Impeachment is already just a simple majority, what is there to change? (51 votes is less than a majority)

Oh wait, were you talking about the Senate which doesn't even have impeachment authority?

Sadly we have here just some more liberals who need to learn what the constitution says before trying to change it.

NK just launched another missile. If Trump were to do something stupid, it could escalate so quickly that Congress has no effective role.

Ой, подождите, вы говорили о Сенате, у которого нет даже власти импичмента?

К сожалению, у нас есть еще несколько либералов, которым нужно узнать, что говорится в конституции, прежде чем пытаться ее изменить.

Here's Jeet mimicing Dvault1's analysis

Quote:

Which is to say, Trump and his new minion aren’t just colorful personalities, but members of a particular species: the New York douchebag. That’s why Scaramucci may long remain in good standing—as long as he doesn’t break one golden rule.

The New York douchebag thrives throughout the tri-state area, particularly in New Jersey and the outer boroughs of the city proper. Usually white, he is belligerent, garrulous, ruthlessly competitive, and excessively confident in his persuasive abilities. He is also hypersensitive; the smallest perceived slight will trigger a full-scale defense of his pride. He demands to be respected at all times.

To the extent that the New York douchebag has politics, he tends to be a fiscal, hawkish conservative: reliably Republican, in other words, but only socially religious (if at all). He believes in his right to make loads of money without paying much taxes, advocates manly military responses to defend the pride of the U-S-A, but doesn’t want to ban abortion or roll back gay rights. Indeed, he will defend those rights if the issue affects a family member, for he professes to value blood relatives above all else.

Quote:

Trump is the quintessential New York douchebag, but to win the Republican nomination, he had to make peace with the Southern evangelical base of the GOP. Toward that end, Trump implausibly reinvented himself as a social conservative, giving powerful posts to Southern traditionalists like Jeff Sessions and religious conservatives like Mike Pence.

But Trump is clearly happiest in the company of his fellow tri-state douchebags. During the campaign, he spent a great deal of time around figures like New Jersey Governor Chris Christie and former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, two exemplars of the species. Trump wasn’t able to find administration jobs for either of them, and met with resistance from conventional Republicans like Priebus for trying to hire Scaramucci, whom The New York Times described last week as “a financial showman who rivals Mr. Trump’s own outsize knack for self-promotion.”

Now that Scaramucci is in the White House, Trump has a fellow douchebag he can commune with. “Scaramucci’s arrival was described by one adviser as ‘a cannonball from a diving board into a pool,’” Politico reported on Thursday. “With his brash outer-borough New York ethos and flair for showmanship, Scaramucci is perhaps more like Trump himself than anyone else on the White House staff—and his appointment is a clear signal that the president is walking away from his initial embrace of establishment Republicans familiar with Washington.”

Poconoder are you are republican? Why dont you throw out what you think about some central political issues, heated issues like gays, healthcare, religion, immigration and benefits. Are you against giving away free stuff or what do you think? Im not looking to discuss anything but i want to know what your specific thoughts are out of curiosity (doesnt matter if they have a weak or strong fundament).

Still wondering how capable we are of shooting these things out of the sky. Guess if we could we would be, right?

Trump admin has been actively been trying to destroy the ACA from the inside by running negative ads and putting mis information on the HHS website. That's not going to stop. They are going to continue this type of behavior. If he can't get his way, he will just destroy everything like a baby having a temper tantrum

Test rockets? Not likely to bother and give away capabilities. For point defense I think we need to know where they are headed, like scuds and Israel.
