The Pelosi Stillborn Impeachment
Dov Fischer
FTA:
She petulantly said that, no matter what, no matter her defeat and trampling, she had won one small cardiac victory for her hateful heart: at least President Trump is “impeached for life.”
In paraphrase: “There, Donald, take that and stuff it: History will record that, no matter how badly I have been defeated and humiliated in the twilight of my own miserable journey, at least I have tarnished you forever. You will be remembered alongside Andrew Johnson, Richard Nixon (who escaped impeachment by jumping first), and Bill Clinton as one of only four presidents impeached among our first 45. In your orange face!”
Fascinating. Pelosi really is that small. That petulant. That hateful. At least he is “impeached for life.”
...
But the real legacy that Pelosi’s Stillborn Impeachment has laid out for Donald Trump is something else. Never in all of American history has the American electorate voted back into office a president who had been impeached. With many indicators suggesting that Trump stands a very decent prospect of being reelected this November, he would become the only American president in history whose popularity was so great that the American people rose up in defiance of their own elected House representatives to send him back to the White House after impeachment. Now that is a historic achievement. No one will remember why he was impeached, only that the American people rose up in revolt and presented themselves as The Resistance to a Swamp of Democrats and reelected their chosen leader barely half a year after his impeachment.

Dov has a problem with revisionist history that comes out screaming “bias confirmation”.
Johnson did not run for re-election. He lost the party nomination.
Nixon, as noted was not impeached.
Clinton was a lame duck at the time of his impeachment and ineligible to run.

“But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.”
