    Doubt it. Only 10% of the House wants impeachment.

    Did I state that it's happening now? Don't you understand how time works?

    BTW, your claim is simply wrong. There are at least 60 members in favor of starting at least an inquiry.

    The support among the general population is growing quickly. Can you tell the forum what that translates to?

    BTW, fix your quote in red. It's not "abusive power". It's "abuse of power".

    That's how they do it down under, which is why they're down under.

    In your post #141 you regaled us with a history of Donald Trump. Nothing new or earth-shaking. Honestly, I don't know ANY wealthy people who haven't been castigated at one time or another, by one bunch of detractors or another, for one reason or another -- real or imagined....

    Now, do YOU want to acknowledge that Forbes is correct in estimating his wealth at $3.1 billion, or not. I like your 'crust' and your chutzpah, Nemmy... and, sure, I have a fairly high opinion of the forumulation of my own beliefs -- but not even I am ready to challenge Forbes for accuracy. You, however...?

    Oh, and as to whether or not Trump is 'mentally ill'... do you have an expert sources of information to confirm that he is, indeed, insane? If not, then I suggest that you'll get more traction trying to stimulate Trump-hating by chasing some other horror story....

    I like the suggestions enumerated in the list you referred to at that link. It's too bad that about half of them depend on various bureaucracies and Congress in order to get anything actually DONE. Believe this if nothing else -- the House of Representatives will not (NOT) cooperatate or assist the Trump Administration in doing anything, Aleks. But the other half are 'do-able' and I agree with you on them and the efficacy of those suggestions, if implemented!

    As far as my education in American public schools goes -- well, Aleks, my PARENTS paid the taxes while I was receiving that education. Today, though -- who am I paying for? I never put children in any public school, and never took a penny from the government to educate ANYONE.

    I don't mind paying taxes for streets, roads, bridges, police departments, fire departments, etc. I actually depend on and USE those as a citizen. But, since I graduated from 'high school', I've had no connection whatever with any public school -- and as I said, my PARENTS paid the property taxes to support public schools while I was going to school there.... But again, what are people like ME paying for...?

    Your parents paid their taxes for THEIR education, not yours. You are paying for yours now. That's the theory anyway.

    No, Aleks, you pay your property tax, the lion's share of which goes to public schools in your district, in advance, based on last year's valuation. This is obvious because if you sell property, you get a pro-rated payment back for the portion of the year that hasn't occurred yet.... You pay your property taxes forward, Aleks... not 'in arrears'. In some rare cases, in some states, payment-in-arrearage is permitted -- but only for a period of one year. Longer than that and you are in delinquency!

    Thus, what I said is factually true -- a parent pays property tax (school district tax) and the child goes to school. But, the way it's been manipulated in this country, ALL property owners are forced to pay school taxes out of their property taxes -- whether THEY have ever had any children in public schools or not! This is blatantly unfair no matter how it's socially 'construed'....

    In any event, you surely do not (NOT) pay property tax based on your having gone to a public school DECADES ago, and neither does anybody else in the United States! Who told you that...?! As wrong as it is, it's probably something were taught in (guess what) a public school....

    Maybe the only remaining argument a dyed-in-the-wool Trump-hater can make, then, is something like, "Does Trump refuse to do anything to correct this blatantly unfair taxation of childless property owners because he's 'mentally ill'...?" :clapping: . :psychoitc:

    Don't be so hard on yourself, my friend.

    Read the Mueller Report; it's a tonic for the Trumpers, I'm told.

    If you pay insurance, you are also paying for other people's benefits. That's just how these schemes work. Everyone pays so that no one has to pay too great a burden and it all works out economically. I don't know how you can be so damned selfish about what you're taxed for. You don't use every road, bridge, police department or fire department around, either. In fact, chances are you have never once had need of the fire department. But if the system only charged those who actually needed these particular things, well, it would start to resemble a hospital bill..

    It isn't defamation to call out an obviously mentally unfit national leader when you see one. When someone is obviously mentally ill, it only makes sense for people to start calling that person out on it when that person is also in such an important position as the presidency. Perhaps you should have asked whether the presidency has become so important, because yes, it certainly is. The president has too much power and authority to be ignored, and this president especially is constantly in the spotlight by his own designs. It's what he seeks with his constant stream of nasty comments. He likes to be the talk of every news station every day of the week.

    The fact is one thing but the theory behind it is something else. You'll want to go on about how income tax is illegal next. You can have the cell right next to Wesley Snipes

    It's not defaming someone to say they have an illness. Many people with mental disorders still lead full and rewarding lives. If Trump were to get and receive treatment he might become a much better President and even person

    Does that come from deep in your little pea pickin' heart? So sincere

    Trump has tons of good friends who like him just fine. I do too. He does lots of nice things for people. And he's funny as hell if you're not too angry all the time.

    "If I had deleted one single email, it would have been the electric chair for Trump."

    That's funny.

    Every Democrat and leftist I know just goes insane every time his name is mentioned. I think they are the ones with mental problems, to tell the truth. How can a normal person be THAT angry all the time? He's not Hitler, after all.

    So basically everyone with severe TDS should be informed to get mental health help. Got it.

    There have been conflicting reports about whether Trump has any friends. Even if The Donald does have some friends, he wouldn’t acknowledge them in public during his campaign. During a campaign stop in New Hampshire at Plymouth State University, he told the crowd that he has no friends as far as he is concerned. He said he considers his supporters to be his friends, reports the Washington Examiner.
