The House Of Representatives officially impeached Donald Trump, the 45th President of the United States, on Wednesday (December 18).
It marks only the third time in U.S. history a president has been impeached, joining Andrew Johnson and Bill Clinton. Subsequently, “#Impeachmas” has become a trending topic on Twitter.
According to CNN, The House passed both articles of impeachment — abuse of power and obstruction of Congress — after over eight hours of debates. The fight now goes to the Senate, where a two-thirds majority is needed to remove Trump from office, or 67 lawmakers in a chamber currently divided among 53 Republicans, 45 Democrats and two independents who caucus with the Democrats.
The current POTUS learned of the vote tallies as he was speaking on stage at his nearly two-hour campaign rally in Michigan on Wednesday evening. Naturally, he seized the moment to brag about Republican unity. [apple_news_ad type=”any”]
Following the vote, Trump shared a meme on Twitter featuring a photo of himself and the words, “In reality, they’re not after me they’re after you. I’m just in the way.”
But despite Trump’s usual bravado, several Hip Hop artists and celebrities alike shared their excitement on social media, including Pete Rock, Sage Francis, Blockhead, Noname, Michael Rapaport, Lizzo, Meek Mill and Kehlani.
Check out some of the reactions below.
The left are still salty after so many years. Trump will win by a landslide in 2020.
Why are you on a site dedicated to hip hop culture if you support a bigot? Hip hop is about diversity and a voice for the disenfranchised. Trump stands for separatism and denounces minorities. If that’s what you’re about, shouldn’t you be on a white power site?
Listen to what you just wrote ‘Hip hop is about diversity and a voice for the disenfranchised’. Too bad you are too ignorant to see that that was the old Hip Hop for maybe a second. It didn’t take long to sell out. Your social justice warriors are part of the elite; rappers are CIA. Nobody is for the disenfranchised and nobody cares. Can’t you see by now, that nobody becomes a hip hop artist or rapper to help the poor lol! They’re all millionaires and get paid to push propaganda like Hollywood actors. It’s just like the dumb people who follow Rage Against The Machine, without knowing Tom Morello is a whiny millionaire pushing socialism. Yep, he drives a 100k car and still acts like a ‘renegade’ for the people. GTFOH! Trump doesn’t like border jumpers and Muslims. I don’t blame him who wants religious extremists that behead people and throw gay people off rooftops here. You want to support half of Honduras? Go ahead and give them your check. Let them keep pushing blacks out of their neighborhoods so Guatemala can move in. I’m not white either, but to call him a racist is a lazy thing to do and proves your DNC masters have trained you well.
Bigot? Hiphop literally loved Trump until their corporate masters told them not to. Mac Miller liked him. Method Man even had him feature in his own album…
Trump does not denounce minorities, in fact, he caters to them in many cases. First step act? He repealed the Clinton Crime Bill, which locked up millions of black men… Trump used to be praised by AL Sharpton and Jesse Jackson for his donations and work with African American organizations. Trump was awarded the bipartisan criminal justice reform award, given and chosen by 10 black Democrats, and 10 black Republicans. Black America is benefiting very much so fro. TRUMP criminal justice reform and axxing stringent economic regulations on inner cities.
Wow, your a complete idiot lol. Still repeat g the corporate media lines… Hint, if establishment Republicans and democrats are agaisnt something, then you should understand its good for u
Lol on your knees boy, Trump is your master now.
1. he is not a bigot. 2. A lot of Blacks Support Trump. 3. Hip Hop is not about Diversity. Its BLACK Music, Its BLACK Culture. 4. Trump does not stand for “separatism and denounces minorities”. He is responsible for the lowest unemployed rate for black and latinos you genius.
There you go right there. Look at what DNC porch jumper wrote. The title is bad enough. Then he admitted that trump doesn’t like muslims and “fence jumpers”. Theres the racism and bigotry I was talking about. Also, you keep talking about unemployment. If people are working for peanuts it really doesnt matter. To get a true picture of the state of the economy, look at the inflation adjusted wages over time as well as the share of wealth in this country over time. Finally, I’m no big supporter of either party, but I cant support the bigotry I alluded to above. Its unconscionable.
Nah, that’s what hiphop started out as. From the 90s up until now, (for the most part) it seems like it’s more about gang/drug culture, uplifting those that take credit for making bad decisions daily, devaluing the areas that they reside in, still belittling women every chance they get (which they’re cool with, unless it happens to be someone they’re close to, fam/friends). Living fast and dying young, pretty much. It’s becoming more of a joke, as each year passes.
Take your diversity and shove it up your disenfranchised ass bitch
I’m pretty sure this means Hillary Clinton will be president now. me, my wife’s boyfriend and his gay lover are planning to cash in our welfare checks to make the trip from Portland to watch her inauguration. My co-worker Jerome will be staying with her while we’re gone. I’m comfortable with that, because I’m pretty sure the racist cops planted that unregistered gun on him, and I love giving back to the black community. They’ve been through so much.
Hahahahahahahahaha! These morans really think this impeachment thing is gonna work?
