Conversation with my 18 year old daughter last night:
D: Dad, did you hear they just impeached Trump!!!?
Me: Yeah, they impeached him in the House of Representatives, but he's not out yet. It's got to go through the Senate, and they'll never impeach him.
D: No, really, they just impeached him. I saw it on facebook.
Me: I know that. I watched the vote. That doesn't mean he's out of office though.
D: Why would they say that he was impeached then?
Me: Because he was, but it's only a half victory for them. The media is trying to fool you and manipulate you by only giving you half the information in the headline so that you'll click on the article. Since you don't do that, you don't know what is going on.
I then proceed to tell her that it's all a farce and based solely on politics and hearsay.
Eventually she just said she doesn't want to talk about it anymore and that she won't ever vote for Trump. Because.....Trump.
God help us. We're in the hands of young people who get there information and education on how government works from social media.

Look on the bright side -- maybe her frustration will impel her to do some additional reading and studying about government and politics. Disappointment and frustration make great teachers.
I keep seeing this urban legend/conspiracy theory floating around that “if Trump is impeached in the house & not senate, he can run 2 more times. The U.S. Constitution states that if a president is impeached by the House but not convicted by the Senate, that person's first term is nullified and they are eligible to run for office two more times.”
Where are people getting this from? Why do they think this? If this were true, why didn’t slick willey take a third run?
I hope so. She actually looked genuinely disappointed. I told her she can vote for whoever she thinks will do the best job, but that she should actually listen to what they are saying and learn about what that means rather than just vote against the other guy all the time.
I doubt anything will come of it, but you never know.
Never heard that one. I have my doubts about it.Quote:

No one has any idea what would happen if Pelosi just sits on the Articles as it's never happened before. When Slick Willy was impeached the Articles were sent to the Senate 10 minutes after the vote.
Pelosi withholding articles of impeachment from Senate would be 'grave injustice'

I wonder if they're aware of how ridiculous this whole thing looks to the average voter?
But, but... I thought they had to push this through so fast because time is of the essence, and we are on the verge of an election of which he will cheat to win again, and we have to stop that at all costs, now, so we have to push these hearings through really fast. And once the vote is complete on the House floor, :tumbleweed:Quote:

The average mainstream social-media follower is not well versed in the mechanics of government and constitutional procedures, so there HAS to be literally millions of folks out there today, right now who are celebrating and just waiting for the official Trump-removal ceremony to be announced.
And when just the opposite happens and he's re-elected for another 4 years there's gotta be another flamboyant backlash. They've already taken to the streets dressed up like an anatomically correct vagina --- what's gonna top that?

You don’t pick the guy that is respectful and loyal to his girlfriend, is perfectly honest and treats everyone with dignity and respect, or because he has the same moral code as you to be on the battlefield with you. When you’re back at home, you choose the type of people you hang out with that way. Not when you are at war.
My prediction: Romney, Murkowski, Collins side with Schumer and a full rehearing takes places with new witnesses. To drag out and score more points, not to end in removal.
Right out of the dem playbook

Impeached Cody Penn-Dent @Codypd
Let's put this all in prayerful perspective:
Nancy Pelosi has a brown bag with poo in it.
She's refusing to light it on fire and put it on the Senate's doorstep unless Mitch McConnell promises to put the fire out by stomping on it instead of using a fire extinguisher.
Another one changes teams. Way to go, Nancy, purging your party one constituent and leader at a time.

Exactly correct. Sad thing is, it'll still come down to Romney. If he defects and sides with Schumer on the floor rules for the trial, Murkowski will go along and possibly Collins of Maine. Giving Dems control of the trial itself.Quote:

So I could never figure out how the Demo-Rats planned to actually land this impeachment airplane... but it appears they are just going to sit on the Articles of Impeachment and not send them to the Senate... Their talking point will be "We made our point"...
That's a new one...

This, to me, is a complete mockery of the Constitution. :angryfire:Quote:
