I don't think anyone is the least bit surprised here. I didn't even other to read any news articles besides skimming the headlines.

If anything the current administration has made me completely disenfranchised and disinterested in politics in every way possible.
So they accomplished their mission I guess, I'm barely aware these proceedings were even going on. That's how disgusted with my own countries politics I am.

I'd have been stunned, flabbergasted, if he wouldn't've gotten acquitted.

That said, I dread the future of the world stage politics. It seems like the worst everyone is elected everywhere nowadays Oo .

Acquitted but not vindicated. The U.S. senate is not a court of law. This changes nothing. Everyone knew what a scumbag Trump was. The only thing this popularity-vote has accomplished is to show those who were ignorant, or in denial how despicable the U.S. Senate really is.

well it seems that moderated peoples do not bother to vote, so we get extremist with more power all over the world. and maybe the easy to hack electronic voting systems may not help, but no one knows for sure if they've been hacked, just that they are not hard to.
i guess that if everyone went to vote there might be a greater part of the population happy with the result (and maybe better people in power).

I expected but dreaded this result.

It's official: American Democracy is sick, and the next steps to restore it to health will not be pretty... but still will be better than the alternative.


Also: my fellow Americans: welcome to banananism. :(

Fixed that. No one should ever doubt that this is the inevitable scenario that the Radical Right has been planning for and building, in earnest, for 6 decades. As they say, Trump is not the root, he is the flower.

We all knew that Moscow Mitch would do just what he did, my only surprise was that Roberts displayed not a single iota of dignity or integrity. He could have steered the proceedings in a different direction, even if the outcome was a foregone conclusion.
"Starting in 2011, the deficits again started to shrink. During Obama’s term  the deficit was reduced by $900 Billion  before finally in 2015 the GOP managed to wrangle a “reconciliation” bill out of Obama where he again cut corporate taxes, as well as made permanent some of George W. Bush’s original tax cuts. This is the year everything reversed. Before this, under Clinton, Bush and Obama the deficit in almost every year was gradually decreasing. The balance we had of taxes and the economy was bringing the deficit down, the money coming in was slowly catching up with the money going out until 2015. Trump’s subsequent tax cut has continued the new trend even after the rest of Bush’s cuts have since expired. Obama had an average GDP of 2.3%, with 11.6 million jobs created and unemployment peaking at 10% in 2009, then falling to 4.3% in 2016. If we had continued on that downward deficit track, we would have again reached balance and another surplus in 2017-2018.

This is the nature of capitalism. While we don't like it, there's no better way to govern (involving humans) which won't (given time) turn into the oligarchy we have now.

If you look at all communist nations, they're exactly like us, oligarchies.

Right now, we have a nation of PHYSICALLY sick people. Peeps give their money to the candy company,  then turn around and blame candy companies from having too much say in -governance-,  The politicians are at fault for letting this happen, but the Populace is at equal fault for empowering the capitalist usurpers (THROUGH) their own selfish inclinations.

This applies to every consumer industry.

People buy guns they don't need. Food they don't eat. Cars they don't need, LAPTOPS they don't need.

Tp4 is every bit as culpable, 9 laptops. WHY TP4, why do you need 9 laptops ?



@ Fohat, you're always on about the RUSSIANS.  they're the LEAST culpable when it comes to american politics.   What american industry is shipping money to the Russians ?  If anything it's OPEC nations defining american politics.
