If he does testify that Trump instructed him to contact the Russians during the election, impeachment becomes realistic.

This will be dragged out until the mid term elections however which means 2019 at the earliest if ever. An impeachment vote will not be passed unless the Democrats hold the House of Representatives which they currently do not.

He will never be removed from office though. The numbers simply aren't there and Republicans won't turn on their own president.

It will never come to that, Trump will walk long before he's pushed. His ego is too big, once the tax cuts go through, I think he will become less and less interested.

It’s such a ridiculous system. Imagine such an important piece of legislation going through without anyone reading it

His ego is the exact reason he won't walk. He can't be pushed. It takes the House of Representatives to vote for impeachment and two thirds of the Senate then to ratify his removal following the impeachment process. The Republicans control both houses. It would take a massive collapse in the mid terms for the Democrats to gain control. It's never going to happen.

Justice League is absolute pants.

It's actually a terrible film. There are parts where you can see just how embarrassed the cast is at the absolute state of it.

I just don't get how you take all these great characters that have literally millions of pages of brilliant content behind them and turn in a movie like this.

It's basically 'money shot' the movie because that's all it is. Get the cast together in their outfits and have them regularly stand beside each other and act badly.

If WB had any sense they'd jettison the entire project now and start over.

They've gone about building the cinema universe completely backwards. JL showed all these new characters at a glance as if they each have at least one solo movie behind them giving them back story and when something happens to a side character I'm supposed to care? Nah. They'd be wise to use the Flash solo movie to try start over but WB don't seem to get this at all so they won't. It's a shame though there was part of JL where I saw what if could be if Snyder wasn't involved. Batman fangirling was my favourite bit though. We won't talk about Stepinwolfs CGI.

I must be one of the only people who actually enjoyed Batman vs Superman. It was not a well made film, it was all over the place and did not tell a great story. Still, I liked it.

I really liked the Afleck iteration of Batman, it was like the film, not a whole lot of anything other than darkness, it's where he's been driven to. Never liked Superman, but still. Cavill is decent.

It kind of grows on you I think. Has some good moments: "Is she with you?"

Thing is though, that was more or less one of the only moments of levity in the entire film. And people slated it for that. It was dark, it was brooding, it was suffocating in it's nature. I liked it for that. And I'm not even emo.

Would you unhook this already please? I don't deserve this kind of shabby treatment.

My apologies if this has been asked and answered before but are there any English language French rugby podcasts around? My knowledge of it is terrible outside of the Champions Cup teams and even then it's 'name' players only.
