Google Searches For 'President Impeachment', 'Canada Immigration', 'Nuclear Shelter' Skyrocket After Trump's Victory
As people celebrate Trump's victory in the United States (and many come to terms with it), the search trend on Google illustrates what's going on in many's minds. Searches for "how to impeach a president", for instance, have gone up 4,850 percent. Similarly, searches for "how to move to Canada", "are people moving to Canada", "list of people moving to Canada", "immigrate to Canada", "list of people moving to Canada if Trump wins" and "where to move if Trump wins" were also very popular, toot. Amid all of this, searches for "nuclear shelter" have skyrocketed as well.
Deja vu. In the aftermath of Brexit, Brits had shown a lot of interest in making Google searches about Irish passport, meaning of EU, and why it all happened.

High Crimes and Misdemeanors. In the history of the US, only two Presidents have been impeached (Andrew Johnson and Bill Clinton), but none have ever been removed. Can't start until President Trump takes office - and then does something that is a High Crime and Misdemeanor.
Browsing at +1 - no ACs, I ignore their posts. So refreshing!
No, Clinton was was impeached for perjury in front of a Grand Jury, in which he was being investigated for sexual assault (an assault that he later paid off with $850,000 and surrender of his law license). That's an actual crime - you cannot commit perjury, you cannot lie to a Grand Jury, and you should NOT be able to commit sexual assault.

Interestingly, both were Democrats.
It's only interesting if you are a ridiculously partisan Republican. Both of them were impeached for "crimes" that really were covers for an effort to remove them from office for political reasons rather than any actual serious crimes. Basically it tells you that Republicans will fight incredibly dirty and use any tactic no matter how unsavory.
