Hey stupid, there were no crimes included in the charges contained in the articles of impeachment.Your guy was actually impeached. The right wing in the Senate has no ethics or morals and refused to convict as a result.Every time the Dumbocrats call Trump a criminal, I ask them for evidence of his crime, They never have any.President Trump never sold this country out to another, like Beijing Biden has his whole career.What Donald J. Trump is doing is treachery to the American republic, and it should be treated as such.
As reported by the New York Times:
This is really a no-brainer. We’re dealing with a traitor in the White House, nothing more, nothing less.
Every single member of his Cabinet that supports him is guilty of treachery. Every single Republican lawmaker that supports him is equally guilty. Every single pundit on Fox News or any other right-wing outlet that supports this coup attempt is, in fact, supporting a traitor.
As explained by historian Michael Beschloss, this moment is truly unprecedented in our history:
There is no other word for them. They are traitors to the nation--all of them. They are trying their damnedest to erase the rights we in this country were born with.
They should carry that with them for the rest of their lives, into their graves.

Trump Hasn't Conceded Georgia. Neither Did Stacey Abrams. What Changed?
The president's questioning of the election process isn't the first time Georgia voters have heard that. State officials say claims about impropriety — past and present — are false.

First off DailyKos is one site that will get you a thumbs down from me seeing it is a communist rag site that spew hatred for anyone that is not far left as they are.
Second, believe it or not it is better to let Trump and his voting base and supporters take as much rope to hang themselves with politically because when it is all over they will be the laughingstock and Biden will still be President!

2.4% GDP growth? That's it?
A Fed that had to pour $1.5T into short term credit markets to grease the system in 2019?
A massive government spending / deficit / debt increase?
An extended manufacturing recession in 2019?
Bond yields crashing 60%?
I'll bet you didn't know about any of that. You've been fooled.

None of that is cherry-picked. It's just reality. Every bit of growth was borrowed and inflated, not unlike Trump's previous business results. It is unsustainable because it is artificial.

But impeachment means he was put on trial, and then found guilty of only a minor misdemeanor, not high crimes or misdemeanors, so the case had no effect on his presidency.

The impeachment of Bill Clinton was initiated on October 8, 1998, when the United States House of Representatives voted to commence impeachment proceedings against Bill Clinton, the 42nd president of the United States, for "high crimes and misdemeanors". The specific charges against Clinton were lying under oath and obstruction of justice. The charges stemmed from a sexual harassment lawsuit filed against Clinton by Paula Jones and from Clinton's testimony denying that he had engaged in a sexual relationship with White House intern Monica Lewinsky. The catalyst for the president's impeachment was the Starr Report, a September 1998 report prepared by Independent Counsel Ken Starr for the House Judiciary Committee.[1]
On December 19, 1998, Clinton became the second American president to be impeached (the first being Andrew Johnson, who was impeached in 1868), when the House formally adopted two articles of impeachment and forwarded them to the United States Senate for adjudication; two other articles were considered, but were rejected.[a] A trial in the Senate began in January 1999, with Chief Justice William Rehnquist presiding. On February 12, Clinton was acquitted on both counts as neither received the necessary two-thirds majority vote of the senators present for conviction and removal from office—in this instance 67. On Article One, 45 senators voted to convict while 55 voted for acquittal. On Article Two, 50 senators voted to convict while 50 voted for acquittal.[3] Clinton remained in office for the remainder of his second term.[4]

Sleepy Joe needs to start reaching across the aisle like his old buddy McCain did. Time for Biden-Harris to start reaching out to Deplorable Americans as well as Chumps and to meet their needs. Biden promised to be a president for everyone during the campaign. Pro-Chump legislation and EO's have to be priority one.
McCain is dead, and you conservatives were hollering about how Hillary called people "deplorables". You gotta quit living in the past. Biden won the election, Trump lost, deal with it.
Biden already hart the US by supporting the theft of oil and gas by the Ukraine, in order to get kickbacks of US foreign aid to his son. That is about as reprehensible as one could get, since harming our relations with Russia is very bad for all of us in the US. We have no inherent conflict with Russia, and it would be best if we could arrange to be allies instead. Hostilities between the US and Russia help no one but armament profiteers.
{...
Joe Biden leveraged $1 billion in aid to persuade Ukraine to oust its top prosecutor, Viktor Shokin, in March 2016.

Getting kickbacks through his son Hunter, is really sleazy.
What makes it bad is that is was our money he was using to negotiate with, and the Ukraine wanted the money to buy weapons so it would not have to pay Russia back for the Russian oil the Ukraine stole.

Just an education for the simpleton OP skews13 and the other Single Digit IQ Dimwingers in the thread.............
Treason is the only crime defined in the U.S. Constitution. According to Article III, Section 3:
There are two ways to commit treason: levying war against the government, and providing aid or comfort to the enemy.
Levying War
Levying war isn’t limited to formally declaring war. It includes any forcible opposition to the execution of a public law. Such “forcible opposition” ordinarily requires actual use of force by multiple people with the common purpose of preventing some law from being enforced. Weapons aren’t always required; sheer numbers can be enough.
Merely conspiring to overthrow the government isn’t levying war—there must be an actual assemblage of people who are ready and intend to use force. (But see “Related Crimes,” below.) So, no person acting alone can be guilty of levying war.
Providing Aid or Comfort
Providing aid or comfort to the enemy covers a variety of actions, from providing financial assistance to harboring an enemy soldier. Any intentional act that furthers the enemy’s hostile designs or weakens the United States gives aid and comfort to, and “adheres to,” the enemy.
Sympathy alone. Sympathy for the enemy by itself doesn’t constitute aiding or comforting. Rather, the actor must take some kind of action to provide aid or comfort.
Time of war. Treason by aiding the enemy can’t be committed during peacetime; there must be an actual enemy for the traitor to aid. The requisite enemy designation typically requires a formal declaration of war.
Attempt. Someone can be convicted of treason even if the attempt to aid isn’t successful or the enemy’s goal isn’t achieved.
