The Slow March Toward Impeachment: Trump Log #28

We do seem to be on a road to impeachment of our President. We must remember for a president to be removed from office, not only does he need to be found guilty by the House of Representative, but the Senate as well. We have had two presidents that have been impeached by the House, Bill Clinton and Andrew Johnson, but both of them were acquitted by the Senate and finished their term as president. With both Houses of Congress being the same party as the president, the evidence against him will have to be overwhelming and it will have to be up to us, the people, to urge our representatives to remove him. It is hard to believe that this will happen until after the mid-terms, but we can dream. Can we not?

The man fell down a rabbit hole and lives in some alternative reality, but there are still people who say is the only one who understands and will help them...people who are not paying too much attention. He certainly was in hog heaven with the reception he got in Saudi Arabia.

his reception in Saudi Arabia certainly must have fed his ego.
