@TimStone yeh but no matter how many Democrats support it, it'll take bipartisan support and unless some of the GOP grow a backbone or realize that Trump is going to cost them their jobs in the next election it's going to fail
and Trump probably thinks also that he'll be able to Veto an impeachment
@Nzall not sure, i heard about this on our ABC News and the person talking about it said something about him being jailed for life for lying which seems really weird and might have been a joke. but i don't know if UK Parliament is like Australia's where you can't serve if you have a criminal conviction even if said conviction occurs after you taking office

If I remember correctly this came around in part because of the fuel crises in the 70's? Where we were like "lol the Middle East has to sell us fuel" and OPEC turned around and said "Actually"
Worth noting that a decent chunk of that voicemail had been published in the Mueller report already but tbh I think we need the actual recording released for people to appreciate the full weaseliness of that message
lmfao I know that we've discussed the merits of Comic Sans in here before
