And this has been a colossal waste of time?
Not trying to be political here.....is he really "impeached" if both houses dont vote that way? Isn't that why there are three branches of government?

.. who is halfway through her junior year, ... who discovers that her scholarship funds are being withheld by the university president.
Upon inquiring, the university president conditions release of the scholarship funds in return for a sexual threesome with the coed and her mother.
Abuse of office???
What Trump did was 100x worse.
Colossal waste of time to impeach him? I beg to differ.

Actually, scratch that....I wouldn't be surprised if you could stretch logic even further.
That was the most obtuse, moronic analogy one could imagine

Here - let me improve it.
A University has an unofficial, unaffiliated service club that nonetheless received consistent sponsorship from the school (which they depend on heavily for their mission). Several former Vice Chancellors at the school inexplicably have kids -- none of whom have any experience with community service nor finance -- who somehow keep getting Treasurer roles on this club's board that significantly enrich them.....unverified mileage reimbursements, expensive meal reimbursements, press box passes to games, early online course registration to account for how "busy" the work for the club keeps them, etc.
There is public awareness, concern, and discussion about this arrangement -- including by the prior University president, who was a close associate and friend of these Vice Chancellors. But nothing has been looked into, in spite of the most prominent ex-Vice Chancellor joking openly on film about having a compliance official fired for looking into the arrangement involving his son's role with the club.
So, the University president calls the club's head officer and confirm that yes, we will once again provide discretionary funding for your club's service activities. In this same conversation, he also tells this officer that he'd appreciate it if she would get back to him on this situation with the ex-Vice Chancellor's kid and all of the benefits being provided. There is, after all, significant public interest in this situation.
Somehow, this collection of old-guard administrators has a huge problem with this attack on their gravy train and races to accuse this president of settling scores with associates he doesn't like via extortion!!!
You're welcome.

Never mind that Trump never asked DOJ to investigate Biden in 2017 or 2018.
Never mind that Trump never asked Ukraine to investigate Biden in 2017 or 2018.
Never mind that Trump never asked Ukraine to investigate Biden ever. Rather, he asked Ukraine to publicly announce a corruption investigation against Biden. Trump just wanted a news story.
And he used Rudy as his point man.
And the military funds were released only after Trump learned of whistle blower. Why release the funds if Ukraine had not yet satisfied Trump's corruption concerns? Why did Trump fold if Trump's concerns were genuine??
Think objectively.

New govt has to fight off Maduro sympathizers and their Cuban and Russian backers.
Congress votes aid to Venezuala both military and non military to do so.
Prez HRC holds up that aid until the new govt promises to investigate allegations that Orange was fucking two strippers bareback in a Caracas night club after his last defeat while he is again a 2020 candidate.
Waddaya think our pals would say about that?

Because the previous university president refused to even consider granting her a scholarship in Anti-Russian-Warfare Studies.

remove after a trial in the Senate.
I don't believe he is going anywhere now until January 2021 at the earliest.
In my view, they would have been better served to censure him and focus on the election.

Repeatedly characterizing his phone call as "Perfect" makes it a hell of a lot more scary than the phone call itself. I don't think he'll be removed, but his behavior has earned him the "third president in history to be impeached" achievement on gamespot.
3TK is right.
The bot defense of him though is comical.

Year. Politically., I think a trial in the Senate will be more damaging to Biden who is widely considered the most viable candidate to oppose him.
The Bidens do not come off looking good here.
Trump doesn’t care how he looks. It's one of his super powers...
The Biden/Trump 2020 decision is only moderately less shitty than Clinton/Trump 2016 decision. Buttegieg is the only one I could get enthusiastic about.
Ultimately, I guess I am on the "any functioning adult" team. As long as Trump keeps transferring wealth from his followers to me, I am not going to lose any sleep over it.
He isnt going anywhere until January 2025.....this has galvanized his base beyond where they once were
He is a scumbag, make no doubt about it
But the Dems have looked like even bigger scumbags in proceeding in the manner they have....
Meanwhile I am enjoying the economy and look forward to an early retirement......
