Love it, but you don't just need a majority. You need a majority in the House to impeach, and a 2/3 majority in the Senate to convict (or 2/3 Senators from either party willing to convict, but I'm assuming no Republican does so)

America [waving gun around]: Ahahahah. Ahahaha. What are you scared? America’s friends: Just chill out! You’re acting crazy right now. America’s kids: [Ugly sobs] America: Look at you all freaking out for nothing. [Puts gun to head.] You all are so stupid. It isn’t even lo …

High Definition television never looks quite right to me, and while I haven't figured out the reason, I think that it might be similar to why so many music aficionados prefer vinyl: the sound is warmer and more inviting, much as the visuals seem warmer in the older shows on older televisions.
