Republicans: "What? A Democratic president got a beej from a consenting adult in a private, personal affair? Let's crucify that horrific son of a bitch." Also Republicans: "Our Republican president has committed the arguably treasonous act of involving another government in our elections to attempt to undermine and negate any competition? Literally no evidence you can present of the mountains you clearly have can ever convince me he could have done that, and even if he did... so what? No biggie."

Don't forget that the Speaker of the House was cheating on his second (?) wife at the time, and the Majority Leader of the Senate was paying off someone he sexually abused as a minor. But yeah, blowjobs.

Can someone clear something up. Even if they vote to impeach tonight. It still has to go through the Senate right?

It then moves to the Senate where they will vote on whether to remove him from office. Well, right, sorry. What I meant was, Trump isn't going to be removed from office based on today's vote, which is how I read the question. It's possible I misread what was actually being asked.

I'm going to sound incredibly naive saying this, but I don't think I've ever quite seen first hand what it truly means to be a Washington DC politician in quite such a revealing way as today. Maybe I just don't pay enough attention to politics but wow.

CyberPingu posted:Yeah I didn't word it great. But what I meant was does impeachment go through the Senate. Not removal. Ah okay. Yeah in that case, no, impeachment is solely a power of the House. If/when they vote to impeach, Trump is officially impeached. That doesn't really do anything except tell the Senate to hold a trial and vote on whether to remove him from office, though. I'm personally not all that clear on whether the Senate has to do anything, though, or if impeaching the president just enables them to.

And if it did happen, it wasn't that bad. And if it was bad, it's still not a big deal. And if it's a big deal, it's not his fault, he's too dumb to have known what he was doing. And if he knew what he was doing, he didn't mean it, it was just a joke. And if he meant it, Biden deserved it.
