Just think, if Hillary had won she could be sitting at home watching the impeachment proceedings against President Tim Kaine.
Seriously though, do we really think the GOP House would not have immediately started impeachment proceedings on the basis of "her emails?" And do we really think a GOP house wouldn't have passed them?
In 2017 the Senate was 52/48, Republican to Democrat. Could the GOP have gotten 15 votes to impeach Clinton? That's highly unlikely, but what if the GOP managed to stir up enough chaos that the 2018 elections swung heavily in their favor?
If 2018 was a big GOP year w/ anti-Clinton backlash they could have won close Senate races in AZ, MN, MT, NV, NJ, & WV. That would have gotten them to 58, only 9 short of what would be needed to convict in a Senate trial.

Many people in the generation that said, in 1969, "don't trust anyone over 30" seems oddly invested, in 2019, in the idea that people under 30 shouldn't be trusted.
I'm not trying to attack Boomers. I have many Boomers who are beloved friends and relatives. I'm just saying, try having a little historical self-awareness now and then, especially if you're a person with power and a platform.
"My generation had it right and this new generation is messed up" is what every single generation has said about the generation that follows them for centuries. It's a stupid script and we can choose not to follow it.

Today I learned that Bette Midler has never taken a minute to rest and check her phone while touring a museum. Either that, or she thinks a picture taken in one moment of time captures everything we need to know about the people whose image is being taken.
And also, apparently people of Bette Midler's generation, when they were young people, never once were bored or complained when their parents took them to an art museum. They always said "thank you so much for this culturally enriching experience! I can't get enough of it!"
Boomers do this sort of sh*t that drove them crazy when their parents did it to them...and then they wonder where that whole "ok boomer" meme came from.

Sounds like this dude needs to be subpoenaed.
Because the correct answer to that question was just a "no." Because he could not just unblinkingly say "no," there's clearly more to the story.
Mark Esper works for the American people, not the President. It was our taxpayer money that was being withheld. We have every right to know how it was being used.

Thread - Rep. Nunes Destroys Democrats in His Closing Statement

1. Uhhhh, what on Earth did the Democrats think they were going to accomplish by staging the tightly-controlled impeachment hearings this week?
2. Did they really think that the witnesses they carefully screened before the public hearings were going to move the impeachment needle in their direction?
3. Did they seriously believe that opinion, hearsay, conjecture, and third-hand “evidence” from these witnesses would lay the groundwork for articles of impeachment?

There is ALOT of arguing about the legal #Impeachment process, so I thought I would lay the steps out for you.

Regarding the #ImpeachTrump campaign,
I am not the right person to answer if the laws are being followed by The House against the impeachment of @POTUS
🔸2
The Constitution lays out two specific actions, treason and bribery, that could lead to impeachment and removal of a president from office.

Then there is a broader category to accuse a president of a crime, although that category is more vague.
High crimes and misdemeanors
🔸3
High crimes and misdemeanors and NOT defined in the Constitution.

▫First, an impeachment resolution must be introduced by a member of the House of Representatives.

THREAD — #IMPEACHMENT 101

OK, let's cut through the noise on impeachment.

First, let's state the obvious:

Donald Trump's entire presidency is an impeachable offense, an affront to basic human values, an insult to common sense and common decency, a threat to the rule of law.
#IMPEACHMENT 101

The #MuellerReport found multiple instances where Trump obstructed—or attempted to obstruct—justice.

He has violated the emoluments clause of the Constitution by using the office to enrich himself and his family.

He coddles dictators while alienating allies.
#IMPEACHMENT 101

Trump has repeatedly undermined the First Amendment (which he's sworn to defend) by inciting violence against the free press and calling them "enemies of the people."

His party has launched an unconstitutional assault on women’s reproductive rights and health.

A note on #impeachment -

In a court of law, under non-presidential circumstances, impeachment is a tool litigation attorneys use to discredit the opposing side's witnesses at trial. When said witness takes the stand under oath attys. present evidence contrary to what the witness
claims. This weakens the other side's case by discrediting impeached witnesses's testimony. Once a witness has been impeached - by presentment of inconsistent testimony - the judge/jury can no longer use the impeached witnesses's testimony in reaching a verdict.
Simply put, they aren't trustworthy. In the case of Presidential impeachment that broad definition of impeachment applies, but the impeachment tool is used for a very different purpose. Under the Constitution, a sitting President cannot be tried in a court of law for anything.
