    Obviously you've strayed from the good and joined the dark side.

      For the purpose of impeachment and removal from office, the Constitution explicitly says that the president must be guilty of an actual crime. A vague charge like "abuse of power" doesn't cut it.
      Trumps crimes are detailed under the heading "abuse of power." But again, an actual codified crime isn't necessary only a breach of the public trust is necessary and that is left to Congress to decide.

        What's even more amazing is that they MOCK the very members of their own party who are warning them of the error of their ways!

        Some of their more experienced operators are yelling "there's a cliff up ahead" and they yell back "shut up, you old fool --- full speed ahead!!!"
        The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

          Are you alluding to the "never trumpers?"

            It does not surprise me in the least that you missed the context, and spoke, instead, from the bubble.

              And Congress determined that the President was not guilty.

                Thus why you can’t figure out why Clinton isn’t president. You’re a case study in brainwashing and bubble living.

                Of course we want to bring evil incarnate to its knees, but evil incarnate are your words not mine, it's really the GOP that's evil incarnate, it's members are just unprincipled political hacks looking out for themselves.
                Yet, it’s not the GOP that’s currently ignoring the wishes of half the population in Virginia, it wasn’t the GOP that brought down the law on a baker for not baking a cake, nor is it the GOP that wants to raise my taxes to pay for people to get worthless degrees. This is why Hillary lost and will likely be why the Democrats will lose again.

                There should be a national day off for voting so people can vote at their liesure and not stand in mile long lines, if they can even get their on time after working all day.
                Millions of people are smart enough to make the time to vote or to get absentee ballets to vote with. Your democrat masters are lying to you and you swallow it like the fool you are.

                  Hardly, Trump’s policies would be Democrat policies, in the JFK era.

                    It’s pretty funny. Trump would be a Democrat, in policies and politics, not too long ago.

                      Not only did the unprincipled republican majority determine that Trump was not guilty, they determined as well that he can do whatever he wants and withhold the evidence. So much for 3 equal branches and oversight of a tyranical executive. You wanted a dictator, and you are now well on your way to getting one.

                        Did congress go the the courts or did they claim there was no time, to only sit on the articles for a month?

                          They went to the courts and realized that the Trump strategy of fighting each and every subpoena would take years.

                              The president is a wannabe dictator, he is obliged to turn over evidence sought by the congress. His refusal to do so, and his abuse of the courts, was a legal tactic which he has been using his entire life. He exposed a weakness in the Constitutions Impeachment clause like any good dictator would do, and now congress should close that loophole to prevent such abuse in the future.

                                No, he isn’t, keep telling yourself that lie because Obama stonewalled Congress too. I wait for you to condemn the Obama administration for doing that...
