Just reading about him banging on about how the Ukrainians have 'got the server' when firstly there's no single server (there's 140 of them and they're in the cloud) and secondly the whole 'Crowdstrike' are Ukrainian (they're not, they're owned by a Russian) and in on it has been thoroughly debunked.

None of this makes any difference to Trump.  He'll get off and likely be reelected in 2020.

Genuine question, are you trolling or that fucking stupid that you blame Obama for the financial meltdown - something that happened before he took office?

So let me get this straight.

The GFC happened before Obama so Bush is at fault.

And yet can't give Trump any credit for one of the biggest booms in US History?

You can blame Alan Greenspan for the inevitability of the GFC.

Very symbolic, considering the local councils there were stacked with pro-China lickspittles.  Grass roots politics is very important however not much will change in the short term & China won't allow too much fucking around with it's Golden Goose that is Hong Kong.  They don't want another Taiwan which it's obviously that the protesters who are being gently encouraged by USA & Britain want.

I think Carrie Lam is cooked and will be replaced as the fallout from all this.

I have no love for the orange man however this is a perversion of democracy, he's done absolutely nothing that can justify impeachment.  

This is the last roll of the dice Dem's, if this impeachment fails they'll be destroyed in the next election.

I think they already knew that they were heading that way, this is just to sow seeds of doubt and to get some good sound bites for upcoming campaign ads.

Could easily see this blowing up in their face.

Trump impeachment inquiry: The case for and against


https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-50663128


If Clinton can be impeached for perjury (I.E. lying about a headjob he got from a chubby lass) then Trump's impeachment, by the Republican's own standards, is a lay down misere.

For someone who claims to have had the 'perfect phone call' with Zelensky it would be interesting to see the full, unredacted transcript of that call as well as all of the people involved that have been barred from appearing forced to appear.

Because apparently 'there's nothing to hide' right?

Will be very interested in seeing the defense presented.

End of the day it will go nowhere, but will there be enough doubt cast on Trump to affect him in 2020.

This is where I am not sure. Will it ultimately matter (i.e. will voters care that he has taken advantage of his position)?

I think the Dems may have an endgame of taking back the Senate more than the White House.

Yeh that's true as well.

It's just a bit rich when you see seppos on FB talking up Trump like this guy who sacrificed his time to come and save the average Joe American lol.

Or staunch defenders of the constitution, but when it comes to the Constitution being abused possibly, it's totally ok.

But if it was a President that wasn't on "their team" the its also ok to smash em.

When the opposition is in complete tatters and the leader is the biggest loony in politics it shouldn't have gone any other way. 
Though boris is a complete knob and i think brexit will be the worst decision the uk could make in a generation,  corbin getting in would be worse than trump.

Asosciating with terrorists & Israel haters never helped his cause. 

Mind you the British Foreign Office never liked Israel much anyway, probably to appease their Saudi patrons.
