That guy's a blowhard. All the profanity and name-calling isn't going to get him very far.

"Virtue signaling" is a weird term that seems to be big with the alt-right lately. I'm not clicking on a Breitbart link, but, people can vote with their pocketbooks if they want. I don't see anything wrong with it.

Ladbrokes, the British oddsmaking giant, has Trump’s chances of leaving office via resignation or impeachment and removal at just 11-to-10, or just a little worse than even money. The odds of Trump being impeached this year in the House of Representatives are only 4-to-1, according to the Irish bookmaker Paddy Power, despite GOP control of the chamber. You can win $180 on a $100 bet with Bovada, the online gaming site, that Trump won’t make it through a full term — though the bet is off if Trump passes away during the next four years

I really dislike and borderline hate that Trump tweets about stupid stuff, he needs to stop that crap, but I find putting odds out that he will be impeached this year is just silly. I seriously doubt that will happen. Just more hysteria from the "enlightened", IMO.

The only chance that he'd be impeached would be if a mega bombshell came out about him soon, like some kind of election malfeasance. I think that's unlikely. If Democrats somehow win a majority in the House and Senate, they might initiate impeachment, but only if Trump has done truly awful things. I don't think it will happen.

That article wasn't a left or right piece. It was just showing the betting going on and the odds given the same as the Super Bowl or the Suns winning a Championship. You can bet on anything and they do.

There is a movement to impeach Trump and that's just people signing a petition which means nothing really. There was talk of impeaching Obama too and like this wasn't based on anything specific other than people just not liking the President.

There was that fake/not fake story going around earlier with the ex British agent hired by Republicans to dig ip dirt on Trump and later picked up by Democrats. They have been investigating that story and have corroborated some of the guys claims. If it ends up being not fake as Trump claims then that could be a problem for Trump.

But the intercepts do confirm that some of the conversations described in the dossier took place between the same individuals on the same days and from the same locations as detailed in the dossier, according to the officials.

Some of the individuals involved in the intercepted communications were known to the US intelligence community as "heavily involved" in collecting information damaging to Hillary Clinton and helpful to Donald Trump, two of the officials tell CNN.
Until now, US intelligence and law enforcement officials have said they could not verify any parts of the dossier.
Officials who spoke to CNN cautioned they still have not reached any judgment on whether the Russian government has any compromising information about the President.

Reached for comment this afternoon, White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer said, "We continue to be disgusted by CNN's fake news reporting."

"virtue signalling" is a common term on conservative sites.

What is the point of posting this? So what, some girl wears a pro-Trump dress. I don't even know who she is, and she can wear whatever she wants.

I think it kind of is a big deal for a Black woman entertainer to wear a Trump ad/dress to a major Hollywood event. The GOP has had a major problem connecting with minorities. I never heard of her and they say she isn't that popular but, guess what?

Joy Villa’s album “I Make The Static” instantly jumped to light speed, soaring to No. 1 on the U.S. iTunes album sales chart, as well as No. 1 on Amazon’s top digital albums.

It was previously ranked on Amazon at No. 543,202 before her Grammy appearance.

He lit some fireworks at the protest. Wow. Real criminal. You're such a troll man. You make me sick. I'm grateful for not having the real you in my life because your board presence really gives me lost hope for humanity. As if it weren't already low these days. You'll get a pass from others for whatever reason on here. But I'm done. Wiping my hands clean of your disgusting graces around these parts. Haven't used the ban feature because even bad seeds have grown that I've met. Deuces.
