Stantis, it was NIXON who resigned rather than face certain impeachment and conviction. After Nixon resigned in disgrace, Republicans* were obsessed with impeaching a Democrat. They finally found something with Clinton and Monica — the original witch hunt.
Reagan SHOULD have been impeached and convicted for approval of Iran/Contra, then lying about it. Of course, by that time all Republicans* had sworn allegiance doctrine of It’s OKAY If A Republican* does it.
That doctrine was invoked virtually every day since and especially when Trump was in office.
I have no doubts that should republicans retake the House in the midterms they’ll make an attempt to impeach Biden. For what exactly ? Right now they’re trying to make the pullout from Afghanistan look criminal rather than bungled. When trump made the deal with the Taliban (what was he thinking ?) he painted the United States into a corner and President Biden had to abide by the terms agreed to. I still give credit for getting 123,000 people airlifted to safety. Meanwhile back at home we have to now deal with the American Taliban, MAGA Republicans
Actually, doing that to Clinton – for lying about cheating on his wife, of all trivial things – did that.
Trump was impeached for consorting with foreign powers, and inciting an attack on the United States and her Constitutional system. Not only impeachable offenses, but offenses that REQUIRE impeachment.
“Yes, Winslow, if one overlooks the crimes that led to the impeachments, and ignores the real damage they did to the nation, then the two cases are EXACTLY the same. Even more exactly if you also overlook the characters of the respective Presidents. You see, there’s nothing that can’t be made to look similar if you are willing to overlook enough details.”
Not impeaching Trump would have meant that a POTUS could do what ever he wanted and it would not be illegal. Not convicting Trump means we will have the highest corruption in the highest office of the land. The Republicans may have destroyed the Republic.
Republican see…Republican do. Among their least charming attributes is an almost complete lack of originality. Almost as bad as their animus towards the constitution of the United States.
A lot of talk about President Trump being impeached. Was he actually impeached? NO! He was Acquitted two times, the Democratic Party couldn’t lie enough to get him wrongly impeached. Give it up people. You got nothin. But for your guy Whispering Joe that is a whole new kettle if fish, will your party find a way to replace him? I bet they do, he resigns, his medical condition something. We will see!
Trump was nowhere near the first president that was the subject of impeachment talks. He’s just the first one who gave them so much REASON for talking about it.

Iseau’s been doing a lot of tap dancing around this grotesque misstatement, so I thought I’d preserve it just to make clear what an unambiguous falsehood it was.
To kip and all your other Band Members I said at least twice my wording was in error something you and the others would never admit to. However the end result I intended to convey was correct “acquitted”! You seem to enjoy this, well so do I! Any one with an open mind and an ounce of sense who reads this exchange will see how utterly devoid of common sense you and the other leftist commentators are. It looks like I was the only supporter of President Trump to comment on the particular cartoon. And that I am loathe to admit conveys a sad commentary on the conservative Right. TaTa for now it’s been interesting if not fun.

No you are not right Carmen, Biden is not impeached!
Your statement of “would lead to every President after being impeached” is only a theoretical and is not actual!

A lot of presidents who truly deserved impeachment didn’t even get a slap on the wrist, like Nixon, Reagan, and Bush Jr.
