Here's why "We Shouldn't Impeach Because Trump won't be Removed by the Senate" isn't even an excuse [View all]
The US Senate has NEVER removed a president that has been impeached. NEVER. NOT ONCE.
They have had two opportunities, once with Andrew Johnson, and once with Bill Clinton. Johnson was a racist clown, and Clinton's impeachment looks more ridiculous every year. So, we already know that the Senate is inclined to keep racist clowns around.
Impeachment really has nothing to do with removal from office. The fact that the threat of impeachment caused another scoundrel to step down before it happened is a historical outlier. We already know that Trump has no shame and wouldn't step down in similar circumstances. So, impeachment (without removal) is the thing we are after - especially highly publicized hearings and discovery during the investigation which are the things that truly hurt Nixon.
Can't we, for once, really hurt Donald Trump? Can't someone, somewhere, in this entire country grab this moronic, traitorous fascist by the neck and give him a good shake (metaphorically, of course). Just once?
"He won't be removed" is a certainty. That has NEVER happened, and is obviously not what the act of impeachment is about.
