Well lets not move the goalposts, no us president has ever been convicted in an impeachment trial.
But that is where trump apologists lose me, first impeachment was over "Abuse of power by "pressuring Ukraine to investigate his political rivals ahead of the 2020 election while withholding a White House meeting and $400 million in U.S. security aid from Kyiv." You dont think this happened?
And the second impeachment was over jan 6 election interference? You dont think he interfered? The senate voted 57-43 to convict (57% voted guilty) and Mitch Mconnell said "There's no question that President Trump is practically and morally responsible for provoking the events of the day." You think 7 republicans and 50 others voting to convict is embarassing for whom? I also agree it is embarassing but I cannot wrap my head around how we could be embarassed in different ways.
I thought it was undemocratic last time, same goalposts. Just remember 4/5 americans did not vote for him.
Also important to keep in mind that less than 20% ofthe country voted for trump this time... not super democratic
Sorry you dont get to make up your own definition. He was impeached twice. These decisions cannot be undone or removed or acquitted, he is officially formally and forever impeached. Being impeached means being tried for crimes. He was completely tried, and therefore completely impeached. Only president to get impeached twice. And only three presidents have ever been impeached at all. Super embarassing that he is president again.
"If the House adopts the articles by a simple majority vote, the official has been impeached."

I only ever met a trump supporter who framed it so personally. Kamala harris lost. No part of it feels "mine" or "ours" to me.
No democrat would call it "our loss"
LOL his phone and computer were NOT made in the US. Also US is a net IMPORTER not exporter...
He was impeached... twice! (Only president ever)
US inflation has been over 1000% in the last century. Lots of money being made in the last century, and lots more people. Sorry for the tangent, had to look it up.
Four years is an extremely long time when talking about a new currency.
Hi how can we get in contact, my students love SpaceX and we watch tons of launch and landing videos of your guys work!
My students want to play with space ships.
These kids are have diverse interests, they like space and sharks and horses and have been enjoying making art with coding. It's hard to peg them!
They want to visit laboratories and talk to engineers, hard to stop them.
That would be awesome! We are planning to visit the telescope under construction at Grumman, but spaceX is one of my favorite companies to follow so I would personally get a kick out of working together as well. My students love space so it is right up their alley. Are you on reddit so we can pm? /u/yewew
Fantastic response! Thank you! Some of the PR departments I have already contacted I pitched it as a possible marketing move, to use the mentorship somehow to make the company look altruistic, etc (they would be doing a great service, truly) but that was the only real benefit I could see for them. What else could we offer?
Contacting a company that has children as its user base is a great idea and I can see how that could be a useful exchange, beyond that it seems like I need to meet an individual who has a personal interest in helping kids.
Great points all around and I am taking them all to heart.
We are in LA but because it is a private home school situation we are lucky enough that traveling to SF is a real possibility. We were already planning to visit an autonomous car start up in SF sometime this month. If you want to pm me on reddit please do (

If anybody wants to found a startup with me that makes it easier to set up mentorships with tech companies and labs in a way that would somehow benefit the companies as much as it would the students, lets do it.

Hi all,I teach two 5th graders science and programming privately three days a week and am trying to get them involved with some engineers/scientists in an open dialogue of sorts to inspire them and give them some insight into the world of applied science. I have already scheduled us for some interesting tours of aerospace companies and a lab or two, but I am really hoping I can find someone...
