Never.
We are not the people our founders wanted to inhabit this nation.
Article II, Section 4 of the Constitution says,
“The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States,
shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other High Crimes and Misdemeanors.”
[[the touchstone of presidential unfitness to serve was always abuse of the public trust]]
Remember when the NY Times got all upset because Obama lied about 27 times about when ObamaCare is passed you all get to keep you insurance and your doctor? Me neither.
Talk about abuse of the public trust!
If the left didn’t have double standards they’d have no standards at all.
See what happens to those who vote for it.
PDJT has endured nearly three years of being Red Flagged meaning facing charges based on hearsay.
Gun control is said to be dead in the current session because Trump must surely know by now what Red Flag accusees are going through: punish now, hearing later, maybe.
There's where we agree, Congress does, although if no statute whatever is broken it can't be a crime of any sort, high or low, no matter how hard you squint at it.
I remember when the New York Times was telling us that a Democrat president who committed ACTUAL crimes shouldn’t be kicked out of office...
They should skin that smokewagon, and see what happens...
Or have a universal remote (eg phone app) that will
do the trick
Congress defines what federal crime is, in all cases.
Including impeachment.
It would be a crime the instant the deciding vote was cast, whatever it may be. But the kicker is, there’s no legal recourse, no appeal to a higher court...nothing.
And farting in church would then be so classified.
But, the important thing is that it’s just an indictment. Not a conviction.
Never heard of this guy but interesting take on Impeachment and Pelosi’s “Not so fast” position.
LET THEM GO AHEAD AND IMPEACH TRUMP….
HERE’S WHAT HAPPENS THEN……
By: Hyram F. Suddfluffel, PhD, (Political Science)
I have a degree in Political Science, and I am a card-carrying Libertarian.
I’ve been studying politics and political history for the past 30 years. My specialty is U.S. Presidents. That said, I hope that the House of Representatives impeaches Trump. Let me tell you what will happen next!
1. The House can pass articles of impeachment over the objections of the Republicans, and refer to the Senate for trial.
2. The Senate will conduct a trial. There will be a vote, and the Republicans will vote unanimously, along with a small number of Democrats, to not convict the President. Legally, it will all be over at that point.
3. However, during the trial, and this is what no one is thinking about right now, the President’s attorneys will have the right to subpoena and question ANYONE THEY WANT.. That is different than the special counsel investigation, which was very one-sided. So, during the impeachment trial, we will be hearing testimony from James Comey, Peter Strzok, Lisa Page, Bruce Ohr, Glenn Simpson, Donna Brazille, Eric Holder, Loretta Lynch, Christopher Steele, Hillary Clinton, John Brennan, James Clapper, and a whole host of other participants in this whole sordid affair and the ensuing coverup activities. A lot of dirt will be dug up; a lot of truth will be unveiled. Finger pointing will occur. Deals will start being made, and suddenly, a lot of democrats will start being charged and going to prison. All this, because, remember, the President’s team will now, for the first time, have the RIGHT to question all of these people under oath - and they will turn on each other. That is already starting.
4. Lastly, one more thing will happen, the Senate will not convict the President. Nothing will happen to Trump. Most Americans are clueless about political processes, the law, and the Constitution. Most Americans believe that being impeached results in removal from office. They don’t understand that phase 2 is a trial in and by the Senate, where he has zero chance of conviction. Remember, the Senate is controlled by Republicans; they will determine what testimony is allowed — and **everything** will be allowed, including: DNC collusion with the Clinton campaign to fix the election in favor of Hillary, the creation of the Trump dossier, the cover up and destruction of emails that very likely included incriminating information.
They will incriminate each other for lying to the FISA court, for spying and wiretapping the Trump campaign, and for colluding with foreign political actors, especially George Soros. After the Senate declines to convict the President, we will have an election, and Trump will win. It will be a backlash against the petulance, temper tantrums, hypocrisy and dishonesty. Even minorities will vote for Trump, because, for the first time, they will see that democrats have spent 2+ years focused on maintaining their own power, and not doing anything at all about black murders in Chicago, homelessness, opioids, and other important issues that are actually killing people. And, we will spend the following four years listening to politicians and pundits claim that the whole impeachment was rigged.
So let’s move on to impeachment.

The statement I posted earlier by: Hyram F. Suddfluffel, PhD, (Political Science) is fake and I was not aware it had already been proven as a false person.
Agreed- the msm are scumbags- through and through
Maybe the loser kids of former elites at the New York Times should consider the possibility that THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES HAVE A RIGHT TO ELECT THEIR OWN LEADERS... AND TO GET RID OF THEM (BY VOTING THEM OUT OF OFFICE) IF THEY WANT TO...
