If Clinton was impeached for telling a lie...
Impeached but never convicted because it was just about (tee-hee) sex (the Paula Jones sexual harassment case). And before Abu Ghraib, even rape and sexual harassment were just “tee-hee” topics; nobody ever went to jail for rape or sexual harassment. /s
Clinton had so many crimes he could have been charged with, besides the perjury and obstruction of justice. But because the perjury and obstruction charges were related to an issue framed as being insignificant, even the clear evidence of guilt was not enough to get the Senate to convict him.
This issue has been framed in similar fashion. They have to ridicule the importance of the subject because framing it that way means that no evidence will ever get past the “tee hee” result that Clinton got in his impeachment trial.
The difference, though, is that whereas Clinton allegedly sexually harassed and/or raped individuals and hid it through perjury and obstruction of justice, Obama is raping the entire country and putting the entire world in jeopardy, and covering it with not only perjury and obstruction of justice but every imaginable form of lawlessness, trampling the Constitution, the economy, and everything America is supposed to be about.
The media is “tee hee-ing” this issue, but judging by the response Trump is getting, I’d say the good people of America are NOT saying it is insignificant.
Unfortunately, Congress doesn’t much care what the good people of America think, unless there’s an election tomorrow - and even then, they think the public will think whateve the media tells them to think. All Congress cares about is what the media thinks of them. So it’s too “tee hee” for them to do anything about.
The only people who are free to be honest and listen to the American public are those who don’t care what the media says because they don’t need the media. IOW, Donald Trump.
And that doesn’t just go for the eligibility issue. It goes for everything. As long as we have large numbers of voters who are swayed by the treasonous, communist media, the people we elect will be hostage to that treasonous, communist media. We have only to look at the budget battle going on right now to see how that plays out - even after the voters gave the biggest “mandate” ever seen in this country through the biggest landslide in our history. That’s the loudest the volume has ever been turned up and it’s still not enough to get results in Washington DC.
