House Democrats impeaching him alone won't cause any kind of civil war. But if he's removed from office, it needs to be because the American people, by margins of 60 to 70 percent, belive Trump did something so egregious as to warrant removal. But if it looks like Trump was drummed out of office...

It would seem that you are implying that I am included in the "their" category. If so, you would be incorrect.

The Founding Fathers wrote fairly extensively on it. The primary goal was to prevent the President from being influenced by bribery, gifts, profits, and other schmoozing, both tangible and intangible. I've never even tried to engage in an interpretational argument here, because, as I have stated...

Panther has a plethora of rules that were created because of one rare or very uncommon instance, that sound good and feel good but aren't really thought through with regards to efficacy or unintended consequences. The result is a really lot of really stupid rules that end up getting enforced...

Who thought this was a good idea? It's stupid. Did we pay somebody from Panther to make this decision? I'm getting notifications to perform MonkeyWork to create a DVIR for a non-CMV on days that I don't even drive the vehicle.

I stand by my 3 categories. Your fourth possibility fits into one of more of those three categories. Those who think Doral presents an appearance of impropriety, a conflict of interest, a violation of law, or emoluments issues, think so because they are convinced Trump is self-dealing and...

Camp David is certainly better for a G7 metting than the Moonshine Ballroom at the Marriott Hotel in Pigeon Forge, TN, but it's got nowhere near the home field advantage of a place like Doral. People who are against it either... A) haven't the first clue about how to do successful...

Humor. Because that's what Trump calls them. I think it's funny.

I suppose. And yet as unwise as it may be, we're wasting less money on useless and corrupt aid packages, personal income for the lower and middle classes is up substantially to record levels over the last 3 years, costly and inefficient regulations have been eliminated, unemployment is at record...

Title 18, 208 Here's a Johnny-On-The-Spot article from the Failing New York Times that addresses exactly this issue. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/10/18/us/politics/trump-g7-ethics.html

Like I said a really long time ago in this thread, emoluments have never been adjudicated, so we won't know fire sure until SCOTUS rules on it. But I do know, as has been previously discussed in this very thread, that the president and vice-president are explicitly exempt, by statute, from the...

Trump was shocked when he won. Hillary was shocked and utterly devastated when she lost. She was so devastated that on election night she couldn't even face the crying throngs of supporters and FBI agents at The Javits Center. Trump was gracious in victory, whereas Hillary was a snarling, bitter...

Even if he didn't charge a thing, at the cost for the entire event, they'd say he was getting seventeen gazillion dollars in free advertising, give or take a mil. Even if he charged full rate, it's still not illegal. It cracks me up when people say, "He's violating the Emoluments Clause!"...

The G7 is not a cocktail party, its a serious meeting of negotiation. When someone is negotiating for your interests you want your negotiator to have every advantage. You want your negotiator to set the table to give him the advantage. You want him to be well rested, refreshed, comfortable...

Tell 'em you sold your car and you're moving to Yemin for 6 years.

Krugman is the one who predicted a massive, historical stock market crash if Trump got elected, and then got really mad when just the opposite happened. And he's been alternately pouting, sulking, viciously sticking his tongue out, and lashing out ever since. In a way, I do feel bad for the...

I'm willing to entertain any and all rationales for why the US should go to war with a NATO ally to protect the Kurds. Because I'm stumped. I can't think it's a single rational reason.
