Would you mind pointing out which of the conservatives and/or FOX News called for Obama to be impeached a month or so after being sworn in?

Why would they? Obama had done nothing worthy of impeachment.

Trump's already done more worthy of impeachment than Nixon. The only difference is that 40 years ago, we lived in a different world. Trump is able to flaunt norms and maintain the belief that he is above the law because he has no one in his party with the cajones to challenge him. If he had to deal with independent minded, patriotic Republicans like Nixon did - people who valued the law and our institutions above one person or party - Trump would already be gone.

Can you imagine any past President getting away with routinely funneling business, including government meetings, to hotels and resorts that he personally owns? Talk about violation of the emoluments clause.

The level of enabling and excuse-making is mind-boggling.
