Trump Becomes 3rd President to Be Impeached, Vote Details Follow
Trump War Room ^

Posted on 12/18/2019 5:41:19 PM PST by Pollard

Democrats in the U.S. House of Representatives have officially impeached the 45th President of the United States, Donald J. Trump, over an interpretation of a 30-minute phone call between Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. The vote in the House took place after around 10 hours of debate on the floor, after a near-three month process, and just one day shy of the 21-year anniversary of the impeachment of President Bill Clinton – another of only three Presidents ever impeached.

The two articles of impeachment passed as follows (numbers will update as results come in):

Article 1: Abuse of Power: 230 YEA vs 197 NAY vs 1 PRESENT

Two Democrats voted ‘NAY’ on Abuse of Power while one – believed to be Presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard – simply voted “Present” – a form of abstention.

Article 2: Obstruction of Congress: [Awaiting Result]

[Awaiting Result] Democrats voted ‘No’ on Obstruction of Congress.

Great movie

This impeachment is a farce. It will always have an asterisk beside it then it was just a policy disagreement by the Revolutionary Socialist Party of America. Meaningless

And when he kicks this in the teeth, he will emerge even stronger afterwards.

The progs have now stepped into the light with two meaningless “Articles,” no crime, no actual evidence and they are stuck.

If NP withholds the articles they will be a laughingstock.

If she delivers the articles the progs will be obliterated by the process that follows.

My brother lives in New York city a few blocks from Times square. He says all the lefto wackos are having a parade there celebrating. I told him he should let them know Trump isn’t going anywhere. OOPS!

At least CBS knew better than to preempt “Survivor!”

Justin Amash...the former GOPer now Independent. IIRC, Trump’s rally tonight is in his district. Amash is politically toast.

I predict EVERY SINGLE POTUS with a House of the opposite party will impeached from now until the USA’s end.

Tit for tat will rule the day from now on.

One Republican voted For the “Abuse of Power” according to the news but the person wasn’t named!

No Republican voted for either article of impeachment.

Tell me about it. All we get is talks and dates and the dates come and go and nothing is done. No arrests, nothing.

America utterly loves the underdog, and the come-from-behind winner. The effect of this will only be to strengthen him. Imagine the speeches he gives after he defeats this impeachment.

The up side.

The lefty controlled Dem party has branded itself as the party of dirty name.

The down side:

Check the upcoming spending bill, 1.2 Trillion dollars, which has been ignored because of impeachment, and is expected to pass this week sometime before Xmas recess.

1) Finances a quick path to US citizenship specifically for Liberians

2) 25 million for gun violence research to reduce 2nd amendment rights.

3) 4 billion for the failing war in Afghanistan, where the weapons purchased for deserting Afghanistan government forces will end up in the hands of the Taliban, and will be used to kill American soldiers. we are paying to kill ourselves.

Almost amazing. 230 Members of Congress who swore an oath to the Constitution commit (at least) sedition.

Lord, I pray that you remove from politics every member that voted for this sham impeachment and remove them quickly. Reveal the corruption.

Akin to “double secret probation” in Animal House.

F the Demons in that party. Some should be hanging by lampposts before they get home tonight.

This is an historic stain on the Congress. An impeachment over nothing.

Schiff needs to be sent to ‘Gitmo for investigation.

If they could sent Nunes to House ethics H377, I am VERY unclear on why Schiff is not there now.

President Trump needs to wear this as a badge of honor.

He must say that he is the first President to be impeached not for what he did, but because the Democrats are afraid of what he's going to do in the future to make America great again.

President Trump should declare that he was impeached only because he was a threat to the future of the Democrat agenda, and he's going to take that as a sign that he's on the right track.
