    I don’t support impeachment. I support his demise.

    Reading his obituary will be more celebrated by me than my own birthday.

        I would actually prefer an impeachment and removal from office. That would actually be a huge step in unfucking our current situation

          You are basically saying “if we unfucked our current situation then we could impeach and remove him from office”, because the impossibility of holding him accountable is part of the problem.

      While I agree that fascists like him should be afraid to go out in public, that particular fascist dying would make him a martyr. He needs to live long enough to be convicted again and actually serve jail time.

        That is silly because the US justice system will never ever do that, you could just as well hope to win the lottery and have better odds. The US justice system is dead, if it ever existed. His demise is a much more realistic hope.

        Also they already act like he is a martyr, it won’t change anything with regards to that.

        He can die of cholesterol.

        There. No martyrdom. Also it’s likely to happen.

        All I have to do is put my feet up, and not call McDonalds and tell them that their food is unhealthy and they should change it.

    Step 1: Vote for Trump.

    Step 2 (less than six months later): Support impeaching Trump.

    What’s up with this group of people? Were they expecting something different?

        Or vote majority dems but still got Trump because your “Democracy” got some middle-men and land-over-people system built-in.

        And even with a fair system, we just saw stupidity at play in Germany. Historically high vote participation of ~82.5% and yet still 28.6% for the so called “(christian) Union” (average Republicans), 20.8% AfD (straight-up Nazis) and 16.4 to 8.8% for Social Dems, Greens and The Left. Only reason we aren’t completely fucked like the US is that there are more parties, and the Union didn’t fully finished cuddling with the Nazis yet (they love to do so though, both domestic as well as US MAGA).

        The moment you got bad education and especially a bad populistic Press democracy stops working and starts deconstructing itself. Not to mention you’ll get both + pissed off people in a completely fucked economical system.

      I think you forget that the second time they got to 54 votes to convict, including multiple Republicans. It’s difficult but not impossible. And even if they don’t get a conviction, which is obviously the most likely outcome, at the very least it distracts the administration and as long as the public supports it it’s a winning issue.

      If you think things will keep marching unimpeded the way they are now with impeachment proceedings going on, I think you forget how disruptive they have been in the past

        and when the inevitable ‘acquittal’ from the senate comes, it will empower him and he’ll crank the shitshow up even more than it already is.

          OK then I guess we shouldn’t impeach him. Cool. Let’s just keep doing what we’re doing. Unless you’ve got some great plan you’re trying to tee up here?

          The only way to beat Trump is to turn the public against him. Until the public turns on him, there is no political will to stop him.

      This time, Congress could stop blowing the cheeto and have him removed. You know, one of the branches keeping the others in check. I know it ain’t likely, but a man can dream.

        At this point they are all so complicit in his crimes that that will never happen, because it will implicate them as well.

    Impeach and Remove. See, I’ve learned impeachment is toothless without that second bit, have to be very specific with expectations.

        It isn’t possible, because the system couldn’t give less fucks about what a majority of voters wants, it is all about what congress wants. You know, the criminals who belong to the same criminal organisation as Trump.

    Republicans in the Senate are terrified he’ll wreck their careers. I genuinely don’t know what it would take for him to be removed, besides his MAGAt supporters actually calling to have him out of office (we’re past the point of reason). Though, most are too stupid to know when they’re getting screwed until the bill is served.

    If we can’t impeach him, find a deserted island in the middle of the pacific and beach him
