    Do you know what would settle all this hostility in the house? A good old fashioned caning or even duel.

    I want to note this for the record. Especially to the “Well I didn’t vote for Trump but...” crowd.

    Impeach Him If You Like, but for the Love of God, Stop Pretending You Care about the Constitution
    By David Harsanyi

    Perhaps Donald Trump deserves to be impeached for his Ukrainian adventure. Heck, maybe he deserves to be impeached for sending that insanely entertaining letter yesterday. But those are political considerations for Democrats. Impeaching the president isn’t a Constitutional imperative. Nor is it a patriotic obligation. Democrats, who today ludicrously wrap themselves in the patina of “rule of law,” know this well. Not very long ago, they were rationalizing and cheerleading unprecedented abuses of power under the Obama administration. And they’ll be cheerleading for more abuses of the Constitution the next time they win the White House.

    Nancy Pelosi can dress in black, recite the Pledge of Allegiance, and act as if this impeachment is her solemn obligation, but everyone saw the Democratic party’s hysterical reaction to the 2016 election. Everyone saw dozens of candidates running in 2018 — either implicitly, but most often explicitly — on getting rid of the president. Just last week we learned that people within our intelligence agencies subverted the law to help Democrats concoct a three-year national panic meant to undermine the veracity of a fair election.

    “The Republic is why we are here today. We are custodians of the Constitution. A Republic by the people for the people,” writes one Eric Swalwall, a man who once pondered the possibility of nuking Americans who demanded to practice their Second Amendment rights. Trump-era liberals had argued for the abolition of the Electoral College long before they were pretending to care about Ukrainian autonomy. Democrats were talking about stacking the Supreme Court long before any whistleblower showed up. If your contention is that the Constitution protects abortion on demand through the ninth month but are fine with undermining property rights, gun rights, religious freedom, and any meaningful separation of power, you’re not a custodian of the Constitution, you’re partisan with an agenda. So do what you must. But it’s been insufferable watching you playact sentinel of the American Republic — whose presumptions, institutions, documents, and Founders you don’t really seem to like very much.

    The whole "they have been talking about impeaching trump from the beginning" story...

    REPUBLICANS ARE ALREADY TALKING ABOUT IMPEACHING CLINTON
    The G.O.P. is warning of a “constitutional crisis” if Clinton wins.

    Why are you posting this crap? Really? Look at this BS.
    When the article has that crap in it, you need to stop reading and move on to another website... Unless of course you actually believe that. Do you?

    CNN out here really suckling at the nips of Nancy Pelosi.. gawd damn get off her nuts, lol.

    Why the hell are they acting like this is a solemn moment? Trump is a criminal. Why are we supposed to be sad? There isn't even any real repercussions of being impeached if you aren't removed besides a scarlet letter. Trump still has all his power.

    This whole solemn moment stuff is so dumb and contrived.

    He does.
    What a disgrace of a President. He should've just let Pence run the show from the start.

    On a side note: I'll see you all on the other side of 2020.

    Turtle face Mitch going to dribble this sh-t out in the Senate like James Harden. I'm afraid to see how he f-cks with the dems. Mitch is in the 99th percentile of all b****es, but he knows politics.

    I have prepared my body for the bullsh-t to come.
