The impeachment of Donald Trump

WARNING: This was written without a bias. There is no sides being favored here, just discussing what has happened

By Riley Taylor


Ever since the year 2016, where Donald J. Trump became President of the United States, there have been countless attempts to impeach him. Some accusations are obvious lies and fibs, but others have evidence that could appear incriminating. However, Recently there has been an uprising in trump impeachment actions taken during the last year and a half of his presidency

Trump has been a topic of controversy for years. With countless accusations, threats, and impeachment attempts. However, on the other end of the spectrum, there are people who love trump more than life itself. One of the reasons so many Americans feel so poorly about trump is his actions since obtaining a presidential position. Trumps treatment towards immigrants is often viewed as unconstitutional. The constitution has a rule against presidents accepting gifts from others to ensure they are not swayed by bribes and such. Trump has accepted multiple gifts since his presidency. While these offences are small, the reaction from the public is catastrophic. This is actually one of the main arguments Anti Trump supporters use.

Trump's impeachment is currently being carried out in a non-traditional presidential impeachment format. Typically, the republicans and democrats have to take a vote between all of them and decide whether or not it is for the best to impeach Trump. However, this is not what is happening in this case. With democrats making up most of the house of representatives, the democratic party alone is proceeding without acknowledging the republicans. While the impeachment of Trump has a sturdy foundation and solid accusations, Democrats are not approaching this correctly. Image result for donald trump

    This is interesting.... Although the Democrats are pushing impeachment, there are Republicans that are, too, trying to proceed with as little opposition from the Democrats. It is quite sad, honestly, as they should be working together. But I don't think you can say that it is just the Democrats who are not approaching this correctly. Yes, Democrats are the majority in the House of Representatives, however, the Senate is mostly Republican, and, in order for impeachment to occur, the Senate has to agree as well. The Democrats cannot "proceed without acknowledging the republicans."

    A good choice for a topic as it's in the news all the time.

    I agree with you as to it seems very illogical to try and impeach the president this close to the end of his term. I know that people have been trying to impeach him for a while, then a stand still, and now that he's about to be done... P.s. I like the photo :)

Ancient Greek Heroes VS. Modern Day Heroes

-
Image
Heroes in Greek/Anglo-Saxon (I am grouping the types of historical literature we have read) writing are very obvious and much of ancient Greek literature involves a central hero or a supernatural story. In modern day English, however, the plots are less often mythical and more realistic. Since each person has a different definition for heroism, modern day heroism literature can be more varied. Ancient Greek writing is very often far-fetched, however. There are many similarities and differences between the two types of writing, but first I will run through the most significant differences. In Greek mythology, heroes were often religious figures, like demigods, while modern day writing focuses more on ordinary people. This could be because authors nowadays want the readers to be able to relate with the heroes in their stories. Greek writing had heroes that had the power to protect or destroy the people depending on prevailing circumstances. In contrast, modern day heroes are acknowledg...

My Brother by Elizabeth Hailey DeGasperis

          When I contemplate what is most important in my life, my mind is drawn to my 21-year-old brother, Tom. There are not enough words in the English language I could use to describe what he means to me. I cannot imagine the past fifteen years of my life without him. Allow me to start from the beginning.           Even when I was an infant, he never failed to take me out of my crib, strap me in my high chair, and cook scrambled eggs for us (at the tender age of six). He did this so my mother could catch up on sleep in the mornings and take care of me however he could. I only wish I could return the favour in some way. Though we have always been tight, we used to fight frequently as all siblings do. As immature children, we viewed every ordeal as monumental. The apocalypse would occur if either of us decided to give the other access to the TV remote or the pogo sticks for five minutes. However, we would always make-up in the end and...

Not Fate, Just a Coincidence - Sila Paniker

The idea of fate confuses me. I don't really understand how something will happen no matter what you do. It just seems very unlikely. I think we're constantly making choices that lead to occurrences. We make so many decisions a day that it seems impossible that fate can find a way around it all.  Awhile ago, I saw something called the Butterfly Effect, which doesn't exactly relate to fate but it makes sense to me. The idea is that a butterfly flapping its wings can cause a tornado on the other side of the world. Essentially, small changes can have large impacts. In my head, this connects with the thousands of tiny decisions we subconsciously make each day. There are people I've met or things that have happened and it feels like it was meant to be but they're just a bunch of coincidences that had the ability to change everything. Thinking about it, there are reasons that can explain everything. For example, I met one of my closest friends a few years ago a...
