Originally posted by Erekshun No he did not. You and your kind want to impeach him because you hate him. That's not impeachable. Wake the fuck up.
I take it you haven't read the Mueller report? This is the full version and a lot to read, but you can find the highlights online.

Originally posted by Erekshun Bill Clinton was a licensed attorney who lied under oath and he knew better. The Bar pulled his license for it as they take it seriously. Trump is not an attorney and hasn't lied under oath. Get it?
To quote Republican Senator Lindsey Graham:
“You don’t even have to be convicted of a crime to lose your job in this constitutional republic if this body determines that your conduct as a public official is clearly out of bounds in your role. Impeachment is not about punishment. Impeachment is about cleansing the office. Impeachment is about restoring honor and integrity to the office.”
Though it should be noted that Trump did indeed get convicted of a crime. 10 counts of obstruction, I believe. -

In 1999, Senate Republicans were eager to condemn Bill Clinton for his abuse of the presidential office. But 20 years later, they’re giving President Donald Trump a lot more breathing room.
Fourteen current members of the Senate were serving in Congress during Clinton’s impeachment proceedings — and at least 10 are striking an entirely different tone with their approach to Trump.
Take Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), an outspoken Trump critic turned ally:
In 1999: “You don’t even have to be convicted of a crime to lose your job in this constitutional republic if this body determines that your conduct as a public official is clearly out of bounds in your role,” he said about Clinton, who faced charges of perjury and obstruction of justice. “Impeachment is not about punishment. Impeachment is about cleansing the office. Impeachment is about restoring honor and integrity to the office.”
Today: “Impeachment over this? What a nothing (non-quid pro quo) burger. Democrats have lost their minds when it comes to President Trump,” he said in a September statement in reaction to a summary the White House released of the call between Trump and Zelensky.
Then there’s Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, indicting Clinton for lying, but downplaying today’s scandal:
In 1999: “The President would seek to win at any cost,” he said, according to Newsweek. “If it meant lying to the American people. If it meant lying to his Cabinet. The name of the game was winning. Winning at any cost.”
Today: “I’ve read the summary of the call. If this is the ‘launching point’ for House Democrats’ impeachment process, they’ve already overplayed their hand,” he told Politico last month. “It’s clear there is no quid pro quo that the Democrats were desperately praying for.”
And Kansas Sen. Jerry Moran, who took a principled stance 20 years ago, but argued that the Trump impeachment inquiry was taking away from the ability to do bipartisan work:
In 1999: “I choose to be on the side that says no person is above the law,” he said, according to Business Insider.
Today: “We have enough problems in Washington, D.C., in working together to get things done,” he told reporters in Topeka.
Graham, McConnell and Moran are far from the only Republican responding to the House inquiry in this way. Others — like Sens. Chuck Grassley and Roger Wicker — also advocated strongly in favor of impeaching Clinton by suggesting that he betrayed the trust of the executive office but have widely criticized House Democrats’ efforts to investigate Trump, even though he’s accused of abusing the power of the office as well.

2019-10-01 at 2:26 PM UTC in Important KnowledgeOne of the most important things I like to remember is that this is the best time to be a human in all of known history. Not even 100 years ago we were fighting tuberculosis and the Spanish fever. We now have extremely versatile computers in our pocket which have the power to communicate with anyone on the planet, solve complicated math problems, access information from a global and comprehensive system, play games, give you directions, and so much more. And those have only been around for, what, the last 20 years if we're being generous?
Poverty has not been eliminated, but a large chunk of the population has access to food and clean water. War is at an all time low. People are more educated than ever, with illiterate people now being the small minority. We also know more about our planet and reality than ever before, and use much of this knowledge to help people through stuff like rice/wheat fortification, water purification, and medical advances that would have seemed like witchcraft to most other humans who have been born. Most kings did not live this good.
Things are not perfect, but they probably never will be. So overall it's pretty damn good to be a 21st century human. -
2019-10-01 at 2:09 PM UTC in Addressing the claim that whistleblower requirements changed right before Ukraine claimsTrump and many other Republicans have claimed that the requirements for whistleblowers changed in order to 'get Trump', as well as the claim that there was no first-hand information. But this is not the case.
https://www.dni.gov/files/ICIG/Documents/News/ICIG%20News/2019/September%2030%20-%20Statement%20on%20Processing%20of%20Whistleblower%20Complaints/ICIG%20Statement%20on%20Processing%20of%20Whistleblower%20Complaints.pdfThe Disclosure of Urgent Concern form the Complainant submitted on August 12, 2019 is
the same form the ICIG has had in place since May 24, 2018, which went into effect before
Inspector General Atkinson entered on duty as the Inspector General of the Intelligence
Community on May 29, 2018, following his swearing in as the Inspector General of the
Intelligence Community on May 17, 2018. Although the form requests information about whether
the Complainant possesses first-hand knowledge about the matter about which he or she is lodging
the complaint, there is no such requirement set forth in the statute. In fact, by law the Complainant
– or any individual in the Intelligence Community who wants to report information with respect
to an urgent concern to the congressional intelligence committees – need not possess first-hand
information in order to file a complaint or information with respect to an urgent concern.At the time the Complainant filed the Disclosure of Urgent Concern form with the ICIG
on August 12, 2019, the ICIG followed its routine practice and provided the Complainant
information, including “Background Information on ICWPA Process,” which included the
following language:
In order to find an urgent concern “credible,” the IC IG must be in
possession of reliable, first-hand information. The IC IG cannot transmit
information via the ICWPA based on an employee’s second-hand
knowledge of wrongdoing. This includes information received from
another person, such as when a fellow employee informs you that he/she
witnessed some type of wrongdoing. (Anyone with first-hand knowledge of the allegations may file a disclosure in writing directly with the IC IG.)
Similarly, speculation about the existence of wrongdoing does not provide
sufficient basis to meet the statutory requirements of the ICWPA. If you
think wrongdoing took place, but can provide nothing more than secondhand or unsubstantiated assertions, IC IG will not be able to process the
complaint or information for submission as an ICWPA.The Complainant on the form he or she submitted on August 12, 2019 in fact checked two
relevant boxes: The first box stated that, “I have personal and/or direct knowledge of events or
records involved”; and the second box stated that, “Other employees have told me about events or
records involved.”
In case you're not familiar with ICIG, this is the statue which gives them the power to regulate such things: https://www.dni.gov/files/ICIG/Documents/Policy/Authorities/3033%20Inspector%20General%20of%20the%20Intelligence%20Community.pdf -

2019-10-01 at 1:41 AM UTC in Behold, the Harpy Eagle
The harpy eagle lives throughout Mexico and South America. They are a sexually dimorphic species, with the females being on average several pounds heavier than their male counterparts. The largest recorded Harpy Eagle was a female named Jezebel, who weighed a whopping 27lbs (12.3kg). They live in the canopy of the rainforest, and primarily eat sloths and monkeys, such as capuchin monkeys, saki monkeys, howler monkeys, titi monkeys, squirrel monkeys, and spider monkeys. In times of desperation, they have known to attack other birds, as well as iguanas and snakes. Some farmers claim they have seen harpy eagles flying off with livestock, like sheep, goats, and small pigs. -
