Naaa, he will be long gone before that time is up, they are looking at impeaching him as we speak, anyway 4 years in Trump speak is 7 years.
:rolleyes: Really now, so you think so.
The impeachment process plays out in Congress and requires critical votes in both the House of Representatives and the Senate. It is often said that the “House impeaches and the Senate convicts,” or not. In essence, the House first decides if there are grounds to impeach the president, and if it does, the Senate holds a formal impeachment trial.
In the House of Representatives
•The House Judiciary Committee decides whether or not to proceed with impeachment. If they do…
•The Chairman of the Judiciary Committee will propose a Resolution calling for the Judiciary Committee to begin a formal inquiry into the issue of impeachment.
•Based on their inquiry, the Judiciary Committee will send another Resolution to the full House stating that impeachment is warranted and why (the Articles of Impeachment), or that impeachment is not called for.
•The Full House (probably operating under special floor rules set by the House Rules Committee) will debate and vote on each Article of Impeachment.
•Should any one of the Articles of Impeachment be approved by a simple majority vote, the President will be “impeached.” However, being impeached is sort of like being indicted of a crime. There still has to be a trial, which is where the US Senate comes in.
In the Senate
•The Articles of Impeachment are received from the House.
•The Senate formulates rules and procedures for holding a trial.
•A trial will be held. The President will be represented by his lawyers. A select group of House members will serve as “prosecutors.” The Chief Justice of the Supreme Court (currently John G. Roberts) will preside with all 100 Senators acting as the jury.
•The Senate will meet in private session to debate a verdict.
•The Senate, in open session, will vote on a verdict. A 2/3 vote of the Senate will result in a conviction.
•The Senate will vote to remove the President from office.
•The Senate may also vote (by a simple majority) to prohibit the President from holding any public office in the future.
Senator and Congressmen like their paychecks and power, that alone means your supposition is a wide-eyed indiscretion.
For them to even think of that means their remaining term in Washington would be very short.
RpR, not sure what you’re trying to highlight by that post, other than you’ve plunged to greater depths of naivety than previously we thought…..
So says one who is a legend n his own mind.
Not sure I understand why you posted that, are you confused that real life in extremis isn’t the way Hollywood would want it?
You do realise he was a 14 year old boy, who if he’d said ‘wait, I’m jewish’ would have not only likely got him killed – but also his protector? What would you have done? Not Clint bleedin Eastwood, you?It makes me wonder how many other philanthropists – as well as writers, composers, inventors, scientists and more were among the millions who did not have the means to survive as George Soros did.
I do not care what others do, nice attempt to avoid facts.
We are speaking of Soros and his links to Clinton, who successfully defended a rapist and laughed about it, which would make his character a lot like hers but then your rhetoric is like a nebulous cloud, vague as it changes to fit what ever you want it to fit at the moment.
You are chasing shadow about the horrors of a Trump presidency which have no basis, so at worst, what I posted is no better than yours, so for that simple reason you may answer as you choose but I am not going to deal with your nebula.
[QUOTE=Beermat;2369543]I meant what the cabinet did for a bob or two before. Not exactly anti-establishment and not entirely men of the people.
Not sure what is wrong with Soros. Is it that he’s a wealthy jew and not a wealthy aryan like Donald Duckwit?
QUOTE]
From 60 Minutes:
KROFT: (Voiceover) To understand the complexities and contradictions in his personality, you have to go back to the very beginning: to Budapest, where George Soros was born 68 years ago to parents who were wealthy, well-educated and Jewish.
When the Nazis occupied Budapest in 1944, George Soros’ father was a successful lawyer. He lived on an island in the Danube and liked to commute to work in a rowboat. But knowing there were problems ahead for the Jews, he decided to split his family up. He bought them forged papers and he bribed a government official to take 14-year-old George Soros in and swear that he was his Christian godson. But survival carried a heavy price tag. While hundreds of thousands of Hungarian Jews were being shipped off to the death camps, George Soros accompanied his phony godfather on his appointed rounds, confiscating property from the Jews.
(Vintage footage of Jews walking in line; man dragging little boy in line)
KROFT: (Voiceover) These are pictures from 1944 of what happened to George Soros’ friends and neighbors.
(Vintage footage of women and men with bags over their shoulders walking; crowd by a train)
KROFT: (Voiceover) You’re a Hungarian Jew…
Mr. SOROS: (Voiceover) Mm-hmm.
KROFT: (Voiceover) …who escaped the Holocaust…
(Vintage footage of women walking by train)
Mr. SOROS: (Voiceover) Mm-hmm.
(Vintage footage of people getting on train)
KROFT: (Voiceover) … by — by posing as a Christian.
Mr. SOROS: (Voiceover) Right.
(Vintage footage of women helping each other get on train; train door closing with people in boxcar)
KROFT: (Voiceover) And you watched lots of people get shipped off to the death camps.
Mr. SOROS: Right. I was 14 years old. And I would say that that’s when my character was made.
KROFT: In what way?
Mr. SOROS: That one should think ahead. One should understand and — and anticipate events and when — when one is threatened. It was a tremendous threat of evil. I mean, it was a — a very personal experience of evil.
KROFT: My understanding is that you went out with this protector of yours who swore that you were his adopted godson.
Mr. SOROS: Yes. Yes.
KROFT: Went out, in fact, and helped in the confiscation of property from the Jews.
Mr. SOROS: Yes. That’s right. Yes.
KROFT: I mean, that’s — that sounds like an experience that would send lots of people to the psychiatric couch for many, many years. Was it difficult?
Mr. SOROS: Not — not at all. Not at all. Maybe as a child you don’t — you don’t see the connection. But it was — it created no — no problem at all.
KROFT: No feeling of guilt?
Mr. SOROS: No.
KROFT: For example that, ‘I’m Jewish and here I am, watching these people go. I could just as easily be there. I should be there.’ None of that?
Mr. SOROS: Well, of course I c — I could be on the other side or I could be the one from whom the thing is being taken away. But there was no sense that I shouldn’t be there, because that was — well, actually, in a funny way, it’s just like in markets — that if I weren’t there — of course, I wasn’t doing it, but somebody else would — would — would be taking it away anyhow. And it was the — whether I was there or not, I was only a spectator, the property was being taken away. So the — I had no role in taking away that property. So I had no sense of guilt.
Look at his cabinet. Not what they tell you, what they actually do. Then tell me again that the ‘people’ won.
As opposed to what?
The women who let the Libya ambassador be murdered?
Whose greatest contributor was Soros?
Tell me how they could not have won if you think otherwise.
As some of he voters who were Democrats said: Not that they liked Trump but he was a better choice than Clinton.

