I'm so confused by this tweet. No, I don't remember. When?? He was impeached for denying aid when? Anyone have a source? Tweets are such shitty methods of spreading information. 150 characters are designed for misinformation.
On the off chance that you're not kidding: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_impeachment_of_Donald_Trump
They probably can't remember because media companies swamped it with distraction articles and it never went anywhere because feckless Republican killed it in the Senate
Right! Thank you. I wasn't kidding and I stand by what I said. I'm blown away by the replies to my comment too, because it's true AND relevant. The deleted comments expressing hostility totally missed the point. Tweets are SUCH shitty ways of spreading information, but effective at misinformation. The right constantly makes fake history out of tweets like this one. when you see a wild unsourced claim that agrees with your worldview the smart thing to do is to question it, and look further into it. I wanted to see if anyone would actually try to educate me.
for real, what's with this tweet? if it's such a big cover up then why not include a source for it so people can learn?? I wasn't even in the united states at the time. This is literally the first I'm hearing about it and I've been following US politics closely since I arrived here 5 years ago.
But no, it's not an exposure problem it's a YOU problem and if you dont remember then we are just better than you. That's why the original tweet said "hey you know you no one else remembers this because they're willfully ignorant?" oh wait no it didn't, it said the media isn't giving it attention, i guess that means we should link a fucking article god i hate social media sometimes
that's wild, I definitely missed that. I knew he was impeached twice and did a lot more bs deserving impeachment, and that the second one was for sedition... I guess this one happened so closely to jan 6 that it overshadowed everything else
