I understand what impeachment means. I lived through the Nixon administration, but thanks for your explanation and you have a good day.

I didn't mean it condescendingly and I'm sorry I came off that way.

It's a fair mistake because I often am a smug asshole. I just didn't mean that this time. Bit of a victim of my own nature here.

You are right, though; impeachment without removal is a joke. He's been impeached twice already, and it hasn't slowed his roll at all.

You are definitely right as far as removal from office. However when you Look back through the lens of history It will show that there were elected officials who cared about the rule of law , and some who didn't.

I know there are some who care. The problem is that there is shit in the pool, so to speak. So, everyone gets out and we shock the pool before anyone else gets back in.

The only difference we have between the 2 of us is you're looking at the short game I'm looking at the long game. 1 day maybe our children's children will look back and be able to better understand the shit we're dealing with today. Every President wants a legacy.

I think you have that backward. I say we need to clean out the whole pool because there are corrupt people on both sides of the aisle and until we remove profit from politics we will always inherit that corruption. Cleaning house NOW is how we know LONG TERM that the corruption didn't metastasize.

If there is anyone long term that is found, after investigation of all politicians, to be above suspicion, they are allowed to run for office again. But we NEED to have a control here - a static clean slate to measure corruption against - and the only way we know that is to start fresh.

With all due respect , we're both beating the same drum . I've always asked myself. What makes someone spend millions of dollars to take a job that only pays a $180.000 a year.

I also don't mean any disrespect. I simply think that we need to get rid of all politicians and start fresh. The "sacrifice" of them giving up their millions of dollars isn't a true sacrifice because most of them have their money stocked into assets anyway. You are right though, some are good.
