I think it was Mitch McConnell, leader of the senate Republicans.

He (said he) voted not guilty because he thinks Trump shouldn?t have been impeached in the first place.



Keano: ?Perhaps Nancy and her gang should now consider resigning??

Like you do when you?ve set-up a trial that found Trump 57-Guilty and 43-Not Guilty of inciting insurrection.

The record stands, Trump is Guilty.

Just the 2/3 required majority, which was not met, means he?s acquitted.

Republicans scared to vote against Trump, immediately after the vote Don Jr announces we?re coming to get those 7 senators. Demonstrating the fear being justified. Disgusting.

Perhaps this isn't the thread for it...but this whole sorry affair highlights extreme partisan nature of US politics (echoed in the UK of course along both party and brexit lines more recently)...does the Republican party have a future in its current form? Which also raises the question on the democrats as well...which also raises the broader question of party politics in places like the UK, where both major parties are plagued by factionalism within their respective parties.


It's seems in our modern world, when narrow interest groups (at all ends of the political spectrum) often make the most noise, there is little room for 'moderates' with broad appeal when it comes to almost any issue....


(As I say, perhaps off topic a bit, but I can't be bothered starting a new thread right now!)

All valid and pertinent points, Cat.

Interesting how some Rep senators, pre-election, repeatedly branded the Dems ?far left, extreme left, left wing radicals?. When actually the Dems are Right wing, if anything.

They just are not extreme like some of the Rep senators.

It?d take some doing to be further right than the Reps now !

Or maybe she'll just avoid his hand when he tries to hold it as she usually does.


I suspect this will come back to bite the republicans at some stage.

No just the whole thing of allowing Trump to get a way with it.


I still think she'll stay with him ... even if she's unhappy (and she must be how could anyone be happy living with him). which is sad.

    • I’m not sure that would have been any consolation had anyone have been on the pavement at the time it tipped. 
    • At least it can't/shouldn't have been going very fast, if it was turning a corner?
    • It always amazes me how people choose to live near a pub which is already there, and then make life difficult for the pub because of noise! So it's great that Lulark is checking it out beforehand! Hoopers (R.I.P.) had the same problem. People moved in next to the pub and then complained about noise .... People have different thresholds for noise, so probably the best thing would be to go to the house  at different times of the week/day/evening and see whether the noise level is acceptable to you inside (if possible) and outside the  house (in the garden, if it has one?)? You could also ask the pub what events (if any) they hold during the week, and check out the size of their garden? Noise from the garden will obviously be more in the Summer and when the weather is fine. You could also ask them if they have had any complaints about noise from nearby residents? I imagine they would be happy to tell you, because they won't want anyone else moving in who is likely to cause them grief 😅 Also, they may have a time after which people have to be inside the pub rather than in the garden, so you could ask them about that. Gowlett Road is a nice area to live (and the pub is also a nice friendly pub!) . Good luck!
    • I'm guessing it must have been early. I passed about 7:30 and there was no signs of police or ambulance only the recovery truck.  My guess is that the bin lorry was approaching from the JAGS direction, heading down the hill, turned right, overcooked it and tipped.  Hopefully no one was seriously injured though I imagine those in the lorry must been hurt.
