We can also soothe iamnotgrumpy’s disappointment by including [a Democratic House bill recently discussed in a concurrent thread](https://www.abc4.com/news/politics/presidents-twice-impeached-cant-be-buried-at-arlington-or-receive-federal-funding-house-bill-proposes/), to the effect that certain types of federal memorialization of former Presidents may not be used for any Presidents who have been twice impeached.

Mind you, there’s nothing stupid about not wanting to use taxpayer money to commemorate a lying America-hating fuckstick like Donald Trump. But it is stupid and petty, as [Dr.Winston\_OBoogie](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-trump-administration-a-clusterfuck-in-the-making-part-deux-part-1/911083/9947) pointed out, to try to enforce that preference via a law framed in general terms that is nonetheless obviously tailored to the case of Trump in particular.

Ever since the Clinton administration Republicans have made it quite clear that for them, impeachment indicates nothing except which party a legislator belongs to. So trying to make government censure of Trump dependent on his impeachment status is pointless and dumb.

So there you go folks, an actual Stupid Liberal Idea to point and laugh at! What’s that, maybe the third or fourth so far in this nearly-8000-post thread?
