The Funniest Tweets about Trump’s Actual, For Real Impeachment
Photo courtesy of Getty ImagesWhat else can we say about impeachment? I mean, it happened. The House impeached Trump yesterday by a vote of whatever to something else, and now the guy’s going down in history as only the third president to get impeached—albeit the second since Third Eye Blind’s “Semi Charmed Kind of Life” doot-doot-doot’d its way into America’s hearts in 1997. This is a permanent stain against a man who’s been permanently stained in like a dozen ways since well before he even entered politics, and the end result will pretty much be an answer to a trivia question. If enough Republicans in the Senate somehow decide to untether their political careers from the anchor that is Trump, maybe the thing will actually go through and Trump will have to leave office. We’re far more likely to get splattered by an asteroid before that would ever happen, so let’s not get too hopeful, here.
One thing we can do, though, is look at Twitter, or at least the part of Twitter that isn’t currently arguing over Star Wars. I mean, we don’t recommend that you look at Twitter—that is, after all, where Trump lives, and where all joy and hope goes to die. Still, it has jokes, though, and it’s been proven repeatedly over the years that people love clicking on articles that are just a bunch of embedded tweets. So Paste pulled up its tweet-embedding pants and got to business, and you can find the fruit of our labor below—i.e., the fruit of all these tweeters’ labor.
Okay, I need to catch up on a lot of sleep.
You guys had these impeachment tweets ready to go.

There’s no better summary of the Trump presidency than him spending the day he was impeached angrily tweeting, getting a crowd to chant “toilets!”, and tormenting a widow

little known house rule. if impeachment is successful and you’re the only one who votes “pres” while running for pres, well, you become the next president. smart move by tulsi.

Imagine my surprise that the person who cast the wrong vote during an impeachment and then had to correct it was a Republican.

Really sneaky of congress to news dump this impeachment vote so it gets buried by reviews of Cats.

The only thing more depressing than the president responding to impeachment with a 6-page “the jerk store called” letter is that we’re all like “yeah no of course he did”

Although impeachment is absolutely the correct move, I do miss the days when I didn’t know who Doug Collins was.
