  The truly scary thing that experts are talking about is not that NK will strike first because even though the dictator is crazy he wants to live and he knows the US would just wipe him off the face of the earth. But the scary part is that the NK will sell the nuclear technology to terrorists or other groups that aren't so pragmatic

  We're going to impeach Trump . . . and make Mexico pay for it!

  i have little doubt articles of impeachment will be drawn up on trump within the next year or so.

  my only question at this point is what are they going to get him for?.

  collusion with a foreign government to subvert an election?.

  Also, many of people's fears that Trump would just steam roll over congress or the courts has come to not happen. Trump has come to learn that being president is being a dictator that his power is restrained. He may not handle the public part of him being restrained in the most adult way, but he does accept that his power is restrained. He can spout off about Congress can't pass a repeal of the ACA or say he wants to break up the 9th Circuit but the other branches are keeping him in check and he is staying within the powers given to him by the constitution.

  Kpop that is true. A lot of people are actually saying it that even though people may disagree with some of his policies he is doing what he campaigned on for the most part so people voted for it. He really didn't hide who he was and if enough people didn't like him they should have voted for the other party, but he did win so he is president and unless he does commit a crime he is the president till his term is up.

  only problem with relying on the 25th is that Cabinet members serve at the pleasure of the president so the president can fire half of his cabinet if he chooses too at any time and keep those posts vacant. The acting secretary would run that department but would not be a member of the cabinet.

  It is not a lawful reason for impeachment. The cabinet and the vice president can vote that the President is unfit to carry out the duties and notify congress of that decision then the vice president would become the president but that would be invoking the 25th amendment and not article Article 2 section 4 of the Constitution. Article 2 Section 4 only calls for impeachment for high crimes and misdemeanours.

  Giordinos:

  I am no fan of trump but some of your points are not causes for impeachment at all.

  Your reasons

  1. if new sexual assault charges come forward. President Trump can only be impeached for high crimes and misdemeanours that he commits while he is in office. He would have to commit sexual assault while he is in office for it to be an impeachable offence.

  4. showing signs of mental illness is not a cause of impeachment. The constitution only prescribes for impeachment for high crimes and misdemeanours. The founders felt that if the people decide that a president isn't acting rationally then it is the duty of the voters to rectify that situation in the next election and for the people's representatives the Congress to provide checks on the Executive.

  5. By absolute law, the President cannot violate the laws on releasing classified information. The President is in charge of classifying documents, he usually delegates that to departments, but it is his absolute right to classify or declassify information as he sees fit. If the President releases information he then declassifies it by the virtue of him releasing the information. It is sort of like an executive order, the Executive creates it so the Executive can break it which would, therefore, nullify the order.

  Why did Jesus need to experience a human childhood?

  i've never been a jw and haven't ever studied the bible or theology so it may be that there is a simple answer to my question that i'm not aware of, in which case, please forgive my ignorance.

  however i have wondered about this for quite some time and have scoured the internet but i can't find any mention of the topic.

  maybe someone here might enlighten me.

  God made a covenant with David that his line would serve as king for eternity. Mary was from that line as well when Joseph became Jesus adopted father Jesus received the line through Joseph as well. And since Jesus was a product of both holy spirit and Mary he was human and that served as a balance for the human adam.

  Governing Body-Part of Great Crowd

  by TakeOffTheCrown in

  2. beliefs

  it appears that the governing body members today are part of the great crowd and are not of the anointed.. to those with some knowledge of the subject, is it possible that the christian congregation would eventually be lead by those who are not anointed?

  Current doctorine is that all annointed would ascend to heaven prior to Armageddon so yes jws would be lead by the helpers who are generally of the earthly class.

  An investigative reporter may go into a story with a thesis that they want to prove but it is a difference between trying to prove a thesis with objective information and becoming an advocate or an activist. That then is out of the realm of journalism at least in my view
