of the whole idea of impeachment.
As it stands on the books now, for all of history, impeachment is a pathetic joke - a Sore Loserman travesty built on lies about a blow-job with a consenting adult.
And that’s how impeachment will stand, thus minimized and even semi-neutered, as long as it isn’t rehabilitated. Impeachment should be used as a legitimate tool for redress of seriously and legitimately heinous violations by the executive. High crimes and misdemeanors. IT’S GOT TO MEAN SOMETHING. Something beyond a mere poor-sportsmanship resentment response.
And again, trump claiming the Democrats want only to overturn the election results they don’t like is nothing more than the usual projection strategy. That’s what the CONS actually DID because they’ll be forever resentful that Bill Clinton had the audacity to deprive their “king” his royal entitlement (a second term as President). So now trump is trying to project that onto us Dems as applied to himself. They spent three quarters of his two terms trying to overturn the results of his election, and failed miserably. And the majority of the American public knew it.
Well, there’s one BIG difference, aside from the obvious comparisons of a stupid sexual peccadillo with an epic cavalcade of crimes, perjuries, betrayals, theft, gross flagrant multiple obstructions of justice, witness tampering and outright TREASON - AND MORE. Bill Clinton didn’t have to cheat to win, with help from a Hostile Foreign Power, the way trump did. Bill Clinton won the White House legitimately both times.
Say what you will about Bill Clinton. At least he never had to CHEAT to win.
