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.

There was no collusion with Russia. There is no racism. Hardly worth commenting on the never-ending media lies.

Congress’s approval rating has been in the crapper for a long, long time. Congress has denigrated itself, not Trump.

So I guess being offensive is a high crime and misdemeanor.

Who would have believed where we now are.

“Touching His” Peter Irons should worry more about Sudden Hemp Obstructive Pulmonary Disease [SHOPD], instead of impeaching President Trump.

The Radical Republicans of that time we’re highly corrupt anti constitutional tyrants. The attempt to Impeach Johnson for simply disagreeing with them was a travesty which fortunately failed.

Since Trump hasn’t prosecuted them, they’re going to prosecute him.
