I'm surprised it's not trending on twitter

2020-01-16 22:08:53 UTC  

Also, tall you won't die if/because Iran and the US hostilities continue.

2020-01-16 22:09:05 UTC  

Cuz pence is gonna kill the gays

2020-01-16 22:09:25 UTC  

Pence is terrifying

2020-01-16 22:09:40 UTC  

HasTrump really been impeached?

2020-01-16 22:09:42 UTC  

The House voted to impeach back in December. They just voted to send the articles of impeachment to the Senate this week.

2020-01-16 22:10:02 UTC  

He has officially been impeached.

2020-01-16 22:10:13 UTC  

Oh damn

2020-01-16 22:10:18 UTC  

Not surprised in the slightest

2020-01-16 22:10:21 UTC  

He probably won't be removed from office, but he has been impeached.

2020-01-16 22:10:36 UTC  

Oh

2020-01-16 22:10:46 UTC  

The trial started today

2020-01-16 22:10:47 UTC  

Got it.

2020-01-16 22:11:11 UTC  

Hate the word impeach...makes it sound like someone being turned into fruit

2020-01-16 22:11:26 UTC  

There's been a few president's impeached but nobody has left office prematurely to my knowledge

2020-01-16 22:11:29 UTC  

Yes now we can eat the peach.

2020-01-16 22:11:43 UTC  

I don't taste good 😁

2020-01-16 22:11:49 UTC  

Does that prevent him from running again?

2020-01-16 22:11:51 UTC  

3 presidents have been impeached

2020-01-16 22:11:53 UTC  

damn

2020-01-16 22:12:56 UTC  

The trial proper starts a week from now. They're just setting everything up.

2020-01-16 22:14:10 UTC  

There have been three impeachments of Presidents: Andrew Johnson, Bill Clinton, Donald Trump.

2020-01-16 22:14:47 UTC  

They can still run again, but no one has ever been reelected after impeachment, though my money is on Trump getting reelected anyway.

2020-01-16 22:15:05 UTC  

So what the fuck was the point in doing it?

2020-01-16 22:15:20 UTC  

If it literally has no consequences?

2020-01-16 22:15:28 UTC  

Also why the fuck are there no consequences?!

2020-01-16 22:15:30 UTC  

It has serious consequences.

2020-01-16 22:15:47 UTC  

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.
