He attempted “to bring into disgrace, ridicule, hatred, contempt and reproach the Congress of the United States.” He delivered “with a loud voice, intemperate, inflammatory, and scandalous harangues, and has uttered loud threats and bitter menaces, against Congress [and] the laws of the United States, amid the cries, jeers and laughter of the multitudes.”
He has brought the “high office of the President of the United States into contempt, ridicule and disgrace.”
Sound like someone we all know? These charges certainly describe President Donald Trump’s deplorable behavior and its effects on Congress, the presidency, and — most importantly — the divisions he has exploited and widened among the American people, as well as the damage he has caused to America’s standing and role in the world community.
But they aren’t an imaginary list of offenses compiled by Congress to hold Trump accountable for his transgressions; they are actual excerpts from Article 10, the most important of the 11 impeachment articles brought by Congress against an earlier president: Andrew Johnson.

Trump, like Bill Clinton, has a great mental need to be liked by other people.
Trump, like Bill Clinton, is not a racist.
The attacks on Trump are racist. They are designed to enhance the turnout of “persons of color” at the next election.
The retread racism card is down to its last microns. Blowout coming very soon.
One of JFK’s Profiles in Courage (in the famous book ghostwritten for him) was a Republican senator who voted to acquit Andrew Johnson in his impeachment trial.
Damn the facts.
Perception is everything.
Paul Joseph Goebbels was a German Nazi politician and Reich Minister of Propaganda of Nazi Germany from 1933 to 1945. He was one of Adolf Hitler’s closest and most devoted associates, and was known for his skills in public speaking and his deeply virulent antisemitism, which was evident in his publicly voiced views. He advocated progressively harsher discrimination, including the extermination of the Jews in the Holocaust.
He would have fit right in with the current American Democrat Socialists.
I always expect Democrats and their media machine to go lower.
I am never disappointed. Or surprised.
When the Kenyan Usurper arrived on the scene, their true madness was on full display. I first noticed it with Brian Williams and even before him, Tim Russert.
Nazi courts stepped outside the bounds of due process.
Soviet Purge courts stepped outside the bounds of due process.
Would you stop one’s political philosophy is not the same as being part of the party.
Andrew Johnson and Abe Lincoln were not Democrats and Republicans they were members of The National Union Party also stop this R”epublicans” have been the best since the coming of the Messiah b.s. its getting old.
The media ARE the Democrats.
This is the PR office for the DNC.
Telling the sheeple what to believe.
Frankly, it’s scary that so many idiots believe in them.
My advice would be tighten your belts good and tight and get ready for the ride of your life, it may be a barn burner. Or it mat not be anything. They may see that things are not to their liking[they do not have an overwhelming advantage] and slighter back into their holes until a better time. While,in my opinion, they are killers and murders, they lack the courage to when things are equal. It could go either way. Prepare for the worse and hope for the best.
They weren’t speaking of Obama?
Especially Tlaib. She is as caucasian as Elizabeth Warren.
I’m aware of that but in 1864, he wasn’t both him and Lincoln were members of the National Union Party the Republicans didn’t think Lincoln could win in 1864, they tired too screw him over with the nomination so him and other staunch Union loyalists formed the National Union Party.
And like Wardaddy has said FReepers have got stop this ridiculous comparing the current of the modern parties to that over 150 years ago its just goofy.
If the Democrats thought they had the votes they would Impeach. So this is just a new bone for the true believers to chew on. A lot of effort with little meat.
Hey - everything I’ve read and looked up for you says he was a Dem. Squawk all you want. Doesn’t change the fact that Johnson was a dem.
Bullshit you put up a very weak ass link from the Whitehouse.gov as your main primary source that didn’t amount to Jack.
Piss and moan all you want too but him and ole Abe Lincoln, were part of the National Party Union that was made up staunch Union Loyalist who wanted too persevere the Union at all the costs.
Wonder where they dug this guy, Peter Irons, up. The guy is almost 80 years old. His career as civil rights lawyer apparently ended in the 1980 because he hasn’t been hear from since then.
Wouldn’t be surprised if he’s suffering from Parkinson’s Disease. A total hit job.
Many Puerto Ricans are also of French, German or even English descent, since groups of the aforementioned nationalities established themselves there in the 19th century. There are also many of Portuguese descent. AOC looks Portuguese to me, more than Spanish, although her surname is Spanish. But one thing she’s certainly not is African or a “Person of Color,” as we call this new political race.
But she’d say she was a giraffe if it was politically useful to her. Come to think of it, look at those teeth...
Ah, another bit of history on Irons. He got his degree from Boston University! Bwahahaha.
You do realize Dumbass that the Union Army were made up of a ton democrats who helped maintain the Union Major Generals Whitfield Scott Hancock and Major General George Meade, the heroes of Gettysburg just too name a few
Well, go look it up yourself then. Not gonna do your homework for you.
