BREAKING - Trump Still Impeached

Impeachment of Donald J. Trump Still in Effect

12/26/2019 - Washington, D.C.
by Newsy Ladee

Despite Donald Trump's Tweets, the President of the United States is still under the cloud of impeachment. A Senate trial of him still remains to be scheduled. Expectations are that it will occur sometime in January of 2020. Mr. Trump apparently does not believe that he has been impeached, however, and continues to attack and insult Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and House Democrats, apparently in hopes that he is not really impeached. The impeachment, however, stands.

Tell him you can be impeached by the House, only if you lost the popular vote...He'd have a sh#t fit...

Impeachment is the function of the House of Representatives. Trump was impeached by that body. Period. The trial remains to be held, and it will be held. The Constitution demands it. It will happen.

even if this impasse were to stretch into 2020 Trump would still be impeached. even after the senate acquits trump he will still be impeached. it's a done thing.

These are the same people who believed that Hillary had a hole in her tongue, that she had a brain concussion with only 6 months to live, that her and Podesta ran a pedophile ring out of a pizza shop basement that didn't have a basement.

Of course they believe that Trump hasn't been impeached.

i mean i don't know if they really believe it but if they are real people, i assume they heard it on fox so feel more or less duty bound to catapult it.
sigh. fox has stolen their ability to think. i have close family members - a brother and a sister - who fall into this category.

The “baffle ‘em with bullshit” strategy. Muddy the waters. Muck things up. Mess things up. Cloud the issue. Confuse and distract. Attack. Attack here, there, and everywhere. And everything. Look! Over there somewhere! It’s like a bigtime “three-card Monty” sidewalk con game that stumps chumps all the time every day.

Stump the trump chumps! Hey - I kinda like that!

Stump the trump chumps. They’re easy. They’re total pushovers. Suckers - the kind every con man looks for, and lives for. They’re pre-owned like so many clunkers on the used car lot. They’ll swallow anything he feeds them, including shit. And if he can just get enough of ‘em...

But make no mistake (and certainly DO NOT listen to the fog horn or look into the spew of the fog machine)! He is impeached. He has been impeached.

He.

Is.

Impeached.

And the impeachment STANDS. ON the record. In all the history books. For all time. No matter what the Senate does or how it votes.

And I could be mistaken but I think this just might be the first time in his life that he’s ever been held accountable for ANYTHING.

My husband just said we should start referring to him as “donald Impeached Trump”! You could easily make a capital “T” into an “I” - just by adding a small horizontal line to the bottom of the capital “T” - to match the one at the top of the vertical line.

Irump.

saying Trump isn't impeached until the house sends it to the Senate. Which of course is bullshit but that's what they're hanging their maga hats on.

The House and Senate operate independently of each other. Each has its own functions. The function of the House includes impeaching Presidents, according to the Constitution. Once they do, the Senate holds a trial. The two things are as different as a Grand Jury and a Courtroom. There's a relationship, but different functions.
