I've written this multiple times in the last few months. I'll keep doing it because people need to get the message: There isn't going to be an impeachment, and even if there were, it would fail.
The impeachment process requires cooperation from both houses of congress. A simple majority in the house of representatives must vote to approve articles of impeachment. Then the Senate decides what to do with them. They can hold a trial or they can just vote. Conviction requires a 2/3 majority of the Senate. This is why both attempts to impeach Trump previously already failed. The Senate Republicans simply moved to an immediate vote and killed it.
Now, consider that Republicans currently hold a majority in both houses. THERE WILL BE NO IMPEACHMENT barring a major upset in the midterm elections. Even then it is almost guaranteed to fail. Impeachment is not going to save us.
i think everyone realises that there will be no impeachment, but it’s useful to point out that any single 1 of these acts SHOULD result in impeachment and that it’s REPUBLICANS as a whole that are betraying their role in the system; not ONLY a single man
I dunno about you, but I wanna see how many impeachments Trump can rack up before he leaves office/dies. I'm hoping for at least triple digits.
That would just prove that we have no real consequences for breaking our laws if you're the president and that impeachments are toothless.
Yeah. And would that matter? If things are going downhill no matter what, I want some excitement.
It's good to know the suffering of American citizens is your preferred form of entertainment.
Everything he does can be grounds for impeachment, but if the republicans control all branches of government even if impeached (he was impeached 3 times last time) they will never remove him from office.
EDIT: Y'all notice a common pattern on all those "peace officers" on the picture?
They all seem like they whistle Dixie?
They all look like Confederate zombies taken from the pages of the Time Life Book The Civil War and their family tree is a pole?
