I seem to recall the last time impeachment was used, and it was for an actual bogus reason.

And yet, despite the ludicrous basis for the entire impeachment affair, no one on our side ever threatened civil war.

Ever.

Instead, we basically just tapped our feet like exasperated parents of a toddler throwing a tantrum while saying, "Are you done yet?", until the toddler eventually tired himself out.

And that was it. No raging, no screaming, nothing.



And honestly, in the end, Bill Clinton was still all too nice about it. But God bless him for it.

Trump has never governed one single day the entire time in office and nothing will change now. All he does is throw tantrums and spew lies.

And Mueller was limited in his investigations. Also, instead of being publicized, the Mueller Report was redacted. Does anyone else see a double standard?
