I agree. Impeachment is tossed around like it happens all the time... Hillary forgot in her recent commencement speech that Nixon was not impeached; he resigned before that happened. Only two Presidents have been impeached. She shares cigars with one of them. Neither was convicted. Anyway, I stand by. what I said...unless they are truly bogus charges...real criminal acts? Impeach, prosecute, whatever... |

Johnson was a Democrat facing a Repub house. Nixon was facing a Dem house. Clinton was impeached by a Repub house. Never in history has a House with it's own man in office been stupid enough to even talk about it, let alone do it. When Johnson faced the Senate, it was Repub senators that saved him, not his own party. They didn't think the crimes he was accused of were real crimes and they let him stay in office. People don't realize the Senate part is a criminal trial, and the case must be proven that you're a criminal. This doesn't include the press screaming that you don't deserve to be in office, CNN doesn't get to testify. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

ams288 Member since: Apr 21, 2016 Threads: 29 Posts: 12372 | It seems like the righties here are WAY more obsessed with impeachment than the lefties. I don't think he's gonna get impeached. I don't WANT him to get impeached. If we've learned anything from his first 120ish days, it's that he's incompetent and can't get much accomplished without shooting himself in the foot. President Mike Pence would be much more focused on the important things. But I do want all these Russia stories to keep coming out week after week because they take the White House's focus away from, you know, actually accomplishing stuff.

I don't know. The Vice Presidency is famously known as "a pitcher of warm spit," and Pence is worth every last drop of it. Donald Trump is a one-term LOSER |

By "important things" I just mean governing in general... instead of live-tweeting Fox & Friends every morning. “A straight man will not go for kids.” - AZDuffman |

petroglyph Member since: Aug 3, 2014 Threads: 25 Posts: 6227 | Surely there must be something important they could do, instead of what it is that they do, do? The last official act of any government is to loot the treasury. GW |

Any article being published at this point saying "the Trump presidency is already in grave danger" because of the "scandals" is written by a partisan hack not worthy of reading. Of course the Russians tried to interfere with our election. The may have even favored Trump. That is a problem we will have forever and will have to continuously improve security to keep it from getting as far as interference in the ballot box and to minimizing the rest of it. Trump may have played into it with his comments and tweets, but there is nothing criminal there. Dumb? Maybe. Dumb does not make it criminal. Now we keep hearing about all this "back channel" stuff and it is evident to anyone actually paying attention that there is nothing criminal to be seen so far. Just a whole lot of allegations and not much evidence. IF something comes of it that is actually illegal--something real, not just someone getting caught in a minor league perjury trap by saying that he wore red on a day he really wore blue--then prosecute away. Sure, go after the perjury charge, too, it is a crime... We just don't have any of that so far. We'll see if anyone finds any actual evidence of anything... |
