Seven indisputable facts about this 'historic' impeachment that historians will use to condemn it as 'folly'

Derangement is a mental impairment that causes those afflicted with it to make very bad decisions, often ignoring or disputing realities that would caution them against their self-destructive actions. Even though the leftist-dominated psychology and psychiatric professions refuse to acknowledge it, Trump Derangement Syndrome is real, a genuine mass psychosis, and it is at the root of the impeachment vote today.

It is often speculated that the real goal of Democrats is to "place an asterisk" next to President Trump's name. But as the passion of the moment subsides and historians take a longer look, here are seven facts that will place an asterisk next to this impeachment, as a monumentally foolish act of political malpractice:

First ever purely partisan impeachment.
First ever impeachment advocated by House members before the president took office and took any official actions.
No crime is alleged.
The first ever impeachment brought less than a year before voters speak on the incumbent.
Hearings led by a man who brazenly, extensively, and provably lied (Nunes vs Schiff memoranda).
The speaker of the House opposed it but was bullied by young radicals she called "the Squad."
Impeachment hearings drove approval of the target higher.

The Impeachment of Johnson is seen as a major case of Congressional over reach done mostly for partisan political reasons. While elected with a Republican President, Johnson was a Democrat by political ideology.

This clown show is going to be remembered in the same vein as McCarthyism is now by Historians. If remembered at all Nadler, Pelosi and Schiff will be names held in contempt by future Americans.

“Will Adam Schiff go down in history as the most sanctimonious politician in history? Or will Nadler or Pelousy get the honor?”

Half of American voters believe everything Big Media tells them....

In 1804, Aaron Burr had HDS (Hamilton Derangement Syndrome).

The Democrat leaders aren’t deranged.

They aren’t childish.

They aren’t ignorant.

This impeachment is a coldly calculated and carefully crafted attempt by the Democrat leaders to stop any investigation of their criminal activities.

I am glad you brought that up. I remember reading about the Johnson impeachment in “Profiles in Courage” by JFK way back in 1960 (I was in the fourth grade). JFK put forth the argument that it was COURAGEOUS to stand against the tide of one’s party affiliation to do the right thing.

Now, it was a very long time ago that I read that book, and the impeachment chapter was the only one that I can remember, so it must have made a big impression on me at the time.
