is good. Dick Cheney. Darth Vader. Satan. Thatโ€™s power. It only helps us when โ€˜theyโ€™ get it wrong. When โ€˜theyโ€™reโ€™ blind to who we are and what weโ€™re doing." - Steve Bannon

Pelosi calls Trump's chief strategist a 'white supremacist'


The Dark History of the White House Aides Who Crafted Trump's "Muslim Ban"


Hereโ€™s how Steve Bannon used angry white gamers to build himself up to Trumpโ€™s chief strategist


The Independent quotes the filing as alleging Bannon โ€œwent on to say the biggest problem he had with Archer (school) is the number of Jews that attend. He said that he doesnโ€™t like Jews and that he doesnโ€™t like the way they raise their kids to be โ€˜whiny bratsโ€™ and that he didnโ€™t want the girls going to school with Jews.โ€ .


Steve Bannon's Islamophobic film script just one example of anti-Muslim views


Stephen Bannon in 2014: We Are at War With Radical Islam


Stephen Bannon Described Jews As โ€˜Enablersโ€™ of Jihad in Old Film Treatment


โ€œIโ€™m a Leninist,โ€ Steve Bannon told a writer for The Daily Beast, in late 2013. โ€œLenin wanted to destroy the state, and thatโ€™s my goal, too. I want to bring everything crashing down, and destroy all of todayโ€™s establishment.โ€


The Santa Monica, Calif., police report says that Bannonโ€™s then-wife claimed he pulled at her neck and wrist during an altercation over their finances, and an officer reported witnessing red marks on her neck and wrist to bolster her account. Bannon also reportedly smashed the phone when she tried to call the police.


Bannon failed to pay or underpaid child and spousal support at a time when he was making $500,000 a year and was, according to documents he shared, worth much more. Letters filed with the court by two school administrators allege that Bannon threatened them. Bannon rarely saw his daughters and at one point did not see them for a full two years. During that time they had no idea where he lived. In sworn declarations submitted to the court, Piccard says that Bannon was abusive towards his daughters.


โ€œThatโ€™s why there are some unintended consequences of the womenโ€™s liberation movement,โ€ Bannon says in the audio recording. โ€œThat, in fact, the women that would lead this country would be pro-family, they would have husbands, they would love their children. They wouldnโ€™t be a bunch of dykes that came from the Seven Sisters schools up in New England. That drives the left insane and thatโ€™s why they hate these women.โ€ - AUDIO

Stop the hate and let's try to start functioning again as a country.

this is an honest question. how might we do that?

i would like to do that very much, and while i recognize that im not without my biases like everyone else, i honestly believe that i have made so many sacrifices already and tolerated so much hate and lazy demagoguery while trying to help that happen and yet here we are.

ive tried to lead my life treating everyone well and with dignity and respect (until they demand otherwise). on my small scale, as in the people i meet and amongst friends and family, that goes well for the most part, but there is most definitely a survivor bias in that result. people who still find it necessary to be assholes even after my approach are cut out.

im tired of trying to be the bigger person, trying to patiently wait for cooler heads, or the winds of change, or whatever.

my reward for these efforts is watching more of the life that i will not get back being spent living within and tolerating objectively horrible policy put forward by elected sociopaths with the full and unquestioning backing of huge swaths of my countrymen.

why should i continually be asked to put up with yet another huge step backward on some front. my fucking president tweets like a fucking brat in the candy aisle and he has overwhelming support is large parts of the country. everything ive done in my life towards trying to treat people well has not stopped this from happening.

im honestly asking for an attitude adjustment here and a path forward.

NoFunHere ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 19:12:37 on October 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)

this is an honest question. how might we do that?

Simplest answer - try to find common ground and reject partisans.

I am considered a right wing Trump lover by my liberal friends and a left wing liberal by my right wing friends. It is mostly due to that fact that I try to provide them a counter-argument to their partisan positions.

I can find good things and bad things about every president in my lifetime. People who cannot do that, and admit those things in public, are part of the problem in my book.

Social media, reddit, and the internet in general tend to cause us to amplify differences instead of looking for common ground. When we do that, we play right into the hands of politicians who benefit from dividing us.

Finally, don't vote party ticket. If your representative or Senator is throwing up partisan roadblocks, vote him or her out in the next election - regardless of party. If you see your rep or Senator making deals with the other side, re-elect them even if they are not from your party of preference. I believe a congress that is making bipartisan deals is better than a congress that is ramming through a partisan objective or crippled by a party of "no". I can't think of a bill that isn't better when both sides contribute.

i appreciate you taking the time to answer with something besides a toss off blurb, so i don't want you to think im summarily dismissing the above.

i would say though, that the above seems to distill down to "do your part and hope for the best". if this is an accurate distillation, and i do not wish to speak for you so if im wrong please correct, i have been doing this my entire life as stated in my post to you and we are where we are in spite of that. im not delusional and think that my actions have great affect or should have, but im asking the question to you for all the people like me who make up a portion of the country that is told to come together. we feel like we keep trying to do that very thing, but that we do not have a partner on the other side (yes i do recognize the 'other' side says the same but there are objective means to tease right from wrong and good from bad and i objectively feel that on average, im on the good side).

i guess what im looking for, and perhaps it is something that you don't have an answer to as i myself do not, is "how do 'we' as a country, do better than that". at some point, and i do not know where that line is because of the amplification of drama that you speak of, agreeing to disagree completely loses efficacy in anything beyond not killing each other in the streets over any of the myriad real and not imagined or over-hyped issues we as a country are so thoroughly divided on.

for many real issues, the lack of resolution and can kicking does result in death and misery for (so far not me or mine) many Americans, and by result, non Americans as well. turning the other cheek feels like it has become a tool for quieting down people like myself. a direct appeal to my nature of hoping for the best in people, that is turned against me in the immediate by purchasing my silence and by association purchasing more time to wring out resources and power while i sit on the sidelines like a "good boy".

im rather lost here.

I would say to do your part, encourage others to do theirs, and challenge partisans to see the other side.

Feels like a losing effort, but the pendulum swings and it will swing back sooner the more people reject partisan hate.

Why wasn't America better off knowing that even their leaders are subject to the same laws as everyone else? And I don't know who the fuck is still "struggling" from the the likelihood of Nixon's impeachment but I'm sure once their nurse comes by to give them their Alzheimer's meds they'll be just fine.

I don't think there's a good case for impeachment against Trump since incompetence and lack of dignity aren't against the law, but the argument you make here against the ability in general is ludicrous. The ability to hold our highest official accountable to the very same laws as everyone else, even through the convoluted process of impeachment, is entirely necessary.

That guy has a few posts here. All are well worded, but express poor ideas.

Impeachment was included in our government for a reason. Since the president is more or less immune to the legal reprocussions of illegal activity, impeachment is the only avenue of punshment. A president that commits crimes should be impeached. Like Nixon.

Also, I find it kinda ironic that a lot of the people here saying "stop the hate" and variations thereof, are using it in defense of Trump. I checked a few post histories and, unsurprisingly, these same people tend to be Trump supporters.

