As pretty much the whole world knows, donald trump was impeached yesterday in the House of Representatives.
Two Articles of Impeachment passed--pretty much along party lines--and the Senate will be tasked with conducting the trial and acting on whether or not to remove him from the Presidency at some date to be determined.
The first Article charged Dolt 45 with abuse of power.
The second charged him with obstruction of Congress.
No one who has even the slightest grasp of what happens in Washington these days believes that the Republican-dominated Senate will actually remove him.
But it was very important that the House did its job.
Needless to say, this is big story. A very big story.
It will, in all likelihood, grind on for quite a while.
But regardless how this turns out, it's a very big deal that trump became the third President in our history to be impeached.
Removal by the Senate?
Not in this lifetime.
But he faces, at long last, some measure of accountability for his many high crimes and abuses of power.