Its morOn, you moron.
Hahahaha good catch!
It’s moron, not morOn you moron.
I would personally like to thank, Meek Mill, Michael Rappaport, Pete Rock, Noname, Sage Francis, Lizzo and many others, for helping to guarantee my landslide reelection in 2020. Special shout out to Nancy Pelosi and Adam Schiff.
Don’t know why people are celebrating…Impeachment means nothing…the Senate is controlled by the Republicans and there still will be a trial…they will not kick Trump out…but hopefully this will effect his campaign so he won’t win again
Do u see his rallies, dumb dumb? Do you see anyone in the Demonrat party that even comes close? No. He will win. Who the hell do u want as President? explain who is gonna beat him?
Impeachment leads to greater popularity, especially in swing states. Asks Bill Clinton!
Trump’s gonna win in a landslide and I will enjoy watching you little bitches cry about it again and again and again
“hopefully this will effect his campaign so he won’t win again”
haha. don’t count on it.
This gonna hurt the dems for decades. They just lost all the swing states. Also, Every President can now be impeached for no reason. Just dumb by them
Yet it’s completely obvious there is no raw data to lead to bipartisan impeachment in the senate trial. This is purely theatrics. No sane or logical person believes they will successfully impeach him. Trump is doing a great job, and hiphop hating him just further proves how owned they are. Hiphop loved Trump prior to his second run for the presidency. Yes, Trump ran for president in the year 2000 as an independent. Hiphop still loved him, and Trumps ideas have always been public domain. Once the media smeared him, and told everyone to hate him, is when hiphop began to spew their propoganda forced by their masters. Hiphop is owned by the same people that own CNN, Disney, ATT, Sony, Ect…
How many wars has Trump started again? Clinton Gulf War and Middle East, Bush with Iraq, Obama with Syria… Now, Trump is attempting to end the war in Afghanistan AND Syria, and even the republican party won’t let him end these wars. Trump is trying to do something everyone used to pretend to want, now liberals are saying we can’t end our occupation of Syria, after Obama promised year after year that “no Americans boots will touch ground in Syria”. That was a lie!
Literally every single republican president of the past 50 years has had attempts to be impeached by the democratic party. Look it up. It’s true. When they lose elections, they seek to impeach. Republicans do not do this to democrats. They accept loss, and prepare for future elections. Trump isn’t the evil man the corporate media depicts him to be.
looked it up. not true.
Oooo, if liberals hated Trump, then boy oh boy are they in for a treat with Mike Pence, a TRUE Conservative. TRUMP is not far right. His policy is reminiscent of Clinton Era democrats, with some tweaks. More like Regan I guess. With that said, Pence is the conservative man liberals have been bred to hate.
Lol if only those ppl had a brain and knew how impeachmenta actually work they wouldnt be so happy. Not only will he not be impeached for w.e it is theyre tryna get him on now. Hell win 2020
Except, he did get impeached. There’s a distinction between impeachment and removal, one which you seem to not know.
So what? After all this bullshit Trump is still gonna be president. The democrats have wasted all that effort and he’s still in office. Lmao what a joke. Good luck in 2020, you’re gonna need it!
True. So rly the word impeachment means absolutely nithing but an empty win for losers. He aint going nowhere and prob a lock for reelection
Why are the comments on a rap website dominated by racists?
Where? I read every comment down the thread so far. A few of them mentioned black and latino unemployment rates are at historic lows. Those are the only ones that even mention race. Are you against black and latino people having jobs? That’s pretty racist of you.
Racist is a word black folks now use 2 guilt trip white folks into agreeing w or blindly siding w u.. not workkng no more #maga
If you fawn over a bigot and help make him the most powerful man in the world, you are a racist.
Trigger words no longer matter. His policies set more jobs for minorities than anytime in the last 3 presidencies. Prision reform bills and more. Do ur homework and stop looking for ur info on twitter
Where are the racists??? You Ignant should realize that not everyone who has a different opinion than you is a racist. There are black, latino, Asian, female, Gay etc. Trump Supporter
“Hip hop is here for it” that’s why these cats stay in the slums and OD’ing. Thanks for handing him the re-election win, our only hope is Yang now.
JfC this comment section is such a mess…
I’m not a supporter of Trump any political entity for that matter, but just so people know….this impeachment is purely symbolic. Because of the way the political system is at this time , nothing is going to change as a result of this.
Democratic party has done nothing but cry. Whine. make up false hoax crimes and push for impeachment bc theyte still upset over trump beating us.. im over the dems. Im officially off the wagon going indy. Embarrassment is an under statement
Facts bro. I’m done with these clowns. The most embarrassing thing is how they acting like this a win for them somehow. I’ll vote independent in 2020.
How is that any different than what the gop did during Obama’s time? Face it both parties suck.
Did Barack get impeached? That would be the beginning of the differences. You know, the TOPIC OF THE ARTICLE and what everyone here is talking about? SMH. I swear, just let Democrat’s talk. That’ll win it for the Orange Man.
Remember back in the 90s when hip hop was riding Trump’s dick? I do lol.
