Bruce Castor’s meanderings at the start of the impeachment trial

Anyone can be charged.  The end result is what counts, and the Dems were Unsuccessful in the end.  That is what matters, not that he was impeached.  

That is the legacy, one of anger and raging hatred.  That defines Democrats and their followers.

They tried 15 different ways to get him out of office. 

Impeachment is nothing really until it achieves its goal, and they couldn't possibly have satiated their anger and their hatred, because he was already gone.  

It was all a shit show, put on by shitheads on the left, to satisfy the shitheads in their party.  wink
Fine, but the discussion at hand is "what is the definition of impeachment" and "was Trump impeached"?  I think everyone here (and everywhere else for that matter) with the notable exception of one, agrees on the answer to those two questions.

Maybe Greg should read what you posted and learn something. Instead we get his opinion of impeachment as fact. 
Bingo!

Those shitheads are the Democrat party members, the angry, hateful Democrat voters.

They prove what angry, hateful human beings they collectively are every single time some conservative of prominence dies.  They are hateful human beings with hate and vengeance in their hearts. 

We saw it when Herman Cain Died, we saw it when Rush Limbaugh recently died.  

The Democrat party in General enjoys very much and is Giddy to dance on someone's grave.

Their actions epitomize who they are. 

P.S.  Oh and they failed to convict him...... again.  
Once again, you're off topic. You're actually trying to use the word "matter" as a segway into your tired old rant about the evil democrats and your hatred of everyone to the political left of you.  You repeat this schtick day in and day out, week after week and year after year. It's tired, boring, and repetitious. Give it a rest - you'll never convince anyone to think like you.

The facts are that there are no more vindictive, hateful, angry people on this planet than leftist Democrats.

They live to grind people into the ground and they enjoy dancing on the graves of right wing conservative politicians or anyone else who disagrees with them.

They ARE the cancel culture.  Republicans are not.

We see it minute by minute among them.

You cannot disagree with a Democrat about whether or not there is "systematic racism" in this country or its institutions or they will end you, you must be gone, you must be destroyed, completely and with finality.

You are not permitted to Disagree with them about essentially ANYTHING or they will make it their mission to not only end you, end your career, but to stomp you into the ground. 

They want to destroy you completely.  This is their nature.  Their obsession w/Trump is a perfect example.

A prime example is this is the gal who used to be an MMA fighter, Gina Carano, who was fired by Disney for making a comparison to the way the left attacks their enemies and the way that the Jews were destroyed in Pre WWII Germany.

She was cancelled, yet every Democrat who has ever used a reference to the Holocaust or has compared Donald Trump to Hitler is not only left alone but PRAISED by these scumbag Democrat Hypocrites.

That is an irrefutable fact.  

The Democrats and some here like Rod K. LIVE to see people on the right destroyed completely and ground into the pavement.  

It gives him a HIGH the way runners and other athletes get an endorphin HIGH.  

This IS the modern day Democrat party.  

They simply cannot be happy to see this person or that person out of office.  

They like to see people DEAD.   They are giddy about it.

My guess is that when Rod K. Found out that Rush Limbaugh died, he probably went into a closet and did some self-gratification.

The left has been dancing on his grave for days.  

And the idea that Donald Trump was NOT convicted instills hatred in their souls.  

They cannot handle being satisfied that he's gone.

If he was murdered tomorrow, the left would have a parade.

That is leftism at its core.  
Like I said; tired, boring, and repetitious. Why are you so fixated on the left? You're like a one-dimensional cartoon character.

You don't seem to understand the definition of "semantics" either, if that's what you really want to think.

Emphasis on "want to".

Ted Cruz vacations in Cancun while his state freezes in the dark...

Here's the question for the 3rd time:

Are you upset and as angry as everyone else is with Andrew Cuomo and what it appears to be, a Cover up of Gigantic proportions that may just end his career as a governor?

Now I don't care whether or not you are angry and/or upset with Ted Cruz.

Are you capable of answering the question above, or do you want to continue to dodge and change the subject?

Umm... there were many things that were essentially proven.  He came on and made excuses for his lies in the reporting of the ACTUAL numbers.

He threatened another DEMOCRAT Congressman in NY State, if he didn't say what Andrew Cuomo wanted him to say.  He told him he could end said Congressman's career.  

But since you'll try to dodge again, FOCUS like a laser beam on the following direct question

Are you upset and as angry as everyone else is with Andrew Cuomo and what it appears to be, a Cover up of Gigantic proportions that may just end his career as a governor?
Definition: Drama Queen

People who like to blow everything totally out of proportion because they either :
a) Seek attention
b) Have some emotional dysfunction and it's their duty to make life harder for everyone around them
c) Just simply can't get over it
d) Extremely miserable and insecure
e) All of the above

Does that cover it for you?
That is downright pathetic. If you truly understood the meaning of semantics, you would have described it in your own words instead of plagiarizing it word for word from this: https://www.lexico.com/en/definition/semantics

It really doesnt get any simpler 
Yes it does, and you're wrong. Did you know that the senate has its own web page?  You should check it out - they provide a definition of impeachment which in no way agrees with your definition. They even list those presidents who have been impeached to date. There are three of them, and Trump twice. Somehow I don't think the senate's web page definition of impeachment is wrong and your definition is right.

By the way, where are you getting your definition of impeachment from?  I've looked all over and every source I look at defines it the same way (opposite of yours).

Here is a good list of prominent officials who have been impeached:  https://history.house.gov/Institution/Impeachment/Impeachment-List/  Note our friends WJC and DJT listed as "Impeached."   With respect to Trump, the freaking House of Representatives states unambiguously: 

"Donald J. Trump President of the United States Impeached December 18, 2019, on charges of abuse of power and obstruction of Congress"  

"Donald J. Trump President of the United States Impeached January 13, 2021, on the charge of incitement of insurrection."

The last word of the House or Representatives is probably not good enough for Greg. 

Here is the actual second impeachment of Trump: https://www.congress.gov/bill/117th-congress/house-resolution/24/text

"Resolved, That Donald John Trump, President of the United States, is impeached for high crimes and misdemeanors and that the following article of impeachment be exhibited to the United States Senate..."  https://www.congress.gov/bill/117th-congress/house-resolution/24/text

Interestingly, Rich knows that Greg is wrong since he and I have discussed the two step process of impeachment followed by trial in the Senate.  One thing is sure, Rich is a team player because he has been conspicuously absent from this discussion, even though he knows Greg is wrong.  Is that honorable or not?  I'm not sure.

Jim
Hi Jim,

I'm curious though, if lots of people believe Greg's definition, where the hell are they getting it? I'm genuinely curious because I can't find it anywhere. It sounds like you have; I never heard that definition before Greg posted it.

As to Rich's silence - good. It's too tedious to sift through all the name-calling to try and find something reasonable.
