It was only three presidencies ago that the House set out to “remove a duly elected president from office.”

And it seems like just yesterday that the House plotted to “overturn the will of the American voters.”

The arguments now being made against impeaching Donald Trump are identical to those used during the impeachment trial of Bill Clinton.

President Trump is being accused of extortion, bribery, obstruction and profiteering from being in office. Not to mention using campaign money to pay off porn stars. Not good.

An impeachment inquiry is a painful but necessary step in investigating a president’s conduct. It may or may not lead to impeachment.

Our Founding Fathers wanted us to impress upon our presidents that Dear Leader Kim may be above the law, but they are not.

  • Pat, you are right that impeachment is serious. Yesterday's tweeted abuse of Marie Yovanovich was horrific. It was also a frightening demonstration of a powerful man's reckless temper.

    • Seems that every week there are two or three new revelations about Donald Trump and Trump associates who are twisting and outright breaking the law. This is not normal.
