WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump was impeached by the U.S. House of Representatives on Wednesday night, becoming only the third American chief executive to be formally charged under the Constitution’s ultimate remedy for high crimes and misdemeanors.
The historic vote split along party lines, much the way it has divided the nation, over the charges that the 45th president abused the power of his office by enlisting a foreign government to investigate a political rival ahead of the 2020 election. The House then approved a second charge, that he obstructed Congress in its investigation.
The articles of impeachment, the political equivalent of an indictment, now go to the Senate for trial. If Trump is acquitted by the Republican-led chamber, as expected, he would have to run for re-election carrying the enduring mark of impeachment on his purposely disruptive presidency.

Coup.
ReplyDelete8:04 No horse in this race, but the GOP was all too happy to impeach Clinton for far less. What say you?
ReplyDeleteTrump has done nothing wrong, this is a made up lie of which that is all the communist Democratic party can do. Trump said can you help us, our country has been through alot. Trump is trying to catch the theives, Biden, comey and a few more. So sit down and shut up commie.
Delete9:01. That’s for the senate to decide, not you. Fortunately no sitting president has ever been removed from office, regardless of who is the majority. I think there’s an episode of Sesame Street that explains the process if you don’t understand how the system works.
DeleteNow, before I “sit down and shut up”, please answer the actual question above instead of attempting to misdirect everyone.
What question commie. I did not have sex with that wo.an in the whitehouse. Another liar
Delete9:58 I will make this as idiot-proof as possible for you: Where was your outrage when the GOP was trying to impeach Clinton?
DeleteThere was none. He took advantage of a naive tough nurse in the white house and then lied about it, and probably laughed about it with epstein. Is that simple enough for you cupcake
DeleteAccording to the Senate, Clinton didn’t do anything wrong, cupcake. Or are you claiming to be smarter than all those GOP senators?
DeleteQuit flip-flopping on the issue and people might start to take you seriously.
Perjury is not a far less crime, which is what Clinton was impeached on, lying to a grand jury, once a proven liar nothing they say can be believed!!
DeleteHe lied. I did not have sex with that woman in the whitehouse. He lied, he lied he lied. Democrats are liars.
DeleteHe lied. I did not have sex with that woman in the whitehouse. He lied, he lied he lied. Democrats are liars.
DeleteIt just makes him stronger and more committed to Making America Great Again. God Bless America and have a very MERRY CHRISTMAS.
ReplyDeleteObama and the Dems put several informants/spies into the Trump campaign in 2015-2016. The FBI has already admitted this. This shows you how deep the corruption goes in the government.
ReplyDeleteGo ahead and play your silly little games.
ReplyDeleteBut if you think you're going to remove a duly elected President on such ridiculous charges, which we've read, you had better come with more than a piece of paper and an edict.
Any takers on this bet ? Donald Trump will still be President of the United States after 2020 and beyond...
ReplyDeleteIs platform is draining the swamp. Not sure how impeachment hurts him. But what do I no. I voted Obama first term and Mitt the second. I will probably NEVER VOTE DEMOCRAT again. I’m actually EMBARRASSED I voted Obama the first time but I don’t like McCain. He snitched on his men repeatedly per the men that were pows in camp with him.

Deletewelcome aboard brother
Trump 2020
Yes welcome aboard, I've been a proud deplorable for about 4 years.
DeleteWhat charges? Doing his job in a way that makes his predecessor and the Dem Congress look to be the ineffectual fools that they are?
ReplyDelete9:06 the senate is expected to acquit him, just like they did Clinton.
DeleteThe difference is Clinton was well-liked throughout his terms whereas scholars and voters are debating just how awful Trump is compared to the other 44 that came before him.
I challenge you to find ANY poll or survey that finds him above the bottom quartile. I’ll wait.
You will see in 2020 commie
DeleteThat’s your response??? Lmao!
Delete12:18 Clinton was well liked,really? By whom, his wife Hildabeast or intern Monica Lewinski? And what polls are you referring to? CNN, ABC, MSNBC those Fakes? It should make you feel warm and fuzzy knowing that Slick Willy Clinton was On the Job in the Oval Office getting BJ by an intern,vwhile being paid by Taxpayers Money. Anyone else would of been Fired from their job. And when you look at Melania,vou would know Donald doesn't need any interns.
DeleteTRUMP 2020! KEEP AMERICA GREAT!
Look up his popularity & job performance rating during the impeachment process. I’ll make it easy for you- start near the bottom where trump is now, and scroll up the list to about 1/3 near the top.
DeleteAnd pick any poll you’d like, he is pretty consistent.
Trump will win and I hope ruin every Democrat that voted for the impeachment. Only it will be done the right way and documented into their dealings and the skeletons will fall from the closets. I pray Pelosi, Schumer, and Schiff are exposed for the freaks they are. This president was treated unfairly the moment he took office, we are supposed to respect our President regardless of party, and whom we voted for it's how Americans have done in history, not the circus we have seen the last four years of just blind hatred.
