OUT OUT DAMNED SPOT! Trump says Congress should "expunge" his impeachment.

https://www.rawstory.com/2020/02/trump-says-congress-should-expunge-his-impeachment/

President Donald Trump called Friday on Congress to “expunge” his impeachment for abuse of power following his acquittal in the Senate.

“Should they expunge impeachment in the House? They should because it was a hoax,” he told reporters at the White House.


Sorry Trump, that stain is not coming out.

He should stick to the vocabulary he understands, like "boobs" and "money" and "boobs with money", which is what he calls people gullible enough to stay in his tacky hotels.

17. The senate "trial" was a farce...
Fri Feb 7, 2020, 04:59 PM
Feb 2020

and those sycophant Republicans who voted to acquit him without a real trial (you know, the kind with witnesses and evidence stuff) are spineless traitors to the oath they took in service to this country, most if not all, whom did so on a Bible.

Suppressed evidence + Suppressed witnesses = FAKE trial = FAKE acquittal

And to Cult45 lurkers... "acquittal" does NOT mean the same as "not guilty". He's still as guilty as heck. Republicans knew the evidence and testimony would prove Trump's guilt but they're so pathetic and spineless (except apparently Romney) that they colluded with the White House to suppress evidence and witnesses. The fact is that if he were truly innocent you know damn well that Trump, his lawyers and the Republicans would have welcomed testimony and sworn in witnesses to prove that.

It's not a Hoax. WTF does he think "Hoax" even means, anyway?

I think he just likes the vowel sounds in the 1-syllable word. It's catchy, easy to remember, and dumb shits can understand it.

Machbeth: "... Will all great Neptune's ocean wash this blood
Clean from my hand? No, this my hand will rather
The multitudinous seas in incarnadine,
Making the green one red."

45 knows the historical gravity of his crimes. He will never be clean. The Congressional Record stands as America's historical record.

So this is just more incentive for us to keep the House and gain the Senate. If he does stay in office, we can cripple him with the Congress.

Once impeached, he is impeached forever.

The constitution is explicit. The House impeaches. The Senate holds the trial. There is no constitutional mechanism to "expunge" an impeachment. Once it happens, that's it under the constitution. There are no constitutional do-overs or expungements.
