Is Trump bluffing?

[Spaz]

1st ur president blames ur Congress which of course blames the president back then you people get confused and starts to argue.

Just change ur system into a parliamentary democracy.

It's election year in the USA.
Election year in the USA = we going at war because of x bad guys.

Repeat every elections.

Trick is the oldest in the "get re-elected for president" USA book. Heck even the Romans used it

What happens when Impeachment articles are sent to the Senate?

I have a related question (bear in mind I'm not following this closely). I heard Pelosi is stalling on sending the articles to the Senate to be voted on, and this thought occurred to me: Could she delay sending the articles indefinitely or is there a time limit? In other words, could she delay sending them until after the elections in the hope that the Dems regain a Senate majority?

Okay well back on topic:

It looks like Iran just retaliated by striking targets in Iraq....

No.
She doesn’t have that kind of power.
Public opinion would eat her alive.
After a few weeks the Senate will proceed without her AOI’s, likely a dismissal for failure to prosecute.

If they killed any US servicemen, the main question of this thread will be answered faster than you know…

I doubt they did. Official Pentagon report didn’t make mention of it. We knew what they were doing before they did it lol and so we rearranged our troops/equipment/machinery and everything to minimize any possible damage. I think it’s about time we blow these ****ers to kingdom come.

This is definitely a grey area as nothing like this has ever occurred before. When Clinton was impeached the House sent over the AOI immediately.

There doesnt appear to be a time limit on how long articles can be held.

And there's never been a case when AOIs were purposely held until the next Congress to begin trial in the Senate.

If that's Pelosi's game then it's a major gamble. Nothing like this has ever been done before and it could set tremendous precedent for future cases.

The only upside is that in general Republicans have an advantage in the Senate while Democrats have an advantage in the House due to population distribution.

Republicans need to hold onto enough seats in the Senate to maintain a wide enough margin to prevent a 67 vote conviction in the next Congress if that's how its gonna go down...

It's a tall order but I think McConnell, Lindsey Graham and Trump can pull it off...

Certainly unlikely the Dems could pull off that big of a reversal, and I'm not saying this was Pelosi's plan, it was more of a hypothetical question really.

Sounds like more people were killed at the Generalissimo's funeral. What, was he Iranian Elvis?

Hi Xenomorph,
Yes The Persians as I think of them are different to Arabs and yes they are quite like us...I drove across Iran in the mid sixties, and nicer more helpful people you could not wish to meet,from talking to Iranian expats in recent travels in Turkey,they are not happy with the current regime one bit either...The question we must ask ourselves is,can we or the Zionists live with a nuclear Iran?...Would the feelings of security they get from such posession create more responsible behaviour?

Iran has been asking for it. They attacked Saudi Arabia. They attacked oil tankers. They attacked a U.S. Embassy

Naw, you just want to follow dear leader into war.

Iranians are the Americans of the middle-east. (All about money, running business, great techno music, great food, highly educated, don't give any value to religion, merchant)

The people of Iran can't wait to get rid of its government. (Arabic Islamic invaders, as they call it.. Because Islam is Arab for them). The population is afraid of the government.

95% of the Iranian oil are at the border of Iraq with a Arab population.

When you corner an animal it has a simple choice, either let you kill it or strike back. A cornered animal will put up the best fight that it has inside of it because it knows that it is do or die time. The Iranian people have been protesting the Iranian regime for awhile now and I believe Trump is destroying them from outside of the country as opposed to invading and doing it from within the country. Of course the Iranian regime is going to try and strike back however they can for them it's do or die time. Like I have stated before the world is headed for another world war, but Iran will be one of our allies. @EyeBRollin Trump is still your president and there isn't a damn thing you can do about it. Oh one more thing I am a minority ( Hispanic ) and I am also an immigrant (legal) but just to show you that I am a good guy I am going to use your logic, so since you disagree with me you are obviously a racist!!!!!

Looks like that rat John Bolton is trying to weasel his way back into political influence by offering to testify. He's obviously up to some monkey business with these shenanigans....
