Uh huh. Except it's the House that impeaches, not the Senate.
But otherwise, sure.
You know what was meant. Are you ignorant?

Dems - who are you supporting?
1) Bernie Sanders - pushing 80 and a recent heart attack victim. Self-avowed socialist.
2) Joe Biden - likely an Extortionist and also pushing 80.
3) Eliz Warren - a chronic liar and possibly a felon for misprepresenting her heritage. Also pushing 80.
Dems - is this all you got???

You are confused. Pence has a lot more baggage than Romney.
did pence run twice for president and lose each time?
was pence shown to be an absolutely unrepentant liar during elecitons?
did pence turn against the leader of his party in a crisis?
Pence did none of these things. He is a classic evangelical/movement conservative and has experience as veep. He is liked well enough by magas and conservatives. He would be the Trump replacement, no question.
Absolutely it will be Romney not pence. When Trump goes down, pence will have the stench of trump all over him. Romney has the moral chops to bring respect and dignity back to the party.

This is just like timing the exit on a trade. It’s clear we are getting closer to the bottom, but many are not ready to close out their positions yet. As more start to do so, others will be motivated and some will keep lying to themselves that being long trump is still profitable. Others will even size up their position. For that sad bunch still long trump after the bottom is in, a big squeeze will engulf them and force them to get stopped out with big losses. Those will have been the biggest losers.

Everyone thought my guess of Romney stepping in was crazy. I think it will happen. The new Democrat activists will prevent Biden from winning. It will be between Warren and Romney. Romney has a good shot to win. For this to work, we need trump to drop out soon.
Most other enlightened Republicans see Trump is deteriorating very quickly. Time to remove that ceo from leading our country. He is dangerous, we all know that.
Trump knows that if he waits too long --after the Senate votes to impeach him, and it does-- that he will lose a lot of money, and that is a great pain to a needed fake billionaire. Trump would lose: $400,000/year in pension, 100% taxpayer funded health care, secret service protection for life, taxpayers funding a ex-president's office including full paid for staff and coverage of all travel expenses.
Trump forgoes a salary and you think he cares about receiving a pension???? Bahahahahaha!!!!!!

Some things:
1) I would have to investigate to see if that indeed was ILLEGAL. There are things that don't rise to the level of illegal that are still not ok. I have already said that Biden's son getting that job there was at least a bad idea from an optics point of view. There is no evidence of wrongdoing by either Biden to date.
2) I have never heard of en.interfax.com.ua before, so until a reputable news organization does a story on this, I can't really put any weight on it.
3) Nothing that Joe Biden does or has done makes any difference with regard to what TRUMP has done. Might make me hope that Warren is the Democrat nominee, but I already prefer her to Biden anyway.
4) Donald Trump is the President, and HE is a clear and present danger to our democracy. His removal from office (by legal means only) is paramount.
It is shameful that you support a President who is openly criminal. Shame on you.
Flagpole - thumbs up on you supporting the removal of the president by legal means. Nice one. We all hate him but he should be removed by legal means. Very nice!
Aka you love agent orange

It’s amazing that not even Fox News are reporting this. You might want to broaden your news horizon because you seem too quick to share everything you find that fits your narrative with LRC.
It’s not that long since you were excited about Barr coming for Comey. There should have been a lesson for you to slow down and do a little more research before parading fake news like you’ve won a prize.

Trump does NOT forgo taking a salary. He takes it and donates it. Why does it do it that way? Because he can claim the donation as a tax deduction to offset other income and maximize his loses.

$400K and health care? Come on. His rock and roll lifestyle before he became president cost several million a month and he doesn't need health insurance. $400K wouldn't even cover Melania's annual wardrobe expense. And he already had bodyguards before he took office.

He got it from zerohedge and looked up an alternative source so he wouldn't get hammered for using his favorite known Russian sponsored fake news source.

The problem with trigged is that he’s easily manipulated, believes everything Trump says without any critical thinking.
Would have been a great candidate for Trump University.

Hey Sheila! No one cares what you think. You post a fake quote from Mrs. Clinton and then won't admit you were fooled by it because you are no man. You are a gullible wanker who falls for any right-wing crap you can find. You are so dumb. Go suck on a wattle tree, mate.

Legally you are supposed to claim the both the income and the donation. They offset each other and the net result is zero. But in Trump's case he is known for failing to claim income (I forgot excuse), and doubling down on expenses.
Doubling down means claiming the same expense through multiple companies broken down to make it nearly impossible to connect the repeated deductions together.
Think: Deduct 50 items through company #1. Then deduction 20 of the 50 items in company #2, 15 of the 50 items through company #3, and 5 of the 50 items in company #4. And while you're accounting staff is at it (not his tax firm) tweak the names of the deduction to obfuscate the double down as much as possible.
Another expense example of Trump's is that he never pays for meals at his properties. No bill is created. The food he and his family eats are a loss. Trump is not the only "rich" person doing this. Image any normal taxpayer having a way to deduct meals eaten as a tax loss.
I don’t see how Trump can survive the next year.
Fox News isn’t helping.

If this trend continues he’s in trouble.
Drudge Report while significantly less important has also turned on him.

Nonsense. Have you seen cash flow statements for commercial real estate properties? Nothing like what you describe exists.
Trump and his family can eat wherever they want and it's equivilant to pocket change for regular people.
