All entirely predictable. The deal was skewed so far to the Israeli side it was never going to be acceptable to the Palestinians.

The 1947 UN plan had a little map too.

Just read about Il Duce's booboo on where the Chiefs play: Trump Mistakenly Congratulates Kansas City, Kan., on Its Super Bowl Win - The New York Times
Not a major slip up, but if I'd made it in his shoes, I'd have smiled, apologised and made a joke about going back to geography lessons for a couple of weeks. That would have been one of the approaches which would bring a divided nation together though. Not what Don wants. A shame, that.Could there be any greater conceit, than for someone to believe that the universe has to be simple enough for them to be able to understand it ? |

As I suspected would happen from the jump, Trump has been acquitted. I attribute this mostly to the lackluster allegations and sloppy job legitimizing a case against him. I thought the Articles of Impeachment were very shoddy and very weak. Also, predictably, this just bolstered his base even further. Donald Trump, whether we like it or not, has a better chance now than ever to be a two-term president.
I wish they had not proceeded with the articles until they had something substantial and incontrovertible against him. I understand the desire to proceed given the timing of the election, but if you don't have a good case then you run the risk of increasing his popularity -- he's some kind of teflon mafia don now.

i attribute it mostly to the republicans being spineless Every single Democrat voted Guilty and every single Republican (with the exception of Mitt Romney) voted Not Guilty. If this isn't partisan politics then I don't know what is. We have a deeply flawed system. "Reason obeys itself; and ignorance submits to whatever is dictated to it" -- Thomas Paine

Every impeachment incident has been along party lines. Impeachment is a political function. With one exception. We've had three presidential trials in US history, one per century. In the Johnson and Clinton trials, no senator of the President's party voted to convict and remove. None. This time there was something new: a senator of the same party as the President voted to convict and remove. Therefore, in a historic first we did have a bi-partisan vote to convict and remove Trump.
