Being "impeached" means virtually nothing.

It means you're being "indicted," and you'll stand trial in the Senate for the charges which you were "indicted" with.

And we all know the GOP controlled senate has made it clear they have no intentions of removing Trump. It really is a waste. I wouldnt be surprised if this turns out to be political suicide for the Democrats.

Are you serious?!?! Trump makes both parties look like paragons of honesty!

You don’t think they already did that with Obama? In the Democrats’ view, they did. So if Republicans do it too to the next Democratic President, we won’t see it as Republicans doing it in revenge for Trump or to teach us a lesson: Our takeaway will be, Republicans gonna Republican. Because Republicans did the same to Obama.


What's been leveled at Trump has far exceeded what Obama experienced. Bush got trashed too by the way.

I'm not talking about Republicans teaching Democrats a lesson. I am saying Democrats have considerably raised the level of attack a President gets.

And Clinton whom they actual impeached? We are so far down that path it’s the old normal.

Just like mass shootings are the new "normal". It's sad...

Everything Democrats accuse Trump of they are guilty of themselves.

Really? When have the Democrats sold out to Russia, or sought to destroy political rivals by using desperately needed foreign aid as leverage? If you know of such things, then please, state them.

I don't think he was reffering to fictional events.

And you yourself often say "and the Republicans don't?" regarding most any criticism towrds the Democrats. Which translates as the democrats are just as guilty as the republicans.

It's not a fictional event. There is talk of adding Trump's dalliances with Putin to the articles of impeachment. Whether Powell wants to accept it or not doesn't make it any less true.
At the moment, as Republicans are denying the mountain of evidence against Trump solely for the sake of party over country, they've gone far past anything the Dems have done in modern times. That's with the exception of Republicans like John Kassich, Steve Schmidt, and other conservatives with testicular fortitude to reject populist nationalism.

As you know there are plenty of people who aren't republicans or trump fans who think the whole russia/ukraine circus is a sham.

You watch CNN and MSNBC who lie about everything and have got everything wrong. Your input can be useful entertainment but isn't valid because it's coming from those clown world stations. And before you attack me or my sources, everything I said came true because the sources I use have called it right the whole way along. And Ezra is correct I'm not talking about fictional events and then making a judgement on those make believe fairy tales.

The biggest contributor to the Clinton Foundation was the Ukraine especially after the US led coup that removed an elected leader and put in place a US puppet. Then the Vice President and his son and stealing money from the country as well as John Kerry through his nephew. Biden used blackmail to have the prosecutor fired who was investigating his corrupt son who was earning a fortune for doing 2 conferences a year and NOT EVEN in the Ukraine. And before you parrot 'muh derp corrupt prosecutor' provide some evidence he was corrupt. It also seems the fake Steele Dossier came from Ukraine.

Not think, know! Progressive journalist Aaron Mate has torn it apart like he did with the Russiagate hoax. Poor Bill has just been trained to hate Trump so much by the Democrat stations that he can't think straight.

That may be, but it doesn't mean that we should tolerate such behavior from anyone.
