I am sure that Impeached President Trump will be pleased that history will place him in the company of Wrongly Impeached* President Johnson rather than with constitutionally valid proceedings initiated against sure to be Impeached President Nixon, ought to have been Impeached President Obama and quite justifiably Impeached President Clinton.
So glad to see that you put Impeached President Trump in the same category as Impeached President Johnson, because they both have so much in common:
Both were the only two Presidents to be impeached in their first term, and both desired to run for President after being impeached.
Both were inarticulate and poorly educated, which was reflected in long rambling speeches that were the subject of ridicule.
Both were only popular among a limited base that was focused on depriving the rights of specific groups. In Johnson's case, he disregarded the dignity and human rights of post-Civil War slaves. In Trump's case, he disregarded the dignity and human rights of immigrant groups.
Both based their politics in large part on exploiting fear and divisions within American society.
Johnson is widely mentioned as one of America's worst Presidents. Trump is giving him a run for that title.

Thanks, Que, for focusing some attention on this important correlation between two impeached Presidents.
. . .and only one of them was impeached on a strictly partisan basis, only one of them was afforded due process, and only one of them had an impeachment where the opposition party cared more about the office, the constitution, and the country than "winning."
You partisan hacks are actually of the Schiff-show of an imoeachnent.
Let's hope that Republicans in the future are not foolish enough to go down the path laid out by someone as stupid as Schiff. Every president past and future could be impeached on the basis of the Schiff/Nadler definition of "obstruction of Congress" leaving aside that the entire concept of the co-equal executive branch being subject to unlimited discovery according to the whims of Congress.
This nonsense in the Ukraine is certainly not nearly as problematic as say walking guns into another sovereign country and lying about it.
Hell, Iran-Contra would have had a stronger footing.
Still impeached?![]()
That's a lot of words to indicate that you can't refute a single thing that I said.
History will not be at all kind to this impeachment effort. There's not a chance in hell it will be seen as some noble effort or even remotely valid.
As Nancy pointed out the entire point of the exercise was as the thread title indicates just so they could call him impeached president Trump. Any president could wear that label if any Congress was as openly partisan as this one is.
Now we move to the Senate where Chuck Schumer openly admits that acquittal is a foregone conclusion but he intends to win by tarnishing Republican Senators.
It's cute that you all seem to think that light weights like Schiff & Nadler aren't going to be decimated by actual sitting US senators. Many of whom had active an effective law careers before becoming Senators. They're going to look like the amateurs that they are.

Yes.
Despite absolutely everything they said, yes.
And legitimately so. Forever.![]()
Trump knows who Schiff is, and has shown us all the abject fear he has of Schiff.Somebody pointed out that Jeopardy put up Schiff's picture last night and none of the brainy contestants could Identify him. That in itself probably loosened more than one Democrats bowels in the House.![]()
Has Bill Clinton been unimpeached yet?So if an innocent person is indicted for a crime he didn't commit and is subsequently found not guilty, is he forever indicted?![]()

With Pelosi, Trump is a scared schoolboy. With Schiff, Trump is a terrified, incoherent puddle.
1. Yes. Are you really that stupid? LOL!
2. This is about the impeachment of a President. Apples and oranges.

This.
and he will likely end up in the same bag as Andrew Johnson. They deserve each other.
Thanks again for drawing attention this important comparison between two racist and highly divisive impeached Presidents.

One time, this member, Inter_Ned
Tried to post on the General Board instead.
He cried like a baby
And realized, maybe
He should go back to a Playground thread.
Is that how you refer to Slick Willie?

Which means nothing if acquitted. If acquitted it only means the "impeachment" was groundless.
