And some seriously considered committing violence against the Vice President and assorted other leaders. Even in our most extreme opposition, none of us wanted the President assassinated. Except for maybe a few crazies on the left, but there are always crazies out there. There just happen to more right wing crazies at this moment in history, numerically.
The first impeachment wasn't primarily about Russia, it was about the attempt to suborn perjury from the Ukrainians and misuse of Presidential authority. There's never been any doubt about what happened there and that it was inappropriate and potentially criminal. The second impeachment is mostly about refusing to accept a fair and clearcut election, undermining the role of democracy in our society, and encouraging for months the lunatics and their like who attacked the Capitol based upon his lies, refusal to accept the legal process, and self-serving potentially criminal conduct. Both impeachments have serious and valid underlying legal rationales, and will soon be behind us one way or the other. The important thing is that a destabilizing and truly dysfunctional human being is out of the White house and we still, for the present, have a Republic, if we can keep it. I personally don't care what happens in the second impeachment, but it would be better for the Republican party as a source of rational conservative policy and thought, if Trump were permanently banned from office. We'll have to deal with the pathetic likes of Don, Jr. and Eric, and maybe Ivanka, but that's better than Trump himself. He's thoroughly discredited himself, and the party would be better off without him, as would the nation.
Sorry Neil, but the first impeachment was as unhinged as this last one. The President released a transcript of the call, there were 20+ people listening to it, and once again, your accusation doesn't hold water. Impeachment is a political act, pure and simple.
I find it ironic that the Left sees treachery and crime in events that can't pass the smell test, yet ignores:
- Hard evidence of Joe's corruption on Hunter Biden's laptop
- The sworn (under penalty of perjury) of over 1,000 individuals witnessing election fraud
- Hillary's influence peddling and numerous national security violations
Double standard much?