Several deaths at an airport in Florida, caused when a man (former soldier) took a gun from his luggage after a flight.
Meanwhile Japan has nearly totally eradicated gun crime.
There is no analogy between the U.S. and Japan as far as firearms or society much less how much border they share with another country where violent criminals run free ,but this is interesting.
Japanese police officers rarely use guns and put much greater emphasis on martial arts – all are expected to become a black belt in judo. They spend more time practising kendo (fighting with bamboo swords) than learning how to use firearms.
“The response to violence is never violence, it’s always to de-escalate it. Only six shots were fired by Japanese police nationwide [in 2015],” says journalist Anthony Berteaux. “What most Japanese police will do is get huge futons and essentially roll up a person who is being violent or drunk into a little burrito and carry them back to the station to calm them down.”
The police shooting people who resist, armed or not has reached a level that simply did not exist when I was a teenager.
Of course back then police in my area, if two got into a fist fight, they would break it up and tell them go home or go to jail.
Nowadays, official protocol, is to handcuff and arrest both persons even if all bystanders say one was simply defending himself, so some resist being arrested for no reason and todays police are either poorly trained or simply resort to spray and pray with a firearm if some one dares to not bow to authority.
MODERATOR:
Either delete non topic crap from this thread or close it down.
I don’t see how even ballistic missiles would be a problem. Certainly Russia isn’t asking the Poles for permission to base missiles along Poland’s borders.
They are either a sovereign state or they aren’t. If they are then they can base whatever SAM or SRBM system they want within their own territory.
How old were you when the USSR tried that in Cuba?
Cuba was a sovereign state and by your rhetoric could base what ever they in their own territory.
You are being extremely naïve.
I hope dearly this peace track started by Putin is successful
It would be great to have Putin shove a corncob so far up Obama’s **** he will be chewing on it for the rest of his life.

Tell me just one thing that Russia is doing in Syria that the US didn’t do in Fallaujah twice or in mosul ect or israel in lebanon 2006….?
Being politically correct so the press could not attack you, was not their number one concern.

This airbase is located in central China, in the middle of nowhere that is also known as Inner Mongolia.
I see no Chinese Air Bases in Inner Mongolia.
To do so would threaten Mongolia and have Russia open bases on the Mongolian border they closed.
