You will have to refresh my memory, JLM because the only impeachment I vividly remember was that of Tricky Dick - the dork. They tried or planned to impeach Clinton for his amorous affair but he somehow weaseled out of it.
Um. . . no. Nixon was never impeached. He resigned before the bill of impeachment was voted in the House of Representatives.

Clinton was impeached, but was not removed by the Senate, for the same reason Donny Dodger won't be. Party loyalty.

Not to mention the fact that "Donny Dodger" didn't get convicted of any crime! :)

I think the Asshole might be right about this Mowich! (He just can't resist the temptation to be an Asshole)

Of course I'm right. I'm always right.

That's because, unlike you, I don't speak about things I don't know about.

If you could f**king read you would have noted that Mowich stated "within her lifetime", but NO you had to act like a f**king idiot toward her...…………….as usual!
Nixon and Clinton were presidents during Mowich's lifetime. Ses my previous post

As Trump moves to derail investigation, Democrats see obstruction



Obstruction of Congress is all but certain to be introduced as an article of impeachment, just as it was five decades ago when the House Judiciary Committee voted for articles of impeachment against then-president Richard Nixon.

source: WAPO


His Obstructive conduct is obvious.

Christian Leaders Lay Hands on and Pray for Donald Trump Ahead of Impeachment Vote

President Donald Trump’s evangelical Christian supporters laid hands on and prayed for the president this week in the Roosevelt Room of the White House, just days before the House of Representatives voted to pass impeachment inquiry procedures.
Among those in attendance, hate group head Tony Perkins of the Family Research Council; Former GOP Congresswoman and failed presidential candidate Michelle Bachmann; Fox News contributor, and anti-Muslim, anti-Catholic, and Judaism Dallas megachurch pastor Robert Jeffress; Focus On The Family and Family Research Council founder Dr. James Dobson; American Values President Gary Bauer; Prosperity Gospel pastor Paula White Cain; and others.
The Christian Post reports Dr. Jeffress “told CBN News that the main purpose of the Roosevelt Room gathering was for Trump to inform the religious leaders of ‘the continuing, remarkable accomplishments of this administration — especially in areas that are important to evangelicals.'”

White House official who heard Trump��s call with Ukraine leader testified that he was told to keep quiet


Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman testified that he received the directive from John Eisenberg, the top legal adviser for the National Security Council, after White House lawyers learned that a CIA employee had anonymously raised concerns about the Trump phone call, according to three people familiar with Vindman's testimony. The directive adds to an expanding list of moves by senior White House officials to contain possible evidence of Trump��s attempt to pressure Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to provide information that could be damaging to former vice president Joe Biden.

Nancy Pelosi just identified the biggest risk for Democrats on impeachment

While Democratic elected leaders were heartened by that change, it should also serve as a warning sign as to the fickleness of the public on the issue. In a CNN poll conducted late last month, 50% said Trump should be impeached and removed from office while 43% said he should not. While that represents a real change from a few months ago, it's not as though impeachment is favored by a wide swath of the public. Lose even a little momentum in the eyes of the public, and you'll soon see data that shows more people prefer keeping Trump in office.
And the surest way to lose that momentum in public perception is to allow the investigation to become an all-encompassing grievance vehicle for Democrats against Trump.
All the proof you need of how these sorts of investigations can explode in a million directions -- and to the detriment of the investigators -- is Ken Starr and the Starr Report in the mid-to-late 1990s. Starr was initially appointed independent counsel to continue the investigation of the Clintons' real estate dealings in Arkansas, known collectively as Whitewater.
By the time Starr was done, he had looked into, among other things, rumors of foul play in the death of Vince Foster and Bill Clinton's affair with a White House intern. House Republicans' decision to impeach Clinton over his relationship with a White House intern grew out of Starr's investigation, and led to massive defeats at the ballot box in 1998 as Democrats rallied around Clinton -- and against Starr who was effectively portrayed as an out-of-control partisan looking to bring down the former President any way he could.
Sound familiar? Trump is already casting the House investigation as a "witch hunt" driven by Democrats who can't beat him at the polls and so are trying to end-run the electorate by impeaching him. Given that, the burden on Democrats to KISS (Keep it Simple, Stupid) when it comes to a) what is being alleged b) what is being investigated and c) eventually, why is Trump being impeached is massive.
What these hearings can't be, Pelosi knows, is a grab-bag of grievance -- Russia! Ukraine! Nepotism! Giuliani! -- from her caucus. Which, as Pelosi knows, loathes Trump and wants him removed from office like yesterday.
The further Democrats get from this basic fact set -- Trump called the Ukrainian President, reminded him that the US does a lot for Ukraine and then asked for him to investigate the Bidens -- the more they risk losing public support for their impeachment efforts...………..More

And 60 odd percent of Americans , including 80 - 90 percent of Black and Latino voters will not support an openly gay candidate.

The United States is splitting into two, again. On the one side, there are the heavily armed Hillbillies with their sub-normal intelligence and the other are the well educated, bright ones that don't build armouries in their basements.
I wonder who is going to win the Second Civil War? Will the U.S. end up being ruled by morons like pigs or by scholars and men, women of law?

Conservative.

Really. Think about what that used to mean. Nixon (his personal flaws aside). Reagan. Ford. GHW Bush.

The scale has shifted so far that what was center-right back then is now left. And far-right is just insane.

Mayor Pete is a conservative, in the very best sense of the word.

Go figure.

You know there is an interesting sort of Bolshevism behind a political movement built of proletarian MAGA hats who believe that control of the Republic is reverting back to the working people.
