The Trump Bar: "Does this exceed the actions of what Trump did? If it doesn't then we're not even going to begin impeachment proceedings. No. Hard pass. Non-starter. Next."We're sure we've got high crimes and misdemeanors to peg Trump with.
Impeachment may not happen.
But a Democrat will be President again some day and the bar will probably be lowered, it won't be about high crimes and misdemeanors, it will be, as Lindsey Graham said, to "cleanse the office".
Let's get something positive out of this administration for once, a "Trump Bar", so that impeachment won't be hanging over a Democratic President's head.

Some states at this time are trying to make presenting your tax info a strict requirement, great first step but it needs to be on a national basis.
Fix the requirements for running and it may put the impeachment problem on the shelf for a while.

(2,785 posts)which is another reason Trump should be impeached. Republicans will lower the bar for impeachment next time a Democrat is President and any agreement we could come to with them concerning impeachment is not one they would hold to.

(23,059 posts)If Dem were president, the repugs highest efforts would be to impeach him, as they tried to set up with Sec. Clinton only failed because it was a total lie to being with. Doesn't matter about the laws, they have shown deep disrespect for all laws and the constitution because it's all about stealing all of our $$ for the oligarchs and turning us into ignorant serfs who die young if we get sick with the women existing as baby factories with no choice about anything allowed.
