  he has been “impeached “.

  will he be convicted in the senate?

  is he so “damaged goods” that he is ineffectual?

  You guys refuse to differentiate between the two processes. Trump has been impeached such is the process the house is empowered to do. He has not been convicted and removed from office ( that is the Senate's purview under the constitution.) Even if the Senate decides not to convict and remove him, He has been impeached. He most likely will not be convicted by the senate. He will however be historically known as one of the the 3 U.S. Presidents to be impeached.( Andrew Johnson and Bill Clinton being the only other 2) Please note though they where impeached neither was removed from office.

  XD

  fed up : the Senate does not have the power to vote for impeachment only to convict of high crimes and misdemeanors.

  Sigh I am so tired of this discussion. The house has impeached him (indicted) The Senate will now have a trial. The Republican Senate will not convict him. This means he gets to stay in office. however he has been impeached. Please get the meaning of the word impeached correct as defined in the US constitution.

  Prostitution is a threat to public health. It is not a victimless crime. Most women are forced into prostitution

  Most often, the decision to become a prostitute is made out of necessity only. This decision often comes with the loss of freedom due to "pimp" representation, induced drug addiction, and sexually transmitted disease

  Do You Think “Higher Education “Is All That??

  by minimus in

  2. friends

  as jehovah’s witnesses, we were regularly told how awful a college education is.

  i’m no longer associated with the religion but i am not so pro university.

  it’s not because i think you are better off without a degree.

  I have a graduate degree, as do others on this site. I find it interesting ,that those who characterise higher education negativity, for the most part have not attended university. Furthermore those that feel that disagreement with faculty , is not tolerated , are sadly mistaken. Opposition opinions are not only tolerated, they are encouraged as part of the learning process. Yes, you may be asked to provide evidence to support your view. This may take the form of intensive questioning. It is.an age old educational tool called the Socratic method. This is perhaps one of the best ways to teach critical thinking in my opinion.

  Court documents reveal Watchtower's tactics in Montana child abuse case

  by LevelThePlayingField in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  there were numerous objections and claims that watchtower lawyers made to try and get out of being held responsible for their negligence and malice.

  here’s the juicy ones:.

  montana is a mandatory reporting state, but watchtower lawyers claimed that the law for reporting abuse only applies to “individuals” and they are “corporations”.

  They are arrogant and feel they are above all others. How different they are from what Jesus counseled. Pay God's things to God Caesars things to Caesar.

  My heroes would have.to include my brother Tom who showed me what being a man truly was. His humor always shined even when he was facing death. He showed me how love should be unconditional and encouraged me to think for myself. He provided me a prospective that was different from that of a Child raised by Jehovah's witnesses. He.led by example. I miss him dearly.

  Burt Reynolds - Dead at Age 82 - Rest in Peace

  hadn't seen a thread started on this so i thought i'd start a tribute thread to one of the great actors / entertainers over the years we've enjoyed watching.

  he had a wicked, dry sense of humor, especially on the johnny carson show, great acting in deliverance, so if anybody would like to share stories, you tube snippets of talk show appearances, or pieces from movies- feel free to do so !

  rest in peace burt, you brought us some really cool entertainment, thanks for the memories.
