I was brought up the way catholic it was like the pledge of elegance as kids we were used to it nowadays I pray for all of the children in all schools lordy they sure need it the people have changed in the world and not for the better pls dont shoot the messenger I miss prayers in school pls weigh in what do you think? inquiring minds want to know, Coldersky minus the halo:innocent::thinking:



I never had prayer in public school. Our endoctrination was into patriotism instead of religion. However, I do wish kids had as much self reflect time to meditate, pray, whatever, as they do political time to learn which 'side' to take with political and social issues.

The Impeachment is an attempted "Coup D'etat" to take out the President...just so you know, when you hear the same thing, 11 times or more, most people tend to believe what they hear, but ask yourself...why has no one ever provided "supporting evidence" to back up even one accusation against Trump?



Evidence that he groped women comes from his own mouth.
Evidence that he bribed a public official investigating his Trump U scam is public record.
Evidence of his daughter's global patents in the past few years is public knowledge.
Evidence of his withholding congressional funds in return for investigating Biden has also been backed up by those working with him.
Evidence that he used charitable funds for personal use was proven well enough that the courts found him guilty.

I do not just believe what I hear. I also read to verify or refute.

Assuming I accept what you have said although I may view those things in a different context, are any of them significant to the point where impeachment is called for? Why use the impeachment route when in 10 months, the voting public will have an opportunity to decide if Trump is the POTUS they want for the next 4 years? I expect the answer to that question will be a resounding YES!!


That is the question. I think the answer is YES. Using congressional funds for personal gain and intimidating public officials to obstruct legal precedings, SHOULD be impeachable.

Impeachment means the public CANNOT vote him in again, if removed. IT is a more certain way to get him out than trusting a vote of the public of the same folks who elected him the first time.

I am happy with him leaving by vote or by impeachment.
While a conviction of impeachment will remove him from office, it takes a separate vote of the Senate to deny him the ability to run again. I doubt if it would be politically feasible to deny him the ability to again run for POTUS.



Well, the average joe could not work in a bank again if convicted of stealing, just saying. Makes no sense to have grounds for removal and not deem that reason to not allow another run.

Yes. Unemployment has always been complex. Some have ALWAYS been unemployed by choice or being unemployable.

Most people do not realize the economy is not set up to have zero unemployment and too LOW a rate has its costs as well.

Let's remember, President Trump is credited for the lowest black unemployment rate since democRATS owned slaves.
5 more years!!


He does love to take 'credit'.

Obamas first fiscal year black unemployment was at 17.3 and had dropped to 14.1 by his fourth fiscal year's end and dropped to 6.8 percent by his final fiscal year budget

Trump entered his first fiscal year with black unemployment at 8.2 percent, and in this, his third fiscal year, it has dropped to 5.1 percent. And the trend that begun UNDER Obama continued.


Truth


Truth is, unemployment for African American went up, under Obama, it's Trump's policy of breaking the cycle of poverty for minorities that has, for the first time, grown the economy from the bottom up, the exact opposite of Obama and all other politicians!



?

Yes . The black unemployment rate(along with everyone else's) was going up WHEN OBAMA ENTERED OFFICE, it stopped going up in 2010, when it was at 16%. Over the next six years, it dropped to 8.4(almost a 50% drop). Since Trump entered, it has dropped to 6.5 percent, a 1.9 percent drop.

Comparatively, how has trump been the "opposite" of Obama?

What are your opinions of this
development?
The world is questioning President Trump's motives.
What do you believe his motives were?



to get re elected, banging the drums of war and all, a move he claimed Obama would do to get re elected all those years ago, remember?


Also, to rally more support and attention away from his impending impeachment, or disrupt it altogether.

I never thought about it. I just love music period. BUt if I had to choose, I am a person who enjoys more personal touches than technology provides. So, I prefer the music that had real voices(no auto tune), real instruments, and songs with lyrics that had real substance. So, I would choose old school. There are still some modern artists that have the old school sound though, like Bruno Mars for instance. So, I would include all music with an 'old school' sound, even if it is created by current artists.

may be it will work out real good.


I have a loved one who is Christian and marrying a Muslim. IT works because they both respect each other and don't try to change each other, and at the core of both their beliefs is that people should be respectful and kind. That is why I say that problems arise with different CORE beliefs, not religion, because even within religion, you will find people will have different core beliefs.


Example, as a Christian, I believe I am a sinner and equal to other sinners. I treat other sinners the way I hope to be treated, with love and compassion.

I know there are other Christians though, who believe their saved status requires them to make other sinners outcasts. They carry on like they hate the SINNER, instead of the sin.

I think it is usually faulty logic to only look at dollar to dollar comparisons when we speak about budgets of countries around the world, because of the different populations. Some countries that have fewer people should be expected to have a smaller budget than countries with more people. Some countries will have less expenditure for military because they are smaller and some will have more because they are bigger. Some countries will spend more on healthcare because of their cultural lifestyles, and some will spend less .. etc...

