The most hilarious thing about Americans (and this isn't just Republicans. Both sides do it all the time, to be perfectly clear. It just happens that the Democrats appear to be in the right this once on this case) is how they delude themselves into thinking that people voting something shouldn't matter. Absolutist Europe wasn't this opposed to the population of a country having a voice -any voice-, even at its worst.

Yes you are correct San Lumen, it should be changed to popular vote elections, or the electoral college votes should be proportional to population and the candidates, but President Trump won under the electoral college rules.

Which many Democrats did not want to accept, called and threatened the electoral college electors to vote against President Trump, which should be declared illegal by the US Supreme Court on all US Presidential elections.

The Democrats have been trying to find political dirt on President Trump from the first day of the 2016 elections, this should be investigated too by the Democrats and Republicans on the House intelligence committee and on the Senate committee.

I think it is beginning to be investigated by the Republicans on the Senate committees, they will probably find a lot of political dirt on the Democrats screaming for Trump's political impeachment and on Joe Biden and his son Hunter, they should be investigated too, like it or not Joe Biden and his son Hunter are part of this Trump political impeachment attempt by the Partisan Democrats especially during an election season.

Why? It's not a crime to look for dirt on politicians. It's actually one of the most important functions of a free press.

Yes we finally agree, both President Trump, the Democrats, Joe Biden and his son Hunter should be investigated by the Press, but lets not keep denying this impeachment attempt against President Trump by the Partisan Democrats is not Political especially during an election season.

You used a double negative there that I don't think you intended.

And of course it's political. It's also the right thing to do if there is evidence that a sitting President has committed a crime. He'll get his day in court (the Senate) to raise reasonable doubt, just like every other person for whom there is evidence that they have committed a crime.

I think President Trump has not committed an impeachable crime, I think their is no proof beyond a doubt of obstruction, collusion, pressures on the Ukraine President, quid pro quo and blackmail, just like millions of American citizens who support President Trump.

While I speak and write perfect Spanish and English, I am very bad with Spanish and English grammar structure, like verbs, adverbs and such, I don't know a double negative if I met one lol. but I think I have improved a lot.

All I ask is for my posts not to be put down, made fun of and with insults that break the NS rules against me as wrong and your posts as right, that is un American to me and to any American citizen. I never say the same about your posts, but yes you can all say anything you want, just like I can say anything I want back, without breaking any NS rules of decency.

So we can lay this Ukraine thing to rest then. After all, even if everything in the complaint was true that's still not a crime.

The process of impeachment is political no matter how you spin it. Just like now you have the effort to announce it’s political therefore not valid.

You won’t see Hunter be seriously investigated. It’s just donnie shitspewing. If Hunter was investigated; it would open the door to look at his children and their activities.

A double negative changes the meaning of the sentence to the exact opposite of what you intended it to mean. Based on what you wrote, you believe the impeachment process against Donald is NOT political. I was trying to help you out, not put you down. Grow a thicker skin.

Unless he resigns first. Although, unlike any other citizen of the USA the POTUS can poll the jury (US Senators) before and during his trial. Particularly from his own party. Then he can resign and avoid removal, blame it on partisan politics and go home. However, if he is in violation of US or state laws he may not be at home for long. This previous sentence is where the rubber meets the road for Donald J. Trump. Of course, Stormy Daniels has noted that he carries no rubber. :eyebrow:

I know I always say it is political, my prediction which I have already posted on this thread and added on here is, the Democrats will have enough votes on the House to impeach Trump and the Republicans will have enough votes to not convict Trump in the Senate, it will be along political lines.

Even if a few Republican US Senators vote against President Trump, Mitt Romney who I like for many reasons as a Republican and on my pet issue of Cuba on NS, seems to be the one most likely to vote against Trump, but if his district base is against it, he would be very stupid to vote to convict President Trump, the same goes for other Republican Senators.