How do you work together with people who are doing what the vast majority of the country are against?

Because the country does seem to be coming together about a LOT of things - we need good, affordable (god-willing single payer) healthcare, workers' benefits and parental leave, regulation on polluters, clean energy, more education funding, etc -- that republicans are constantly blocking, defunding or destroying. How do you "work together" with that? I'm seriously asking you.

It happens all the time in software. Someone has a different idea if how to finish a task but you know it's going to make your follow up tasks more difficult.

No kidding. I'm in IT and I do this shit all day. And now I have to explain to you the difference between working together to solve a problem, and letting people fuck you over for their own benefit.

You have a meeting, talk about what your issues with their solution are, and if they don't change their implementation, then you deal with it.

Are you really telling me that you can't understand the difference between someone trying to harm you or take advantage of you, and working together to solve a problem together? When working together, you have a common goal. You are giving an example of people who have a meeting with a common goal - to solve a certain software problem.

Here, we do not have a common goal. Their goal with the latest healthcare bill is to get richer by giving themselves huge tax breaks while slashing our health care benefits and letting insurance companies fuck over people. The goal of the rest of us is to have decent healthcare that doesn't bankrupt us.

They are not working towards our goal, but only towards theirs, therefore there can be no cooperation until our goals are the same.

And I know what you're going to say -- "so change your goals." Are you really suggesting that we all abandon our goal of having affordable medicine for their goal of getting richer?

I would really, really like to hear your answer on this. What does "working together" mean to you on this specific issue? Take cuts to our healthcare (or ending it altogether) while they get richer? Honestly, tell me.

As justified as the threat was against Nixon, the country is still struggling with the aftereffects of that threat of impeachment.

We're suffering from the effects of the pardon he received. It set an example that republicans can get away with anything because their successor will defend them.

He got nominated through a Republican primary that, unlike the Democrat one, was a fair contest. Then he won the Presidential election, by the rules stipulated to do so. He didn't get the most votes, but that doesn't matter.

Until somebody shows some actual evidence that Trump (not people who worked for him, but Trump himself) was involved in or was aware of illegal activities during the election campaign, then he deserves to be President, whether we like it or not.

Agree partially. There were calls for impeachment of Bush 43 and Obama, but mostly from the fringes. Even Clinton's impeachment was driven by the far right, which is why he wasn't convicted in the more moderate senate despite admitting to perjury. But the problem is that it is leaking into mainstream with many people thinking impeachment is a viable tool for removing somebody you don't like.

Unbelievable that these posts are being brigaded and upvoted even though you are 100% wrong.

Congress doesn't need an investigation to "show guilt" to vote on articles of impeachment. Impeachment is a process that is political - not legal. The impeachment of a president does not need to be based on indictable criminal offenses, and a grand jury can even issue a letter in lieu of declaring "guilt" to suggest the removal of someone from political office. Was Bill Clinton "convincted" before he was impeached? Or was a report submitted by Ken Starr and then they decided it was enough to vote for impeachment?

Do you even know what the impeachment process is?

First off, I was never upset. And secondly, I've never revealed my political affiliation. You will stop this nonsense about sides and who won. I care about people, and the benefits of it's people. I see no benefit from your ideals, they serve only to combat and misuse common terms for your own goals. Why don't you go do something productive, instead of wasting your time again? Why don't you take some time to think about what kind of impression you are leaving for the future and it's children.

giveupitscrazy ยท 3 points ยท Posted at 19:04:53 on October 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)

First off, I was never upset.

So how did you feel, to refer to Trump winning in a negative context? Clearly you felt more than indifferent on the subject. Let's find the term somewhere in-between indifferent and upset that fits and we'll go with that.

And secondly, I've never revealed my political affiliation.

Nor have I assumed your political affiliation. I simply indicated the person who aligned with you politically didn't win. I never suggested anything more specific than that. For all I know your political affiliation and mine could be highly similar, or wildly different. More candidates than Hillary Clinton lost the 2016 election.

You will stop this nonsense about sides and who won. I care about people, and the benefits of it's people.

But YOU brought it up. You started this nonsense. It's all well and good to say you only care about people, and the benefits to them, but you can't say you don't also care/cared about the politics of it all.

I see no benefit from your ideals, they serve only to combat and misuse common terms for your own goals.

Again, I want to repeat the part of your statement that caused me to respond to you in the first place:

I wouldn't impeach TRUMP for what he did

I'll give you this was a partial quote, however I just went back and re-read your entire statement, and while yes, I am re-quoting a partial quote, I fail to see this from any inflection other than you're less than thrilled about something Trump had done, to which you clarified yes, he won the election.

Do you see that your own ideals, your own statements, serve to be combative towards those who hold different political views to yourself? Don't mistake this for me being offended here, far from it, but I do find it a bit hypocritical to make these claims towards me, without first looking no deeper than this own thread.

Why don't you go do something productive, instead of wasting your time again?

Because I don't want to? It's the weekend, I'm on reddit. This entire site exists for the purpose of not doing something productive. What an absolutely silly thing to suggest, it's like you know how flimsy your argument is and are literally hoping to guilt me into not responding.

Why don't you take some time to think about what kind of impression you are leaving for the future and it's children.

Yes, because these 6 comments(so far) are going to be held up as shining examples of where our political discourse was in 2017, and taught to future generations as a study of the political climate of 2017. Please, really?

I'm not here trying to leave an impression for the world, I'm here specifically in response to your comment, that I read, which I found had a flaw in it. Rather than simply downvote, per reddiquette I opted to respond.

Dude I literally refuted a statement you made, by copy pasting your own words from a previous statement you made. That is the fucking definition of hypocricy man. Cannot get anymore clear than that.

Do you bring your family into a lot of subjects they have no business being in? See how when I bring your family into this, it brings nothing to the conversation?

What makes you think I'm bringing my family into this anymore than I brought my job into this(aka I didn't). You falsely claimed you were somehow keeping me busy today, which was blatantly false, I provided my alibi as such to prove it was blatantly false.

You only beg to offer baseless information in an effort to argue over a statement you made.

Again, what baseless information have I offered here? Please feel free to quantify, because otherwise you're literally being a hypocrite AGAIN by offering providing no information while calling me out for providing no information.

How about we keep the accusations to a minimum, for the second time.

It's literally provably true just reading this thread that in this thread you are being a hypocrite. An accusation would imply some level of benefit of the doubt. You don't deserve that, you have factually, undeniably been acting like a hypocrite.

I call it like I see it, and if that word offends you, I fail to see why I should care at all that it offends you.

I'd rather you not treat people with such disrespect.

So you're saying I should not call out a factual observation regarding your behavior in this thread because it's disrespectful to you? See, this is the whole facts vs. feelings argument. My facts don't care about your feelings. I feel your intellectual dishonesty is disrespectful, but you don't see me over here demanding you stop. On the contrary please continue with the wonderful intellectual dishonesty, it only goes to highlight your incompetence in logic and reasoned debate.

