    First attempt to impeach President Donald Trump launched by California congressman


    The first bid to impeach President Donald Trump was launched on Wednesday, with a California Democrat filing a long-shot attempt to force Mr Trump from office.
    Brad Sherman, a Los Angeles area congressman, accused Mr Trump of obstructing investigations into Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election, in part by firing former FBI Director James Comey.



    The move is unlikely to gain momentum, however. Republicans dominate Congress and have so far show no willingness to turn on their president, and Mr Sherman does not even have the backing of many fellow Democrats.
    The 62-year-old acknowledged that filing the article is "the first step on a very long road."
    "But if the impulsive incompetency continues, then eventually - many, many months from now - Republicans will join the impeachment effort," he said in a statement.
    Democratic leaders have distanced themselves from the efforts to impeach, believing it serves only to energise the president's supporters.
    Mr Sherman's resolution has one co-sponsor, fellow Democrat Al Green of Texas

    Bit sick, atm, of the (un)subtle attempts to re-brand May as Mother Theresa again after the failure of selling her as Mistress 'Strong and Stable', the Iron Lady mark II. From the touchy-feely interviews with Beeb ('Oh how tearful I felt when the BBC exit poll came through - I'm only human, don't you know', says the Maybot's new Crosbie-programming code) to the various right-wing commentators popping up on Sky, like Carole Malone (****ing old lush who doesn't let anyone get a word in edgeways, like a new Ann Leslie), to that oily turd from the S#n, Tom Newton Dunn on the Daily Politics, you can see the campaign to rehabilitate her grows apace. They all realise it's her Spock-like ass on the # 10 throne for the next couple of years, by when they hope the usual relentless campaign against Corbyn and Abbott will have eroding Labour's lead in the polls by then.

    And talking of unsubtle - what about the insidious campaign on the Right to promote Jacob Rees Mogg as some sort of personalty wonk? FFS, the same right-wing commentators and 'opinion-formers' lining up to defend May and promote Rees Mogg are the same ones who destroyed Ed Milliband for being a geek who couldn't even eat a bacon sandwich. As Littlejohn himself, their semi-sober, sclerotic-in-chief dog-whistler would put it, 'You can't make it up'. Though they do.

    ****ing flabbergasted over the last two days with the 'fallout' of Hammond's comments re public/private sector workers, and Southern train drivers in particular. First of all, this is all contrived - just like Ken Clark branding paramedics as 'Van drivers' in the 80's during the last, ideological driven 'austerity' drive: this is all about divide and conquer, and to (re) create a public sector - private sector battle, whilst their own supporters in big-business do the real siphoning off of public money in organisations such as G4s, private ownership of care homes, academies and the likes of Grenfall Towers tenant associations (and others throughout the nation) paying themselves eye-watering salaries to do the jobs that council clerks on £30k and a NEBOSH certificate could do (and do better, unarguably)

    But to Dan Hodges (the new Woodrow Wyatt), and his pre-planned appearances on Sky as the mouthpiece for Hammond: he was decrying (understandably, imo) the salaries of Southern train drivers and their recent refusal to accept a £70k wage packet. This was given as an example of public sector workers' high pay. FFS - the railways have been privatised for nearly a quarter of a century: train drivers' pay (salary) has rocketed in the last 25 years BECAUSE of privatisation and the creation of an artificial internal market for their skills. This is indeed a 'triumph' of capitalism (at the expense of other railway workers such as guards and station staff, I must add too), not militancy.

    But if the definition of a 'Public Sector Worker' is now to be termed as someone who ultimately relies upon the taxpayer to subsidise their job, then can we look at the private companies and spivs that leech off taxpayers' money by providing 'management' services in all the above industries mentioned (including the ****ing army of management consultants and lawyers), and what value for money they provide? Philip May, for instance, with his finger in prison and health care provision? The likes of ATOS when they provided, all be it at IDS's explicit request, an assessment procedure of disability benefits that ultimately cost more than it produced in results?

    And this, I tell you, is why the Tory Party are not just the 'Nasty Party' - they are ****ing evil.

    Be easier to list the few Liberal and Labour MP's opposed to both. Most Conservatives voted for them.

    How the **** did you make that leap of a conclusion, that I don't care that Tony Blair took us to an illegal war? So your logic is that because of that (I hate Blair, Mandelsohn and all their little acolytes like Kendall and Umunha, btw) we should not be disgusted that the Tories (and DUP) were celebrating in Parliament after denying public sector workers a pay rise of above 1% like they had just won the Champions League, the PGA and the world snooker championship combined?

    CEO's and executives of most privatised industries, tbh. Oh, and evidently the tenants association at Grenfell Tower (and doubtless around the country too) to pay themselves £150k of public money to do a job that a council clerk on £30k a year with NEBOSH certificate used to do.

    It would be inappropriate in any country other than France. Doing it in France shows that Trump understands Gallic culture.

    Russia demands return of property from US
    Russia is demanding the immediate return of diplomatic properties seized by the Obama administration after claims Moscow hacked the US election.
    The Kremlin has accused the United States of setting conditions on the return of the compounds in New York and Maryland.
    Former president Barack Obama ordered their seizure in December as well as the expulsion of 35 Russian diplomats.
    Russia has vehemently denied any involvement in election hacking.
    Deputy foreign minister Sergei Ryabkov will meet US undersecretary of state Thomas Shannon to try to thrash out a solution on Monday.
    His boss, Russian foreign minister Sergei Lavrov, was also reported as saying on a visit to Belarus that "anti-Russian feeling" in the United States meant it was not certain that Moscow and Washington could agree on key global issues.
    Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said: "We consider it absolutely unacceptable to place conditions on the return of diplomatic property, we consider that it must be returned without any conditions and talking."
    President Vladimir Putin raised the issue with Donald Trump when they met for the first time at the G20 summit in Hamburg this month.
    Mr Obama said he was ordering the ban due to US intelligence reports of Russian hacking and an alleged influence campaign to sway the US presidential election in Mr Trump's favour.
    He said Moscow was using the compounds for "intelligence-related purposes".
    The Russian President held off from retaliating at the time and said he would wait to see how Mr Trump reacted after he came into the White House.
    However, hopes that Mr Trump will soon act on his campaign pledges to boost relations have faded as any ties to Moscow have become toxic.
    The White House has faced a maelstrom of US investigations into possible collusion between Russia and the Trump campaign.
    Russia is intensifying its threats that it could now retaliate by blocking a country house and a storage facility used by the US Embassy in Moscow.
    Mr Lavrov said last week: "If Washington decides not to solve this issue, we will have to take counter actions."
    Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova complained that the US was also refusing to issue visas for Russian diplomats to replace those expelled.
