Impeachment is a 'coup'? Trump and Giuliani flunk civics class
This is so sad. The point of a coup d'état is to replace one government with another. In banana republics run by strongmen, thats a matter of ousting one guy, typically one who likes to wear a uniform adorned with medals. In this country, however, the end result of an impeachment is the congressional equivalent of an indictment. And even if the Senate convicts and removes the president from office something that has never happened the office will be filled by the vice president from the same party.
In other words, impeachment isnt designed to change who holds the reins in the federal government. Its designed to hold individuals accountable for bad behavior, whether it be corrupt acts or abuses of power.

Trump says Democrats are wasting the country's time on 'BULLSHIT' in angry tweet on impeachment
President Donald Trump on Wednesday said Democrats are wasting time on "BULLSHIT" in an angry tweet that came amid an escalating battle with congressional lawmakers over the Ukraine scandal and impeachment inquiry.
Trump tweeted: "The Do Nothing Democrats should be focused on building up our Country, not wasting everyone's time and energy on BULLSHIT, which is what they have been doing ever since I got overwhelmingly elected in 2016, 223-306. Get a better candidate this time, you'll need it!"

Only 4 in 10 Repubs think Trump mentioned Biden on Ukraine call even though he acknowledged doing it
WASHINGTON A new poll shows that only four in 10 Republicans believe President Donald Trump talked to the Ukrainian president about investigating political rival Joe Biden, even though Trump has acknowledged doing so.
That compares with 85% of Democrats and 61% of independents surveyed by Monmouth University Poll who said Trump "probably did" mention the possibility of an investigation into the Biden family during a July phone call with Volodymyr Zelensky.
"This seems to be another example of partisan tribalism at work in public opinion, said Patrick Murray, director of the independent Monmouth University Polling Institute.

"Civil War"? President Grant called it

TRUMP'S 'CIVIL WAR' QUOTE TWEET IS ACTUALLY GROUNDS FOR IMPEACHMENT, SAYS HARVARD LAW PROFESSOR
President Donald Trump's recent tweet quoting a longtime evangelical pastor who warned of a "Civil War" if Democrats seriously pursue removing him from office could actually be grounds for impeachment, one Harvard Law professor said.
"If the Democrats are successful in removing the President from office (which they will never be), it will cause a Civil War like fracture in this Nation from which our Country will never heal," Trump tweeted on Sunday night.
The tweet was a quote from Robert Jeffress, a Southern Baptist pastor who gave the comment during an appearance on Fox & Friends Weekend. Trump added his own parenthetical aside to Jeffress' quote, in which the president asserted that Congress won't be successful in their impeachment efforts.
The president's tweet was immediately met with backlash, and Harvard Law professor John Coates argued that the social media post itself is an "independent basis" for lawmakers to remove him from the White House.
"This tweet is itself an independent basis for impeachment - a sitting president threatening civil war if Congress exercises its constitutionally authorized power," Coates wrote on Twitter on Monday.
