they think its ok to take something form me because "well you aren't useing it!" or something like that.

greed drives 'everything belongs to everyone'

and EVERYONE HAS A RIGHT TO HOUSING. nope

"everything belongs to everyone, except my stuff that's mine and you can't have it"

seems to be the way they all think.

get a tent, go stay on national government land, it's free, enjoy

even Bernie Sanders, "there should be no millionaires and billionaires"
ok buddy aren't you a millionaire who owns 3 rather large houses?
"but that's ok because i wrote a book!"

sound about right?

I know he has backed off of the millionaires, but I think that's only because people found out how much he was worth and started to call him out on it.

So I've just found out about the impeachment. I'm not really up on US politics because *Britbong* but does someone more knowledgeable wanna catch me up on what the deal is and what happens next for Orange Man?

it gets passed over to the Senate and they decide what to do with it.

they could have hearings of their own

they could just throw it out

and i'm sure plenty of other options that i'm not aware of.

but nothing changes for Trump yet.

though from what I've heard, the proceedings in the Senate could restrict other candidates from campaigning, so that would be funny.

because those candidates are involved with some of these accusations.

*Implying the DNC would select any alternative candidate to Biden*

Biden's def gonna get it lol

So he hasn't really been impeached, it's more just a vote on what they think the charges are to move onto impeachment in the senate?

It's a solid point though. The majority of Democratic candidates are sitting US senators, who would be consumed by the trial during the time in which they would be campaigning in key battleground states.

Impeached is like indicted

my understanding is this is like a prosecutor deciding the case is worth prosecuting, and now it's going to the court.

It's an agreement in the house to state the charges to the senate

Yes exactly

I'm not sure if there's another legal term for the actual removal from office

But basically impeachment doesn't make that a sure thing at all

it's just step one

Exactly. Now it goes to the Senate that directs proceedings, similar to a court case.

And unless a 2/3 majority in the Senate agree that he's guilty of charges, the President is simply Aquitted (nothing happens)

Gotcha. So is this really just the Democrats throwing their weight around because *OrangeManBad* and they have the House of Representatives? Some hardball political theatre, if you will.

Now you're getting it

You got it fren

worse then nothing happens, if he is Aquitted he is innocent of the charges. (by the standard of law)

One could argue this was done by Dems to generate negative press to disparage his character for the upcoming election

(had to throw that last bit in there because there are people who get off on technicalities, though I don't believe that's the case here)

@Mersenne I would argue that is the case, there is so little evidence to the contrary.

good chance their plan backfires hard

Already has. Polls show Trump overtook Biden in key states *during* the impeachment hearings.

it already has and it will keep backfireing the longer they talk about it.

Damn, he was actually impeached. For some reason I thought there was a republican majority and he wouldn't be
