Pelosi Blasts Trump For Firing Vindman And Reminds Him Hes Still Impeached Forever
Speaker Nancy Pelosi called the firing of Lt. Col. Vindman sad and shameful but reminded Trump that he would be impeached forever.
Speaker Pelosi said in a statement provided to PoliticusUSA:
President Trump is impeached forever. The shameful firing of Colonel Vindman was a clear and brazen act of retaliation that showcases the Presidents fear of the truth. The Presidents vindictiveness is precisely what led Republican Senators to be accomplices to his cover-up. The firing of this patriotic soldier is a sad and shameless loss for Americas security.
History will remember Lieutenant Colonel Vindman as an American hero.
Trumps Friday night massacre is all about trying to get revenge against those who testified against him at the impeachment hearings. Trump also thinks that he can get his impeachment expunged.
Speaker Pelosi was right. Trumps actions were shameful. Col. Vindman is a hero, and Donald Trump is still impeached.

Damn, she's good.
I hope we all just keep this out in the open and label him with it forever. Impeached Forever!

(740 posts)Trump a man with no honor. One man who is a real patriot and one who has sold America out.

(11,996 posts)It gives him excuse to be as petty as he wants to be.
Hes using impeachment/acquittal like a trophy. And as justification for being a complete ass.

(14,275 posts)But at least we can confidently, accurately, and repeatedly refer to Trump forever as a corrupt, failed, impeached president.

That's it. That's all there is to impeachment. The constitution does not grant a power to "unimpeach" or to"expunge impeachment".
One is impeached and then one is put on trial. If found guilty, one is removed from office. Either way, impeachment happened and that bell cannot be unrung.

When the congress is filled with morally and intellectually weak sell-outs, this is what we end up with.

(33,414 posts)Lots of Democrats stood up, individually and together, to confront the unfit, impeached one. Speaker Pelosi and the House managers all tried to provide a protective shield to the Republicans, but only one was brave enough to come forward to confront their abuser. McConnell was just too weak and cowardly to lead his caucus to safety.
