Bit of trivia. The only elected US president to be impeached was...
Bill Clinton!!!
History, a lot can be learned from it.

In case of loss of the president...

• The Vice President
  
• Speaker of the House
• President pro tempore of the Senate
• Secretary of State
• Secretary of the Treasury
• Secretary of Defense
• Attorney General
• Etc.
• Seeing as how the house and senate are both controlled by the republicans you democrats look to be up **** creek.
• Now can someone lock this thread or put it under political crap where it belongs

Midwest, I'm just an old Aussie, working class background, automotive service indusrustry, forever indebted (esp being a Vietnam vet) to America 700 + service personel who gave their lives defending Oz from the bloody Japanese Southern Invasion Fleet just east of Cairns (Queensland) in 1943, a few weeks prior to Midway. This old codger have his love for all Americans on my mind on my death bed.
None of you know how closely I relate to the long suffering rust belt & school teachers et al of America. It is shameful what fantastic hard working Americans have had dealt to them in the last ?? 30 years.
I'm sad that America is presently being torn apart and frankly speaking, and I'm sorry for any political statement here, The President Elect is in my (maybe only my) opinion the sort of man who doesn't care a damn about anybody other than the image of himself, the image which is so gloriously reflected in the mirror.
Give me Mike Pence, even Bannon or Rudy Guilani over the President Elect any day.
God bless ALL Americans.....even Eric.
And I hope that America starts to reunite, not into "us & them" but into the worlds best ever country on the planet. like it was in the latter HALF of the twentieth century.
End of rant, thanks for listening (reading)

Thank you.
This election cycle has been especially nasty. Civility has gone out the window. Read some of the prior posts here for good examples of the nastiness that is on our streets here everyday. I kept hearing "Let's all try to get along" them wham, election is over and the knives come out. Voicing a preference for a candidate is one thing, derisively commenting on folk because of their choice is another. Personally I believe in giving someone a trial before condemning them. Trump won, no question about that. Even if you don't like it give the man a chance before burning him at the stake.
BTW, I am just another working class stiff too. Army vet too if that matters.

ETA; This is still in the great lakes forum, why isn't it locked, deleted or moved yet?

I went to Walmart today to stock up on some 7.62x51 NATO FMJ, and saw this at the checkout.

What's not to like about the guy?

As a Canadian living in the US, he checks all my boxes.

Well if we turn this into a gun thread that's sure to get it locked.

It's not, I just liked the headline and bullet points.

Mate you must give credit to your diggers for what they did at Kokoda. Their suffering was unparalleled except perhaps US Marines at Peleliu.

I was at the national war museum last week and in Melbourne for the moment of silence on armistice day. Aussies truly are patriotic. Btw I've been to lithgow six times and have fotographed and recorded every SLR they have.

In Canberra I picked up a new book on Long Tan. Aussies give it their all.

Now back near Canada where this weekend it will snow but not too cold right mike?

You do know that Trump has an extremely cosy relationship with that magazine, it's equivalent to a child's comic book.
It's sure interesting to view the changes going on in the world, the human species is very tribel in nature and is it ever showing. The USA is fractured in ways I never thought possible. Maybe imigration, which used to be the driving force in America is no longer working as it once did. Certainly the idea of killing the middle class and allowing a few to get most of the pie will never be solved in the current environment.
I was having a discussion with a futurest almost 20 years ago and he predicted that computers would eventually remove a large majority of the working force and while the well educated people would have a future the average Joe working with his hands would be screwed. His view was that Government's could never rely on the free enterprise system to solve these problems as companies really only care about the bottom line. I pity those folks in the rust belt for even having hope that their jobs might come back, while politicians will say anything to get elected, it's really sad that the average Joe will be even more disappointed in a couple of years because those promises have as much validity as the National Enquirer.

You are certainly right that Australia has a special place in their heart for America and it came from WW2. As for Canada being cold you have to keep in mind that there is lots of the USA that is just as cold, I've frozen my butt off many times in America. Our home is in Vancouver which is considered one of the world's nicest cities and it's actually very mild there if you can live with the rain in the winter which we would prefer not to so we cruise in the warm spots.

I hate to shoot 7.62x51 NATO rounds through your theory, but I remember the Reagan years. Full employment when everyone's boat was lifted with the rising tide of prosperity. Smiles everywhere.

The tide is changing.

I believe that the Dems think a term of Trump would be quite beneficial to their candidates in 2018 and 2020. On the other hand, as I mentioned before, it seems very clear to me that most of the Republican establishment are not supporters of Trump, his constituency being generally a populist one, and on the other hand the GOP, both Tea Party and otherwise, does support Pence and would be thrilled to see him in the Oval Office.The pubs would start an impeachment process, not the Dems. As you say the VP replaces the President should something happen to him, and with the GOP controlling Congress they would have their own man in the White House. One slip they can pin on Trump and the GOP sends him packing. It seems obvious- am I missing something here?

Of course. It's part of Conspiracy Theory Class 101. The pubs are always good at circular firing squads.

I love fooling around with guns as well, lots of fun. Well I know Reagan is a hero to most Republicans but while he promised to shrink big Government he actually really grew it by a heck of a lot. He did inherit a poor economy and he certainly spent gobs of money but like all trickle down economic programs the poor just got poorer and the rich got richer. As a percentage of the deficit he added more dept than Obama who faced a much tougher economic mess thanks to what was handed to him. Frankly I'm not really a believer that one party is better than the other because for the most part it's business that creates all the jobs. There have been years when the USA was really going gang busters as in the Clinton years but don't you think that it's really just timing and who is ever in power gets the credit, kinda my point of view. Now back to your gun there, what do you use that military round for? It's ok but other calibers are more accurate if your into target shooting and it's not a great hunting round although it would certainly do the job.

[topmast]

Given the apparent blind tolerance of his fellow Republicans impeachment may not happen soon but WE all may soon be entertained by a charges brought forward by the groped girls called liars . The big name lawyers (pro bono) may make him squeal yet. On that same note some 42% of ungroped american women feel they missed something. so you never know.. added,,,, I hear than the Nato 7.62 is hard on the barrel A poor choice unless just spraying the illegal immigrants indiscrimatly
