House of Representatives voted along party lines to impeach President Trump on one count of abuse of power and one count of obstruction of Congress related to his campaign to pressure Ukraine to investigate a political opponent.
It is just the third successful House vote to impeach a president, following those of Andrew Johnson and Bill Clinton. (Richard Nixon resigned prior to the vote to impeach him.) On the abuse of power charge, the vote passed 230 to 197, with two Democrats voting no. On the obstruction of Congress charge, the vote passed 229 to 198, with three Democrats voting now. Tulsi Gabbard voted “present” on both articles. -

Originally posted by Speedy Parker What crime? Crime being defined by a statute. Nixon had three articles of impeachment. They were obstruction of justice, abuse of power, and contempt of Congress. One of those is a crime. Can you guess which one? I'll give you a hint. It's the article that Trump does not have. I know you are mentally challenged as evidenced by the fact that you let cable networks do your thinking. So here is the answer.

See the difference between the sham that Pelosi won't even send to the senate vs Nixion and his very real crimes?
Real lawyers unlike yourself debated over this and it was approved by the House. You are just a Trump suck up with no mind of your own. NEXT! -

2019-12-31 at 11:41 AM UTC in Dump idiot TrumpThe fairytale world of the Born Again Christian looking for Rapture
The question of the decade is: Why do people support President Donald Trump? A letter to the editor of the Lexington Herald-Leader by David Bowles claims people only support Trump because they believe his “fairy tales.”
We all know why white supremacists do, that is obvious. But why do good people support Trump? It’s because people have been trained from childhood to believe in fairy tales.
From childhood, they were told stories that were fascinating but simply not true. This set their minds up to accept things that make them feel good. Later in life some people mature, study facts and cause and effect, and start thinking more logically, even if the results are undesirable.
So you have this population that loves Trump because he makes them feel good. The more fairy tales and lies he tells the better they feel. Trump is a master liar who knows what makes people feel good and that is what he goes with. Sure, it would be nice if climate change did not exist.
Show me a person who believes in Noah’s ark and I will show you a Trump voter. There are multiple solid scientific reasons the ark did not happen. Some people learn this and some don’t, and those who don’t will accept Trump. But can the world survive on fairy tales?

U.S. to pay farmers up to $16 billion for trade war losses, South to benefit
WASHINGTON/CHICAGO (Reuters) - The U.S. government will pay American farmers hurt by the trade war with China between $15 and $150 per acre in an aid package totaling $16 billion, officials said on Thursday, with farmers in the South poised to see higher rates than in the Midwest.
The assistance, starting in mid-to-late August, follows Republican President Donald Trump’s $12 billion package last year that was aimed at making up for lower farm good prices and lost sales.
U.S. farmers, a key Trump constituency, have been among the hardest hit in the year-long trade war between the world’s two largest economies. Shipments of soybeans, the most valuable U.S. farm export, to top buyer China sank to a 16-year low in 2018. -

Be prepared for the new and improved Trump commandments like:
1) Its OK to cheat lie and steal

3) Evangelicals will be Raptured no matter what they do

2019-12-30 at 9:56 AM UTC in Dump idiot TrumpComparing Nixon and Trump in troubled times
Nixon was a skilled lawyer who had argued before the U.S. Supreme Court and survived political crises both public and personal. He knew the powers and limitations of each piece of the U.S. government — including his own. Nixon was a skilled lawyer who knew the powers and limitations of each piece of the U.S. government — including his own.
Toward Watergate’s end, Nixon took stock of his situation in light of his deep experience and educated judgment — and, in a farsighted move, resigned the presidency before the U.S. House of Representatives could impeach him. Nixon, in other words, knew when the jig was up.
Today, it’s Donald Trump who’s enmeshed in a presidential scandal. It’s hard to imagine a man whose political experience and temperament are less like Nixon’s. Nixon had a lifetime in politics; Trump never held a political office before the presidency. Nixon, at least in public, spoke and wrote in the measured tones of an accomplished government official; Trump — well, we know how Trump expresses himself. Nixon was a subtle strategic thinker; Trump’s signature skill, as his wife Melania has said, is to "punch back 10 times harder."
Trump will do almost anything to avoid acknowledging that he’s been defeated. He never accepts it — even when it happens. -

