While well meaning, as I believe Issa is retiring this year, it doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of things.

It is a wonderful trivia question, which I'm not asking tonight or in the near future:

Please name the THREE U.S. President's who have been impeached while in office.

It is easy for us intelligent life forms.

I thought it was because even the idiot DUers refused to bow to her all-knowing greatness. Regardless, I sure miss the Round Mound of Renown AND the fabricating mammary gland Tom.
It'd be good (if Tom is still on this side of the ground) if he and PCIntern would do a duo of fabricating bloviation together on DU. It might not go gold, but it would surely go pewter.

Here's the short version: Trump is Hitler suppressing freedom because he doesn't want pro-Palestinians on college campuses to intimidate and beat up Jews.

No shit huh  :-)

IIRC, Nads was a Bernie 'bot when the DUmp's powers that be demanded ideological purity for the Hillary camp.
I could be wrong, but that's what sticks in my wee noggin.

GOP lawmaker unveils historic move to 'expunge' both 'maliciously false' impeachments against Trump

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/gop-lawmaker-unveils-historic-move-expunge-maliciously-false-impeachments-trump

Quote
FIRST ON FOX: Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., has introduced a resolution aimed at reversing the two impeachments of President Donald Trump in the House of Representatives in a move he says will rectify a situation where Democrats used "knowingly false" claims in a partisan attempt to destroy the president’s reputation.

The resolution, H.Res.1211, referred to the House Judiciary Committee, declares that both of Trump’s impeachments, approved by the House in 2019 and 2021, should be formally "expunged as if such Article had never passed the full House of Representatives."

"The fact is that the Constitution doesn't spell out what to do when you've wrongfully indicted somebody," Issa told Fox News Digital. "An impeachment is basically an indictment and it's an indictment that you can't really be acquitted from. If you are impeached by the House, famously where do you go to get your reputation back, is the question,"

"And that’s sort of a problem that we're dealing with, which is that the president was wrongfully accused, the evidence is now out that there was withheld information and false information, but where do we go to unring this bell? And the answer is we go back to Congress and we go to the House floor and we have a vote."

"More importantly," Issa explained, is that he hopes his process will "make sure that the facts and the reality that there was misconduct in the process gets a hearing" because that’s "really where this becomes a big deal is that we really have to make our case in front of Congress and in front of the American people."

Reading into the USC what is not actually there, it leaves an impeachment as successful in removal or unsuccessful in removal. It has no provision for redress of false accusations.

The impeachments of Johnson and Clinton failed because the bases were deemed insufficiently serious. The Shampeachments of Trump were factually false, a fact that the Senate votes failed to recognize.

This'll have Dems going

Virginia Dems Appeal House Maps to the Supreme Court

Having apparently backed off their Bond-villain-plan to remove all of the Justices from the Virginia Supreme Court and replace them with new ones, it looks like Democrats have settled on a Hail Mary to the Supreme Court.

Quote
Virginia Democrats have filed an emergency appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court Monday in a last-ditch attempt to save redrawn congressional maps that could send four extra Democrats to the U.S. House, arguing that the state’s high court improperly overturned a redistricting referendum last week.

But some top Democrats express little hope that the appeal will affect this November’s congressional mid-terms and are pivoting to waging campaigns in the state’s existing districts.

In an interview, state Senate Majority Leader Scott Surovell (D-Fairfax) said “the practical realities of our election calendar” will prevent candidates from running in new maps even if conservative justices on the U.S. Supreme Court were open to helping Virginia Democrats.

Short of the USSC ruling that the common-sense standards of VA's Constitution are somehow somehow unconstitutional or some arcane nonsense-definition of the start of an election, this is a stupid waste of $$. I did not see in the WashPost article whether the $$ wasted is the Dem Party's or the $$ of the citizens of VA.

We need more scientific research to figure out how to turn beta male progressives into real men.

I'm told - by a certain super genius who wishes to remain anonymous - that tying them to a gigantic bottle rocket (Acme stock number: RKT-359171H) and lighting the fuse is certain to do the trick...

Dam Break in PA? Supreme Court Judge Dumps Dems Over 'Jew-Hatred'

Democrats worked hard three years ago to keep Pennsylvania state Supreme Court Judge David Wecht in office. They have worked even harder to alienate him ever since.

In a statement last night, Wecht announced that he would cease to identify as a Democrat. Graham Platner turned out to be one Totenkopf over the line, but Wecht's disillusionment with his former party goes well beyond the Left's 'good Nazi.' Far from being anomalous, Wecht argued that their embrace of "Jew-hatred" has made it a mainstream attribute in the Democrat Party:
...
Wecht doesn't sugar-coat his exit either. Rather than offer a soft approach with an ambiguous reference to 'shiffing values' as a reason, Wecht accuses his former party of deliberately embracing "Jew-hatred" and mainstreaming it:

Quote
"In 1998, my wife and I were married at Pittsburgh’s Tree of Life Congregation, on whose Board of Trustees I served. Twenty years later, in the very same sanctuary where our wedding occurred, the worst massacre of Jews in American history was perpetrated. That terror came from the right. Jew-hatred has always festered on the fringe of that sector.

"In the years that have followed, that same hatred has grown on the left. Increasingly, it has moved from the fringe to the mainstream. It is the duty of all good people to fight this virus, and to do so before it is too late . ...

"From 1998 to 2001, years that preceded my judicial career, I served as Vice-Chair of the Pennsylvania Democratic Party. In the quarter century that has passed since then, the Democratic Party has changed. Nazi tattoos, jihadist chants, intimidation and attacks at synagogues, and other hateful anti-Jewish invective and actions are minimized, ignored, and even coddled. Acquiescence to Jew-hatred is now disturbingly common among activists, leaders and even many elected officials in the Democratic Party.

"I can no longer abide this. So, I won’t. I am no longer registered within any political party.

WRT his comment that mass-killer Robert Bowers "came from the right", it would have been more accurate to say that Bower came from the cesspool at the end of "right-wing" that is as rejected by the mainstream "right" as it is by the "left". An example of the "right" rejecting those cesspoolians would be Trump's visit to Tree of Life.

IMO, the "left" very obviously has its own correspondingly crazed cesspool, but has embraced many of those cesspoolians, and that embrace is the cause of Wecht's move.

I'm sure there probably are some leftitsts who have fled the U.S., only to find that their new intended home country either a) wasn't as great as they'd been led to believe, or b) wasn't very welcoming.

I give you 'Exhibit "A"'...
