Trump to be impeached

Trump to be Impeached It was just announced that Pelosi plans to go forward with an impeachment trial against Trump.

Wonder how this will turn out.

The Dems are damned if they do and damned if they don't. Hopefully, it won't sway votes in his direction. I can't imagine why it would. I know that Clinton's approval rating went up when he was being impeached, but I think that was mostly because he was impeached for lying about getting a blow job, not being traitor to the country and sh!tting all over the Constitution.

Full disclosure? Somehow I don't feel they will surrender the tapes 73 all over again.

He lied under oath, in a sexual harassment trial, about his inappropriate sexual behavior. This was very clearly worthy of impeachment (and removal). Trump's actions are, and have been, much worse, but please don't downplay how serious Clinton's actions were.

Lying about a blow Job under oath is obviously impeachable, but Jesus don't even bother try comparing to using other countries to impact our elections so our current president can remain President and avoid the rule of law that he knows is coming for him. They are not remotely the same, Trump is a threat to our national security and every one of our lives. Bill Clinton is just a creep.

Of course it's not as bad, and I can't imagine where you conjured up the idea that I'd believe such a thing based on what I wrote.

What I'm saying is that Clinton's perjury was a serious matter. If you believe the women who saythey were victims of Clinton's actions, then Clinton's choice to deny them justice by lying under oath can't be viewed any other way. Dismissing the whole thing by summarizing it as "lying about blowjobs" implies that you don't take it as seriously as you should."

Well, clearly, I don't take it as seriously as YOU do. Sorry, he lied (yes, under oath) about a blow job. And, no, IMO, it didn't rise to the level of being an impeachable offense. It wasn't right, but it didn't jeopardize the country and put our national security at risk.

Disagree. The impeachment will likely happen cause the House has a Democratic majority and no reason to minimize his acts or protect him. A conviction in the Senate which is what would actually trigger removal from office is what's unlikely given the clear mission of Senate R's to run cover for him no matter how heinous his actions. To the people who are Trump diehards, it won't likely make a difference in the election. There's no risk of it revving them up even more cause they're already revved up to a 20 on a 1-10 scale. Watching any of his rallies tells you that. To the swing voters who voted for him the last time cause they felt left behind by the D's, at a time when the economy is slowing, tariffs and the trade war with China are crushing farmers and causing Midwest factories to have layoffs, that combined with an ability to lay out for all to see all the horrible stuff this guy has done to serve himself at the expense of the country might just be enough to swing them back to a D victory. In any event, Trump's become so emboldened by the belief that he can literally do anything and no one can stop him and his willingness to laugh at the law and his oath of office, even Pelosi saw that it just can't be ignored anymore. This had to be done.

Impeachment doesn't necessarily mean removal from office. And if he WERE to be removed, I think that will practically solidify a PENCE re-election - and he is a very similar ilk to Trump - he just knows how to 'play the part'.



You dress up a pig, it's still a pig.

Trump won't be removed (do you know how long that would take?) , and I honestly hope this does not backfire on Dems and he gets reelected. What a nightmare.

I'm anxious to hear from the whistle blower.

I don't even listen to Trump anymore on the news. I turn to the weather or Hallmark channel when ever he comes on or is the topic for that matter. His words mean nothing. He might as well be reciting nursery rhymes.

NYT reporting that the whistle blower is a C.I.A. officer who was detailed to the White House. This is about to get really messy!!!

Pence, Pompeo, AG Barr...they're all conflicted out. Trump has thrown them under the bus in his typical fashion and basically said, "if I go down, all you mutha... are going down with me". I'm heartened by the revelation that at least 12 people were on the Ukrainegate call. Out of that lot, at least 2 are going to betray Trump when faced with a subpoena.

I also agree with former Senator Claire McCaskill's suggestion earlier today that the House will deliver articles of impeachment by Thanksgiving. Trump has finally outsmarted himself. I really wish the Dems could get some actionable dirt on McConnell's wife Elaine and force him to do a damn deal along the lines of "your wife's freedom & reputation in exchange for a Senate trial of Trump". That's how the GOP would play it were the shoe on the other foot. Otherwise, the voters alone get to decide Trump's fate which is not reassuring.
