Impeached but not convicted . . .twice.Trump was acquitted by the U.S. Senate. In the 2nd impeachment 57 Senators voted to convict Trump but 67 votes were needed. Several Republican Senators voted to not convict based on the belief that a POTUS can't be impeached after leaving office.
Trump is not my favorite politician, b but I endorse any of his policies.
We had much less in he way of border problems and spent much less money on border control under those policies. Originally Posted by ICU 812

Regarding immigration, yes, Trump's poicies regarding the southern border were much more effective than Biden's in keeping people from entering this country legally. I certainly disagree with "catch and release". But I do believe Biden's attempts are more humane than Trump's in that Trump's immigration policy was simple -- you aren't coming into this country unless you apply for entry through the "normal" channels, and if you aren't white, affluent, educated, and speak English your chances of entry are minimal. Under Trump, the number of refugees allowed into this country was lowered from more than 100,000 to about 15,000 per year. So while I do not support Biden's plans, I did not support Trump's either.

Lowering the number of refugees allowed into this country from over 100,000 a year to about 15,000 keeps people from legally entering the country. Also:
Nothing humane about Biden's border less immigration policies. Originally Posted by farmstud60

More humane? Do you really believe that? Record number of American deaths due to Fentanyl being smuggled through our open border. Record number of migrant deaths after being "encouraged" by this President to "come". Sex trafficking of women and children after having been raped along the way by the Cartels running this circus. Homeless immigrants sleeping in the streets because we don't have the resources to deal with them and you call this humane?
You asked me once what my solution to this problem is. Here it is "stay in your country and apply for asylum before you come to this country". Anybody showing up at our border without proof of persecution looking only for a better economic situation, which is not a reason to grant asylum, will be turned away and if ound in the country illegally, deported.

It's like a Boss trying to fire an employee after they have already quit. This country as well as the rest of the is ran by Mad people. They are greedy, vindictive and generally full of shit.

You just described Trump perfectly which is why they are going after his sorry ass.I described all of them. If you think Biden is any different you're a dam fool. These people are criminals and every citizen is a pawn in their game of chess.
All that dipshit had to do was be a man and accept defeat and none of this circus would have ever happened. This shit show is all on him for creating it. Originally Posted by Lucas McCain

The left didn't have a damn thing to do with what happened on 1/6. That was all Trump firing up his goofball trailer park cult.
As far as the OP's assertion that the constitution was ignored, well that's just too silly for me to even dignify. I'll just say Alan Dershowitz is 84 years old. His once brilliant legal mind is no longer the same. Originally Posted by Lucas McCain

The story is from liberal Constitutional Lawyer, you might want to open your eyes and learn something. Originally Posted by farmstud60
