This is why I'll make an attempt to avoid discussing politics with you in the future. If you believe that number of people believe the crazy ideas of those kooks you are a waste of time.

I've shown you two polls with the first at around 30% and another more recent one at 40%. The obvious point, other than to you, is the approval of Qanon in the Republican party is on UP...
PS: And that's not counting the Republicans like Boebert who "hope" it's true...

You lack the ability to evaluate polls and headlines. You take everything at face value. I'm done.

Bullshit....He was charged twice. Congress voted not to convict either time.....Therefor saying he was impeached is NOT true.

No. He was impeached twice. Just because he was not convicted, does not mean he was not impeached. Impeachment is the process where Congress charges and tries an official. The actual outcome of the trial has no bearing on whether or not the official was impeached. Once impeached, always impeached, regardless of the outcome.

Lol!!The house IMPEACHES, period. That THEIR purview. The senate conducts a trial and even an acquittal does NOT mean the president wasn't impeached.
Oh, we all forgot, Greg was sick on the day they taught that in his junior high school civics class...

Again Bullshit....impeachment starts with being charged with wrongdoing. Unless you are convicted of that wrongdoing then you were not impeached.....simply stating he was impeached implies he was found guilty. He wasnt. I realize that doesnt fit your and the left's agenda but facts are facts regardless of how hard you wish they were not. smile

Nope. Impeachment is only the process of charging and trying the official. Honestly, I have no idea why you want to die on this hill. Anyone can look up the definition of impeachment as defined in the US. If it makes you feel better to think he was never impeached, a completely false assertion, then knock yourself out.

Jesus H. F. T. Christ, just look the word up. Try Merriam Webster: "To charge (a public official) before a competent tribunal with misconduct in office", and it goes on the say "Three Presidents of the United States have been impeached: Andrew Johnson, Bill Clinton, and Donald Trump."

There are literally hundreds of other sources that will tell you what the word means. Where on earth do you get this stuff, or did you just make that up?