Your all accusations, feebly clinging to any dirt you can grab as you look like a major idiot. I don't believe you have any traction at all with the shit your trying to fling, because it's just as I stated in the first place: Baseless, useless TRASH. What did any of this have anything to do with your inability to cope with making an absurd statement and pushing your filth like a Toddler arguing about why his sister sucks. Next time you settle an 'argument' make sure your not just throwing together a bunch of weak shit and personal insults where they are not deserved. I think your 'factual' observations are absolute bollocks, because there are nothing that you've brought here that closely resemble facts rather than observations and accusations. Was there any real discussion that you wanted to have other than "Hur hurr he won"? Because so far we haven't spoken at all about the topic but rather about how big of an ass you are. There, I said it. I called you an ass, go run that torch into the ground now.

Hating someone is a perfectly valid reason for impeachment; the house can bring articles foreword for anything they want. Personally, Iโ€™m in the camp that forcing government resources to be funneled into your bank account, giving compromised individuals the highest security clearances and as well as giving the guests of Mar-a-lago classified information are all individually an impeachable offense.

The man lied to a direct question when sworn in under oath.

That's an actual crime, it's called perjury. He also was allowed to finish his term in office. He also was barred from ever practicing law again because of his actions.

To suggest it was because republicans hated him is fucking nonsense.

And your second link proves what literally no one has ever disagreed with: Russia "hacked" the election. Second link also makes zero connections to Trump.

And your second link proves what literally no one has ever disagreed with: Russia "hacked" the election.

Well, except for Trump, and all of his supporters, who still think it's "fake news".

Second link also makes zero connections to Trump.

Maybe actually read the articles you're posting? Two of those don't even have anything to do with Clinton, and the other two repeat the fact that they never once tried to help her chances:

The House and Senate intelligence committees plan to begin reviewing the Facebook ads in their investigations into Russiaโ€™s efforts to help Trump defeat Hillary Clinton in the 2016 election.

Some of the Twitter accounts also promoted anti-Hillary Clinton stories, a source with knowledge of the matter told CNN. The U.S. intelligence community believes one reason Russia meddled in the election was to damage Clinton's chances of winning.

I mean how hard is that? Did you think I wouldn't actually click on the links, or what?

I said, quoting myself:

Given these articles indicate the support of BLM, a left leaning cause, and the blacktivist facebook page, also highly left leaning I'd love to hear the rational you use for this to suggest that boosting visibility of left leaning groups and causes wouldn't benefit in some way a left leaning candidate.

Sigh. Ok, let's go through this. I don't know why I bother though.

Well everyone has been paying attention and no one is impeaching him, therefore clear evidence is not available for impeachment.

No. A lot of evidence has to be gathered, and Mueller is doing just that. In fact he just assembled his prosecution team a few days ago. This clearly means "there is no evidence" to you?

So yeah, on why grounds? Everyone would be ecstatic to have a legitimate legal leg (alliteration) to stand on to impeach the dumbass, but itโ€™s just not there.

Again, not sure why Mueller would have a giant team of prosecutors if there were no evidence.

And maybe he did, maybe he didnโ€™t, maybe fuck yours-NO! Dammit sorry it just comes out.

?

But seriously, maybe doesnโ€™t hold up well in an argument let alone court.

And no one in this country should ever be convicted of anything off of maybe.

Not saying they are. That's why the special council has been working so hard handing out subpoenas left and right to collect evidence.

Shit if I was ever on trial for murder Iโ€™d hate to hear โ€œyeah youโ€™re guilty on account of the fact that you may have murdered him.โ€

How about "Yeah we find you guilty because there's an absolute fuckton of evidence that you did it." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_interference_in_the_2016_United_States_elections. Go on and tell me, "oh that's not real evidence."

Donโ€™t get me wrong, Iโ€™m not the biggest fan of him

Yeah, you're not fooling anyone.

but everyone, no exceptions, deserves the benefit of the doubt in this country. Innocent until proven guilty and all ya know?

I agree. That's why he's going to get a trial and not a coup.

I doubt he'll last that long. He's under investigation for collusion, obstruction of justice, and treason by the FBI. His own party had to threaten him with impeachment already if he tried to fire the head of the FBI a second time to stop the investigation against him. His approval ratings have been in a constant decline since he got in office, and he embarrasses himself, his party, the office and the country every time he opens his mouth or goes on Twitter.

There are a number of cases being put together.

It's Sunday, I'm not really motivated to try to "win" an Internet argument, but it's more than him just being an ass. There's a reason Bob Mueller has a tough job right now.

Yeah but do 'liberals' say "the God Emperor is here to stay. Top Kek." or "the world's national academy of sciences have repeated their yearly statement on climate change urgently needing to be addressed"?

Just because two people accuse each other of something doesn't mean one isn't right and one isn't wrong.

But you're implying that all conservatives are like "TOP KEK" etc. Don't confuse internet trolls with conservatives. I'm pretty moderate and think climate change is a thing, because you know, scientific evidence. But I also can't stand a lot of the stuff coming from the left right now.

Don't assume that everyone who is to the right of your political views is somehow a meme-y edgelord on the internet. And also, just because someone does do stupid meme-y shit once in a while doesn't invalidate serious things they may have to say about politics.

They specifically responded to somebody saying that. They never said all conservatives, you're strawmanning.

Don't presume your soapbox is interesting or worthwhile when you're not even honest about what the conversation is, and just want to insert your own lecturing.

It makes perfect sense and you obviously can't answer it.

They replied to somebody who said "the God Emperor is here to stay. Top Kek" with that they couldn't wait until those people left politics, and you've responded with 'how dare you say that about all conservatives! they're not all like that!' - they never once mentioned all conservatives.

My point was pretty simple. Don't call people "losers" who you disagree with. That was why I made my initial comment. The clarification was due to your "look at me, I love science comment".

They didn't call them losers for disagreeing with them? They called them that because of their behavior. Why are you continuously so dishonest and think you're so interesting on a pseudo-intellectual soapbox?

If you want to lecture people, at least find people who deserve it?

I get it, you're really intellectual.

Never once said or implied, I called you on your dishonesty when you accused somebody of doing something they didn't, yet here you go again, thinking you're so intellectual that you can lecture people.

If you explained (coherently) why you think I'm being dishonest, then I'd listen and potentially change my view.

That was your explanation. It's true that OP didn't specifically mention "all conservatives" but my initial reply never said that they did. It just said that conservatives and liberals both call each other losers when they disagree.

My very first reply was: "Conservatives say the same about liberals they disagree with. Everyone has a right to participate in the political process for better or worse."

You replied with:

Yeah but do 'liberals' say "the God Emperor is here to stay. Top Kek." or "the world's national academy of sciences have repeated their yearly statement on climate change urgently needing to be addressed"? Just because two people accuse each other of something doesn't mean one isn't right and one isn't wrong.

