Ah yes, I remember Obama getting impeached for bombing Syria.
And for that matter, Trump getting impeached for killing Soleimani, the leader of Iran, while he was in Iraq.
Soleimani was the commander of the Quds Force, a division of the Iranian military and high-ranking official but he wasn't the leader of Iran.
not with the house in the hands of republicans.
Best hope there is enough democracy left in the US to swing it back to the Dems in 2026.
And even then, without a comfortable majority for the Dems in the senate it will just be another impeachment to add to the pile, no conviction.
They don't call him teflon don for no reason
Dont get your hopes up. The democrats have yet to show any ability to regain seats. they'll likely just swing harder towards Cheney and get rocked again.

They had a better chance of impeaching him for Jan 6th for actual insurrection than they do this time. Why? Because there are so many legal loop holes with the War Time Powers Act and the 2001 Authorization of The Use of Military Force. These loopholes were used by both Bush Jr. and Obama for various justifications for air strikes so the precedent is already there. Don't get your hopes up and chalk up it up political theater. It's also a distraction from what's going on. Thanks again to Twatter being that megaphone of "HEY LOOK OVER HERE!"
We haven't declared war since WW2. Everything has been AUMF, which can be done within 60 days retroactively. As always, the government is checks and balances, so if Congress refuses to exercise its powers and let the executive do whatever, it's a moot point.
I think it'd only lead to impeachment if Congress wants us gone within 60 days and Trump refuses, continues without an AUMF, and then Congress actually had the balls to push back at that point.
But if someone is more familiar with the legal processes involved here, please do correct me or add to this.
So? Nothing will ever come with it.
Can anyone explain what happened to the articles of impeachment that were introduced a few months ago?
Not happening. Next quotum
The problems, the House and Senate are controlled by the Russian supporting MAGA clowns. I believe Mango Mussolini has a 60 day window before he needs to end the military engagement against Iran. For the moment, a drunk, a felon and Signal App are controlling the US military.
So is everything else he's done. Not seeing it happen any time soon.
We have seen impeachment means fuck all though
