Law breaking requires breaking a law - even the Dems impeaching Trump didn't feel he broke any law. Your lack of understanding is pretty pitiful.

Well, bestowing the medal is something Trump can do, so he did it. He did it in a throwaway fashion, too. All the other winners have had a special occasion reserved for them.

Limbaugh is a scoundrel, but he's a dying scoundrel. Whatever damage he can do has already been done, and he won't be around very long to do much more.

If it makes him happy to get the medal in such a thoughtless way, a small interruption in a larger event, that's OK by me... it's nothing but a bit of mercy for a dying man.

And that’s not happening. He will be exonerated by tomorrow evening.

This “impeached forever” stuff is just something lefties say to give themselves some sort of solace about Trump being their president.
Not exonerated -- acquitted...his fate is the same as Clinton's.

Yup they both have the asterisk.

Democrats are suiciding themselves. Pelosi symbolically tore up any chance they had at turning it around. Independents were calling into CSpan after the speech saying they’re never voting for another democrat after seeing Pelosi’s hate.

Yep, fate is the same. Neither got removed from office, both had their approval ratings go up, both made the opposing party look foolish, petty, partisan and reckless, and both ended up on top.

Was dumb when the Republicans did it, was just as dumb when the Democrats did it. Both should have been censured, not impeached, and in both cases, the retards in the House majority tried to overplay the losing hand.

You are right about the false exoneration part only...congress wussed out by not having witness Bolton speak to expose the whole truth that America should know...he would've spilled the beans on Trump resulting in removal from office...gotta do the big "cover up" as usual. Oh well, impeached forever... Bolton's book will tell all and be a best seller...he will make many many millions!

I think he didn't see it but I wouldn't fault him considering that she is trying to remove him from office currently.

I love how Nike came out with the Betsy Ross Flag shoe and Kaepernick vetoed it.
Rush and his wife came up with the "Stand Up For Betsy Ross" tee shirt.
He donated all of the profits to tunnels2towers.com .
Five million dollars and counting.

Do you care about Clinton’s asterisk? I don’t. I would bet most people don’t. Hell, if you asked people under 40 on the street, I would bet at least half don’t even know Clinton was impeached.

And exonerated is what is said and meant. He wasn’t convicted. The house didn’t prove their case. As far as I’m concerned he was exonerated.

Clinton committed an actual crime, for which he was disbarred. So no, he wasn’t exonerated. It was still a bunch of BS that he was put in a position where he had to lie, but he did lie under oath.
