How do you impeach a president who has won perhaps the greatest election of all time, done nothing wrong (no Collusion with Russia, it was the Dems that Colluded), had the most successful first two years of any president, and is the most popular Republican in party history 93%?

Red Herring/Non-sequitur--CHECK
Begging the Question--CHECK
Fallacy of Composition--CHECK
And that's on top of the flat out plain old lying.

BTW - doesnt capitalize President

(14,230 posts)Not to be that guy, but office titles such as president are only capitalized when in the context of someones name, e.g. President Obama. When simply referring to the office, titles are not capitalized.

(1,336 posts)You capitalize President if you are referring to "the" President. In this case, he just used the generic pronoun "a" -- which could mean any president.

(952 posts)Trump has likely committed the two enumerated offenses (treason and bribery), and countless other offenses that qualify under the third.

(952 posts)1) I'm no constitutional scholar
2) You point is valid
3) I suspect in terms of impeachment the more typical bribery case would be the government official accepting a bribe in return for favors in the form of government services that would not otherwise be provided.
The bribes I were thinking of included loans and construction approvals from Russian sources in exchange for reduction or elimination of government sanctions, and having Trump Tower Instanbul not seized in exchange for pulling the US military from Syria.
I'm sure there are many more. Sigh...

(36,227 posts)He's obviously talking about some hypothetical OTHER president !
NONE of the descriptions match, so OBVIOUSLY it wasn't meant to refer to him ! Very sad !

You invoke the 25th.

Timer
(71 posts)to try to imagine how the Mad Tweeter justifies in his mind the phrase "greatest election of all time." He has said so many false things about that election already in his War on Truth. And about everything else. Of course he claims to get wisdom from the Ultimate Source -- his gut, which is more knowledgeable than anyone.
Twenty-Fifth Amendment, please!
