So I like this quote because it reminds me of the Trump trials today. No matter what evidence is presented against Trump, his supporters will always find a way to rationalize it. #impeachment #timothynaftali #richardnixon #psychology #politicalscience #ushistory #uspolitics #history
It‘s more of an end of the chapter question, but I‘m going to ask it now. I think we can all see this will not end well. However, how would things have been different if Nixon had just cooperated and handed over what he was asked to hand over from the beginning? #discussion #richardnixon #impeachment #politicalscience #uspolitics #history #ushistory
Sometimes, we just make things worse for ourselves. #richardnixon #impeachment #trial #ushistory #timothynaftali #history #politicalscience #uspolitics
We rarely have the book just give us the lesson, but here we are. #andrewjohnson #impeachment #jonmeacham #uspolitics #ushistory #socialstudies #politicalscience #history #presidency #usgovernment
We need more politicians like Lincoln who accept defeat and is willing to work with the administration to transition #abrahamlincoln #impeachment #jonmeacham #andrewjohnson #history #ushistory #politicalscience #uspolitics #kindlequotes
Of course, we just couldn‘t start a book about #impeachment without a quote from #donaldtrump #ushistory #history #uspolitics #politicalscience #jefferyengel
Being a history of the two (A. Johnson and B. Clinton) and a half (Nixon) times we got to impeachment, This collection of essays makes for a digestible appetizer for more solid fare. Impeachment seems to be a complicated and malleable concept with enormously important repercussions. One has to be glad Pelosi was so cautious. 💡💡💡💡
A look back at what the founding fathers intended for impeachment to be. This book was very well done and without bias. It‘s a fact-based view of 3 impeachments and the actions and politics that led up to them.
Off to a good start. #ModernLibrary publishes great anthologies.

At home today waiting for the county inspector to sign off on our electrical work, so... light reading and coffee!
I probably recommend everything Jon Meacham touches. Impeachment is a tiny book jam-packed full of interesting facts about a well known word yet unfamiliar process. There is an under current of the thought that a vote on November 6th is a vote to impeach Trump or not. So go vote!!!

Taking a reading break to enjoy some Starbucks. We love it even more because of the puppaccinos, good service, and convenient 532 steps away from my front door. It's the perfect good-girl treat for Beau and me!
