    They woke up one morning and said, "Hey! Let's try [fill in the blank]."

    Biden is guilty of these things so the impeachment happy dems had to change the charges. It is that simple.

    It's a waste of time talking to Trumpsters. They are immune to facts and will continue to make excuses for their criminal ad nauseum.

    Apparently, they are also ok with a Democratic president doing the same things that Dirty Donnie has done since they are cheering for the Senate to let him off.

    Especially when people wanting to see the hard evidence that show our President committed a criminal act, and all the Democrats have are their biased, speculative opinions to offer.

    Well lets take a look -- President Trump is charged with two articles of impeachment. One for abuse of power and the other for obstruction of Congress. Is there a politician in or out of office who has not abused his/her power? That's what they routinely do. Doesn't congress constantly obstruct the president and vice versa? That's what they routinely do. It seems to me that 95% of our Washington politicians come from the bottom of the barrel. Today is a sad day for the USA.

    Prof. Turely made the argument that the House is engaged in an abuse of power right now. They have no evidence against the president. All they have is their biased personal opinions of what they think the president motivations and intentions might have been.

    They may as well convict a Trump for attempted murder, because he bought a gun, and they assume he was going to kill John Smith with it. John smith being very much alive is only proof that Trump failed to shoot him.

    I just heard a clip of Pelosi explaining impeachment to the media where she said, "Trump is a coward who won't help the children." I wonder if this is going to be another article. I have no idea what she is talking about, but maybe it refers to the single scoop of ice cream thingy......

    I think it is known as impeachment stew or smorgasbord.

    It would be fantastic if a Democrat would work to make the country better, rather than working to destroy it.

    Because the filing is little more than a whimper instead of a bang an admission at long last that there is no there there.

    The migrant crisis thing that Democrats won't fund DHS and other security methods that could definitely help save said children. Since occupying the House, Democrats have taken tantrums to a new and unprecedented norm. We Americans have got to wake up: We gave Repubs the House in 2016 for a reason, it's because the Democrats can't govern and still can't govern.

    Of course actual evidence would be a good start.

    The Democrats have never forgiven Trump for that ice cream scoop thing. Ice Cream-gate I think they call it.

    This is the brave new world; where accusations are evidence.

    Exactly, it would be nice for the House Democrats to actually offer up some facts, that would be a start. But to accuse people of denying the facts presented by the House, when none exist, is just silly.

    The Dem Party's leadership -- such as it is -- has degenerated into being a perpetual circular firing squad. It's as if they sit around asking one another, "What can we do next to really, REALLY hurt ourselves as a Party?" and then they do it. Weird.

    Gasp! You are asking for both facts and evidence? A huge number of leftists apparently HATE those things. Stop being so cruel to them.

    Basically what the Dem Party leadership is saying by making THAT the root of their impeachment of Trump is that "Trump refuses to be a leftist!" This means that not only will the Senate rip their 'case' to shreds but in cross examination will pretty much destroy them in the eyes of both the nation and the rest of the world. It's as if the entire Party's leadership decided to commit political suicide.
