Paid Members Jazzy G Posted February 5, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted February 5, 2017 (edited) Well hang on now, don't tell me you never looked at Amy Rose and thought, "If life were just a little less cruel..." It's all about Rouge the Bat. Â Â I saw the words "Bowling Green Massacre" and imagined a group of pensioners being at some championship in the wrong place at the wrong time with Elton Welsby documenting this whole thing in the style of the Hindenburg disaster, little realising it was the name of a town in them there "Yoonited States of 'Murica".

Paid Members JNLister Posted February 5, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted February 5, 2017 Can someone actually explain impeachment, what needs to happen, who can start it, and whether it could actually be done for incompetence. I mean, who is the Presidents boss? (Don't be a smart Arse and say the American people either I have a book on US politics but it's all the way over the other side of the room. Â It's basically a way for Congress to remove a President (or other public official) for treason, bribery, or "high crimes and misdemeanours", which means a crime that specifically relates to being in public office. Exactly what qualifies is very open to debate, but it's generally an abuse of power. Â The impeachment is the equivalent of being charged rather than convicted. To impeach a President, a member of the House of Representatives makes a request and it then goes to a committee. If they agree with the request, the whole house votes on whether to impeach. Â If they do impeach, it goes to a trial in the Senate, with several members of the House of Representatives chosen to present the case (like a prosecution lawyer) and the President bringing his own lawyers. At the end, all of the Senators vote and it needs at least two-thirds to back a conviction. That means the President has to be politically very unpopular because that will almost certainly require people from his own party to vote against him. Â If the Senate votes for conviction, there's no punishment as such, but the President is immediately removed from office. It's never happened: two presidents (Andrew Johnson and Bill Clinton) were impeached but acquitted, while Richard Nixon resigned after the House committee approved the impeachment request but before the full House voted for impeachment, so he never went to the Senate trial.

Paid Members BigJag Posted February 5, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted February 5, 2017 If this idiot was impeached. And thrown out, would that mean his VP (Pence). Would become president? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Jazzy G Posted February 5, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted February 5, 2017 It would mean Pence became President. Â Elton Welsby used to present the crown green bowls on Sky Sports years ago. It'd be him and a camera crew in a beer garden somewhere filming them. Â My Mum has a pub and the weekend of the big tournament finals is usually one of her best weekends of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Your Fight Site Posted February 5, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted February 5, 2017 Flying to New York next week, should be a markedly different place from the last time. Yup. I'm flying out in July and dreading what the place is going to be like by then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members BigJag Posted February 5, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted February 5, 2017 (edited) I think it'll be largely sorted by then. The trouble with the recent stuff is that he didn't prepare any of the services for it. They were as much in the dark as the rest of us, and had to scramble to implement his EO. The fool is operating in secrecy. Then expecting the government machine to respond and action his whims. Edited February 5, 2017 by BigJag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/url] She's alright by me, I think she's a very good comedy performer- especially by today's standards. She wasn't as good as I hoped in Ghostbusters though, her character was much straighter than I was expecting. Edit: sorry, realised I was taking things off-topic a bit there Edited February 5, 2017 by PunkStep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