As far as military spending specifically I feel mere war spending could reflect a run to controlling things and also could reflect a run to avoid others attempting to control the US.

I would be more concerned with actual aggressive military actions against innocents than mere spending on military. That would make me feel a country is making a run towards world control(of any type).

Race is not a barrier.

Conflicting core standards, values, and beliefs is likely to be.

Hello Ms. Harmony,

Now that we know the outcome of Impeachment in the Republican strong Senate
I was curious if Hunter Biden's appointment as Director of Ukrainian Gas will be investigated?

After all Hunter's appointment to the board of Burisma Holdings, - Ukrainian was from 2014 when his father was VP? and was also the time when U's military aid budgetary approval was given by Obama / Biden - right?



You mean the aid that was given in response to and appointment that happened after the Ukranian uprising in 2014 that ousted the President and caused an investigation into public official?

You mean the board that one of those officials HIRED in response to the allegations, which consisted of lawyers like Hunter?

Why not? Investigate.


They can chase their tails as long as they want with that one. I suspect they probably will, like they did the whole birther conspiracy.

It will probably be as 'scandalous', in the end, as the numerous PATENTS Trump's daughter suddenly is acquiring all over the globe during her role as 'presidential advisor'.

You need to read the bible.... It is the book of God love to man kind and how to love God and every body... God bless you



This. Pay special attention to what Jesus said and did. The Bible is still filled with plenty of accounts of imperfect humans and their choices. They are accounts to learn from. But Jesus is the way, pay attention to HIS actions and words.

Character is defined as: the mental and moral qualities distinctive to an individual.

nothing to do with 'world view'

and for me, it does NOT mean you have great character because you say 'if you insult me, I am going to punch you in the mouth', that is just a warning about how lowly your character is. The fact that Trump runs his mouth with threats, is not, to me, a sign of character.

and still having issues in other places in the world also has nothing to do with the qualities I posted, as no President will be able to make things all perfect for everyone everywhere. OBama was president of the USA, not the world, and the USA avoided a depression under his leadership.




As far as Bill Clinton, few men who have been POTUS have NOT been in some way unfaithful to their wives in some way we know about, the short list of those men being OBAMA, certainly not Trump.

WE had not had a serious threat of terrorism since BEFORE TRUMP took office, but I am sure his fans do not mind giving him credit, like they do for alot of things that had already been set in motion BEFORE January 2016.


And Hillary, the usual double standard towards woman was in full view. Million miles flying, I know we are not talking about travel being an indicator of ability to lead.



And the US President is being impeached because there is an appearance that he runs the office like he did his thousands of lawsuits business, without integrity, and for personal promotion of his pockets and his brand, there is the appearance he used money set aside by CONGRESS to extort personal favors for his campaign, and there is more than an appearance that he uses THREATS of harm as personal vendettaas against INDIVIDUALS, and that he uses promises of 'charitable donations' to influence LEGAL PROCEDINGS against him.

In other words, as the articles state, he is being impeached for abuse of power and obstruction of congress.

Mostly. For my own safety I hide my nonbinary identity from parents, who call it 'in style'


I am real. However, I am not stagnant. I adapt. In this forum, the threats from the unstable amongst us are not so pressing or immediate, so I am less reluctant to give a less popular opinion for fear of social or physical retaliation.

In person, I do not rock the boat, aggravate anyone, because you just never know and there seems to be alot more of the emotionally unstable sorts of folks these days. I kind of just remain agreeable or silent as my default positions.

The best candidates, for me,

1, have experience working within the THREE branches of Government to understand the authority and limitations of their position and branch and a demonstrable understanding and knowledge of the constitution



People can serve in the federal government as elected officials and still not understand constitutional limitations.


True. But at least they have had to WORK with them hands on and therefore gain more than a passing understanding.

What is 'progressive' about wanting to fill a position with someone that has experience, knowledge, integrity and respectability?

Are those negatives for 'fiscal conservatives'?

No, they are not negatives but your definition of what they mean is. Experience: operating and managing a very large national or international enterprise. Knowledge: both formal education and real life education. Integrity: being who you say you are. Respectability: earned by the things you have accomplished in life and how you treat other people.

In my opinion, most politicians fall far short in many of those areas. I know there are people who would make an excellent President but they are too intelligent to even consider getting into the political quagmire!


From a learning and entertainment point of view
I think words we use are like concealed weapons – concealed agendas - but there's no reason to blow our fuses as I'm not a stakeholder in US politics.
Just an entertainer!!

There is a concealed agenda is...
What happens in US today impacts India tomorrow.

