-We should remember Trump's senility and age, which have impaired his judgement and intelligence and eroded his ability to think before he speaks. His supporters will say that he is only an old man not entirely in his right mind when he makes those threats, and therefore they aren't real "crimes".
-As for Johnson: society was vastly different then. He became President only because his predecessor (Lincoln) was assassinated, and he clearly was unsuited for the job. But unlike with Trump now, Congress was not "with" him, and thought him to be an embarrasment that obstructed the genteel public image they wanted for Washington. And after nearly being impeached because of his behavior, Johnson got the message and left (Trump, in contrast, was entirely unfazed by his impeachment hearings).
This is all good and useful information, but Trump's supporters will always find SOME goddamn reason to be against his impeachment, and in any case, forcing them to argue that he's senile and doesn't know what he's doing might not be the worst move. Regarding impeachment based on the idea that an elected official should behave reasonably and not endanger people - it does sound a bit quaint, but could actually be a rallying cry against continuing to let the most amoral dipshits among us set the standard of what's normal and permissible.
Impeach the motherfucker.
“The asshole in Chief” chef’s kiss.
I know the header picture is Tommy Lee Jones, but what MOVIE is that from?

The one where he says, "I don't care."

Thanks, MAGA. Back atcha.
