The two big ones seem left the fuck out though

2020-01-16 22:15:55 UTC  

An impeachment is essentially like charging the President with a crime of abusing the presidency.

2020-01-16 22:16:15 UTC  

And then letting him stay in office and potentially get re elected?? Wtf

2020-01-16 22:16:33 UTC  

There is a trial in the Senate, which must convict the President with 67 senators voting for removal.

2020-01-16 22:16:45 UTC  

Which isn't gonna happen.

2020-01-16 22:16:51 UTC  

There's too many Republicans

2020-01-16 22:17:40 UTC  

Right. If the Senate is so partisan that they won't vote to remove even a "guilty" President, the only power of impeachment is to stain that President's name in history.

2020-01-16 22:17:54 UTC  

Which is fucking insane

2020-01-16 22:18:17 UTC  

Like I get that everyone deserves the right to trial and all of that

2020-01-16 22:18:19 UTC  

I mean a simple majority vote in the house is too low a bar for removing a president.

It's the one time the Constitution let's the government simply agree to overturn the will of the electorate.

2020-01-16 22:19:35 UTC  

A fair trial has nothing to do with it. This is a political trial.

2020-01-16 22:19:38 UTC  

KITTEN

2020-01-16 22:19:40 UTC  

However; there should at least be the inability to run for reelection if it's done in first term

2020-01-16 22:19:55 UTC  

Not a criminal one. If Trump is removed, that won't make him convicted of any crimes.

2020-01-16 22:20:58 UTC  

it wont happen.

2020-01-16 22:21:08 UTC  

Isn't his term nearly over

2020-01-16 22:21:14 UTC  

Its close to election year and its majority republican in the senate.

2020-01-16 22:21:17 UTC  

It is but he can run again is the issue

2020-01-16 22:21:38 UTC  

Yes he can run, because he's still an American citizen with a clean record and of age to run. He can still run if he hasn't served two full terms.

Generally impeachment makes you unelectable, but Trump's base thinks the impeachment is illegitimate party politics.

2020-01-16 22:22:18 UTC  

Has he done anything worth impeaching?

2020-01-16 22:22:42 UTC  

If the allegations are true, yes.

2020-01-16 22:22:55 UTC  

He has done shady shit.

2020-01-16 22:22:59 UTC  

I mean

2020-01-16 22:23:04 UTC  

He apparently liked to touch underage models

2020-01-16 22:23:05 UTC  

🤷

2020-01-16 22:23:06 UTC  

That's the problem I have with it; even if he's not removed from office it still seems stupid to let him run again if he's already abused the power of presidency? Idk just seems illogical but I get it

2020-01-16 22:23:19 UTC  

The iran thing.

2020-01-16 22:23:28 UTC  

I think everyone overblew it.

2020-01-16 22:23:30 UTC  

No war.

2020-01-16 22:23:40 UTC  

War doesn't happen in a day lol

2020-01-16 22:23:46 UTC  

It doesnt.

2020-01-16 22:23:55 UTC  

LOOOOOL

2020-01-16 22:23:59 UTC  

U wants to watch it all burn

2020-01-16 22:24:01 UTC  

But this shit is so COMMON in the middle east.

2020-01-16 22:24:01 UTC  

The allegations are that he had his personal lawyer spy on diplomatic officials and intentionally failed to carry out his duty as President until Ukraine promised to hurt his most likely political opponent.

2020-01-16 22:24:05 UTC  

Love a good impeachment

2020-01-16 22:24:15 UTC  

They're aware we have far more manpower than they do so they've got some preparing to do or; needs to be smarter about it and do terrorist shit inside the us

2020-01-16 22:24:25 UTC  

RIP trump but he did go big on gov spending which is ALWAYS a bad idea
