Republicans impeached Clinton first dumbass.

You can't blame the Dems for impeaching Trump for actual crimes and then Republicans impeaching over nothing again.

No need to name call.

Republicans did that in the 90s after Clinton perjured himself and we stuffed the genie back in the bottle after that.

It was a different country then, lying under oath meant something then, as well as perceived immorality by the president.

About what, again? Oh yeah, a blowjob.

But you're right, it's exactly the same thing as inciting a mob to try and stop democracy from functioning.

How very both sides enlightened centrist of you.

Perjury is perjury.

Why are you referencing the second impeachment? Congress couldn’t do anything at that point. Trump was already out of office. That’s akin to the trial of the dead pope, what would it have changed?

Now, if you referenced the first, maybe there would be something else to discuss. But I’m guessing you didn’t since it isn’t as inflammatory as Jan 6th

I vote straight democrat btw. Far from a centrist, but I am a realist who recognizes when something is unnecessary.

"Now we have to deal with republicans in the house forcing McCarthy to bring impeachment to a vote, which is eerily reminiscent of democrats forcing Pelosi to do the same."

You are just making shit up.

Republicans pressuring McCarthy to impeach Biden with no evidence of any wrongdoing is not reminiscent of democrats pressuring, not forcing, Pelosi to impeach Trump when Pelosi was also accusing Trump of a coverup. Your link does not support your statement in any way.

They are in no way comparable beyond "party wants to do X and leadership is hesitant", which is basically a description of the state of congress any any point in time.

Clinton hasn't even met Lewinski when they started the Starr investigation. I'm sure you know that tho