2019-12-29 at 3:54 PM UTC in Dump idiot TrumpBend over and spread your cheeks Trump Lovers. IDIOT Trump’s tariffs have so far hurt more than helped
By Marc Bain•December 28, 2019
US president Donald Trump’s tariffs appear to have hurt US manufacturing more than they’ve helped it, according to a study by the US Federal Reserve Board released this week.
The paper, which the authors call the first comprehensive estimates (pdf) of the tariffs’ effects on manufacturing, concluded that the tariffs led to fewer jobs in the sector, as their negative effects outweighed the benefits. Manufacturers were supposed to get a boost from the protection against practices by US trading partners Trump has deemed unfair. Instead they were hampered by rising costs and retaliatory tariffs.
How Trump tariffs are hurting U.S. consumers
Walmart is among the retailers who plan to raise prices because of the Trump administration’s tariffs on Chinese-made goods.
It’s not just the nation’s farmers who are feeling the negative effects of the tariffs that Donald Trump has imposed on imports from China.
The resulting trade war between the two countries cut off one of farmers’ biggest customers. There already have been a record number of bankruptcies for Midwest farmers. Soybean futures have hit the lowest price levels in a decade. Commodity prices for pork and cotton also are spiraling down. But more than just farmers are feeling the pain.
If Trump imposes even more tariffs, as he’s threatened, those added costs will be borne not by China but by U.S. companies and U.S. consumers. Those consumers may be forced to pay higher prices for shoes and clothing at stores like Walmart and Target. Walmart imports 26 percent of its products from China, while Target imports 34 percent of its merchandise from China. Others already feeling the pinch are people buying new appliances from manufacturers that rely on imported materials and parts — prices for washing machines already are up 12 percent because of the tariffs. -

but the one thing that is for certain, is SIZE.
just 2,000 years ago, the average human was nearly 18" shorter than we are now.
in noah's day, and we do have fossil records of humans 15,000 years ago, they were literally half our size today on average.
this also would go for the animals compared to now and then.
the saber tooth tiger is depicted like the size of real lion, but in reality, it was twice the size of a fat house cat.
so, whatever animals there were in Noah's day, including Noah and his own family, were more than adequate for the size which the Ark is described with given dimensions.
haggy, for someone who lives off science, this should be common sense for you!!
Lets face it God was intellectually challenged putting people thru that shit. He was the one that fucked up things in the first place! -
2019-12-28 at 10:46 PM UTC in Dump idiot TrumpFarmers in southern Somalia are shooting at huge swarms of locusts with heavy machine guns in a desperate attempt to save their crops, according to media affiliated to the jihadist group Al-Shabaab.
According to the group’s media, insects that have infested farmland around the southwestern town of Tiyeglow, an Al-Shabaab stronghold, are being shot at with a PKM rifle — a machine gun version of the Russian Kalashnikov.
The news comes as the country experiences its largest locust infestation for 25 years. Since July, swarms of Desert Locusts from nearby Yemen have invaded vast swathes of the Horn of Africa.
A typical swarm can contain up to 150 million insects per square kilometre. Each locust can grow up to 4.3 inches long and travel up to 95 miles a day depending on the wind. Every day, an average swarm can consume the equivalent of a year's worth of food for 2,500 people.
According to the UN’s Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO), the locusts have already destroyed 70,000 hectares (175,000 acres) of farmland in Somalia and neighbouring Ethiopia.
The plague has been far more serious than experts projected it would be and has been made worse by unseasonably heavy rainfall, which has killed hundreds of people across East Africa over the last few months.
According to a spokesperson from the FAO, the favourable weather conditions mean that there is a high chance that the locusts will continue breeding rapaciously for the next three months.
Somalia’s chaotic fighting makes spraying pesticide by aeroplane - which the FAO has called the “ideal control measure” - impossible, the agency said in a statement.
The insects have compounded Somalia’s dire humanitarian crisis. The east African nation of 15 million people has been struggling to recover from a severe drought that ended in 2017.
In August, aid agencies said that over 2 million people were threatened with severe hunger as crop yields continue to fail.
Aid agencies now say that the locusts mean that many Somali farmers will face starvation unless relief reaches them over the next few months. -