ReplyDeleteThe process wasnt even completed in the House, let alone make it to the Senate. But thats why they didnt take the vote....so they could spin the new narrative...the one some of you brainwashed idiots are already rumoring. They are betting and banking on the ignorant people to take it hook line and sinker.
ReplyDelete8:04....."...for far less..."???? WTF?
ReplyDeleteHe had sex with a subordinate, many years younger. And, denied it UNDER OATH.
Why don't YOU try that and see if you can avoid jail time?
It's called "sexual harassment" and I'm not sure, but it seems to me that's a big deal with women.
Trump MADE A PHONE CALL.
You goof.
But, on the good side, I just sent $100 to his campaign and so did about 20 million other Americans.
Just so Trump can whip hillary, or whatever other bimbo goof they send, into mashed potatoes.
This only made him stronger.....lol!
You?
Keep cheering.
At least until next November, when its CRYING TIME AGAIN.
In 2016 50 Republican national security experts warned that Trump would “put at risk our country’s national security and well-being.”
DeleteTurns out they were absolutely correct!
They went on to say:
“He appears to lack basic knowledge about and belief in the U.S. Constitution, U.S. laws, and U.S. institutions...”
absolutely spot on!
And:
“Most fundamentally, Mr. Trump lacks the character, values, and experience to be President. He weakens U.S. moral authority as the leader of the free world.”
Is it any wonder that Putin loves this guy so much?
All I hear is wah, way way wah
Delete3:48 ?? Said 50 "Experts"? LOL
DeleteYou mean 50 RINOs and Never Trumpers? Well, they should know better after decades of "politicking" in DC Swamp. So let's blame Trump for Decades of Failures by both parties, right?
And Putin liked Obama way more, because Barack by his own admission " was flexible" and loved to bend over many times.
3:48 50 experts...and how were they correct? My God listen to yourself. Putin? Morals? Character? There is not one member of Congress on both sides that have any fn character or morals you fool. They are all getting rich off of you and the rest of the tax payers. Living in mansions while the districts they represent are shit holes. Spending their whole careers in Congress accomplishing nothing. So gtfoh with your fake morals and your lousy attempt at trashing Trump. Wake the f up! You and the media still have not figured out why Trump won and why he will win again in 2020. Don’t confuse your saltiness for smartness🙄
DeleteThey wont send it to the Senate because it would end, they need the lies to continue and they will try and persuade the supreme court to give them everything they have been seeking {current court cases}
ReplyDelete"The material they have been seeking is: (1) Mueller grand jury material; (2) a deposition by former White House counsel Don McGahn; and less importantly (3) Trump financial and tax records. Each of these issues is currently being argued in appellate courts (6e and McGahn) and the supreme court (financials/taxes)."
They need to keep fishing and defaming the President.
If youve been following Q youd know, FISA and declass BRINGS DOWN THE HOUSE!
There will be a major indictment unsealed soon, and the world will be shocked.
I originally stated I have no horse in this race. If you need help understanding that please speak up.
ReplyDeleteFor whatever you claim he did or didn’t do, Clinton survived the Senate and Trump probably will too.
It remains to be seen if he’ll seek/win re-election but if he does, he’ll become the first impeached president to do so.
Kangaroo Charges don't Count & are Worthless !! FACT
ReplyDeleteIt truly is a sad time in American. Too many have completely divorced themselves from facts and the truth in order to worship at the altar of their respective political party. You had weeks of testimony against Trump yet Republicans act as if that never happened and this is all just Tom Clancy science fiction. On the other side you have Dems who had rendered their verdict before a single witness had spoke a word. You all don't even realize you are the exact reason these people remain in power. Then you get mad and act surprised when you get the same result.
ReplyDeleteTake for example economy. The recession was NOT caused by Obama and he did not ruin the economy. In fact, his job growth numbers coming out of the recession have been on par with much of the Trump presidency. Trump did NOT come in and rescue the economy, this has been the result of continued growth that goes back years before a single vote was cast for him. Trump also did NOT wreck the economy as the Dems would have wanted you to think. Meanwhile the party that used to be against deficit spending is now cheering for it. And the party that used to be against war now wants to complain because Trump didn't jump into Syria, Iran, Ukraine and other locales with guns ablazin.
Welcome to upside down world.
