    I made no accusation I spoke of an action. You don't seem to need any "proof" of what Democrat presidents have done.

    Yes. Declaring a national emergency to free up money for a pet project is something that is going to come back and bite the GOP hard. I guarantee a Democrat is going to do that for climate change, and it won't be $20 billion.

    I do hope they go broke and can't. Since there is no other way to control the out of control spending by both parties.

    Nope you said Trump was currently violating the constitution. Until you say how it's a baseless accusation.

    That's been McConnell's line.

    And, yes it's hard to believe, regardless of party.

    So, now that it's crystal clear that the articles of impeachment are on the money, what we hear is that ...

    ... it doesn't matter, because the president is above all law as well as congress!!!

    Were a dictatorship!!! Who knew???

    The articles of impeachment are a joke. Abuse of Power ?? How ?? Obstruction of Congress ?? What does that even mean ?? Why didn't the Banana Republic Party subpoena their desired witnesses and then have a federal court decide if they should testify ?? No time to allow the judicial system to settle a dispute concerning the Constitutional separation of powers ?? Then why did Pelosi sit on the articles for a month ?? No witnesses in the Senate ?? There were 17 witnesses testified in the House hearings which according to Schiff, Nadler, and Pelosi produced an air tight case.

    This entire purely partisan faux impeachment is a farce.

    And yet the Banana Republic Party will continue this insult to the intelligence of the American people after Trump is acquitted for life on Wednesday.

    There were no broken laws stipulated in the articles. The articles are farcical.

    No not really. Not even kinda, not even at all.

    It means you think it's ok to make baseless accusations against people without evidence.

    Actually against one of the ten commandments and against basic humsn decency.

    I'd rather go broke cleaning up the Earth (or trying) than giving rich people more tax breaks.

    Why not get rich and give rich people tax breaks, rich people who are already paying more than their fair share.

    Rich people in the US pay much more than rich people in Scandinavia.

    The Ten Commandments that supposedly came from a God who practiced genocide and had his followers to follow genocidal actions to clear the land promised by their God. Yeah, I am so missing out.

    There was no genocide, it was a war, just like when we nuked Japan.

    First, that's false. At the very least, he broke campaign law.

    But, the real answer is that a president doesn't have to commit a crime in order to be impeached.

    In particular, Trump attacked our democracy in order to further his personal election campaign.

    Regardless of the other facts, this one is more than ennough to convict this president.