My reply after that was a little soapbox-y, now that I read it over again. However, your response also implied that liberals don't do troll-y online things and climate change was specifically a liberal issue. So, I perhaps extrapolated a little too much from what you said, but I was not being dishonest.

Is this like when people say there's literally no evidence for global warming?

I mean aside from all the hundreds of financial connections (follow the money), the secret meetings with Putin that break protocol where even Trump's own translator isn't allowed, the fact that he seems to exclusively hire Russia-friendly people, the 50-odd times during his campaign that he said "Wouldn't it be nice if we could get along with Russia?" after they invaded Crimea, the firing of the FBI director that was investigating his ties to Russia, the demanding the DNI to release a statement that there's no ties between him and Russia, the handing over highly classified military intel to Russian officials, and so much more...

...we actually have the email they sent to Don Jr explicitly stating "This is the Russian government's support for your campaign".

This isn't a question of "did he collude" anymore, it's a question of "how much" and "how big will the charges be".

Historically, Presidential Campaigns have not worked with foreign adversaries and hired known Russian Political operatives as Campaign Chairman while having meetings with other Russian operatives who promise to give you anything to win. It's also true that Twitter, and it's use by Trump, has been an effective megaphone for Trump. It's also true that Twitter and Reddit is full of Russian Bots.

Now hang with. Former FBI directory Comey, was investigating Russian meddling into the 2016 election when Trump, within his power, fired Comey. If it turns out the piling of evidence can be tied to "What did Trump know and when did he Know it?" , then impeachment hearings will begin. It's not necessary to get every Republican vote.

From the group of 30,000 e-mails returned to the State Department, 110 e-mails in 52 e-mail chains have been determined by the owning agency to contain classified information at the time they were sent or received.

landon912 ยท 5 points ยท Posted at 19:58:29 on October 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)

I'll quote it all. Everyone should read it all. Part 1:

Good morning. Iโ€™m here to give you an update on the FBIโ€™s investigation of Secretary Clintonโ€™s use of a personal e-mail system during her time as Secretary of State.

After a tremendous amount of work over the last year, the FBI is completing its investigation and referring the case to the Department of Justice for a prosecutive decision. What I would like to do today is tell you three things: what we did; what we found; and what we are recommending to the Department of Justice.

This will be an unusual statement in at least a couple ways. First, I am going to include more detail about our process than I ordinarily would, because I think the American people deserve those details in a case of intense public interest. Second, I have not coordinated or reviewed this statement in any way with the Department of Justice or any other part of the government. They do not know what I am about to say.

I want to start by thanking the FBI employees who did remarkable work in this case. Once you have a better sense of how much we have done, you will understand why I am so grateful and proud of their efforts.

So, first, what we have done:

The investigation began as a referral from the Intelligence Community Inspector General in connection with Secretary Clintonโ€™s use of a personal e-mail server during her time as Secretary of State. The referral focused on whether classified information was transmitted on that personal system.

Our investigation looked at whether there is evidence classified information was improperly stored or transmitted on that personal system, in violation of a federal statute making it a felony to mishandle classified information either intentionally or in a grossly negligent way, or a second statute making it a misdemeanor to knowingly remove classified information from appropriate systems or storage facilities.

Consistent with our counterintelligence responsibilities, we have also investigated to determine whether there is evidence of computer intrusion in connection with the personal e-mail server by any foreign power, or other hostile actors.

I have so far used the singular term, โ€œe-mail server,โ€ in describing the referral that began our investigation. It turns out to have been more complicated than that. Secretary Clinton used several different servers and administrators of those servers during her four years at the State Department, and used numerous mobile devices to view and send e-mail on that personal domain. As new servers and equipment were employed, older servers were taken out of service, stored, and decommissioned in various ways. Piecing all of that back togetherโ€”to gain as full an understanding as possible of the ways in which personal e-mail was used for government workโ€”has been a painstaking undertaking, requiring thousands of hours of effort.

For example, when one of Secretary Clintonโ€™s original personal servers was decommissioned in 2013, the e-mail software was removed. Doing that didnโ€™t remove the e-mail content, but it was like removing the frame from a huge finished jigsaw puzzle and dumping the pieces on the floor. The effect was that millions of e-mail fragments end up unsorted in the serverโ€™s unusedโ€”or โ€œslackโ€โ€”space. We searched through all of it to see what was there, and what parts of the puzzle could be put back together.

FBI investigators have also read all of the approximately 30,000 e-mails provided by Secretary Clinton to the State Department in December 2014. Where an e-mail was assessed as possibly containing classified information, the FBI referred the e-mail to any U.S. government agency that was a likely โ€œownerโ€ of information in the e-mail, so that agency could make a determination as to whether the e-mail contained classified information at the time it was sent or received, or whether there was reason to classify the e-mail now, even if its content was not classified at the time it was sent (that is the process sometimes referred to as โ€œup-classifyingโ€).

From the group of 30,000 e-mails returned to the State Department, 110 e-mails in 52 e-mail chains have been determined by the owning agency to contain classified information at the time they were sent or received. Eight of those chains contained information that was Top Secret at the time they were sent; 36 chains contained Secret information at the time; and eight contained Confidential information, which is the lowest level of classification. Separate from those, about 2,000 additional e-mails were โ€œup-classifiedโ€ to make them Confidential; the information in those had not been classified at the time the e-mails were sent.

The FBI also discovered several thousand work-related e-mails that were not in the group of 30,000 that were returned by Secretary Clinton to State in 2014. We found those additional e-mails in a variety of ways. Some had been deleted over the years and we found traces of them on devices that supported or were connected to the private e-mail domain. Others we found by reviewing the archived government e-mail accounts of people who had been government employees at the same time as Secretary Clinton, including high-ranking officials at other agencies, people with whom a Secretary of State might naturally correspond.

This helped us recover work-related e-mails that were not among the 30,000 produced to State. Still others we recovered from the laborious review of the millions of e-mail fragments dumped into the slack space of the server decommissioned in 2013.

With respect to the thousands of e-mails we found that were not among those produced to State, agencies have concluded that three of those were classified at the time they were sent or received, one at the Secret level and two at the Confidential level. There were no additional Top Secret e-mails found. Finally, none of those we found have since been โ€œup-classified.โ€

I should add here that we found no evidence that any of the additional work-related e-mails were intentionally deleted in an effort to conceal them. Our assessment is that, like many e-mail users, Secretary Clinton periodically deleted e-mails or e-mails were purged from the system when devices were changed. Because she was not using a government accountโ€”or even a commercial account like Gmailโ€”there was no archiving at all of her e-mails, so it is not surprising that we discovered e-mails that were not on Secretary Clintonโ€™s system in 2014, when she produced the 30,000 e-mails to the State Department.

Part Two:

It could also be that some of the additional work-related e-mails we recovered were among those deleted as โ€œpersonalโ€ by Secretary Clintonโ€™s lawyers when they reviewed and sorted her e-mails for production in 2014.