Symphony of the Seas Cruise Ship Review
Royal Caribbean's newest ship is also it's largest
Symphony of the Seas measures 361.011 metres (1,184.42 ft) in length and has a gross tonnage of 228,081 across 18 decks. She is able to accommodate 5,518 passengers at double occupancy up to a maximum capacity of 6,680 passengers, as well as a 2,200-person crew. There are 16 decks for guest use, 22 restaurants, 24 pools and 2,759 cabins.
World’s Biggest Cruise Ship
As the world’s largest cruise ship by gross tonnage (22,021 tons), Symphony of the Seas is quite simply massive. Built in France, the ship was completed in March of 2018 began sailing with passengers later that year. She follows along with the previous Royal Caribbean Oasis-class ships in terms of design, but with many features unique to the ship. Big enough for a water park, a full-size basketball court, ice-skating rink, two rock climbing walls and a whole lot more, the 5,518 total passengers on board can sail for a week or more and still discover new and exciting things to try and explore, including seeing all 20,000 tropical plants in the ship’s ‘Central Park’. -

2019-12-28 at 7:09 PM UTC in Dump idiot TrumpRimmer here is New Evidence Suggests Noah's Sons Rode Flying Dinosaurs
CREATION SCIENCE BREAKING NEWS
For years, Creation Scientists have disputed how Noah was able to quickly collect millions of indigenous animals from remote, inaccessible regions of the world for a 40-day ride in his ark. New evidence from an archeological find in China supports the long held Christian belief that Noah's sons rode giant flying dinosaurs to transport duck billed platypuses from Australia, and penguins and polar bears from the Antarctic, to name a few. "Those must have been some mighty big flying dinosaurs," says Pastor Deacon Fred. "Imagine the look on Noah's face when his sons flew in for a landing with a pair of Hippos strapped to the back of one of them things! Glory to God!"
"The Lord is just amazing," says Creation Scientist, Dr. Jonathan Edwards. "Whenever Atheist scientists make a new find, they think it will hack away at our Christian beliefs. They must get pretty peeved at how sneaky our Lord is, because whenever they unearth something, it only provides more support for the historical accuracy of the Holy Bible And these flying dinosaurs they keep finding are no exception!"
Dr. Edwards explains that it would have been impossible for Noah's sons to travel to the four corners of the earth to areas that were previously inaccessible on foot. "Noah and his sons had to collect two of every single creature on the face of the planet," he says. "We're talking about a big haul here. At first we just attributed it to what Creation Scientists call, the Holy Finger Snapping Theory. That's where God snaps his fingers and just makes it so." Edwards points out that Creation Scientists are still unanimous in attributing the fact that Noah was able to load 100 million plus animals onto a 450 foot ark "in the selfsame day" (Genesis 7:13-14) to the Finger Snapping Theory. In the case of how the animals were collected from remote regions of the world in the first place however, recent archeological finds indicate that Noah's sons were able to tame giant flying dinosaurs and in turn, load them up with food supplies and hitch rides for long trips around the world to China, South America, Australia, Greenland, and the North Pole.
Creation Scientists estimate that since the Earth is only ten-thousand years old, human beings were living among dinosaurs and had plenty of time to tame them. "I would have loved to have been around to see Cain and Abel rolling around in the grass outside the Garden of Eden playing with the pet raptors their father, Adam, gave them for their birthdays," says Pastor Deacon Fred. "What a glorious time that must have been!"
Through tithing donations from Landover Baptist Church members, the Center for Creation Research was able to secure several fossilized remains of flying dinosaurs valued at over $14 million. The remains will be studied exhaustively for evidence of the leather harnessing used to secure Noah's sons for their long transcontinental journeys.
