As the Babylon Bee pointed out, there is no alleged wrongdoing other than Trump winning the election.

No, he did not ask for dirt. And, no, he did not hold up their funds in connection with anything he asked them to look into. And, no, doing those things wouldn't be illegal, as we should all know by now.

So you're going with, "The fake news site says it, so it must be true!" LOL! Let's see how far that gets you.

Asking a foreign national for anything of value for a political campaign is a felony.





Well, there ya go....where is the vote for the articles of impeachment? If it's that straight forward.....why is the speaker not calling for the vote?



Maybe she's smarter than you and the armchair lawyers on here, no by much but still smarter....and knows that is not the case....

She will call for a vote when she deems it the right and proper time to do so. You get no say in it, and that kills you, doesn't it? Suck it up, snowflake. It's not your call.

We see the polls, and in stark contrast are the massive crowds that come to all trump events.


then we have record breaking donations to the Repub party by small donors.


Given the polls are somewhat questionable in regard to validity, how the question is asked, the sample size and distribution of those polled, come into question vs the hard, in your face evidence to the contrary, the polls are invalidated. Pollsters have never met Trump and still can't figure how to capture public reaction.


either that or the pollsters are so well versed in socialist style propaganda they use the polls to create a false reality. Not the first time we have seen such efforts.

They're still collecting evidence. That's what an investigation is all about. Google the word if you are having trouble understanding it. When they have built their case to where they are ready they will vote.

You don't like it. We get it. Tough luck.

I won't even start on dishonesty. Trump is the most dishonest president we have ever had. He keeps the fact checkers in business. But considering all our politicians are liars, that's not really a high crime.

Negligence-the fact that Trump spends nearly half his term in office vacationing and rallying is plenty of proof that he is neglecting his duties big time. And what about all the time he spends tweeting and watching TV?

Abuse of authority-here's a big one. How many times has he refused to obey the orders of Congress because "I'm the president?" And enriched himself via his office with his MAGA hats and increasing fees on Mar-a-Lago memberships?

Bribery and intimidation-that's where the phone call comes in-"Find dirt on Biden or we won't give you (the Ukraine) aid."

Unbecoming conduct-Twitterer in chief can't push his off button and stop insulting people online for even a week. Never have we had a more unprofessional, embarrassing president.

Refusing to obey a lawful order-see my comment about Congress and not obeying their orders.

Tax evasion-Where are those tax returns again?

And the sad part is he doesn't even have the excuse of chronic intoxication for his behavior!
