FedUpJW: Of course 99% of people these days would fail even the most basic of grade school level civics classes.
Says a person that is completely wrong about the process.
Jesus fucking Christ. Read the goddamned US Constitution. It's not that long or hard to understand:
- US Constitution: Article I, Section 2, Clause 5 - Impeachment: "The House of Representatives ... shall have the sole Power of Impeachment."
YES: Trump has been impeached.
NO: He has not be tried by the Senate so we don't know yet if he'll be acquitted or convicted (HINT: Mitch McConnell has already publicly stated that there won't be a fair trial. So there's that.)
Deal with it. And please, for chrissakes, stop saying stupid shit that's just plain wrong. It doesn't help!

Doctor Who: I don't deny climate change. What I deny is the influence man has on it.
How do we know climate change is real and that much of it is due to human activities? That's a great question. As a science teacher, I would encourage you to examine the evidence, of which there is plenty (NASA: "Climate Change: How Do We Know?").
"The current warming trend is of particular significance because most of it is extremely likely (greater than 95 percent probability) to be the result of human activity since the mid-20th century and proceeding at a rate that is unprecedented over decades to millennia" - IPCC Fifth Assessment Report, Summary for Policymakers, (Emphasis added).

Interesting thread, Terry.
People are often wrong. That is why scientific methods are so important; they are inherently self-correcting.
Peer review is an essential part of the process, unlike say religious proclamations and edicts which are not allowed to be questioned.

atomant: he cant get impeached ...
a watcher: he will not be impeached ...
Simon: He is not going to be impeached.Except Trump has been impeached.
The US House of Representatives has the sole authority to impeach a sitting President and they did that on December 18, 2019, when the House of Representatives approved articles of impeachment on charges of abuse of power and obstruction of Congress.
The US Senate then holds the trial and has the sole authority to acquit or convict, which of course has not yet occurred.
I understand that the Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, is holding on to those articles of impeachment and has not officially sent them to the Senate as she and McConnell engage in a game of political one-upsmanship, but that does not negate the fact that Donald J. Trump has been impeached.
Please, get your facts straight!

I’m sorry for your loss. Your aunt was a very positive and helpful person. I really appreciated her thoughtful and encouraging posts when I first came to this forum after leaving the cult a decade ago.
