Gabbard responded calling Hillary Clinton the “the queen of warmongers, embodiment of corruption, and personification of the rot that has sickened the Democratic Party for so long."

:lol:
Possibility that the original smear of "Gabbard is a russian asset" came from a dodgy company linked to the Democratic party:

There is an event going on that ties the POTUS to selling out his country to the Russians and Turkish, behaviour that would have anyone else locked up at the mere suggestion of such treasonous behaviour and all you people can say is

Um, no.
You usually need some kind of proof to lock someone up. You know, evidence and shit like that.
Maybe you can hire Robert Mueller to investigate?

The finer points of Law never stopped Big Donny from crying for incarceration every chance he got! Interesting too that him trying something similar with the Bidens is likely to bring his whole shooting match crumbling down around his ears!
The impeachment inquiry is trying to find if indeed any Laws were broken when he invited numerous countries (us included) to interfere in the 202.0 Despite continued obstruction from Trump and Co who can't argue the facts so they argue and attempt to derail/OBSTRUCT the process!

Interesting to hear Drumpf bleat that he is being "lynched" after stateing just 2 weeks ago that "Whistle-blowers" should shot or hung (like they were in the good Oil Days)!

Looks like the GOP rats are getting ready to jump ship in time to find a make-shift Canditate before the 2020 election.... which is likely to reduce Republican numbers to an emaciated Rump!

Whilst I like Bernie, I'm not sure he's the person to give an unbiased, dispassionate assessment of the claims against Trump.

Stand by for the release of the Horowitz and Durham reports.

The impeachment inquiry is the last legal opportunity for the ‘Deep State’ to try and bring Trump down before Barr uses the Horowitz /Durham findings to lay charges on Clinton and many others (both Dem and Rep - because to see this battle in terms of left-right party politics is to miss the point entirely)

Won’t be long now. So start thinking ahead of the story.

if you want a more (or less) impeachable source of information you could ask one of Trumps most fervent supporters

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/suppor ... s-new-high

btw. Trump joins Johnson, Nixon and Clinton as Presidents that have faced impeachment and in each of those cases the the Presidents Party has suffered defeats at the hands of sceptical voters. When given a chance to vote on whether or not a President can almost literally rip up the "phony*" US Constitution so he can get foriegn Governments to fabricate Evidence and Criminal charges to help him win a US Election the result is a pretty much lay down Mazaire. Here's how THE Most Jerrymanded District in the US voted just recently. The GOP aren't total idiots and are well aware the writing is almost on the WALL https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/201 ... h-carolina

After Clinton's impeachment he was reelected and the Democrats gained seats in the house. No point in giving you facts though, your posts read like a DNC press release.

Clinton was impeached in his second term, but the Democrats made gains in the 1998 mid term elections largely due to the backlash against the Republicans for starting the impeachment process against Clinton earlier in the year.

The Republicans lost seats in the House and made no gains in the Senate which was the first time a non-Presidential party made no congressional gains since 1934.

After his acquittal, Clinton enjoyed high support from the voting public in the final two years of his presidency.

Must've been thinking of the turnaround in approval, I remembered the elections going the Democrats way after the impeachment though.

After Nixon, Ford didn't do too badly either and after 1 term of Carter Reagan was voted in by a crazy margin.

^ That's right, Wokko.

Clinton was impeached on 19 December 1998 which was the same day where his approval rating was at its highest (73%) as the link below shows:
