I despised the last Republican administration, but there was no point from 2000-2008 that I would have advocated impeachment.

I would and did. Trump hasn't yet taken the country into a pointless war based on lies and caused the deaths of thousands of Americans and tens of thousands of Iraqis. And has only advocated torture, while Bush did it. Not to say that Trump WON'T do those things, but he hasn't yet.

Bush's Buddies (TM) also outed a CIA agent in order to justify their lies about the war. Bush then commuted Scooter's sentence because the alternative would have been the impeachment and removal of Cheney. The evil that administration is beyond belief.
 
CNN needs to learn to stop using headlines worded such as "Why the latest WH crisis is such a big deal".

They expire too quickly! A new crisis pops up so fast that you click that link on the home page and find it to be old news.

Speaking of integrity lost: The Tarnishing of H.R. McMaster - One of America’s finest soldiers has been dragged into Trump’s swamp of deceit.
McMaster has built his entire reputation—the past 20 years of his career—on his embodiment and celebration of honesty. He first came to prominence, as an Army major, with a Ph.D. dissertation-turned-book arguing that the U.S. military’s top generals betrayed their constitutional duties by failing to give civilian leaders their unvarnished military advice during the Vietnam War. The book was titled Dereliction of Duty: Johnson, McNamara, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and the Lies That Led to Vietnam, and it was a critique of the deceit that ruled Washington in a dreadful time.

Oh man.

A senior official in the Trump administration, who previously worked on the president’s campaign, offered a candid and brief assessment of the fallout from that string of bad press: “I don’t see how Trump isn’t completely **********.”

I'm having a hard time seeing how this isn't obstruction of justice. And I'm pretty sure that obstruction of justice is impeachable. Whether Congress has the stones to stand up and say "No more", though, is yet to be seen.

It was for Nixon.

I long for the days when blurting out classified info to our adversary in the oval office was the worst thing the president could do.

I remember it like it was yesterday.

I admit it: I didn't think it through. Yeah, the torture was far over the line for me.

The rest? Further detailed discussion would lead to a derail but I didn't consider the rest of the actions you describe as impeachable; I can see where others would, but for various reasons I didn't.
