MAGAThread XVII: All Things NOT Impeachment

[Fartsniffage]

I know. That's why I said congress and not congress and senate.

The senate is part of congress.

Congress is our bicameral legislature, containing two houses, the senate and the House of Representatives.

Again, I know. But in common parlance you have congress people and senators.

I honestly didn't think it would be contentious....but this is NSG....

That’s not really common parlance on our side of the pond. It would be confusing to a US native to use “congresspeople” but be excluding senators.

Congresspeople (or, more commonly, “congresscritters” or more generally “those bastards”) refers to both representatives and senators here.

But the official titles are Congressman/Congresswoman or Senator.

We usually say “representative”.

Okay.

[Cannot think of a name]

We usually say “representative”.

Okay.

For the record I knew exactly what you meant and didn't need any pedantic clarification.

[Galloism]

We usually say “representative”.

Okay.

For instance, if you go to Tulsi Gabbard’s website, she calls herself Representative Tulsi Gabbard, and she has a video of CNN interviewing her over the false missile attack warning in Hawaii, where they show her as “Rep. Tulsi Gabbard”.

That’s their official title, and how they’re generally referred to.

Congresspeople refers to both.

[Galloism]

I really didn’t - I’d never heard it used that way ever.

[Fartsniffage]

Congresspeople refers to both.

Titles
Representatives use the prefix "The Honorable" before their names. A member of the House is referred to as a representative, congressman, or congresswoman. While senators are members of Congress, the terms congressman and congresswoman are not generally used by them.

Weird, I’ve never seen it used in a way that excludes senators.

Anytime I’ve ever seen “congresspeople” used, it referred to both houses. But I guess some people use it the other way or it wouldn’t be on Wikipedia.

So uh...

Ok. I guess I’m wrong and that is an acceptable nomenclature. Although it bugs me as a matter of etymology.

Both the lower and upper house are a part of Parliament in the UK. The lower house are referred to as Member of Parliament, the upper house as Peers or Lords. But they're all actually part of Parliament.

And guess who the US framers based most of their system on?

I'm just waiting for Trump to give a speech wearing a laurel wreath now....

I actually didn’t know about that either.

Caesar thought the right to wear one of those whenever he wanted was a wonderful gift from the Senate. He was getting more than a little thin up top, you see.

But we digress.

Talking about thin up top is digressing in a Trump thread?

Next you'll say we can't talk about tiny hands....

I get that Trump is ignoring US infrastructure concerns but you have toadstools growing on bridges and such?

They comprise the White House staff for the most part.

Just doing a bit of reading on US involvement. Fuck Obama for what he did. And fuck Trump for continuing it.

And fuck the UK government as well. Everyone should be in the Hague.

And so should the Democrats (figure of speech) trying to impeach Donnie for political reasons during an election season.

It was wrong, dumb and stupid for my fellow Republicans to try to impeach President Bill Clinton for political reasons.

On Watergate I think the case was clear against Nixon.

The problem with saying that now is that at the beginning of Watergate, most Republicans saw it as a political hitjob. Only now with hindsight can one see that Watergate was completely justified. Clinton impeachment was definitely a hit-job, considering the lack of severity of Clinton's crime, but this, at the very least, is more than Trump lying about having an affair. It involves him actively abusing his power.

Impeachment is a uniquely Political tool, because it's not typically connected to a crime in the sense of a criminal breaking the law. It's more connected with the defense of society and transparency. One could be impeached, for example, for public drunkenness as their actions served to reflect poorly on government and society. I doubt that would happen now, but Trump's call represents one such threat to society.

Hey guys, if you allow me to grift now, I swear you'll get a bigly cut, believe me!

I swear I was just about to post this, but you beat me by a few seconds:

...its own 50 to 70 unit building. Would set up better than other alternatives. I announced that I would be willing to do it at NO PROFIT or, if legally permissible, at ZERO COST to the USA. But, as usual, the Hostile Media & their Democrat Partners went CRAZY!

I thought I was doing something very good for our Country by using Trump National Doral, in Miami, for hosting the G-7 Leaders. It is big, grand, on hundreds of acres, next to MIAMI INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT, has tremendous ballrooms & meeting rooms, and each delegation would have...

Donnie should still hold the G 7 Summit at his Doral Country Club in Miami for free or at zero cost to the USA to throw at the Democrats impeacher's face. President Trump is right his Doral country club in Miami is a good place to hold the G 7 Summit at, Please do so Mr President.
