    I love that “No one can stand him” Is a good reason for expulsion. The human trafficking wasn’t enough.

      Fucking a teenager is why Republicans want to allow child marriage. His only crime to them was not marrying her after he trafficked her. That’s forgivable. Being unbearable might possibly not be.

        Rape, fraud, etc is fine because it doesn’t affect them. Him causing the Reps to not vote uniformly and needing Dem help is a catastrophe.

        Oh, they don’t care about that. Conservative men can molest and rape whoever they like with no obligation to marry anybody.

        Bible also says the rapee must marry the rapist. Surprised the evangelicals aren’t pushing that one too.

      Of course not, Republicans only pay lip service to children, just ask Dennis Hastert

      I mean I loathe all of them too, but the rest of the quote is about his morals, and it’s the results of that investigation that they intend to base this on.

      Human trafficking is a bonus in their books, but he was mean to them and that will not stand!

      Andrew Johnson’s impeachment included:

      . . . as well before as afterwards, make and declare, with a loud voice, certain intemperate, inflammatory and scandalous harangues, and therein utter loud threats and bitter menaces, as well against Congress as the laws of the United States duly enacted thereby, amid the cries, jeers and laughter of the multitudes then assembled in hearing, which are set forth in the several specifications hereinafter written, in substance and effect . . .

      Which is 19th century formal language for “this guy is an asshole”.

      Mind you, the Senate never voted on this particular article, and Johnson was otherwise acquitted. It remains unclear if you can remove a President for being an asshole, but there is some precedent that suggests you can.
