    No, he was impeached for lying to congress. Yet ask random people on the street and I'd wager most think it was over the blowjob itself.

    And Nobody cared about how Bush Jr was elected from Sept 12, 2001 onward. I've never heard much of a narrative that Bush Jr's win was illegitimate though. Nor Clinton. Heck, even Trump (beyond the extreme idiots)

    Yes, and that response you just quoted was in response to your example.

    ?? No, I meant my statement regarding resigning was specifically to your point about Nixon. Anyway, bit of a semantic rabbit hole. I understand where you were coming from.

    I grew up in Florida and I can assure you it was a common narrative that Bush Jr. stole the election.

    lol yeah ok. Anyone found the written request from the US to the Ukraine for assistance in the investigation as required by the Treaty?


    I am from Canada, and it disappeared from the national news on 9/11. I'm sure locally, in the State that decided it, it was a much bigger thing.

    I try to express the real disgust Trump and Trumpers make me feel but never really come close.

    Not if the alleged 'victim' doesn't even know about it like Biden's victim did.

    How so? Gore was the one who demanded the recounts in specific counties.

    No, but the fact that such a document (that would easily disprove everything the Dems have accused him off) has not been produced, or heck, even referenced by anyone except myself, anywhere that I can see, tells me that most don't realize it's a legal necessity and therefore likely doesn't exist.

    That is just the narrative. I never attempted to discover the rationale.

    this is the same stupid regurgitated B.S that the non truthers use. The bribery is asking for the favor of an investigation of a current U.S. political rival after the desperately needed missiles were deliberately held back. again you loose the debate. Why do you hate democracy and our constitution?

    Guess you didn’t watch the testimony, or read the transcript. All confirm trump abused his power by soliciting a foreign government to help him defeat a domestic political rival, while withholding congressional key approved funds.

    Is someone running against an incumbent White House immune from federal investigation for actions he took while an elected federal official?
