Help me figure this out.

After Clinton I have to admit my ignorance, I thought all impeached presidents were to be removed. I think this is the first president that was impeached and allowed to remain president?

I misspoke, impeachment is not an everday word and the way it works is kinda weird, and I've even heard news reporters accidentally misuse it.

The comparable legal term to "impeach" is "indict." Trump then was impeached, that is, formally accused and put on trial, but not convicted.

This did happen two other times in American history. Andrew Johnson and Bill Clinton were both impeached, put on trial, and acquitted in the Senate trial.

Nixon was clearly going to be impeached, but resigned before the House voted to impeach him, because he saw the writing on the wall.

I've heard somewhere that a group of high ranking republicans basically approached Nixon and said, "You're going to be convicted if you don't resign." Otherwise Nixon probably would have held on to dear life.

I'm using one of those blackhead removing nose strips right now.

PROBABLY what i'm gonna do is say to myself "those are some nice tips."

And then just not do anything about it.

But thanks.

It was kinda satisfying slowly peeling off the strip after.

Yeah, i don't think I'm gonna use it again. I just was curious to see what would come up.

It didn't actually remove any blackheads...I did have some really tiny super short noise hairs ON my nose though (I'm real hairy in general) and it ripped those out, so I consider that a win.

My nose tends to be oilier than the rest of my skin so I should look into that stuff you linked to.

Help me figure this out.

Just cause I woke up from a nap and now I'm grumpy and groggy:

Do you think Republicans are going to regret not impeaching a President they know to be unethical, who's not even particularly popular when we're talking about the general public, lost the popular vote, and who they know probably did everything he was accused of in his impeachment trial?

Impeachment was a golden opportunity for republicans to do their civic duty without losing face with Trump supporters and nominate someone worthy for office for November, there was still plenty of time to nominate someone at that point, the Dems didn't even have a nominee yet.

Sigh.

I hate trump and was hoping he would get impeached.

That said, i'm curious which drug you're talking about and if you have a source about the people dying thing.

Why is this happening?

I dont want martial law either.

I heard the that the mayor of nyc city, when he said he was banning public gatherings of whatever number or more, was asked by a reporter "what happens if people don't obey". And he said something to the affect that "what happens is you might catch a virus that'll you'll give to your grandma and kill her."

As of right now, that is the biggest stkck i've heard or seen the gov't use here. And thats also the one thing that does make me happy in all this is that:

People, for the most part that i've seen, are not panicking. They are social distancing out of love and civic duty and that's a beautiful thing and gives me hope.

I remember when hurricane sandy hit my area a few years ago and that was a real poop show as far as fear and panic goes comparably. People were absolutely savage to eachother, and only looking out for no. 1

I couldnt comment @Lano .
I havent watched it. Not able due to disability. Can only watch very brief video and only sometimes and mostly only when theres subtitles

To be fair though , even when people do share the source people usually discredit the source anyway.

People often only trust sources frm the athorities.


But the authorities like our government lie to us all the time. I cant understand why people automatcially trust them.. especailly as I have seen first hand how they have decieved the world about my illness as being mental illness when it is neurologcal.

People have died around the globe because of their dishonesty. Even he chief medical office refused invitations to Invest in ME reserch conferences for 10 years plus

It's true the government lies about a lot of things and the government does bad things. That doesn't mean that the corona virus is really a coverup for radiation caused by the 5G grid. Referring to the guy in the video: I'm not going to take lessons on what viruses are from a guy who sounds like he didn't pass 8th grade biology.

Whether someone believes in a conspiracy theory or not, in the end they are still trusting an authority. It's just they're preferring one authority (whoever is making the video or post or whatever) over another (the government, scientists, medical community, etc).

I trust what my experience tells me to be true, and when someone who actually cites facts of about the body that Iam familiar with and coincides with other things I have learned about body, I trust that.

This video was deleted from youtube but can still be seen here..

I tried watching that video out of curiosity.

First couple of minutes is a guy making statements without supporting them with evidence.

Then there is some kind of radio show or maybe podcast or something where a guy is interviewing...some dude with a long name...and said do begins talking about diseases. I stopped watching he started talking about cells having blood and nerves.

I mean, it's really not going to take long to see if your predictions are true, so rather than attempt to talk you out of your self-induced panic i'm going to sit back and let reality take care of that.

Social distancing is temporary.

As is the natural course of this, most people are more affected by the social distancing than by the virus at this point and many will reap the benefits of social distancing while complaining about it the whole time and after its all said and done will insist that it was really nothing. Because social distancing made it less bad than it could have been. Sigh.