The lawyers doing the sorting for Secretary Clinton in 2014 did not individually read the content of all of her e-mails, as we did for those available to us; instead, they relied on header information and used search terms to try to find all work-related e-mails among the reportedly more than 60,000 total e-mails remaining on Secretary Clintonโ€™s personal system in 2014. It is highly likely their search terms missed some work-related e-mails, and that we later found them, for example, in the mailboxes of other officials or in the slack space of a server.

It is also likely that there are other work-related e-mails that they did not produce to State and that we did not find elsewhere, and that are now gone because they deleted all e-mails they did not return to State, and the lawyers cleaned their devices in such a way as to preclude complete forensic recovery.

We have conducted interviews and done technical examination to attempt to understand how that sorting was done by her attorneys. Although we do not have complete visibility because we are not able to fully reconstruct the electronic record of that sorting, we believe our investigation has been sufficient to give us reasonable confidence there was no intentional misconduct in connection with that sorting effort.

And, of course, in addition to our technical work, we interviewed many people, from those involved in setting up and maintaining the various iterations of Secretary Clintonโ€™s personal server, to staff members with whom she corresponded on e-mail, to those involved in the e-mail production to State, and finally, Secretary Clinton herself.

Last, we have done extensive work to understand what indications there might be of compromise by hostile actors in connection with the personal e-mail operation.

Thatโ€™s what we have done. Now let me tell you what we found:

Although we did not find clear evidence that Secretary Clinton or her colleagues intended to violate laws governing the handling of classified information, there is evidence that they were extremely careless in their handling of very sensitive, highly classified information.

For example, seven e-mail chains concern matters that were classified at the Top Secret/Special Access Program level when they were sent and received. These chains involved Secretary Clinton both sending e-mails about those matters and receiving e-mails from others about the same matters. There is evidence to support a conclusion that any reasonable person in Secretary Clintonโ€™s position, or in the position of those government employees with whom she was corresponding about these matters, should have known that an unclassified system was no place for that conversation. In addition to this highly sensitive information, we also found information that was properly classified as Secret by the U.S. Intelligence Community at the time it was discussed on e-mail (that is, excluding the later โ€œup-classifiedโ€ e-mails).

None of these e-mails should have been on any kind of unclassified system, but their presence is especially concerning because all of these e-mails were housed on unclassified personal servers not even supported by full-time security staff, like those found at Departments and Agencies of the U.S. Governmentโ€”or even with a commercial service like Gmail.

Separately, it is important to say something about the marking of classified information. Only a very small number of the e-mails containing classified information bore markings indicating the presence of classified information. But even if information is not marked โ€œclassifiedโ€ in an e-mail, participants who know or should know that the subject matter is classified are still obligated to protect it.

While not the focus of our investigation, we also developed evidence that the security culture of the State Department in general, and with respect to use of unclassified e-mail systems in particular, was generally lacking in the kind of care for classified information found elsewhere in the government.

With respect to potential computer intrusion by hostile actors, we did not find direct evidence that Secretary Clintonโ€™s personal e-mail domain, in its various configurations since 2009, was successfully hacked. But, given the nature of the system and of the actors potentially involved, we assess that we would be unlikely to see such direct evidence. We do assess that hostile actors gained access to the private commercial e-mail accounts of people with whom Secretary Clinton was in regular contact from her personal account. We also assess that Secretary Clintonโ€™s use of a personal e-mail domain was both known by a large number of people and readily apparent. She also used her personal e-mail extensively while outside the United States, including sending and receiving work-related e-mails in the territory of sophisticated adversaries. Given that combination of factors, we assess it is possible that hostile actors gained access to Secretary Clintonโ€™s personal e-mail account.

So thatโ€™s what we found. Finally, with respect to our recommendation to the Department of Justice:

In our system, the prosecutors make the decisions about whether charges are appropriate based on evidence the FBI has helped collect. Although we donโ€™t normally make public our recommendations to the prosecutors, we frequently make recommendations and engage in productive conversations with prosecutors about what resolution may be appropriate, given the evidence. In this case, given the importance of the matter, I think unusual transparency is in order.

Although there is evidence of potential violations of the statutes regarding the handling of classified information, our judgment is that no reasonable prosecutor would bring such a case. Prosecutors necessarily weigh a number of factors before bringing charges. There are obvious considerations, like the strength of the evidence, especially regarding intent. Responsible decisions also consider the context of a personโ€™s actions, and how similar situations have been handled in the past.

In looking back at our investigations into mishandling or removal of classified information, we cannot find a case that would support bringing criminal charges on these facts. All the cases prosecuted involved some combination of: clearly intentional and willful mishandling of classified information; or vast quantities of materials exposed in such a way as to support an inference of intentional misconduct; or indications of disloyalty to the United States; or efforts to obstruct justice. We do not see those things here.

To be clear, this is not to suggest that in similar circumstances, a person who engaged in this activity would face no consequences. To the contrary, those individuals are often subject to security or administrative sanctions. But that is not what we are deciding now.

As a result, although the Department of Justice makes final decisions on matters like this, we are expressing to Justice our view that no charges are appropriate in this case.

I know there will be intense public debate in the wake of this recommendation, as there was throughout this investigation. What I can assure the American people is that this investigation was done competently, honestly, and independently. No outside influence of any kind was brought to bear.

I know there were many opinions expressed by people who were not part of the investigationโ€”including people in governmentโ€”but none of that mattered to us. Opinions are irrelevant, and they were all uninformed by insight into our investigation, because we did the investigation the right way. Only facts matter, and the FBI found them here in an entirely apolitical and professional way. I couldnโ€™t be prouder to be part of this organization.

The NFL has a much more diverse audience than NASCAR. That's not a fair comparison. Almost every guy I know, liberal or conservative, watches football, plays fantasy, has a favorite team, etc. While viewership is down (and there are a lot of reasons for that: the way we consume sports, downright disgraceful relocation of teams like the Rams and Chargers, the protests.. the list goes on) the league will be fine.

According to Article 2 of the Constitution, impeachment is outlined as "The President, Vice President, and all civil Officers of the United States shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other High Crimes and Misdemeanors." They pretty much have to commit a crime or do something pretty bad to get impeached. A President cannot be impeached because they are not liked by people.

So basically, the Trump campaign met with Russians and hired a known Russian Operative as Campaign Chairman. Then Trump fired his FBI Director as Comey was investigating Russian meddling in the 2016 Election. That is what what I have.
I'm sure Mueller has a ton more gas plus Trump's taxes.
It appears, public humiliation will be the only method to convince Trump voters how they were fooled into becoming Russian Lab Rats.

I think you are thinking the party flip was some kinda static event in time.

When the Know-Nothings get control, it will read, "All men are created equal except Negroes, and foreigners, and Catholics." When it comes to this I should prefer emigrating to some other country where they make no pretense of loving liberty - to Russia, for instance, where despotism can be taken pure, without the base alloy of hypocrisy."

In light of the Mueller Investigation and the admissions that have been leaked, "dumb" is not an adequate description. Insane is more suited to the Trump voter.

You can call bullshit but it's the truth. I grew up in a pretty well-off part of Texas which means that all my White friends are Republicans, hate Hilaries guts, and supported Trump in the election.

