In another context, "impeach" means to sully someone's reputation, as in "To impeach his good name". In that context, although she probably didn't mean it that way, Pelosi was right when she said that Trump is doing a better job of impeaching himself than Congress could ever do, or words to that effect. Okay, back to the constitutional context now. If the Dems have no intention of impeaching Trump, then why do they keep investigating him? Possibly to avenge the hatchet job that the Reps did on Hillary? Although that would be justified under the "Turnabout is fair play" doctrine, it would seem to be just as frivolous a waste of time and energy as it was when the Reps did it. Whatever happened to the "Two wrongs don't make a right" doctrine?
Nixon didn't "do" Watergate, at least not by himself. Many knowledgeable people (okay, the Birchers) believed at the time that Nixon was just a puppet of David Rockefeller and his ilk. If not, then why didn't Nixon destroy the Watergate tapes, or not even record them in the first place? Although people today have been known to make a video of themselves committing a crime and post it on You Tube, Nixon should have known better, since they hadn't closed down all the mental institutions yet. Be that as it may, if you ask most people today what the worst thing was that Nixon did, they will say "Watergate". Sure there was plenty of news about Taiwan and Vietnam, but most people focused on Watergate nevertheless. Although it certainly is possible to walk and chew gum at the same time, many people don't seem to be interested in doing it.
Speaking of plenty of news: If there is plenty of news today about the border, then why does a self proclaimed news junkie like Uncle Ken persist in denying that it is a problem? Last I heard, even the immigrant advocacy groups were complaining that they couldn't process them as fast as they were being caught and released.
I don't know for a fact that Trump is planning to dump South Korea an Israel, I was just speculating. Why else would he be kissing up to their mortal enemies?
I certainly was a big fan of Peter, Paul, and Mary back in the day, but that's not why I posted the link to that song. The other link I posted was about some clown who was busted for passing out free candy to kids at a bus stop. Turned out that he was just a nice old man who had done this on his birthday for years. The news article reminded me of that old song, which I found on You Tube.
