this is the kind of stuff that normally would cause a rational person to say "that's too crazy to believe" but in the age of trump nothing is too crazy.
I fully expect to wake up tomorrow morning and tell people, "You wouldn't believe the dream I had last night - Donald Trump was elected President.... Stop laughing.... Stop laughing...."

A USA Today/Suffolk University Poll contained some very interesting numbers. Naturally it reflected the recent change that a plurality of Americans favor impeachment and removal from office, and it showed the Democratic numbers much higher than the Republican, but I found the numbers on a few other related issues more interesting.
10% of Democrats and 36% of Republicans think the whistleblower is a traitor, despite the very specific definition of treason in the Constitution that makes that impossible. Only 56% of Americans know that impeachment begins in the House, only 55% that impeachment is not removal, and only 62% that it takes a 2/3 majority vote in the Senate for removal. Only 15% expect removal through impeachment. Very few expect resignation. Unrelated to the poll, one question I've seen discussed among pundits is whether the House should focus narrowly on just the whistleblower chargers, i.e., have just a single article, or whether it should should include articles on obstruction of justice, campaign violations, emoluments, politicization of executive branch departments, and an absence of the candor expected of someone in high office. --Percy

I've been watching the spectacle in America on various channels for the last few weeks. I was in what we call the bundus. No internet connection, but satellite tv is available everywhere. What I really got from it was that, every time The Orange Thing appeared saying something on tv, there was tumultuous laughter. Coupled with great curiosity about what The Orange Thing wanted to say.
I also understand why Africa looks at China for leadership. No clown as a leader.

I noticed a fairly strong chinese presence hear in South Africa. The guesthouse we are staying at seems to be owned by a chinese company. In Zambia, Botswana and Zimbabwe there seemed to be a lot of Chinese signs and tradenames also.
Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts "God did it" is not an argument. It is an excuse for intellectual laziness. If your viewpoint has merits and facts to back it up why would you have to lie?

Perhaps there really is a "Yellow Brick Road".

I say "do it all". And take as much time as you want, even up to election day 2020. Get maximum exposure to the wallowing in slime that is Trump and the Republican party. The bottom line is that I have a lot of faith in the wisdom of Nancy Pelosi, to do it right as possible. Moose

Hi Jon
JonF writes: Trump said he would withdraw U.S. forces from northern Syria. How many troops are in that area to bring home? God Bless"John 5:39 (KJS) Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me."

He’s threatened to destroy the Turkish economy if they do anything. Whether Erdogan will take that seriously is another matter.
There’s enough criticism from the GOP that it might make a difference if Impeachment goes through. I doubt that it would be enough to get a conviction, but enough to be embarrassing. Trump was also handed another defeat in court - being President doesn’t put him beyond investigation so his tax returns may not be secret much longer.

Throws (Christian) Kurds to the wolves. Correction: "Throws (Christian) Kurds to the (Muslim) wolves."