It's amazing the amount of clarity one (apparently) gets when their hatered of one candidate isn't clouding their decision in regards to the other. Their distaste for him is much less vitriolic than "FUCK TRUMP" though. They still agree with some of his policies, it's just that his antics make the party look bad and make things unstable.

Youโ€™re exchanging someone combatted from both sides/parties for someone who would likely have the full support of the majority party... not to mention that he believes smoking isnโ€™t harmful to oneโ€™s well-being, that shock-therapy is a โ€œcureโ€ for gayness, and that he considers sleeveless clothing to be revealing and inappropriate.

Probably get down voted for this, but I think this is the plan. Impeach trump after the primaries. Pence is president for the remainder, then runs again for two consecutive terms. This if it's acted out like that = 10 years.

Every time Trump interacts with a foreign head of state that decision becomes easier.

We need to survive the present before we worry about the future. I feel more confident that we'll be alive in 3-7 years with Pence at the helm.

What has he done to require impeachment? It has to be something he's done in office, and even then, we can't really do anything about it. I'm pretty sure the House of Representatives or the Senate has to start it, then it goes to the Supreme Court, then we get a decision.

Edit: I should specify, in order to impeach him, he has to commit a crime in office.

No, I generally don't pay attention to the news as I got tired of hearing "Trump this, Russians that, riots here, murder there." Also, I took a look at the clause you were talking about, and while yes, people are paying Trump's business for services rendered, they're not just handing him money. While I don't like the idea of a president owning a business outside of the presidency, and he shouldn't anyway, I can't get mad that people who stay at a hotel pay said hotel for giving them a room, as that's the reason it's a hotel. Just because someone we don't like owns it doesn't mean that everything it does is automatically bad.

Talking about politics, sociology and psychology is what I live for because it is what drives us as human beings.

I watch every press briefing, joint talk, every rally and remark made by the President, his cabinet and his opposition. I cross reference websites and fill my free time watching independent political commentators online. Hours, days, weeks, months and years of seeking out discussion and ways to find the truth led me to believe that Trump was our last hope for true independence and freedom.

He is willing to work with Democrats on important issues too. That is why I voted for him. He is a centrist who believes in nationalism. America First doesnt mean America alone. It is easy to see that Trumps America is good for business, foreign and domestic. I blame the DNC/RNC for selling out their own people, and for not having a candidate like Trump to talk about hard issues.

What, exactly, is an impeachable offense? It's a political action not a legal one. It can be literally anything Congress wants to (or chooses not to) impeach him for.

[deleted] ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 16:01:46 on October 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)

The US constitution spells it out in article 2 section 4. The important part below is "conviction of".

"The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors."

I'm not arguing that it's not a political process... the constitution defines the basis for impeachment and the political process for impeachment will not occur unless a party believes trump meets the constitutional requirement.

TIL the constitution is a "mystery world". Good stuff man.

[deleted] ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 21:05:46 on October 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)

You needs grounds for impeachment, a resolution to authorize an investigation for each impeachable offense, which is presented to the Senate who decides by a 2/3 vote whether or not the sitting President has violated the constitution. Short answer, the Senate by 2/3 vote to get a conviction.

balorina ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 21:11:51 on October 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)

You obviously haven't passed civics 101.

Articles of impeachment are drafted by the House. It's funny you deleted your initial post since you clearly have been proven wrong.

Congress can impeach the President for literally anything they want, it doesn't have to be a constitutional violation and nowhere is it said as such.

You have little to no reading comprehension ability. You just sided with me... i said, a resolution is brought to congress for each impeachable offense (which, yes, can technically be anything), but it has to be voted on by congress, which needs 2/3 vote in favor of the offense. You almost verbatim re-wrote what I said, and then said I was wrong. I'm honestly unsure if you're trolling or not...

No invading other countries for territorial gain

No laws telling anyone they can't be in business

No laws saying any group can't own property

No laws trying to keep Americans "pure"

All in all, he has turned out to be a half-assed Hitler.

Most Republicans would agree with you, absolutely, because their pro-corporate, religious fundamentalist agenda would easily progress. Remember, Republicans didn't want Trump in there either, and many tried to find ways to get him disqualified before the election. Trump would in turn capitalize on being impeached and become more popular than ever, increasing his own wealth, so being impeached would only help him too. Awesome. Winning.

Police and investigator teams are a reactive force. They're legally obligated to investigate all claims, even false ones. At the end of said investigation, if the allegations can be proven to be false, then those who pressed for it will be charged with a felony for reporting false claims to the police. It's a double edged sword. The best part about it is that felons lose their right to vote. Those parties who panicked and made false allegations have ultimately shot themselves in the foot, in regard to their foolish action. Must be difficult living the life of a socialist propaganda tool.

To me, this is even stupider than that argument. I mean, there was no evidence that Obama was born outside the US... but it would have at least been a reason for impeachment.

This sign is just arguing "impeach because I don't like him... impeach because my guy didn't win."

scruit ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 17:05:31 on October 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)

Depends on if he is removed for pre-election stuff or post- election stuff.

Post=pence would take over

Pre=Pence if the election is still considered legitimate. I donโ€™t know if a precedent exists for a presidential election being invalidated.

BaconPancakes1 ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 17:29:47 on October 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)

It also depends who else is implicated and who they remove from office (and whether Trump pardons anyone before resigning/being impeached). They could hypothetically remove Pence for his role in the campaign as well as Manafort, Flynn, etc and the presidency would go to Paul Ryan, unless he is also implicated, in which case it would go to the President Pro Tempore of the Senate, Orin Hatch.

After Hatch, the line of succession under Trump is:

Rex Tillerson

Steven Mnuchin

James Mattis

Jeff Sessions

There are two popular pro-Trump comments in this thread:

  • Impeach for what? Trump did nothing wrong?
  • Liberal are cry-babies

Both comments contradict themselves. If instead you would actually try to listen to what liberals are saying about him instead of dismissing it as cry-baby shit, maybe the first point would answer itself? Trump does wrong things nearly on a daily-basis, it's not hard to find it. And it's certainly not all just "hurting feelings" and things that people get wrongly annoyed about, there are very real rational points that deserves to be addressed. But yeah, just keep telling yourself that you are right just because you "won" against someone that even liberals didn't want.

Oh and also people who point out "how much did this shit cost?", well the answer is probably less than a fraction of what is invested into alt-right social media propaganda daily.

It's because liberals have been saying "Trump is a racist, fascist, homophobic, mysoginistic Nazi who's also a white supremacist and supports the KKK! Oh, and so is everyone who voted for him!!!".

I'm sure there are plenty of liberals who still have rational thoughts, but because of the screeching liberals, their voices are difficult to be heard.

Dunge ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 23:08:10 on October 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)

Of course, real liberals politicians or educated people with clear political ideologies wouldn't stoop down to the level of insult and say such things. The people you are talking about are more of the general populace even if they are not necessarily associating themselves with liberals politically.

