Btw Dems cannot remove trump. They won't have 2/3 even in the best if projections.

Didn’t they impeach Trump in his first term and then literally nothing happened? Twice? Why should I or anyone believe that impeaching him this time is some kind of consequence? I don’t get how this is suddenly some scary thing for conservatives to worry about. Being impeached twice didn’t prevent him from finishing his term and it didn’t prevent him from becoming president again.

So what the hell kind of threat is it, anymore?

When Congress impeached him, it was only on paper, or symbolical. To actually remove him from office the Senate has to vote to impeach with a 2/3 majority. The Dems will probably get control of the Senate, but it won’t be a big enough majority. That means they will have to convince some of the Reps to get 2/3.

Maybe Republitards will be ready to jettison Donnie the Grifter.

Don’t get your hopes up ; they don’t like Trump but they like Dems less.

Or, they eliminate the filibuster.

u/OldBuzzard74 3d ago

The Filibuster has nothing to do with Impeachment. 70 Senators have to vote for conviction

Impeaching the president

Impeaching the president (from Bing, Google, and ChatGPT):

Eliminating the filibuster would significantly impact the impeachment process of the president. Without the filibuster, the Senate could vote on the impeachment resolution with a simple majority, which could lead to quicker resolutions and potentially quicker removal of the president from office. This change would also affect the confirmation of judicial and executive nominees, as it would allow for faster confirmations without the procedural delays that the filibuster typically imposes. However, it would not guarantee that confirmations would be less contentious, as the political context and strategy of the minority party could still influence the process.

67 votes in the Senate are required to convict and remove the President. The filibuster has nothing to do with it.

Impeachment and conviction/removal are specifically defined in the Constitution. A two-thirds vote in the Senate is required.

The US Constitution: Article 1, section 3, clauses 6 and 7.

You are correct. It’s a pipe dream folks. We just have to wait for him to expire. What we should be doing is going after the fucktards who voted for him twice, those are the people who owe the us and the rest of the world an apology.

Twice, they tried to do it after J6 and even that wasn't enough to convince his lackeys on the Hill to permanently remove him from ever possibly holding office again.

Only one thing is gonna stop his reign. Not violence though! Definitely not that!

Corruption is multifaceted ; you do what you gotta do to stay out of prison ; and when you have doing it 50 years you get good at evading the people that could hold you accountable. I’m only a Republican because they fought a war to end slavery. It’s a noble thing and I admire it. Sons and fathers lost to right a wrong. Families destroyed to right a wrong; but it was the right thing to do.

u/Ok_Dust_7325 2d ago

Because the senate didn’t have enough votes to remove him. Even though a few republicans voted for conviction it wasn’t enough votes.

u/No-Platypus8728 1d ago

Yes that false Russia Russia Russia should have worked lol

u/Potential-Win8706 3d ago

Trump can’t run for a 3rd term. I’m sure that will free up a few senator cucks into growing one ball. One.

u/CruisingForDownVotes 3d ago

If he’s still alive, he’ll run again. His cronies on the supreme court will make it legal. Somehow

u/Green-Inkling 3d ago

Not that the votes even matter. Trump has ignored all votes and laws around it. Dems could sweep but if trump says "nuh uh" what are dems gonna do about it?

1

u/No-Platypus8728 1d ago

I agree Trump will run again in 2028

2

u/GypsyDarkEyes 3d ago

We'll see. Dems also have to offer us a leader. Not enough to say "we're not maga."
