First.
I just can't see Trump going willingly - and I think he'll stand for a second term.0 -

I think it depends if they do have something highly compromising what it is.
I am not sure evidence of previous dodgy dealings in real estate (just like previous stories of bonking Porn Stars) will make much difference, as they are pretty much factored in to who TheDonald is.
They need to have him, and him personally, doing something very dodgy with the Russians in relation to the election.0 -
Unless there’s 67 Democrats in the Senate after the mid-terms, he ain’t going anywhere.0

Trump is up to his neck in urine and he might just drown in it.Alternatively,I guess a CIA hit-job.Either way,I'm tempted to back against the curve.0

There will not be 67 Democrats in the Senate after the midterms.Sandpit said:Unless there’s 67 Democrats in the Senate after the mid-terms, he ain’t going anywhere.
There's an easy statement to make for once.
The question is whether the ems would force it through the house knowing it wouldn't be passed in the Senate.0 -
He can drown in it but still survive until 2020. Republicans are as pathetic at standing up for principle as Labour MPs.volcanopete said:Trump is up to his neck in urine and he might just drown in it.Alternatively,I guess a CIA hit-job.Either way,I'm tempted to back against the curve.

That's an impossibility. Only eight Republicans are up, and the Democrats currently have 49 seats. So even if they won every seat, including against popular incumbents in Nebraska and Utah, they would still only have 57.Sandpit said:Unless there’s 67 Democrats in the Senate after the mid-terms, he ain’t going anywhere.
Realistically, 52 would be an amazing achievement for them.0 -
Indeed, there’s only 8 currently Republican seats being contested in November, plus the Republican vacancy in Mississippi. So unless a load more Republican Senators resign in the next few months, Trump’s going to be safe from impeachment until 2020.TheWhiteRabbit said:

The House may well vote to impeach - as they did with Clinton - knowing that it will stop almost everything else in Washington for a year or more and cause ructions among the Republican Party.0 -
Could be some more resignations/deaths.Elliot said:

The democrats need to be careful not to be seen to be impeaching lightly. It will play into trump deep state / swamp / vested interests trying to stop him narrative.Sandpit said:

On topic: This is a really hard market to assess. We don't really have any precedent for the freak show which is the Trump presidency, his character is bizarre, the political dynamics of any impeachment attempt are tricky for both sides, and we don't know what the Feds know. It is certainly true that the legal complications for Trump's administration seem to increase almost by the day, but is that enough?
On balance, given the numbers in the Senate and Trump's behaviour so far, my assessment would be that the market is overstating the likelihood of him going; I think I'd put it at around 10% to 15%, not 34%. However, it's not an assessment one can really make with any confidence.0 -
Not 15 resignations.TheWhiteRabbit said:

I don't think there's anything to be gained intervening in Syria, BJO, but it would be very silly to assume the lesson was that one should never consider it, and very unfair to conclude that if someone does come down on the other side of that very difficult decision, that they are a warmonger. No doubt some are, but never supporting something is no more a virtue than always supporting something. Each situation must be judged anew. Afghanistan is about the most successful, and that's still a clusterf**k, but are people warmongers for considering action, or traitors for not considering it? No.bigjohnowls said:I would be interested to know what lessons FU Floater and all other war mongerers have learned from Iraq and Libya.

interventions have been ill advised in the past but that does not mean all future interventions are wrong otherwise the International rules based system on WMD becomes meaningless and any state has license to gas babies, women and ordinary people.
Russia even tried to blame the white helmets for the attack today and at the same time said there was no attack.
I am in favour of an attack to degrade Assad's ability to produce the chemicals involved and the means of delivery, nothing else.
If the allies and NATO decide to take action then we should support them. TM has a difficult responsibilty but if the attacks do not happen then she should put it before Parliament on monday where I would expect her to win support and at the same time fracture the labour party
In a situation like this a stand has to be made against WMD

The government lies to us all the time - they've lied to us over global warming, ahem man made climate change, they've lied to us about the future security of our food supplies, they've lied to us over the Panama Papers and Paradise Papers and covered up the fraud, theft and money laundering operations that many MP's and members of the House of Lords are linked to (documented fact via prima facie companies house evidence), they've lied to us the reason they got involved in Syria in the first place (in order to get gas and oil pipelines built through there from Qatar in order to reduce European dependence on Russian energy), they've lied to us about what they're doing to the NHS and they've lied to us about covering up historic child sexual abuse linked to Westminster (just have a look at the Exaro News directors apart from Mark Watts and where their fellow directorships and associated directors leads for starters).
With a record like that, the government is the last thing I would ever trust.