I am a lifelong democrat. The Democratic Party has gone insane. This little stunt is just gonna make trump more popular. We’ve also got Biden saying marijuana is a gateway drug, all he needs to do now is come out against abortion and gay marriage. If Biden gets the nod this is a done deal. I honestly don’t see how the Democrats can win this one. Bloomberg gets the nomination we have a chance. He won’t
>I am a lifelong democrat.
Sure, Jan
First voted for Bill buddy. Twice for Obama. Lost two elections with Jr. Do you think I’m a Russian bit? LOL. I’ll vote for Jesse sommelet if he gets the Democratic nod. He has more of a chance than Biden.
At this point Trump shouldn’t even campaign anymore. Just let the democrats do their thing and watch the votes come pouring in.
It appears the Cheeto defenders/trolls have infiltrated the comments.
Remember, Trump’s dad and Trump used to bar blacks from living in their buildings back in the 70’s, and Trump’s dad was also in the KKK.
It’s these arguments that help the guy get elected. LOL. Just stop. Focus on his policies, no one cares about the impeachment either. If Biden gets the nom, he will win. Anyone who gives a shit about him being racist and who his dad was, isn’t voting for him. Like me. Black people weren’t welcome in most establishments south of the Bronx in the 70’s. NY, LA and CHI were some racist ass spots. And?
It’s so easy to see who’s dumb nowadays…everybody thinks impeachment means he’s not gonna be the president anymore. It doesn’t, this was simply a stunt for those unintelligent people to persuade their vote next year. This ruling can be translated to “we want Trump’s boys to kick him out of office…and when they don’t we’re gonna cry about it up til elections.” This is their campaign strategy, and it’s sad. They pretty much just wrapped up his 2nd term for him with a bow by pulling this childish nonsense. This is exactly why I don’t vote, I refuse to cosign adults acting like children and running the country. No matter what side you vote for you’re getting fucked. Unless you like it, who would contribute to their own ass fucking? People literally pick a side that could give a shit about you other than when you vote, and blindly ride for it…it’s mind boggling
“hip hop is here for it” cut to 11 tweets, two of which were by the same person (Michael Rappaport) who is a sports announcer/actor who once produced a documentary about ATCQ. Beyond that, they had to reach pretty deep into the underground to make their point that there were rappers who cared about this, and of the mainstream ones, one of them is a flute player and one of them (Meek) seems to be so dumb that he thinks this means Trump is no longer president. And who tf cares what Sole from Anticon records thinks? Or Aesop Rock’s producer from the 2000s Blockhead?
nancy Pelosi laid the smack down with glee. I am 34 but when I was a teenager i would identify with the left in general. more to do with gay rights, anti-war and atheism. Obama was not what he was being portrayed to be. i would have voted for him the first time, but not the second. look, politicians, they flip flop they point the finger at one another, they are paid well and they are puppets on strings for the mafia, the shirts and no ties. i support trump i think he has the right ideas to make America great again if pence takes over i will support him too. a great America is a great England, a great America is a great Australia and so on. on the internet it is like you are the only right winger in the world lol. M.A.G.A..
if you think the left is anti-war, you aren’t paying attention….real attention.
The nightmare is almost over. He was never my president. Trump betrayed the america people. The cops need to arrest him after his ONE AND ONLY TERM. It will take 20 years or more to repair the damage he caused to this country. Did he make america great again? No! He did make himself rich though.
Wow. You’re helping dude get re-elected with all of that there. SMH. Are you getting paid by his campaign or what? LOL. Ridiculous.
Yo someone understands, the impeachment was probably the best thing that could happen to the Republicans. And people know that the one and a million chance hes impeached, it means your stuck with mike pence for the time being
Stop watching fox news all day! U live inside a bubble and don’t even realize it. Think for yourself!
Trump should be impeached. Lunatic, lier, loser, lazy, cheater, adultery, and trader are trump’s best qualities. The TRUMP CULT IS ALMOST OVER. 2020 MAGA….My Ass is Going to be Annihilated in jail.
1. He was impeached. You obviously don’t know what that means. Clinton was too. There has never been a US president who was removed from office after being impeached. 2. You need to learn how to spell buddy. This is how you spell LIAR and TRAITOR. the term is ADULTERER. You must be trolling. Again, morons like yourself and this whole impeachment joke is going to get him elected. Watch. I’m a democrat BTW. I’ll vote for whoever the dems put against him. If it isn’t Bloomberg or Bernie, we don’t have a chance.
Its uneducated venom spewing liberals why hell get relected again. Were sick of yall holier than thou artitudes.
Do people know what impeached even means? Get used to trump, hes not going anywhere. It actually astounds me that grown people are celebrating. Read for once, it takes god damn minutes to understand what’s actually happened, all impeached means is he will go to court with the Senate where he needs a 2/3 vote to be removed from office. Sounds cut and dry? No because the Democrats used the basis for this impeachment on testimony of a person who supposedly can never reveal themselves. In the Senate, witness must be present for there statement to count, they already talked about delaying the Senate hearing because the dems fucked up.
