Where in the Constitution does it say they can bring it for anything other than "Treason, Bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors"? I'll wait |

It doesn't because "Treason, Bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors" covers everything Its intentionally vague Sometimes we live no particular way but our own - Grateful Dead "Eyes of the World" |

most corrupt president in history? Is there any basis for that? Other than having philosophical differences. |

We can start with his IRS stonewalled groups opposed to him. Can add in his spying of the Trump campaign and undermining him after elected. His vp getting his son a corrupt job in Ukraine. Coming up in Chicago politics clean is like walking thru a pig pen and expecting to stay clean. The President is a fink. |

No worries, terp. Still got it bookmarked from the last time this was challenged. I'll go on and bold things to save some time...
Interested in how a professional debater can take the above and spin a defense. I eagerly await a reply. Be bold and risk defeat, or be cautious and encourage it. |

What you quoted seems to be the opinion of John Roland. I am not going to debate what he said and I am not going to look for other knowledgeable professionals, who I have little doubt, are not in complete agreement with everything he has stated. For now, I will assume everything he said is correct. By Roland's standards, I would bet that every single president we have ever had has committed impeachable offenses. Why have they not been impeached? By Roland's standards, Bill Clinton, committed impeachable offenses , such as obstruction of justice and perjury. Why was he not removed from office? Is Roland wrong in his article?? Roland said that the president during the Waco massacre, committed an impeachable offense. Why wasn't Bill Clinton impeached for this?? Shouldn't President Odumdun have been impeached for "Fast and Furious" ? I could go on and on and on with examples which would meet Roland's standards of "impeachable offenses". Let's go Brandon |

Then I suppose there are real men on the “taxes are theft” side who won’t pay them. Then there are those who are just all talk. You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |

Clinton's a bit tough for me. I was 12; my whole political knowledge was "he got a blowie teeheehee" and not one thing further lol. But as an adult, I can only say "I have no idea". You bring up a few really good points and we both know there's innumerable more that we're not aware of. Why do we accept these as SOP these days? I'm too ignorant on every detail of Waco to comment, but yes, Clinton should have been impeached AND removed from office during Lewinski. I too champion the idea of "manliness" and "being Alpha", and his idiot defense and general manufactured ignorance is neither. He committed one of the most obvious known offenses that every single person learns when they get their first job - you cannot engage with subordinates. He did. That's an issue, though perhaps not impeachable (in my own opinion). It was the sleazy, disgenuine fakery he engaged in to cover it up that tells me "No, this person is not fit.", because that's not what a "man" does. A man does not argue about minutia, or the meaning of two letter words. A man admits mistakes and rectifies them, he doesn't waste the nation's time and his own integrity with bulls#$% pedantry. Eff the sleaze and the slime, you are in the highest office in the world, and you are not worthy. Be gone. Fast and furious? Jesus Christ. I don't even know where to start on this stuff, because just like you I could go on and on. Pumping a f#$%ton of automatic weapons to drug cartels, while at the same time demonizing 10rd plinkers at home... I don't get it. Bush bombed weddings of civilians. Raped us with the Patriot act. Faked an entire 20+yr long and counting war. Why not impeached? I wish I could tell you. Obama gave guns to tyrants. He did not protect us by ditching the Patriot act as he should have. And while I am not aware of specifics, I guarantee there's a bunch of brown folks half a world away that are now dead because of him. Why not impeached? Reagan? Iran-Contra? Nicaragua? I wish I had answers, flea. Why does Congress follow the will of the people in only 30% of the cases? Why are pols allowed to lie openly on TV with no recourse? Why are promises not kept forgotten and forgiven? Why are we still in a 20yr war when it's not been Congress approved? Why are we working at the behest and under the control of OUR EMPLOYEES? I have no idea, flea, but I'm done with it. Be bold and risk defeat, or be cautious and encourage it. |

I cannot understand what you are trying to say. If you do not pay taxes, men with guns take you to Lewisburg. Not paying not an option. The President is a fink. |
