What are the chances of Donald Trump's impeachment?


The Repo’s control the House by a wide margin; DT would have to do something WAY OUT OF LINE to get the 218 votes needed to pass Articles of Impeachment against him. Republicans currently have a majority of 247 seats in the House; the Democrats only 188.
And remember, Impeachment is just the first half of this megillah. He would still need to be convicted by 2/3 of the Senate (67 Senators.) The Democrats and Independents count for only 46 seats.
More and more commentators are talking about the 25th Amendment as an option. There you would need the Vice-President and a majority of the Cabinet (15 seats) to remove the President. Nine votes total.
Really, though, we are getting way ahead of ourselves here. You can’t impeach and convict a President just because you don’t like him. It would be better for Democrats to start organizing now to take back the House and Senate and then shut him down legislatively.
AND do you really want Pence as the President. The guy is a religious nut who would like nothing better than to turn US into a theocracy - especially in the area of women’s health. He looks and speaks like a nice guy, but he has an agenda. Be very careful what you wish for.

Rani Mukerji and her husband appear in public for the first time after marriage, see pic

Rani Mukherjee and Aditya Chopra with her husband has been significantly reduced. After filmmaker Aditya Chopra, Rani Mukherjee married twice but was caught on camera, but with Aditya Chopra, Rani has been seen for the first time. Living in hiding from the media cameras Aditya recently while hanging out with his wife Rani Mukerji were seen. As a reminder, Aditya keep themselves away from public attention. But recent years have shown that both the Rani and Aditya are visible simultaneously. In fact, Aditya and Rani in Mumbai's Bandra area were at a birthday party to attend. Black T-shirt and jacket in the photo wearing Aditya showed the Rani could be seen in the red dress. Aditya tries to hide this by looking at the camera, not the media. There was no pose. Aditya looked quite serious. The usually silent during the Rani appeared chirping. Rani Mukherjee's daughter's birthday recently Adira also became his first photograph.

Do you think BJP will win in UP elections after a poll survey gave it a clear win?

‘May be’ BJP can win coming UP elections. I am saying ‘may be’ because it has chance but it won’t be easy. Also, it depends on lot of factor at run time. I wish BJP to win this election. However, as a ‘realist evaluator’ I find this is hard to happen. In this answer I am trying to analyze this based on facts and data only without mixing too much of my wish/opinions. Please consider below two tables. They speak a lot. 1) No Wave: Except 2014 Loksabha elections, BJP performed poorly in all elections recently (few years) in UP. 2014’s outstanding win in UP (72/80 seats win) was result of Modi wave. This Modi wave was created by Modi’s own popularity, his claimed good work in Gujarat, BJP’s organized efforts, Congress government’s bad governance, policy paralysis, scams, blasts, inflation etc. There is no such reason in UP elections now. 2) No Scams: Akhilesh government did not involve so far in any scams unlike UPA government during 2004-2014. His own popularity (not party’s)...