This is no longer political to me as it is good vs evil. Commicrats lie, keep your doctor, cheat, thousands of dead voting because the commiecrat part doesn't want to clean ten up, let illegals vote but we're afraid the Russians interfered,steal, 10 times the amount of money given to Iran than the amount that was froze, murder, 1/2 million babies murdered every year in this country,and let's not forget leaving ou men in Bengali when they could have been rescued, putting sick demented transgender stories tellers in our schools, attacking christians, attacking whites, Charlie tangle cheating on his taxes, Maxine race boater giving inside information to her banker husband, fast and furious was breaking laws, and I can go on and on and on and on with this. Commicrats hate the usa
DeleteWhat is a race boater? How can you tell if a boat is not a race? Asking for a friend. 😂
Delete1214, this is me from 1103. Care to regurgitate anymore crap headlines and fake news from Brietbart and Rush Limbaugh? Im not saying "Dems do no wrong". But you folks would rather believe all kinds of nonsense spewed by people who get paid and stay in power for keeping you riled up than tracking down the truth for yourself.
Delete11:03 is living truth that lying is contagious
DeleteAll this crap about impeachment all started because Trump beat queen Hillery and that sent the Democrats completely crazy and now they all belong in the friggin nut house.
ReplyDeleteSenate will be MUCH more FUN when then , Republicans
ReplyDeleteGet Their Turn !!!! Stay Tuned !!!! Trump 2020
Yeah.
ReplyDeleteYou don't have a horse in this race.
You have a whole herd of them.
DON'T try to present yourself as impartial and just reviewing the "facts".
Your horse keeps looking at you like "WTF"???
Are you in the Schumer or Pelosi family??
Signed, but not "anonymous".
Lol, get the commie
DeleteYour use of the English language suggests you should be around 70-80 years old with no formal education and clearly no knowledge of how our government works.
DeleteQuit avoiding the actual subject & name calling. Or is this how you “debate” an issue? LOL
DeleteI get the feeling The Frederick News Post is a biased newspaper and against President Trump. Typical Liberal news media.

Yep! Exactly!
When am I going to see more in my paychecks !
ReplyDeleteJoin a Union and they will do the negotiating for you
DeleteWe all know Mr Trump was better than Hillary.
ReplyDeleteNo question about it.
Especially after she died on Sept 11, 2016.
So we will believe absolutely nothing bad about him. We will now worship him like a god. He truly is the best thing since sliced bread. Forget about Chabad and Kushner. Forget about the Russian Jewish mafia who has funded him and his father for the past 50 years. Forget about all of his bankruptcies and taking advantage of working class tradesmen in Atlantic City. Forget about his close friendship with the Clintons and attending their daughter’s wedding. Forget about his financing of Bill Clinton’s campaigns.
We love Mr Trump!
Guess what? Even after all that, DJT is still better then the rest of them Crooks.
DeleteSo, the answer is Yes.
Keep America Great 2020!
9:25
DeleteYou are kidding right?
This guy tried his best to show you the truth. And that is all you’ve got?
Sad
And unintelligent.
BASELESS CHARGES = Charges in NAME ONLY !! = 000
ReplyDeleteNo Proof / No Evidence / No NOTHING = NOTHING !!!
He Blows away Polls as in 2016 & even better in 2020 !!!
ReplyDeletejust in on Facebook > If Senate does not get case from
ReplyDeletePelosi then , Trump's TERM is Nullified , and he gets 2 more Terms allowed !!!! WOW That would make Dems
commit SUICIDE !!!
2 More Terms for Trump >> I LOVE it !!!! Make it happen
Just in on Facebook? You some kind of bigfoot hunter or something?
Delete4:29
ReplyDeleteI see what you are doing.
Sly fox is what you are
Hiding the truth in plain sight
9:16 hmmm, educate us on what part of what 1103 said was a lie
ReplyDeleteSupreme Court is going to decide what will ALL be thrown
ReplyDeleteOUT since the Democrats have screwed up !!
It's going to be FUN to watch now because Dems have put
ReplyDeletethemselves in a corner between a Rock & a Hardplace !!!!
Either way > THEY LOOSE CHECKMATE !!!!
Charges for ALL Democrats forthcoming !!! LOL LOL
ReplyDeleteThey just Trapped themselves !!!!
It isn't an impeachment until it has gone to the Senate; it's only an expensive partisan whinefest.
ReplyDeleteI wish I was Papa Walton and could take ever single one of you out back behind the barn !! Bickering and arguing fighting back and forth on all these blogs ! Gezzzzzzz grow up AND let it go !
ReplyDeleteAs evidenced in the Mueller report ,...Trump is above the law. Impeachment is the only route when a President is committing a crime or abuse of power. If the partisan Trump supporters cannot see this I am , as and American, truly sorry as a Patriot
ReplyDelete9:30 soooo let me get this straight. 2 1/2 years of investigating and 32 million spent on said investigation and no wrong doing was found. So how was he above the law? Funny you don’t mention Comey, Page, Wray or Strozk and the abuses of power they committed. 🤔 Feeling patriotic about a corrupt FBI? You’re no patriot just a very blind sheep. Been a long 3 years hasn’t it sparky? 😂
