Yes.
Bill Clinton was impeached. The senate did not convict him.
Donald Trump was impeached. The senate did not convict him.


You may be right I just thought that for someone to be convicted it had to go to the senate. Similar to police work, you can be arrested but not convicted without a plea of jury.
At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a detrrent.

Bob, I was pointing your error. Trump can be impeached, without the senate,


I should have clarified that the
House impeachment is a
meaningless stupidity without
the Senate vote. I forgot how
hard it is for some of you to
keep up. You actually think
a stand alone House impeachment
means something.

That's true, for them to be convicted it has to go through the senate.

That is the penalty phase after being impeached by the house.

A president who was impeached by the House has never won re-election.

Just ask Donny.

Here's more delusion. We have to get
back to Obama's 'New Normal' economy
ASAP. Raise taxes, keep unemployment
high, make sure all the new minority
businesses that are flourishing, make
sure they all fail.

Throw billions we don't have at
other countries in the name of
'climate change'. Rejoin the
Paris Accord. Now that we're
totally owned by China, get
rid of all Trump China policies.

Start packing SCOTUS with two
new Dems this year and two more
next year. Get rid of free speech
(that's already happening). Give
billions we don't have in reparations.
Open the border to millions of
homeless refugees. Forgive all
student loans and make all but
private colleges free. This alone will
cause a recession we can't even
visualize because it will effect
the banks. 2008 on steroids.

Phase out fracking, get us back to
$5 a gallon gas. Keep the fake
pandemic going as long as possible
by inflating covid deaths thru the
roof. It's already killed NYC, so
many small businesses gone forever
it's a ghost town. Tourists will
stay away for years.

And much much more really cool
Libbie stuff. Won't effect me that
much, I own my house and make
most of my income from Indian
casinio's. They will never close
them, too much revenue for the
state.

I remember our righties making similar doom and gloom nonsense predictions when Obama got re-elected in 2012.

I didn't even mention they will be
coming after our guns big time
now. I always said China will
run the world one day, I never
thought it would happen in
my lifetime. It will happen at
lightening speed now, they
aren't even hiding it. Beijing
Joe and Commie Harris are
just foils for the takeover. A
new peoples paradise of equal
misery for all is about to unfold.

I have been following politics my whole life
Each sided has been grounded in some type of reality that we can all agree on
Not anymore as one side has delved into fantasy land thinking the virus is fake and Trump won in a landslide

I forgot to mention that
when DC and PC become
states, that will add two
more permanent Dems to
the Senate.

All of this has been planned
for a lonnnng time, Trump
winning just stopped it for
awhile. It started with the
dumbing down of America
by letting really stupid people
teach school. I've said before
how appalled and scary it is
to my daughter how uneducated
2/3 of her new college students
are every semester.. They don't
even know basic math and
most drop out of her class
in the first 10 days. Total failure
of the public school teaching
system.

I remember an article by PJ
O'Roark in the 80's about how
he dated nothing but girls in
teaching classes in the 70's
because they were dumb as rocks
and were easy lay's. The good
ol Teachers Union, communists
invented unions.
