  some democrats are zealously pushing the impeachment route to get rid of trump.

  even if you don’t like him, do you support impeachment proceedings?.

  Iran ring a bell and billions dropped off to aid them.

  LV101 ...

  I'm not sure where you and many others get your "facts" about "giving" money to Iran.

  The US, in the case you are referring to, didn't "give" Iran anything. This money was not foreign aid or other funds coming from the US Gov't (or correctly, the US taxpayers).

  The US had put a freeze on certain Iranian assets. It was their money to start with. You may argue that the money should have remained frozen and not returned to Iran at this point. But that is totally different from saying that "Obama sent Iran pallets of cash" or something similar.

  That reasoning makes as much sense as a person going to a bank, making a withdrawal, and then someone claims that the bank is "giving" them money. It was never the banks money to start with, so how can the bank "give" you something that is not theirs?

  It's like people who think the government is doing them a big favor by sending them a big refund on their income tax return. The refund is just that, a return of the person's money that was overpaid and that the government was holding throughout the year.

  In these cases, neither Obama, nor the banks nor the government gave anybody anything.

  while i enjoyed eddie's music, ric was quite important to me.

  my best memories of my youth were to a cars soundtrack.

  my first "naughty" car (tr7) had a cassette player precariously balanced in the hole in the dash and the cars were in it more than anything else..

  My god, I am feeling really old. I keep thinking that these guys who were just a few years older than me were in their 50's. Actually they are/were in their 70's ..... where has the time gone? I guess looking at my DOB on my drivers license won't make me feel any better.

  No, what sense would it make to impeach Trump.

  You might as well go to a local bus stop, randomly pick someone who looks a bit crazy and impeach him.

  Same result.

  There is no law established for a US president against incompetent stupidity, lying and general creepiness.

  Finkelstein ...

  I could not agree more. I really don't know what grounds you could impeach on, since the things you mention don't, IMO, equate to "high crimes and misdemeanors."

  Being an international embarrassment is not in itself a crime.

  Do You Think People Should Be Scorned For Wearing A Red MAGA Hat?

  by minimus in

  do you support free choice to wear a political hat or article of clothing?

  if someone wants to put a bumper sticker on their car in support of a political candidate or party, should they be able to do it without fear of being maligned or abused?

  ?.

  People, let the people who wear the MAGA hats alone. They have the right to do so.

  It's just a giveaway that they probably have chrome bull balls hanging off their pickup truck's trailer hitch and they met their spouses at a family picnic.

  But let them wear their hats and enjoy! It's a big country.

  I really have no problem with it ... freedom of expression is what it is.

  If a person wants to wear a MAGA, KKK, Skinhead or other hat like that, I think it is up to the individual.

  Live and let live.

  Trump Derangement Syndrome Is Alive and Well

  i was on facebook and a person i have known for a long time posted how trump is mentally ill and is truly a psychopath.

  a couple of her friends chimed in when i suggested that perhaps the fb friend was really the psychopath.

  a couple of her friends began to defend her but i was surprised by how many people defended the president!

  He's been stuck with enough losers from previous admins.

  LV101 ...

  Forget that Trump was stuck with losers (i.e Bolton).

  Trump can't keep his own people that he picks! The last I checked, Bolton is/was a hand-picket Trumper.

  Do You Think People Have Forgotten About 9/11?

  by minimus in

  2. friends

  after all these years, it seems to me that people do not properly take note of what happened on this date in 2001. for some, it’s like nothing major happened.

  for me it is a day of reflection..

  I don't think anyone has forgotten about Afghanistan and the aftermath - one of the reasons Boltin was outed

  LV101 ...

  Not to totally disagree with you, but if you randomly stopped people on any street in the US and asked what the longest-running war for the US has ever been ... well ... if 1 out of 10 mentioned Afghanistan I would be surprised.

  But it would probably double the percentage of people who know who the Vice President of the US is ... "maybe" 2 out of 10 would know. Sadly, this is not a joke.

  Yes ... people are forgetting about 9/11, especially those not affected.

  It's been about 25 years since someone born back then could really remember it in any reasonable way (think 18 years ago plus the child was 7 at the time). Unless people are directly affected, they forget things over time.

  Think of the Vietnam War, Korean War, WWII, etc. As time passes, things are forgotten or at least delegated to a part of our psyche that finds little relevance of the event(s) in our everyday lives.
