"High crimes and misdemeanors"

"High crimes and misdemeanors".....

mis·de·mean·or
/ˌmisdəˈmēnər/
a minor wrongdoing.

Misdemeanor?....covers a lot of bases/grounds......the "misdemeanor" doesn't have to be identified, otherwise THEY would have given examples?

Even IF you think quid pro quo is no big deal...it could still be considered a "misdemeanor".

Given that both sides had already approved the allocation of money for military aid to Ukraine, and DJT withheld THAT money....GUILTY AS CHARGED!!!!!!

Demeanor = appearance

That is what we're talking about, right?
'Trump is ugly' or 'Pelosi is sloppy' e.g.

Or am I missing something ...?

Physically ugly? Unpleasing to look at?

"Looks" will only get you so far.....or prevent you from getting so far.

I was thinking more along the line....Trump is a LIAR..... Morally ugly.

So, YES, he is ugly.

involving or likely to involve violence or other unpleasantness.

Now I understand why you claimed not to want to talk politics...just as I don't want to talk religion.

What we got here is a failure to communicate.

I stand by my pun,

labored as it may have been.

Not true! I love talking politics! Examples:
Good government> Thy kingdom come, on earth.
Bad government> It does not belong to a man who is walking even to direct his own step.
Partisan politics> Plans fail when there is no consultation, but there is accomplishment through many advisers.
Press conferences> When [Jesus] was being reviled, he did not go reviling in return.

And, like your politicians, I merely parrot the words of other writers.

And you connect "dots" that I would not connect......

Politics to religion.

You aren't one of those Ayatollahs are you?
