Finally the Orange has been impeached although from what i can see, it doesn't actually mean anything apart from the ignominy of being only the third President to suffer it in American history.
As it now moves to the Republican dominated Senate, the big lump will not be removed from office although he will forever carry the stain on his record of pressuring a foreign government to interfere in a US election for his own personal political gain.
It also seems strange that they have got him on obstruction of the impeachment process and abuse of power when he has been guilty of far worse, namely the string of sexual assaults he boasted of and his awful decision to withdraw from the Paris Accord despite the catastrophic climate change happening as his own country floods and burns.
Then there is the not so hidden racism and his tacit support for extreme right wing groups and withdrawing from the Iran deal which seem much stronger reasons for taking him out of the seat of power but they seem to have gone with something altogether less serious.
Of course it is political, the way that almost every Democrat voted yes to impeaching him while almost every Republican voted no is as expected and nobody is expecting him to be removed from office, thanks to the protection of Republicans in the Senate.
It should be a no-brainer, Donald Trump personifies unfit for office but as the end result is a foregone conclusion, seems a nice bit of theatre and he will go in the history books with a large asterisk beside his blackened name but it seems little else will change.
They should have gone for removing him for being a sex pest, hard for him to deny it when it was him who admitted it and you would hope no Republican with any morals would have been keen to defend him.

The bar is set that low?
The low bar is that Trump is the best the right wing can come up with and you blindly defend a sex offending racist and deem him fit to govern over you. You don't consider that a very low bar that he is one of the choices for you to pick from and as you have already discounted voting Democrat even before you know who it is, will probably vote for?
Here you go

As predictable an answer as I fully expected, you didn’t let me down, kudos to you.
True, rather predictably I don’t defend sex offenders and racists while you on the other hand...
