Yes, if he is ousted before the end of his tem you win.

 

I don't think strong convictions is the sign of a closed mind. When you fail to change your mind when evidence proves you wrong, that is not a strong conviction that is stupidity.

And the plot thickens...

 

I read The Guardian's article. The ads they serve really do a diservice to the site. Many are click bait to even worse material. I hope the ads you see on this site are not nearly that bad.

 

The following quite, from their site, is on point, but if I know anything about Americans The Guardian will need to serve thier shitty ads for a long time to come

 

"Rampant disinformation, partisan news sources and social media's tsunami of fake news is no basis on which to inform the American public in 2020. The need for a robust, independent press has never been greater, and with your support we can continue to provide fact-based reporting that offers public scrutiny and oversight. Our journalism is free and open for all, but it's made possible thanks to the support we receive from readers like you across America in all 50 states."

Yes on my phone Google is serving ads that appear between page views -- which I hate. I recently set an option to reduce the ads by 50% 

 

I think Google is revealing something with the dating ads you see. I use to see them too until I became serious with someone, then they disappeared. 

 

I wish Google was not a primary revenue source.

Sure, I would not be surprises if 45 did not finish his term, but it is virtually 100% certain that he will finish the year.  WIth your money I'm going to the casino and bet $50 on Black! 

The bet was he would be out by the end of 2018.  You won.

But surely your Astrological predictions are influenced by your interpretation. As you know, no two astrologers world interpret indentical charts the same way.

 

Since your interpretation is a function of who you are, then your experiences and the information you've consumed must influence your interpretations. Right?

 

Now if all the revelations of January result in no meaningful consequences -- or even a second term -- will January be a "watershed" moment?

The interpretation is the Astrological prediction. I said January would be a turning point. You seem to be under he impression that nothing has changed, so what can I saw. I don't let my personal feeling impact a reading. I said that Trump would most likely win when he was running. Then I said a over a year ago that he  wouldn't finish his term. You disagreed with both positions. So perhaps it is your experiences and information colour your positions.

I have over the years come to have a low tolerance for the so-called news. I'm perfectly content to wait a week or so and read what actually happened rather than the blow by blow. To me it's just a tactic media organizations use to sell more advertising.

 

That said, Trump's behavior in recent days is alarming the reaction of many of our citizens is even more so. Apparently some would really like to see a coup. This is a reflection of the profound dumbing down of our population and/or the critical situation many people feel they are in.

 

@Delano if you are suggesting that your astrological predictions foretold recent events I'll take you at your word. Many pundits have been suggesting that Trump would not leave willingly. To me those predictions were irrelevant because it doesn't matter what he wants he will be removed. As cynical as I am about our country I cannot believe that any attempted coup led by white insurrectionist would prevail. We are better than that despite all of our flaws

Posted

LOL! Dude there are on 197 hours left in 45's term. Removal from office seems unlikely, besides what is the point?

 

But time will tell and I never would have predicted this turn of events. 

 

It makes me think of the U.S. during the Civil War. It is crazy how quickly some folks will turn violent if they do not get their way.  Fortunately we have matured as a nation and there will not be an all out Civil War.

 

I suspect 45 will end up in jail at some point. While many want to just let him off to placate his supporters, history tells us that would be a mistake.  Placating the traitors you rebelled against the union resulted in 100 years of lost progress for Black people.

Well @Delano despite an insurrection and being impeached twice, 45 will, make it past Wednesday, and serve out his term as I predicted.

 

My reason "trumped" your astrology this time huh?

Troy my statistics professor said you should know who you are gambling with when you bet.

 

Let's make it interesting. How about  $50. for him not finishing his term. but you only have to pay if he either is impeached or terminates in January.

Nope, I never did, but I still believe he'll serve out his term.

 

The wheels of justice turn slowly and for men like 45 they rarely turn at all. 

Time will tell

Whoa, that is the kind of sly distortion of reality I'd expect from Pioneer LOL!

 

Dude in less than 3 days trump will almost certainly complete his term.  However I will give you this.  If the working of  prosecution (also unlikely) happens and

 

To be prosecuted a 2/3 majority in the Senate is required and that is extremely unlikely -- surely your tarot tells you that much. 

 

I'm surprised you are still fighting, this when the outcome is obvious.  It has been an interesting 2-year conversation.

@Troy

No I am not. I don't care about the bet. Keep the money. What I do find interesting is that impeachment is rare. Yet Trump had two and both are within the time frame I initially mentioned

Posted

Del, most people didn't think he would be elected -- and he would not have been were it not for our greedy media giving him outsized, free coverage.

 

I think the overriding point of the conversation, and the subsequent wager, was the fact that I believed he would serve out his term -- despite your astrological prediction.

 

Is my summarization inaccurate?  If so, please tell me how you see it.

 

I've lived in American longer than you have, and probably have a better idea of how it works. White people can simply get away with far more shit Black people can. 

 

Obama opens his mouth in the first few days and he is called a "Liar" in the chambers of congress! Did any one do this to Trump? The stark contrast is mind boggling.

 

Look, once the democrats lost the senate and house it was pretty obvious, at least to me, that 45 would serve out his sentence (oops, that was a Freudian slip I meant "term").

Posted

@Delano What?

 

Will you acknowledge, that on this given day, and in this particular case, my reason/logic "trumped" your astrology/tarot?

 

 

 

Posted

@Troy how often do impeachments happen, and how often does a President get impeached. And how often does a person predict the time frame and then the second impeachment also happens during the same time frame 

 

You were right he is still in office, it cost me $50.  I rather predict the dates of his impeachment, then have $50.

Posted

Death is just one potential way for him not to complete two terms.

 

It would be interesting to see what the oddsmakers say for Kamala Harris becoming the next president. I believe the chances are better than 50/50.

Wednesday, January 13: Impeachment by the House

Monday, January 25: Transmittal of article of impeachment to the Senate

Normally, the process of transmitting articles of impeachment from the House to the Senate is reasonably simple, though it does require appointment by the Speaker of impeachment “managers” (which in this case preceded the impeachment vote) who will present the case for impeachment in the Senate before and during the subsequent impeachment trial. It’s up to Nancy Pelosi to decide when to march the managers over to the Senate to “exhibit” the article and trigger a trial under the procedures set up in the upper chamber’s standing rules governing impeachment. After Trump’s first impeachment, Pelosi held back transmittal of the articles for nearly a month (from December 18, 2019 until January 15, 2020).
