What the sweet hell is this? Thumbs up and smiles with a baby orphaned by the El Paso shooter, when the mom covered the baby with her body to shield the baby.

The optics on this are horrendous.

The usual BS foto op that politicians do after a tragedy. Was he supposed to act sad?

Impeachment does not mean removal from office.

It's still a major development. Essentially it's a formal step that gives accelerated subpoena powers to Congress as a way to get access to testimonies and documents that were being obstructed by WH and DOJ.

Off topic but think @NarrowBandFtw & @buka001 might enjoy this read

The Doomsday Machine: Confessions of a Nuclear War Planner https://g.co/kgs/14B2Kf

Currently going through it myself, fascinating read.
Thanks. Its in my library, still not read it yet.

Will put it at the top of my list.

He (Ellsberg) did mention some of the US nuclear war plans and strategy in the Pentagon Papers (a loooong read).

Amazed me how the CIA took a pic of 6 Soviet Bison bombers and other faulty intelligence errors and concluded they had way more (eventhough that was all they had). Kennedy then believed they were way behind (The missile gap), even campaigned on this. The US was in fact miles ahead and even went further ahead because of this hysteria

I just happen to have read a whole thing recently about the process of impeachment and what it means, and more specifically what it does not mean. I think many people think that if Trump is impeached he will automatically be removed from office, and that isn't what happens at all. Sadly. For example Clinton was impeached for lying about Monica Lewinsky or rather obstruction of justice and he finished his term of office. So yeah, whilst yes, it is development, it just isn't necessarily the end of Trump.

He needs to be tried and convicted with a supermajority in the Senate to be removed... It won’t happen, but that doesn’t mean Congress should neglect their constitutional duty by not impeaching him in the House.

You mentioned Bill... There is a permanent mark of impeachment on his presidency. Sometimes that’s the best you can do, but you need to do it.

cerebus is correct ‘tho, impeachment proceedings give the House powers they wouldn’t have otherwise.

New documents released by the US Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit reveal that Jeffrey Epstein accuser Virginia Roberts Giuffre said Donald Trump “didn’t partake in any sex” with Epstein’s girls.

“The document release stems from a 2015 defamation lawsuit in New York brought by Epstein accuser Virginia Roberts Giuffre against Epstein’s ‘Madam’ – Ghislaine Maxwell,” reports Zero Hedge. “Giuffre says Maxwell helped Epstein traffic herself and other underage girls to sex parties at the billionaire pedophile’s many residences.”

Responding to a 2011 article that claimed Trump was a “good friend of Jeffrey’s,” Giuffre clarified, “It’s true that he didn’t partake in any sex with us,” while she also insisted that Trump didn’t even flirt with the girls.

“Donald Trump never flirted with me,” said Guiffre.

Womp womp. :sneaky:

In fact there's almost no chance of it being successful because it depends on a 2/3rds majority vote that will never pass McConnell's Senate. But it's a critical function of congressional oversight and it may uncover information that they can't get to otherwise.

Trump Supporter with Loaded Pistol, Knife Arrested Outside El Paso Immigrant Center

Meanwhile, El Paso police arrested a Trump supporter Wednesday as he sat outside an organizing space for immigrant activists, wearing blue latex gloves and brandishing a knife. Organizers with Casa Carmelita say police also recovered a loaded gun, ammunition and a bag of white powder from the man’s truck, which sported a large banner portraying Donald Trump as Rambo and bumper stickers for the far-right conspiracy website InfoWars. The man appears to be 21-year-old Thomas Bartram, who was profiled earlier on Wednesday by the Washington Examiner. Bartram told the paper he was an “open-carry kind of guy” at political rallies; a photo accompanying the article shows Bartram making what appears to be a white nationalist hand gesture.



Edit: seems to be a false alarm

It's really hard to take the media seriously. Also can anybody explain to me what crime this child committed? He had a knife on him, He lives in Texas and is probably a Hillbilly, they all have knives. Texas is an open carry state so he was legally allowed to have the gun on him, along with the ammo. The white power is so far the only thing he could be in trouble for apart from it not being identified as an illegal substance. This seems less of a man stopped on the brink of a rampage and more of a second amendment violation. This whole thing will be dismissed by a judge before it reaches court.

Edit: He has already been released and no charges have been filed. Womp womp.

1. that is a white nationalist hand gesture now. It might have started as hoax on 4chan, but the poephols have been adopting it as a genuine gesture (when your hoax is too effective!)

2. Profiling sure - but if it walks like a duck, ....someone is going to assume its a duck.

3. What was he doing there? Why was he outside a center for anti-immigration activists? He was going to sign up? Did / does he have a valid and reasonable explanation for what he was doing? He may not have broken any laws but that doesn't mean the people who called the police were wrong to be concerned.

4. Sure the media blow these things right out of proportion, but that is also part of the reason why a person like this exists and why people on the other side of the political divide might have had reason to poop their pants when they saw him outside, because he (and others like him) have been consuming the exaggerated media reports vilifying the other side.

Translation:
We need immigration because the help is getting too expensive.

All the devout anti-Trumpers in this thread should remember this tweet when they think that Democrats are pro-poor.
It really is a sick mindset to rather import people than encouraging and helping your own people to build their own bigger and stronger families and communities for their own labour force. Have these globalist/ pro-mass immigration/ multiculturalism dolts not learned from history? Where do they think all the nations come from? All they are doing is help promote the eventual violent break up of countries into smaller mono-cultures. No amount of propaganda is going to change that, reality always wins in the end.
