This morning the House Judiciary Committee voted along party lines to forward two articles of impeachment to the full House of Representatives for a vote that could take place as early as next week.

And with that “#Impeached” is a top 5 trend on Twitter, at least partly because there seems to be some misunderstanding of how it all works:
This is how reliable @Twitter trends are. #Impeached is trending and lefties here are reporting @realDonaldTrump has been impeached. He has not been. That only happens after a vote of the full house. How can they know so little yet yell so loudly? So weird.

#Impeached LOL. Lots of Twitter political n00bs out there who don't fully understand how this all works.
Do they still have civics classes in school?

I don’t think anyone issuing this #Impeached hashtag to celebrate has any idea how impeachment works.
1. Trump was not impeached today
2. Trump will not necessarily leave office if he DOES get impeached because y’all don’t have the votes in the Senate
3. You like Mike Pence?— Jennifer Schoewe (@js_conservative) December 13, 2019
When you see #Impeached is trending and realize how many people actually think @realDonaldTrump was impeached today. This is very telling of the problems facing this Country. pic.twitter.com/2pbdtrwagZ

A buzzkill moment of realization might hit at some point over the weekend. And if Trump is impeached by the House, how many on the Left will think that means he’s no longer president? Stay tuned.
