tRump is the 1st to be impeached during his 1st term.

None of the other three POTUSes who were impeached had that status. He made history alright. Of course he is humiliated.

Hundreds of Thousands Expected to Join 'Historic Nationwide Mobilization' on Eve of Trump Impeachment Vote

"The night before the House of Representatives takes a historic vote to impeach Trump," progressive groups said of the anticipated action, "we'll head to every congressional office and public square to declare that nobody is above the law."

A coalition of progressive advocacy groups on Friday announced plans for a "historic nationwide mobilization" across the U.S. on the eve of the House's yet-to-be-scheduled vote on articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump.

Hundreds of thousands of people are expected to take to the streets around the country, said the "Nobody Is Above the Law" coalition, which includes MoveOn, Public Citizen, Indivisible, and Stand Up America, as well as more than a dozen other organizations.

The House Judiciary Committee is expected to vote on articles of impeachment against President Trump on Thursday, ahead of a vote by the full House of Representatives next week. Democrats charged Mr. Trump with abuse of power and obstruction of Congress as they accused him of violating the Constitution by pressuring Ukraine for help in the 2020 election.

The vote is expected to fall along party lines, with no Republicans in support of impeachment (here’s a guide to the impeachment process). The New York Times began surveying members and collecting public statements on the articles on Wednesday.

What Democrats Have Said So Far
Some Democrats have said they are still evaluating the articles of impeachment, but none have come out against them so far......

About BigmanPigman

I am 57, retired teacher and illustrator, life-long dem., activist, union member. Also I do not use social media and I'm technologically retarded. I love dogs, rock music and swearing (a lot). My 17 year old "puppy" died on June 2, 2020. She grew up listening to Animals (Pink Floyd). She has kept me sane through the tRump years, not easy, and has given me endless love, companionship, kisses and tail wags.
