over his sexual sins in the oval office are why we have endless investigations and division?

At the time I was mad at Clinton lying to us "I did not have sex with that woman".. then he lied under oath about it.

I thought if he can get away with this this is such a badd example for our young people."we must make an example out of him"

But looking back on it I see that even though it's disappointing our leader would betray the first lady and lie to us, it's not worthy of punishable removal from office. Not impeachable offense

Our Congress is stuck in perpetual tic for tac.

How do we move forward?

Perjury on the other hand, which you stated before, is an actual crime, not the made up mickey mouse bullshite we see before us today

exactly. One can debate whether or not it was a big enough deal to impeach over but at least it was an actual crime. This crap is just partisan whining

No, it's not about Clinton; it's bout Trump. The Dems have lost their minds and have been looking to impeach Trump even before he was sworn in.

If it was all about getting revenge on the GOP, the Dems would have impeached W.

Clinton was very fortunate that happened in 1998-99 and not today.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that banging your intern in your office is more severely frowned upon now.

I say it often in here; Poll tests.

The electorate is the problem. The politicians are a symptom. Because of our dumb electorate, the government has gotten entirely too large and powerful, so of course psychopaths....er, politicians, are going to fight like hell to have a part of that kind of power.

"As long as it is admitted that the law may be diverted from its true purpose — that it may violate property instead of protecting it — then everyone will want to participate in making the law, either to protect himself against plunder or to use it for plunder. Political questions will always be prejudicial, dominant, and all-absorbing. There will be fighting at the door of the Legislative Palace, and the struggle within will be no less furious." - Frederic Bastiat

Even though he broke the law, I actually agree with you. I never thought he should be impeached for that because it had nothing to do with his job performance. He should've been impeached for selling nuclear secrets to the Chinese

Here you go. Clinton was a relatively moderate President compared to the commie filth the Dem's are running out there now.

That's not why he was impeached. He was impeached for lying under oath.


A President who knowingly lies under oath. The senate failed us he should have been removed.


The fact that he wasn't is a testament to how effective the fake news media and their propaganda truly is.

Extra-marital affairs, not withstanding those committed in the Whitehouse, put the people committing in a position to be compromised. At the first discovery of the affair, until the point it was made public, HRC became the most powerful person on Earth. Lying about it under oath is very impeachable, as it leads one to believe that the adulterer has been compromised.
FWIW: was JFK compromised? How did RFK feel about it?

Bill Clinton was in fact subject to endless investigations/attacks. Whether any or all had merit is besides the point, he was under constant attack.

Dems were probably going to retaliate as soon as they could against the next GOP President, but then 9/11 happened and everyone was compelled to unite for a brief moment in time. Trump is really the first good opportunity the Dems have to get back for what Clinton went through. Of course, that’s not the sole driving factor with all of this, but I believe it is indeed a factor at play.

Multiple felonies and suborned perjury by Clinton and his council. Trump’s impeachment is not payback for Clinton. It would have happened anyway because they HATE him. Dems, rinos, and media.

So Clinton’s crimes did not rise to high crimes based on Senate vote. But make no mistake, what happened to Clinton was NOT partisan. Trump’s impeachment is clearly partisan.

Was not an impeachment charge!!!!!!

PERJURY that a judge found him guilty of was the first charge. A felony crime that caused him to be barred from arguing before SCOTUS and forfeiture of his law license.

Even moreso raping one of your supporters. Still interesting to me how he continues to get away with that one. With certainty, if he spoke at a pink pussy rally today, he would receive and extended standing ovation. Neither side has any principles whatsoever. Trump - America's id personified - has clarified that for all of us.

False.

We have division because of the liberal media. They are shite stirrers. If the liberal media were a person in a small town and all he did was go around all day pitting one group against another, the people of that community would tar and feature that frick and kick his arse out of town. The liberal media is purveyors of poison.

He wasn't impeached for having an intern suck his cock. He was impeached for Perjury or lying under oath or sum such.

Nixon wasn't going to be impeached for the Watergate break in, which he didn't know about first hand.....he was going to be impeached for lying and attempting to cover it up after the fact.

I think he is speaking about members in his own party voting to impeach when he said

whereas Trump's impeach was partisan, no republican voted to impeach
