Three impeachments



Starting tomorrow morning - the public Trump impeachment testimony. I'm so ancient that this will be the third impeachment thingy that I have experienced.

I was in college when the televised Senate Watergate hearings took place (May 1973) and I mostly remember them because I had a part-time job at a tv repair shop ... all day, with hardly ever a customer, I watched the hearings to pass the time. I was (and still am) a Democrat and despised Nixon, so this was all good.

I was living here with my mom and my four cats when Clinton was impeached. I don't remember much about it - maybe I didn't want to delve into it since he was a Democratic president and also the Monica thing was icky. Looking back, I'm really disappointed in Clinton and I would have been happy to have him impeached, with Al Gore taking over, but of course that's not what happened. Now, whenever I think of him I can't help going to the knee-pad place ... ugh! :(

Now, with much more access to information, I am finally understanding what impeachment means and how the process works. I do believe Trump will be impeached by the House, but I doubt the spineless Republicans in the Senate will convict and remove Trump from office. More's the pity, for I think he deserves that even more than Nixon.

I don't think the Senate will actually convict and remove Trump from office either. But the facts will be laid out in a public manner, part of the record. I can't imagine that this won't hurt him in the election. And that would be a good thing.

Yes, it's important to get it all on the record, even if he's not removed. I've just started watching the hearings - interesting!
