    He has not been impeached. Technically, there is no impeachment until the final vote to send articles across takes place.

    True that.

    Harvard Law Professor, Noah Feldman, who testified for the Democrats for this House impeachment process:

    Trump isn’t impeached yet, not until the house tells the Senate “…and indefinite delay would pose a serious problem. Impeachment as contemplated by the Constitution does not consist merely of the vote by the House, but of the process of sending the articles to the Senate for trial. Both parts are necessary under the Constitution…”

    The reason the "indefinite delay could pose a serious problem" is because if they don't send articles to the Senate by the end of the session this year the whole process is "dead on the vine".

    Could this be Nancy's ploy: "We knew the Partisan Republican-controlled Senate would whitewash Trump's evil so we choose not to send the Articles to the them. We Impeached Trump!!! and the Senate never exonerated him!!!". She knows few if any of the Media will report the fact that without sending the articles to the Senate there is no Impeachment. The Media is continuously beating the drum that Trump has been impeached.

    Nancy hopes to get the best of both worlds, Trump is impeached and the Senate cannot vote it down

    I suspect Trump will make it well known that he wasn't impeached if the Dems don't follow the Constitution and finish the process.

    Maybe Pelosi will get some new teeth in San Francisco and then do her job. She is evil.

    Yeah, plenty of funeral homes there. If she goes thru enough of their barrels, she'll find some better teeth.

    If I suddenly had 1/10th of HER wealth, first thing I'd do would be get dental implants.

    I don't think Trump used the name "Biden" in his phone call. It seemed like he talked about corruption "generally" and asked the Ukrainian President to deal with the well known political corruption in his country. I mean after all, we have the right to know that our taxpayer dollars aren't going down another rat hole.

    yes he did use the Biden name later in the phone call :

    "The other thing,There's a lot of.talk about Biden's son,. that Biden stopped the prosecution and a lot of people want to find out about that so whatever you can do with the Attorney General would be great.Biden went around bragging that he stopped the prosecution so if you ·can look into it ... It sounds horrible to me."

    Which activity is perfectly within the right even the duty of the POTUS to ask,

    there is no quid pro quo this also would not be a crime it just doesn't look good.BUT THERE WAS NONE.

    There is concern about this in spite of Joe Bidens denials of wrongdoing.

    Trump shot the golden goose.

    The upper classes think that they have a license to steal. Look at Maxine Waters, she lives in a 4 1/2 million dollar mansion in West Hollywood. Of course, I myself would not want to set foot in West Hollywood, a homosexual city. Biden, Pelosi, and Kerry (I think) all got their kids to the trough in the Ukraine. The deal is that Ukraine can get military aid against the Russians but they have to kick back part of it to the upper class in the USA.

    Waters needs to go. She's 81 years old! She's been investigated for corruption several times. Shr's been associated with Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan. She still goes by "Waters, altho she & Mr. Waters were divorced in 1972, & she's Mrs. Sid Williams now.

    On toppa all that, she's a flaming liberal. She needs to go.

    Something is rotten in Denmark...that is, the proper channels have been acting corruptly.
    • By all accounts, Ukraine is known to be extremely politically corrupt.
    • Burisma is one of Ukraine's most politically corrupt companies.
    • Hunter Biden, as son of VPOTUS, is put on Burisma board raking in untold millions.
    • V/POTUS threatens to withhold $1B unless Ukraine fires prosecutor investigating Burisma.
    • High level US diplomats variously deny knowledge of or involvement in Burisma.
    • High level US diplomats ignore obvious American involvement with corrupt Burisma.
    • Ukraine helps Dems and media mouthpieces actively campaign against Trump 2016.
    • Trump camp is illegally spied on by FBI, helped by CIA, foreign entities, DNC, Hillary's crew.
    • Trump admin is investigated by Mueller, including corrupt FBI entities and Dem hatefuls.

    • Eventually, Ukrainians vote in an anti-corruption (aka "drain the swamp") president.
    • Trump calls upon this new President of Ukraine to help US deal with US-Ukraine corruption.
    All of a sudden, there is a problem with how things are being handled with Trump being the culprit? Not buying it. The proper channels have been acting corruptly. And this farce of an impeachment by the Dems is further proof.

    I dont see a problem with that. Yes, leagally she is Mrs Williams.
    But publically - its best to stay with one name

    Look at Christian author Elizabeth Elliot - she was married three times - but
    for public purposes - she retained the name of her first husband. It can be
    confusing with different names. I was listening to an interview she had once
    that her publisher insisted on her retaining her orgianl married name.
    And the same goes true when she had a radio ministry.
    BTW - her first husband was missionary Jim Elliot
