Yeah I temporarily forgot it needs two thirds. Can't imagine it swinging that far given trump will say anything declared against him is a lie and others will tow that line. At least Nixon had the dignity to quit when the majority were against him.

Impeachment trial not even bothering with witnesses then eh? At least the fight for most embarrassing country doesn't just have us lot in it...

This is very interesting -

I wonder how many Republicans suspect Trump is a rapist yet still support him?

I'm sure they don't care. Rape isn't even a proper crime to a lot of people in America. Brock Turner's dad wrote a letter to the judge saying (paraphrasing) "it would be unfair to punish him for the rest of his life for 20 minutes of action".

The party don't care about any of his misdemeanours because he is serving their corporate interests, and allowing them to rig the system to hold onto power. His base support don't care because they've been brainwashed into thinking all politicians are as corrupt as each other, but at least trump is on their side.

Was thinking the same. There's a lot of 'boys will be boys' attitudes to rape in the States, especially on the republican side.

You love to see it, as the meme goes.

The ratfucking is on, not least because Buttchug looks like one.

Biden v Trump had huge comedy potential.

Bernie shouldn't be getting beaten by Buttigieg, but the voting fuck up will probably make his supporters think there was some sort of conspiracy and help him raise more money.

Buttigieg has been polling high in Iowa, despite nationally being way behind.

All that sweet billionaire money. There'll be plenty more now, old biden's fuckinh done.

Bernie will win this if his fans don't alienate Warren voters. Softly softly catchy votie.

This does my head in now. Tuning out for the whole season 'til they've made up their fucking minds and I can praise or damn them accordingly. Won't even keep up with Chapo. Practice self care.

Wiki says he doesn't come in until the Super Tuesday states.

we all know the greatest faith restorer in humanity is someone handing in a wallet full of money. It’s basically the only qualification so just wait a week for something like that on Facebook.

Perhaps Democrats should run ads in massively red states saying that the Republican there supports gun control, abortion rights and gay rights, and see how long that lasts.

Not sure if your joking but I kinda think its time they did - and then when they get into power they really need to put in bullet-proof legislation to control online ads. I know, go high when the others go low but going low is winning and its winning big. Whether we like it or not. It feels like the left is so principled its not aware how much the battlefield has changed.

The left needs to get into power and really push protecting these things. We can all say how shit Trump has been a president but look how much damage he has done. Look at how much he has done for his paymaster base in terms of taking away legislation, tax breaks etc. Much of the gains under Obama are gone or going. If he gets another 4 years and he doesnt have to worry about re-election? 

Yes, I'm being a bit dramatic but you get what I mean right?
