Re: On a weird note...
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...."

And just how many hundred years would you suggest we prepare to keep troops there?
It seems like an efficient and effective use of troops, unlike most of the military adventures that the US gets involved in. They should be doing it in many more places around the world.

If you don't like the decision they have made get your senator and enough other senators to declare war on Turkey and go in and literate them.
If the only option is war, it was pretty stupid to pull the troops out.

But I am familiar with heavy equipment that requires a lot of fuel to be able to move and do work. Some I have run burned 300 gallons of diesel per day.
My electricity is generated by coal. The draglines that dig it up weigh up to 5700 tons and have buckets up to 98 cubic yards. I toured one in 1966 but I didn't get a chance to see it walk.
They run on electricity.

It has a kitchen, bedrooms, bathrooms, engine room, and operations room. Machine operates 24/7 and stops only for maintenance, or breakdown.
The generators were powered by two 16 cylinder diesel engine's. The machine had a 2,000 gallon fuel tank.
The ones around here need no kitchens or bedrooms because they're only a few miles from civilization. The crews go home after their shifts.
And as far as I know, they get their electricity by cable.

Because you can measure the results by having a controlled group ingesting different amounts of alcohol, some with no alcohol, and seeing the results based on the amounts consumed along with their respective alcohol content. It doesn't get more measurable than that in order to determine how accurate it is.
That's exactly what the RCMP do when they train their members to use breathalyzers.

Perhaps the dems should have those who have ignored the subpoenas arrested -- the way every other citizen would be treated.
After all, subpoena means "under penalty".

This impeachment will not amount to one damn thing that's useful.
I heard one commentator say that the impeachment is necessary to show the rest of the world that the US still respects the rule of law.

That's the problem. A President is supposed to be owned by the voters.

That's what I said.

trump appeals to the religious right. that's who he caters to.
That's where he goes wrong. As you said yourself, he SHOULD be representing ALL of the voters. Instead, he only serves his own interests (re-election).

so bottom line is trump probably bungled the election on purpose. he doesn't want it anymore.
We can only hope you're right.
He can use whatever whiny childish excuse he wants as long as he's the hell out of there in November.

in a way he has disappointed his religious right constituents.