But still, can you blame them? They might have strong words and exaggerate the issue, but it's still based on some truth. The only real thing differentiating Trump from others politicians and why people voted for him is nationalism (focus on American elitism) and anti-globalization (trying to restrain borders for trade, immigration as much as possible). And that's a perfectly normal behavior, it's ingrained deep in the human psyche to be fearful of others. Fear of terrorists also help to lead to that. There are political groups all over the world with similar programs and they aren't called nazis. On the other hand endorsing this kind of mindset and letting it uncontrolled do lead to people thinking really unethical shit, as we see more and more.

We shall see. I personally know way more people who have become supporters since the election than left their support for Trump. The media and liberal echo chamber doesnโ€™t reflect the true American sentiment. As we learned from the election shock and all of the polls and media coverage leading up to it. Either way, my 401k is kicking ass. Soon as the corporate tax reform comes into play. Forget about it. His approval is going up.

Damn, sorry for the late reply. I was super busy hanging out with antifa. We were blocking intersections trying to keep people from going to work because we can't land a job and we're bitter.

That damn Liberal Arts degree didn't do me any good and now I'm still stuck at home with my parents that never gave a shit about me (obviously), in massive student loan debt and unable to get a regular job because my hair is pink. I also have 27 face piercings and 14 tattoos and I keep forgetting to take off my mask at the interviews! I literally have no control over my life, so I joined antifa and protest against shit I don't know about.

I think I'll take tomorrow off and make edgy post about Trump on Facebook.

This gets asked a lot, because people know the Constitutional "high crimes and misdemeanors" but not the actual facets of the law behind it.

Impeachment is a political process, not a legal one. Congress could impeach him for not dressing down on dress down Friday, they could leave him in office after driving through times square mowing people down with a 50 cal.

Whether he faces any crime AFTER becomes a criminal matter. He could also be re-elected if he has yet to serve two terms. See relevant SCOTUS cases

PragMalice ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 02:01:21 on October 2, 2017 ยท (Permalink)

The problem lies in the fact that we've simply allowed the government to assume too much power despite being a system that was initially designed with extremely limited power. Now that significant power is in hand (and it seems to grow even more as time passes), there's too much at stake for political entities not to rally behind a single compromise of a representative of their collective agendas and do whatever it takes to ensure their representative wins over the opponent. If your base splits to support some weak 3rd party candidate then you are practically handing power to what your base considers a worst alternative. Better to bribe/extort/lie/etc to win than to even consider having an honest political discourse.

The bottom line is that the only best candidate is obviously team me and mine. It doesn't matter if you don't have feasible solutions to real problems so long as you're able to prevent your opponents from having/doing anything meaningful, useful, and most importantly potentially harmful to your own future prospects of winning.

Your political leaders are nothing but a bunch of finger pointing teenagers yelling "yeah but blank did this". Your president is such a big idiot that he accused the former president of founding ISIS. Also no, nk nukes can't reach the USA from Korea but they can be launched from ships that can make up that distance.

Did you forget that those allegations were literally false allegations that were made up in a panic because the Democratic Party was getting caught up for all of their very real and provable through evidence corruption/illegal activity? Even a top official of a News company (wasn't it NBC?) was recorded on tape admitting that they made it up. Propaganda is not equal to evidence.

Edit: also is it just me or do people seem to have no understanding of what impeachment means? I feel like most of the people I hear say this think it means heโ€™ll be kicked out of office or something. Impeach him! ....thatโ€™s not what it means. First off what specifically do you want to impeach him for? What crime should he go before Congress to answer for? And what do you expect to happen? Bill Clinton was impeached. Nothing happened.

This billboard is a digital one at the bay bridge to San Francisco and is one of the most expensive billboards in the US to lease (have a friend that works for clear channel). This is because 200k people a day get to wait for sometimes up to 45 minutes in the toll plaza for the privilege of paying $6 to cross the bridge. Just one more expense in the most expensive place to live in the US (I'm not bitter at all).

Do you honestly believe that the Mueller investigation won't affect trump, what with it exclusively focusing on trump associates? Don Jr willing to take that meeting with a foreign power that promised damaging information is pretty damning. I don't buy the "opposition research" angle either. Do your own opposition research without committing treason. Trumps whole beef with sessions is because he recused himself, and therefore cannot interfere with the Mueller investigation. Trump stated he fired comey because of the Russia investigation. Stupid Watergate will almost certainly lead to trump resigning, or squeaking through one term unless the democrats take over the house in 2018.

As someone from the rest of the world, it's not because you have a businessman president, it's because your president is destroying your government departments, global reputation with world leaders, and domestic peace. He is performing atrociously and it has ramifications around the world. Those who stand by him are choosing to ignore a crisis.

BaconPancakes1 ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 18:25:24 on October 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)

That's the same for both sides, but it's a give and take - you will be influenced by those around you, but it's you who decides who to spend the most time around and what radio/tv/etc to consume. A lot of Trump supporters will listen to radio stations they agree with and dismiss other sources. It's something we all have to do to an extent to filter the large amounts of media, by preference. My opinions are still the responsibility of myself, and when I see a situation (e.g. Puerto Rico, but whatever) then read Trump's personal statements on Twitter in response to those situations, and I form an opinion about whether I think he's right or wrong, that's me thinking about what I believe would be the correct response and how aligned Trump is with that response.

APossessedKeyboard ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 20:10:21 on October 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)

Hate me if you want, but I know for a fact that I'm less impressionable than most people. Most people tend to go with the flow and form their outward personality around how they they they are wanted to be perceived. It even gets to the point where they end up believing whatever they originally thought they should and don't have any sense of personal identity other than their perceived societal standards.

Also, the media understands this concept better than most. They specifically put a spin on stories and present them in a way to force their point of view on people and make them think a certain way. You're just one of the sheep. Easily distracted and led along.

BaconPancakes1 ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 22:13:21 on October 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)

I don't hate you, but I think you have a very poor estimation of other people. I understand the media spins the truth to fit the business' message, because newspapers and tv stations are primarily businesses. I understand that coverage of events will be discussed and acquired with bias no matter how you acquire it, but that bias can be reduced by analysing various sources and being critical of what you consume. This is the same for all information, right or left. I don't understand why you think I am blind for leaning left, when you are subject to the same bias from the right.

APossessedKeyboard ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 22:20:30 on October 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)

Because I'm not. I'm independant. The right and left are basically businesses themselves, looking to gain endorsement and donations. They don't care about people at all. But the level of spin and slander against one guy is just over the top and seems really obvious to me that it is mostly bull hockey.

BaconPancakes1 ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 22:27:11 on October 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)

That one guy is in a position of incredible influence and power over your (I assume?) country. If the reason you think criticism against Trump is misguided is because you simply don't care about the situation and can't imagine why others would then why give those who do grief? It's an over the top situation and those who do care about people and their future have serious, well founded concerns about the man in the oval office, but if you're too independant to care about the rest of the country then don't take part in the conversation. If you're truly so independant you never come across any information from the right or left it's astounding you know anything about the political situation at all.

