Pelosi, during an interview with CBS’s “Face the Nation” that aired Sunday, discussed the House’s ongoing impeachment inquiry that focuses on Trump’s efforts to get Ukraine to investigate political rival Joe Biden.

No comparison.

2. Even if DFT resigns, he must be tried and convicted

He is a traitor to our great country, and we must have a permanent record of this.

3. agree with what she says

don't think he'll resign tho... he's too much a narcissist and is his own biggest fan
he wouldn't listen to political members of his own party that if were telling him he's done... he's the smartest, remember?
what was his political history again? 🤔
oh yeah, nuthin ...

4. IT has been a stain on the USA

since his ugly, fat ass (I'm no longer pretty and have had a weight problem in the past.) won the Republican nomination. Let's put the blame where it belongs, his enablers.

Prove it, Don. Let’s see how you can do it.

8. Yeah, but we didn't learn about that until many years later.

Watergate itself was a lesser crime than what Trump has done. Trump, in fact has committed a series of far worse crimes. Caging babies is the worst of Trump's crimes, in my opinion.
