Imagine impeaching a President because he lied about a blowjob. Now imagine impeaching a President because he directed his lawyer to lie about colluding with a foreign power for personal profit. Which seems urgent to act on?

Nixon directing others to lie was the beginning of his impeachment
why hasnt he been arrested yet for committing god knows how many felonies? is this how the rule of law is preserved in america or what?
Laws only apply to browns and blacks
Because people have this insane notion that presidency is a sacred position that should never face consequences. The only times they came close was Clinton because he was a democrat, and Nixon, but then a propaganda network (Fox News) was created to ensure that would never happen to them again.
In fairness, Nixon resigned because, knowing the law, he knew he would simply not survive that impeachment.
Buzzfeed News has, despite their heritage, been among, if not the, most accurate US political news sources. Should you not unban @ZachPL considering?

Trump may very well survive his though, given that most of the Senate Republicans appear to be compromised themselves in some respect. However, he'll lose the 2020 election for sure after that, and then we can hopefully put his ass in prison.
I've spent the last 4 hours putting together a comprehensive list of every person who is surprised by this news. The list is as follows: Well shit. Yesterday you banned somebody for using CNN as a source, and now you're banning people for using Pulitzer prize winners as a source. Nice.
Read the post you quoted for an explanation.
I don't need an excuse, I ignored plenty of rules when I spent 5 years moderating this place. Using your better judgement > blindly obeying the rules.
Clearly judgement has gone out of the window with bans for Buzzfeed News and CNN.
Then I guess we should all be glad that you're not still a moderator.

Interesting, I can't remember the office issuing a statement on anything else thus far. The wording "not accurate" is curious too.
https://youtu.be/9Jz1TjCphXE I wonder what the accurate version is.