You cannot have it both ways, hunchman. If the government is as amazingly controlling and nefarious as you claim - and successful at it - why are they so easily found out by you all the time?0 -

Israel claims an unmanned Iranian drone was armed with explosives to attack Israel
Israel's military has said the aircraft it shot down in February was on its way to attack Israel.
Following an "operational and intelligence-based investigation" the military has concluded the "Iranian aircraft was armed with explosives and was tasked to attack Israeli territory", it said.0 -

Yes, it's curious how the Russian story has developed .....Big_G_NorthWales said:Russia even tried to blame the white helmets for the attack today and at the same time said there was no attack.
Yesterday: was no attack, our people on the ground have tested, total fake news
Today: There was a chemical attack, but the British did it.
It's almost as if they're making up any old BS day by day.

Well that is what I said in the original post, but I was just pointing out again that people seem to think that uk visa rules are optional / don’t apply to them and then get a shock when having broken them they get a negative outcome and then guardian publishes a soft soap piece about it breezing over that they broke the rules.nielh said:

You have the Government going around deporting vulnerable people who have been here for 40 years, and who probably have every moral right to be here, yet they don't have the paperwork. It's only the guardian that report on it. Thats one of the reasons why I am a guardian 'supporter'.
Whenever it comes up on PB, the poor person involved is inevitably cast as a liar with something to hide, with the guardian only telling 'one side of the story', yet of course the PB commentariat show no actual inclination to look in to what is really going on or find out the truth.
As for this guys case, people in the 20's are often late in sorting paperwork out. It happens to us all. It shouldn't be a big deal. Its a life lesson, not a ground to haul someone through the courts to deport them. The Home office bureaucracy has gone rogue and needs to be set straight.0 -

The government lies to us all the time - they've lied to us over global warming, ahem man made climate change, they've lied to us about the future security of our food supplies, they've lied to us over the Panama Papers and Paradise Papers and covered up the fraud, theft and money laundering operations that many MP's and members of the House of Lords are linked to (documented fact via prima facie companies house evidence), they've lied to us the reason they got involved in Syria in the first place (in order to get gas and oil pipelines built through there from Qatar in order to reduce European dependence on Russian energy), they've lied to us about what they're doing to the NHS and they've lied to us about covering up historic child sexual abuse linked to Westminster (just have a look at the Exaro News directors apart from Mark Watts and where their fellow directorships and associated directors leads for starters).
With a record like that, the government is the last thing I would ever trust.

I'm saying we have a very untrustworthy government. East Germany with the Stasi was such an example before it fell apart in the late 1980's.kle4 said:

As for the general population not noticing, I would argue that they are beginning to notice, not as quickly as I would like, granted, but things are starting to move. People generally think that governments are a lot cleverer than they really are. In reality, this government has been incredibly incompetent over Skripal and Syria. On Skripal the story was initially that they weren't going to survive as it was alleged to be military grade Novichok, which it obviously wasn't. They were so incompetent that the poor guinea pigs and the black Persian died through famine and hunger, and obviously didn't search their house......or they did and then had to destroy the pets as they didn't fit in with the official narrative.
On your second point, Lavrov wouldn't be so stupid as to say there is irrefutable evidence, and then not able to produce the said evidence.
On your final point, the government are found out a lot of the time because they're thoroughly incompetent, and can't see that more and more people are now seeing past their outrageous and disgusting lies on so many matters, with horrible consequences for many people, not least the poor oppressed people in Syria.0 -
