Sex, cigar and the stain on a blue dress was the reason Clinton was impeached. That was a threat to NATIONAL SECURITY! WHAT PART? THE CIGAR?

They say it was becaue he lied to Congress when he said he did not have sex with "that woman" and that "it depends on what is is". Very threatening. Very top secret classified jeopardy for our nation. No wonder the pols then were shaking in their boots and bonded together to SAVE OUR COUNTRY!

So now what the Don don is accused of is super tiny itsey bitsy teensy eensy small potatoes compared to the sex, blue dress, cigar and telling congress nothing happened. All of it. Paddidly.
Treason. Traitor. Consorting with the enemy. Sabotaging your country giving the enemy classified information.Suborning election meddling by a foreign enemy by saying it never happened because Putin said it never happened and he was firm and I believe him. Innocent as a lamb. Pure as the driven snow. An excellent human being who cannot be improved upon since he is already perfect!

So I don't blame y'all for being so ticked off that your boy has been constrained from presidenting as he wished but now with billybarrROYCOHN in charge it will all go away and y'all can get back to your rallies and cheering LOCK HER UP and MEXICO WILL BUILD THE WALL knowing your innocent prez will be free and clear of any jail time forever more. Y'all are so very lucky to be whom you are. Aren'tcha? Get all your ducks in a row. Lard all courts with extreme right-wing WHITE NATIONALIST judges. Control the press. Attack those who don't agree with you and make them go away.

You wanted to Make America Great Again! Congrats! You done it. Take your laps. Y'all earned it.

    The lying under oath in a courtroom (not to Congress) part.

    Clinton gave a sworn deposition on January 17, 1998, where he denied having a "sexual relationship", "sexual affair" or "sexual relations" with Lewinsky. He also denied that he was ever alone with her. His lawyer, Robert S. Bennett, stated with Clinton present that Lewinsky's affidavit showed that there was no sex in any manner, shape or form between Clinton and Lewinsky. The Starr Report states that the following day, Clinton "coached" his secretary Betty Currie into repeating his denials should she be called to testify.

    THE threat was his HORRID JUDGMENT.

    Do not pin any roses on that schmuck.  He was a weasel.

    How could anyone gamble their reputation and everyone else's in the country who supported him by acting in this manner.  You do not take an AID and screw her in the oval office or wherever he did that.  He did it in the White House.  HOW SICK IS THAT?

    It definitely was compromising all of us.  HE MAKES ME SICK TO THIS DAY.  He let down Hilary, who believed in him and his own daughter.  I'm sorry.  He got exactly what he deserved.  He's still backpeddling and lying about it.

    Apparently I did not make my point. I did not justify a sleazebag. I simply compared a sleazebag to a treasonous traitor and ridiculed those who believed Clinton DESERVED being impeached and Dondon doesn't. Also the dame was an adult and should have known better. It takes TWO TO TANGO. Unless she was RAPED she consented. So they are two adults who engaged in sex. Isn't that AWFUL? ISN'T that earthshatteringly evil? Isn't that reprehensible? Sheesh. If you saw any justification in what I wrote you and I are not in the same universe. Not on this one. Not remotely. Not at all. You were a superb WHATABOUT. You will be supported by folks with whom you are usually at odds. Not this time. This time they love you. Me? Not so much. This post was edited by RosieG at April 9, 2019 8:41 AM MDT

    I agree. There is NO excuse for what he did.  And then he lies?  I have no respect for him.  He did a much better job on any one day than TRUMP has done in his entire reign.  But that doesn't excuse the fact that the day he did that scandal with Monica?  He weakened our country and we are still recovering.  He made it possible for a TRUMP to even be in the White House.

    This is a weird case.
    I actually do not think he should have been impeached for it. If they wanted to get him for perjury and obstruction, they should have waited until he was out of office. And reserve impeachment for things involving the government. 

    My personal economy is much better under Trump than any other President. And the economic stats match that as well for that at least the last 4 or 5 Presidents.

    The way it was done and the manner it was done was ridiculous. But he should have KNOWN when he was unzipping, that this is the WORST idea imaginable.  And if that did not cross his mind?  He has no business NONE being the leader of the Nation.  BAD DECISIONS weaken this country.  AS YOU KNOW from daily bad decisions since 2016.

    Your personal economy does NOT interest me. Nor your idea that this makes it okay for TRUMP to even rule in that spot.  ANY PRESIDENT would have your economy soaring right now.  YOU KNOW WHY?  NOT BECAUSE OF TRUMP.  BECAUSE OF OBAMA.

    I don't care if my personal economy DOUBLED.  I have a conscience.  I would be so ashamed if I felt I gained from TRUMP when I know what he is doing to everyone.  

    You read the Bible.  How many silver coins are you willing to collect to sell out? 

    I don't want anyone leading me for any reason when they are liars. Clinton lied.  TRUMP MAKES CLINTON'S LIES tiny.  That is how Clinton set the bar.  Now we have to see how far we can go making the bar even lower?   TRUMP has set it so low there is no way to make it lower.

    Realistically, at the point of unzipping, I suspect the occurrence of rational thought is realistically no longer likely.

    That was back when we knew and understood that the personal philosophy of the person who is president is probably the only thing that will prevent him from doing significant damage to American principles and institutions.

    Trump supporters either lost or now denigrate the importance of that reality.

     Alexis de Tocqueville, 1805 - 1859 

    “What do [nations] lack to be free? What? The very desire to be so. Do not ask me to analyze this sublime desire, it must be felt… One must give up on making this comprehensible to mediocre souls who have never felt it.”

    Clinton was not impeached.  The House brought Articles of Impeachment, but the Senate never convicted him.  Was what he did with Monica Lewinsky wrong?  Yes, 100%.  Did he lie to Congress?  Yes.  Did his actions or lying rise to the level of compromising national security?  No.  

    Actions that Trump has taken could conceivably rise to the level of compromising national security, along with members of his administration.  Speaking on unsecured phones, using unsecure email accounts - those are possible breaches of national security.  And don't bring up Hilary Clinton and her emails.  What she did or didn't do is irrelevant to what Trump is doing now.

    yes he was

    Bill Clinton, the 42nd President of the United States, was initiated and impeached in December 1998 by the United States House of Representatives and led to a trial in the Senate on two charges, one of perjury and one of obstruction of justice.

        Three presidents and countless scandals later, the impeachment of President Bill Clinton on Dec. 19, 1998, may seem like a relic of a different time. But that day 20 years ago remains an extraordinary moment in American history — Clinton became only the second president ever to be impeached when, in the wake of his affair with a 22-year-old White House intern, the House of Representatives formally accused him of perjury and obstruction of justice.

        The Senate acquitted Clinton two months later, but for the time being he faced the possibility of becoming the first president to be convicted and removed from office.

        Twenty years later, impeachment continues to loom over American politics as the most extreme way a president or other official can be punished for bad behavior in office. However, as the process has played out in public so few times, how it actually works may be less well known.

    I said articles of impeachment were brought against him.  He was not convicted by the Senate which is probably why he finished out his term of office.
