The Trump Impeachment Thread

When people say Trump's 4 billion or whatever his current wealth is, is proof of his talent, perhaps he should've been 3 times richer if he hadn't been a deluded troglodyte. That is also possible.

As real estate investor, Trump is not in top ten, or top twenty. Number 36. In his area of expertise. He's also used up most of his working years.

7th isn't bad when you consider the
others are all inherited wealth and
Trump's was gotten thru his own
hard work.

Hans II who has a net worth of $4 billion is monarch of Liechtenstein, population of 38 thousand and GDP of$5.3 billion.

Most European constitutional monarchies employ a parliamentary system in which the Monarch may have strictly Ceremonial duties or may have Reserve Powers, the Prince of Liechtenstein has broad powers, which include the appointment of judges, the dismissal of ministers or government, veto power, and the calling of referendums. The veto power of referendums is the power that some people object to the most, but in 2012 76% of the population did not vote with a proposal to curtail the Prince's power.

His 22 year old grandson would be the legal heir to the throne of United Kingdom if the Catholic line had not been forcibly removed in 1688.



James II had become monarch on 6 February 1685 at the age of 52. Although he had been married to a younger Catholic bride for 12 years, up until his coronation, they had no children. The English people probably would have tolerated an old Catholic man for the rest of his life, he gave birth to a son on 10 June 1688. The British people did not want a Catholic dynasty and he was forced out of the country.

The Protestant daughter of James II by his first wife, was age 22 when he became monarch. She would have been his heir, but Parliament brought her and her husband into the throne when she got a Catholic step brother.

I'm getting way off topic here, but is there any member of this forum who can speak to any religion other than Christianity and Judaism? I have a genuine interest in learning about other religions and would be interested to start up a knowledge-seeking thread. Personally, I know a thing or two about Buddhism (although I keep forgetting how to spell it) but not nearly enough to lead an intelligent discussion about it.

I can mostly just explain a little about what I learned on the Hare Khrisna (sp?) klan. Start a thread if you like as I usually have this one blocked.

Interesting! Do you know the whole chant? I do. It's kind of catchy, I can see how people can get into singing it over and over for hours.

I'm perplexed too.

But it's so obvious, it should be like a massive supernova going off two nanometers from your cornea.

If you need a hint,a clue should be available in my sig.

Note 1: I am not comparing it to the power, energy, violence or luminosity of a massive supernova, but saying it was as obvious as the power, energy, violence or luminosity of a massive supernova going off two nanometers from your cornea; i.e. it should be that hard to miss.

Note 2: the preceding Note 1 was not intended as an insult to anyone living or dead, any inferences you draw are your own responsibility.

Note 3: the preceding Note 2 was not intended as an insult to anyone living or dead, any inferences you draw are your own responsibility.

Note 4: the preceding Note 3 was not intended as an insult to anyone living or dead, any inferences you draw are your own responsibility.

Back to Trump
I see Kim is now making more demands to meet
I think Kim is playing Trump
Kim knows Trump needs this more then himself
Will Trump play along and placate Kim or will Trump go hardline
Hard to tell

I'm still not sure why such extreme statements are necessary to make your point.

I understand that AMLO is considered as having a lock on the Presidential Race in July. I was told that President Trump really had very little influence on the Mexican Presidential election.

High Profile events just before election day.
June 8–9, 2018 Canada La Malbaie The 44th G7 summit at the Manoir Richelieu.
June 12, 2018 Singapore Central Area Trump is scheduled to meet with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un for the 2018 North Korea–United States summit.

Transmisión del Poder Ejecutivo Federal is December 1.

The first G20 summit in Latin America is scheduled 30 Nov – 1 Dec 2018 (Friday-Saturday). According to Wikipedia the new Mexican President will attend. Is that your understanding as well? I don't know how he flies to Argentina the day before inauguration.