Another reason, we Indians have already experienced 70 years of socialism. While this gives a good start for a poor country, - like the famous GI Bill - it also puts the brakes on accelerated progress. It left us with an accelerated growth in population that drove demand and concealed large scale corruption

So I am around to learn how to blow the brains of corruption

This elaborate explanation is also for one trigger happy lady who otherwise is a light in Mingle, ha, ha
--xx

Referring to Ms. Harmony's well structured Rules - for best candidates:

Ms. Harmony's Rules:

1. Experience working within the THREE branches of Government

2. Experience working in non-profit or public sector / military leadership

3. Character


I will respond to Rule # 1 for now

A. Government does not create businesses and jobs unless it is a socialist government where every business is nationalized.

B. In Socialist government owned business - it gives a great start to build talent

C. Govt. owned business over time become non-competitive.

In India, public sector industries have been swept away by competition from within and overseas: airlines, telephones, hi-tech manufacturing, power plants, etc.

Only the railways, post offices, nuclear power plant and a few defense companies remain. All other products are imported or have large import components.

Clearly, Bureaucrats are good starters - within a given frame - but they are not change managers. They resist giant leaps in innovation and have a horror for change.

Example, they cannot decide whether man should land on Mars or not.

Caution: If candidates from the three branches of government is all that matters then how is it different from Communist Russia?

In Russia and China all government higher ups are Communist card holders. I have met Chinese higher ups who run projects in India and they stamp their signatures with Secretary xy, CPC

--xx

Skip point 2 - and cover it in 3

--xx

# 3 Character - a world view (not behavior - or slip of tongue profanity)

Bill Clinton A great man - he slipped and destroyed all of us who are in our mature years as a respectable tier in our societies - without a tweet or profanity. All over the world !!! Personally, I don't shake hands with young women because forever I'm examining my intent. Talk of equality - when a younger woman smiles - I'm reminded of Bill and turn into a worm!!

If the US Constitution does not provide any clause for loose morality while in Office as grounds for impeachment - they should have referred to character in 10 Commandments - because of In God we Trust.

He also destroyed a life - Monica's

Bush - After 9 / 11 - he invaded the wrong country - and blamed it on a branch of govt.

Obama - impeccable character? - for a great politician, Yes. But not the kind expected from American President. He allowed Syria to destroy itself - by 'concealed US support to Syrian majority fighting military rule'. There was enough space for Russians to enter - then ISIS - then the mass exodus to Europe. Or maybe, Merkel wanted Muslims to boost up aging population. He was Europe's man.

Hillary Clinton - over exposed herself as Secretary with her million miles flying. No foreign head could revert to respecting her even if she were elevated to Presidency.

Trump: Four years of relentless barrage from the Media and the Democrats - anybody else would have folded. Trump resorted to Tweets, building a body of humor and resistance for his voters. This is how the world understands the man.

That this President has character is amplified by the fact that he forewarns the oppositions and external enemies of consequences. The choice is theirs!

Result on the Ground: While inside the US there is turmoil – the world no longer fears terror attacks as it used to. Great solidarity among almost all nations on this one issue. Reason: Donald Trump's threats

Carly Fiorina: Great motivational speaker for young - To me she sounds like HR. She says she graduated in Medieval History and psychology which may explain her rise in Corporate sector. This sounds like she drives by looking at the rear view mirror. Frankly, she scares me.

So back to the question: 'Why is the US President being impeached?'

The answer is simple.

One has to understand Jeff Bezos his Amazon and why he took over Washington Post.
He not only funded but was chief fund raiser for Hillary. (already a thread in M2)
He and his friends lost in multi-millions - a billion or more

Forget the election campaign and Fake News
Jeff Bezos friends wanted their money back.


So he rang the bell for impeachment - hours after election result was announcement.

It was Jeff who made it an honorable challenge to 'hound the new US President'
- In the History of the World - this had never happened before !!!!!!
The term Impeachment was raised before he was sworn in!!!1
It was like filing for divorce before the day of marriage !!
It was like my rejection - before I could ask her out for a date!

UK's Guardian followed next.
CNN competing for UK market share - took it as a crusade with Mueller Report
Rest of media followed - Indian media is affiliated to UK Times.

Media amplified and spread the hate

There were even rumors within the Republican that Trump will fold

Initially the social media went against - Trump
Trump rallied with his tweets.
Reuters stood their neutral ground
Al Jazeera then Fox News took the vacant space
Slowly the war on the net turned around.


And this thread could go on till 2024 unless ...



Again, the point is to have had some experience in the framework of the industry one is applying for head position in. Government is not a business or dictatorship, it is not run for profit. Government is a three branch entity with each branch having constitutional authority and limitations. I feel it is important, before someone is in that position of POTUS, that they have had enough experience within those three branches to have a working idea of how each works with the other and where their position will fit in.
