    All 3 impeached prez's have been aquitted by the Senate.
    Yet, all 3 are still the only 3 to ever have been impeached.

    If I want to do a search and find something positive to the left, very easy. The right? It is being erased from the Internet. The Left is calling anything disagreeing with them, "hate speech" and openly speak about outlawing it. Other than calling out fake news, do right wingers do anything on par? I don't think so.

    He got impeached for doing the unthinkable; calling out one of the anointed. Hunter Biden did nothing we know of that was illegal. A man running out of a bank with alarms bells ringing, holding sacks of cash, covered in blood, hasn't done anything illegal that you know of. But at what point should someone start asking questions?

    Presidents aren't elected to oversee the health of the nation. They are elected for their ideology. Those who work for the president are there to implement the President's ideology. Period. If they don't like it, they quit and go off in silence unless they're actually asked to commit an actual crime.

    But every single witness that the DEMOCRATS in the HOUSE of REPRESENTATIVES called said that there was no corruption. And the Democrats impeached him anyway.

    Let's be a bit more precise since "corruption" is subjective now a days. They said he didn't commit any crimes that they are aware of. They thought what he did was inappropriate, but no crime that they know of.

    Can't quite agree here. While yes they are elected based on thier ideology people believe it's that ideology that is best for the health of the country. The Presidents job is most certainly to do what's best for the country... even if that means going against the will of the people.

    For example do you think a President should push for a total lockdown of people right now and say screw the economy as several Dems have argued for as of late, or should he try to find a compromise?

    Please, you ever thought it might be because the Right is the one in charge and it is the Right that is perpetually wrong? I know it is hard to comprehend when you're so deep into it you cannot fathom that reality.

    Whether you like it or not, the presses job is to ask the questions. Trump's continual "fake news" mantra has and is seriously jeopardizing my ability to get to the truth. That is limiting Free Speech.

    I fear what republicans did with impeachment in the 90’s, and this last farce dems puked up will only go to further harm this country. This won’t be the last we have seen of weaponized impeachments.

    So, because he uses his free speech to label the press fake news that stops the press from performing their job? I don't think you know what free speech means. While the Press can certainly ask questions, no one has to answer their questions. The right to free speech includes the right to shut up. The right to free speech also involves the right to criticize the press, including calling them fake news. Neither stops the press from doing anything that they want. Including exercising their own free speech.

    Try again.

    The right does not control our corporations. Interesting thing: they make great sr. managers but NOT innovators. Gates, Jobs, Mark Zuckerberg, they are Liberals if not Leftists. Holly wood types? Our education system, legacy media, judiciary? Lousy with the left. Even Trump himself is NOT a Conservative. He's more of an opportunist.

    How does that jeopardize your ability to get the truth? First off, you're not interested in the truth. But if you want MSNBC's view of the world just watch MSNBC. You can get whatever version of the story you want to hear.

    By the way, the first person to use the phrase, "Fake News", was Hillary.

    Yup, Trump is the first president who was impeached without citing one single crime that he supposedly committed. He was impeached over nothing but pure speculation, and assumptive opinions. The vote to impeach was a completely one-sided partisan Democratic Partly line vote, by bitterly partisan House of Representatives. The vote NOT to impeach was the bipartisan one.
