People used to think that presidents committing illegal acts was grounds for impeachment.

How far we've come since then.

@Thelonious08 has Was impeached twice and it didn't make a difference...

Both of those impeachments were the softest possible attack vectors.

If they were really fighting they would have impeached 100 times. There was more than enough crime. They just had to ... you know... do their jobs.

Pelosi went a long long way to normalize Executive Branch crime.

There were hundreds of obvious violations of laws which she never even bothered to comment on, much less investigate or prosecute (that type of prosecution is called 'impeachment' in the Constitution)

@Thelonious08 @marion_grau
She had to be dragged kicking and screaming to impeach both times and she didn't bother to even hear witnesses.

Nobody did more to enable the orange fascist than Nancy Pelosi.

Oh, I dunno. She did a lot, but I have plenty of blame to spread around.

Personally, I blame the NY DAs in the 70s-80s for letting him get away with his money laundering, unpaid vendor bills, and civil rights abuses.

He could've been stopped then.

It felt a lot like people were writing fan fiction, they were so desperate for an opposition party.
