monitoring Trump and relevant contemporary events

Nope, the politicized Trump DOJ are the malefactors. Lock him up, as World Series fans chanred.

MOSCOW (AP) -- A senior Russian diplomat says Moscow and Washington are running out of time to extend the last remaining nuclear arms control treaty.

Vladimir Leontyev, deputy head of the Russian Foreign Ministry's arms control department, said Friday that "it's clear that we won't be able to produce a full-fledged replacement" to the New START treaty that expires in 2021. He said that Russia-U.S. talks over the past year have shown that "there are issues that require very serious examination on expert level."

Leontyev said Russia's prospective Sarmat intercontinental ballistic missile and Avangard hypersonic glide vehicle fall under the pact, but other new weapons announced by President Vladimir Putin don't, including the Poseidon nuclear-armed underwater drone, the Burevestnik nuclear-powered cruise missile and the Kinzhal hypersonic missile.

He said the U.S. sees things differently, raising the need for new, complex talks..

Those swing states are the very ones who get to elect the president. Obama managed to swing them. I hope whoever wins the democrat primary, manages to do the same.

Regardless, Trump did something unlawful and should have to face the consequences of it even if the republican senators let him off in the end, the house was/is right to start impeachment proceedings.

AND 66 MILLION AMERICANS ARE GOING TO PUT HIM IN THE BIG HOUSE, THE ONE WITH THE IRON BARRED DOORS.

Since neither one of us can guarantee exactly what will be in the Articles of Impeachment, I think you're rather premature with your opinion Trump will not be removed.

An unusually stupid post even for you.

Isn't it as likely as any other outcome - that the people will see and hear clear evidence in the hearings that 45 tried to extort a foreign country into doing him a personal political favor - then just rationalize it, shrug go about their way?

More likely than other outcomes, when you consider the fact that Trump hasn't even done anything wrong.

Is it wrong for a sitting president to ask a foreign national to investigate a political rival?

Let's just skip over the part where you deny Trump did this.

Given the fact that "what Trump did" isn't even wrong, it's a pretty safe bet that Trump will not be removed.

Given the fact that the Democrats refused to remove Bill Clinton for committing serious felonies, it's a pretty safe bet that Trump will not be removed.

Given the fact that the Democrats did not get a single Republican vote in favor of this impeachment farce (and could not even secure all of the Democratic votes), it is a pretty safe bet that Trump will not be removed.

So, yes, it is clear that Trump is going to be our president until 2025.

But one day in the future (likely the distant future) there will be a Democratic president again. It's not to early to start thinking about impeaching them and removing them from office.

What you call his "accomplishments"

The former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev has warned that current tension between Russia and the West is putting the world in "colossal danger" due to the threat from nuclear weapons.

In an interview with the BBC's Steve Rosenberg, former President Gorbachev called for all countries to declare that nuclear weapons should be destroyed.
