not an impeachable offense...and check that statute of limitatioms...3 years and 6 years...unless its civil fraud, then unlimited, BUT burden of proof is mega-difficult...more so for something almost 3 decades ago.

1) Everything is an impeachable offense legally. It's only norms and political expediency that keep it from being used in that manner. But assuming you willing to talk about what reasonably ought to be the case then,
2) The intended basis for impeachable offenses is a serious abuse of the public trust, of which this has a pretty strong case of being an example. It depends on where you come down on the debate of whether violations of the public trust have to relate to conduct in the current office. For me, if the president committed serious crimes in the past and is found out later on, that's enough even if it's not related to their presidential actions. One of the things Nixon was going to potentially go down on was tax evasion, though he assured us he was not a crook. Trump is a crook.
3) Did you even read the evidence? Like, when you wrote the, "I don't know - super hard to prove guys" line, did it even occur to you to read what evidence exists as of right now?

I like that Kay Bailey Hutchinson, US ambassador to NATO, just threatened Russia with a preemptive strike - an act that would all but assure WW III and the end of human civilization - and pop news outlets has almost no room to cover it to penetrate the public attention. I read one source describe her as someone who is supposed to be the "adult in the room" and thought, "Kay Bailey Hutchinson is now what passes for the adult in the room? Jesus."

Thanks to Trump mocking Ford today, I'm not sure this major story of corruption and lies from Trump makes it a single news cycle. I think it just fades into the background. It seems impeachable - Spiro Agnew being forced to resign immediately comes to mind - but it's a 2nd tier reason to impeach compared to some other issues already out there. I'm going to predict this goes into the "Lol. Nothing matters" box until 2020.
I'm pretty sure he mocked her for this reason. Just another day in Trumplandia.
1. Kay Bailey Hutchinson, US ambassador to NATO, just threatened Russia with a preemptive strike - an act that would all but assure WW III and the end of human civilization.
2. The New York Times releases a bombshell report detailing how President Donald Trump committed tax fraud for years for his father's empire which he coopted and took $413 million from him instead of just the $1 million he had always claimed. The myth of the self made billionaire exposed as a fraud.
3. President Donald Trump rallies a cheering mob in Mississippi while mocking a victim of sexual assault.
4. Just two days after refusing to answer under oath whether he was "Bart" Kavanaugh in High School, the NYT releases a letter written by him in 1983 signed "Bart," wherein in claims he and his friends are "loud obnoxious drunks."

Hooray for the Age of Dicks and Idiots! Long live Trump’s America! Thank you, Trump voters, for leading the way!

Well, Drumpf did have time to mention this was a scary time for men, what with the thousands of false accusations of sexual assault floating around.
Yet another great soundbite for the GOP and the women's vote.
God belief is for people who don't want to live life on the universe's terms.
