Not the end result yet , Mr. Trump ... the upcoming elections will show ...

 

Anyway , the outcome of this impeachment was clear long time ago already , as the Republicans in control were not expected to do anything that could harm their master ...

So this is just a show like most of that ( political ) business .

What a great idea!!  If Pelosi, Schumer, etc can all stay in Office for over 3 decades, then why cannot the POTUS? 

 

Trump in Office for more than 2 terms is a great idea - I am sure everyone would support that ????

 

The only problem is that Trump is getting on a bit - he will get old one day - not as bad as Pelosi, but he will get old.

 

But there is a good thing too - if Trump annoints the next POTUS - Pence or otherwise - that person would be able to stay in Office forever ????

 

 

You're kidding, right?

He may very well do just that at least he is the real deal not a bilko artist like trump and I dare say he reflects the American ideal much more so than the troll in chief imo

Bloomberg has a real shot but he's not the only credible democratic possibility to get rid of 45. 

[Eric Loh]

The Rep senators gave Trump carte blanche for his behavior and normalized lawlessness. Good luck America. You deserve Trump. Rest of the world will wait for the decoupling of relationship and economy from Trump’s xenophobic MAGA.

I get the impression that when DT meets a legitimate successful businessman he cringes, feeling they can see right through him, spotting him as a phoney.

Trump has taught the GOP how to fight and win.

 

In the past, the GOP has characteristically cowered and hid under their desks when confronted with media criticism and Democrat lies and vitriol.  Trump has been the first one to fight back effectively.  

 

Over the years, I've watched Republican politicians just stand there and take it -- head down, shuffling their feet, trying to be statesman-like at a dirty tricks gunfight.  No more.  

 

And to top it off at the White House Rally, Trump announced the confirmation of MORE JUDGES!  Mitch went right to work after the impeachment sham was over.  There are now 191 Originalist judges on the federal bench.  In reading the other day, there is a strong possibility that there could be as many as 100+ more added before the end of this term.

 

The tactics of the Brawler from Queens is exactly what the Republican party needed to keep the country consistent with its founding principles -- defend the Constitution, promote Free Enterprise, nurture Individual Liberty.

 

The "America First" doctrine marches on.

 

STEADY WINNING.

On the flip side the DFL has taught Trump how dirty things can get. Even a sleazy business man from Manhattan isn't prepared for the pure ugliness of the human soul that encompasses DC in general and the dems in particular.

So is half of the USA with similar results like this.... People here are experiencing huge growth and increases of wealth, daily. Literally people who were only middle class last ear are approaching becoming millionaires. 

 

I don't think any of us people are tired of that.

Yes, reports from the Department of Labor and Department of Commerce have indicated that median income has risen from $60,000 annually to $65,000 annually.  Additionally, the largest wage increases have occurred at the blue collar level of earners.

 

Through the "America First" doctrine, Trump has been successful in decoupling Main Street from Wall Street.  This has allowed both to grow well, and has prevented the globalist view on Wall Street from having an adverse affect on Main Street.

I must be mistaken but I was under the impression that a fair trial, allowed all evidence to be presented by the prosecution and that the defence then addressed the issues truthfully. The jury the decided upon facts .

Amazing what happens when your minions refuse to hear new evidence or witnesses...trump always had a majority that would deliver the verdict he craved, so what were they so scared of?

The small investor is a reality that is not reported enough. These days forget index funds and bonds and what some idiotic broker tells you to do. The market is going up because of Trump but also more people are buying. Fractional shares just became common place along with no commission trades.

 

You are about to see the biggest gains in the history of the market because it takes very very little money to participate now. 

 

The biggest fallacy the dems perpetuate is that you gotta be rich to benefit. Nothing is further from the truth.

Yeah - a bit.

I reckon all politicians, like the POTUS, should serve limited terms.

2 Terms for POTUS is good rule.  But I would like Trump for another 1 or 2.

3 Terms for House is my preference, and 4 Terms for Senators.

So not an acquittal at all. Just a farcical waste of money and time, and allows another twist of facts.

Trump exemplifies everything the world loves to hate about Americans. Brash, overbearing, uncouth and bullying. However, he brings a new “value” to the table; that of lying and cheating (so 2 values actually). 
 

I doubt that he is liked by any world leader, though I am sure they love having him as the butt of their jokes. Quite sad actually.

3 terms for House would 6 years.  4 terms for Senators would be 24 years.

 

I'd prefer 4 terms for House at 8 years and 2 terms for Senate at 12 years.

It's time for Dems to unite behind one candidate, virtually any one of them. They are all good people with good ideas. THEN, the remaining 10, plus so many others currently out of politics, should organize into a full time group to oust Trump. Bring lawsuits against him, do investigations into further wrong doing such as sexual harassment, illegal business dealings, and anything they can dig up from individuals in foreign countries to nail the coffin shut on this maggot.

Bloomberg for president. He is the best shot we have to oust the destructive deflector in chief.

Ooops - what I meant was POTUS election terms - 4 years.

But as you point out - the Reps and Sens have different 'terms'.

 

8 years for House and 12 years for Senate sounds good to me.

Every POTUS election also becomes 1/2 of the House and 1/3 of the Senate.

Can’t have an acquittal without a trial and witnesses period. Any thing less is an abdicate of oaths and constitutional duties like in some 3rd banana republic. Like a kangaroo court and authoritarian regime. Democracy totally flawed like Thailand.

They hate us cuz they ain't us. Meanwhile their central banks all do business with the NYSE because of negative interest rates. They are in real trouble. They finance their systems in the USA. 

 

Apple and Microsoft together out perform the entire German economy.

I Like Mike too but he's not the only candidate that can beat 45 and be a much, much better president (doesn't take much actually).

 

It's also very encouraging that Bloomberg has promised whether he's nominated or not (probably not) that he will spend super big bucks to help the democrats take the presidency, senate, and keep the house in 2020.

If that irrational hubris of the small investor isn't a market top I don't know what is. SELL whilst you can , whilst there is a window in which you can and bank your profits. I have and I'm sitting pretty whatever happens. We are in the shoeshine boy moment just before the Great Depression hits and destroys wealth just as quickly as it created it.

I am an investor like that. I am making more than I ever dreamed. I am not that smart I just save and invest. I buy MA I don't use Mastercard. The figures are astounding under Trump. I will be a millionaire soon.

 

Unless Bernie gets elected of course. 50% of Americans are about to get huge gains. The rest poop on the streets of SF. 

 

I buy from people like you.