You all just whine about things that aren't true, though. Like he's sexist and racist and a rapist and not doing this or that.

A better idea would be to spend those time and efforts getting people out of poverty, educating them and giving them good health care, then they won't be stupid enough to vote for someone like Trump again in future - or find themselves overlooking someone like Sanders in favour of a Clinton vs Trump freakshow.

I don't, he has opened is mouth so many times and stuck his foot in it but still not worth an impeachment.

However at this moment the rest of us are laughing at the states because to the outside you have a brainless, unsympathetic ape at the head of it, and you folks are just a joke right now.

We elected Trump knowing exactly who he is. His tweets allow him to speak to the country without being misconstrued and its nice to have a President who is a "fighter". You can laugh all you want but GDP is up, stock markets are up, employment is down, business enthusiasm is up, illegal immigration has slowed down, and respect for the country is coming back. Trump took up politics as a side gig and destroyed both of the major established political parties. Since the govt has become too overbearing, it was time for change, which is even encouraged by the Founding Fathers.

The Declaration of Independence says that we not only have the right but we also have theย dutyย to alter or abolish any government that does not secure our unalienable rights, including life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness

He made a few decisions that people don't agree with? Yeah, that's what presidents do, like obammy killing US citizens with drones. It's like that moron librarian refusing the Dr. Seuss books from the First Lady citing her bullshit fake reasons. Meanwhile there are photos of her dressed up in Dr. Seuss garb. In addition, why was it not such a big deal when obammy's man-wife read the same books to kids?

My issue is that Trump isnโ€™t healthy for the country, but isnโ€™t he better than what Pence would do if he became President. You would just be getting rid of one bad President for an arguably worse one.

Pence would be a better figurehead for the country, but besides that, he would be even more extreme in his policies than Trump.

Calm your tits everyone. There has been an impeach Trump billboard or some form of billboard insulting Trump in FL on the path he would take from the airport to Maralago since he was elected. It's on Southern Blvd at I95 for anyone interested. Other than impeach trump which has been up twice it also had a long run advertisement for the Trump show on comedy central. They do it hoping he sees it but clearly have no idea how a snowbirds schedule works.

Not sure why everyone cares that California has one or is acting like its because they are liberal. Anyone can pay for a billboard anywhere and have the right to openly hate him and yell for his removal from office, just as people did to every other president ever in any of our lifetimes.

Do people realize that he will still be President if he is impeached (Clinton was impeached and completed his term in office)? And that you have to impeach him for something, so making a billboard without some concrete reason is sort of pointless.

I have always believed that Donald Trump is a plant placed among the Republicans by the Democrats. Trump has donated millions to Democrats in the past including the Clintons. He is a well known flip flopper on most of the issues he's run on. You cannot convince me this multi divorced, say whatever the hell i want asshole somehow represents the party of traditional morality and family values.

The original goal was probably to undermine the other legitimate Republican candidates that posed a real threat to Hil. Mission Accomplished.

Once the primaries were over Trump seemed determined to sabotage his own campaign. Perhaps trying to ensure Hil would get elected in a landslide. This is not a dumb man were talking about. Trump is known as a shrewd operator in business. Yet somehow he seemed to constantly step on his own toes.

The Russian collusion and interference may have even been a part of the plan. Set up on purpose by US Intelligence as a pretext for future sanctions on Russia.

I do not however think he was supposed to win. Im fairly sure Trump's main goal was more attention to his brand hence more revenue. Trump has famously said all press be it positive or negative, is good press and is good for business.

But he did win, narrowly and so the plan would have had to be adjusted and expanded upon. If Donald Trump is indeed a Democratic plant posing as a Republican in the White House, his new goals would most likely be...

1.Undermine Republican Policies in Congress. Trump clearly brought more attention to health care than the GOP wanted and contributed nothing but negativity to the campaign for repealing and replacing Obamacare. Now they're saying tax reform, something Republicans have excelled at passing in the past, may be up in the air.

2.Create growing rifts between the Republican party and cultural groups throughout the country pushing more voters into the democratic block. Trump has publicly insulted races, religions, and cultural segments of our society on a daily basis. Not very smart politically.

3.Shatter the idea that putting a Republican President in power, is a good idea. Day after day the people are being bombarded with negativity towards the President. The job of drawing people from the left and center into the right has gotten much harder since Trump's first day in office.

I'm sure there's alot more I could add to this, and I know the majority of people I share this theory with will completely disagree with me, but the more you look at what's going on now and what's happened up till now... you can kinda see it

It's not like being hungry and seeing a billboard for Wendy's being at the next exit and thinking, 'oh good I can eat there' - I dont think there are enough motorists driving this highway who are one billboard away from being convinced this should happen.

Probably not. But I find it astounding how a guy who uses his incompentence as a way to keep the media busy, can remain seated as the president of (arguably) the most powerful nation in the world. Roughly 95% of the world population is not American. Yet their way of life is influenced in some degree by the US foreign policies. How do you think Trump is affecting the opinion about the US, for all these people?

I hope this billboard is a start of something larger. If things do not change, I fear for the (already fragile) stability in this world. And I will blame the American public. You voted him into office. And you kept him there until the shit hit the fan.

Ok, I'm going to break in and just say with all the "Everyone should do what they feel like" mindset that most younger Americans have about race, gender and sexuality, why in the world is this crap showing up? President Trump was not a good candidate for the spot, in my honest opinion he can be an idiot. But that being said, if I were to make similar harsh remarks to someone that wasn't the President but was as equally arrogant, who would be the bad guy? Me right? But my opinion matters, right?

Does anybody realize that the POTUS is a person? Please stop and think before you bash a political figure. A good question to ask is "Would I say this to his face?" Or another good one is "would say this to a persons face"

And to all the grammar and writing police, you give me all the corrections you please!

You use the word "good", I do not think it means what you think it means.

Maybe if you Americans actually got off your asses to vote, you wouldn't have to impeach your idiot president. Instead you let the morons of the country outvote you.

Trump supporters arent just the morons of the country. We are small business owners, critical thinkers, lawyers, police, and everyday citizens. Dont be fooled by the hateful media into thinking Trumps base is a bunch of losers. We are actually the winners!

Oh, and how's that working out for you? Your dumbass president is taking away human rights, fucking up our Canadian economy with his policies and appointing nurses to do doctors jobs.

Also dont you people understand that a nuclear war with north Korea can't be won? You cant nuke them without destroying the south and even if you win, nukes will still reach American ground, killing millions of civilians.

Its slow but steady. If Congress wasnt filled with such unproductive people there would be real change, instead of this mild reforming. A nuclear NK would never had existed if previous administrations actually handled the situation. NK now has nuclear capabilities that need to be discussed and solutions need to be found. They could reach SK, Japan and a few other places, but they dont have technology yet to reach the mainland US.

Impeach on what grounds?

The retard left have had most of this year and have yet to produce a shred of evidence of malpractice.

California is a liberal shithole.
