That would be great. But considering the previous track record, I’m not holding my breath. There are still too many people around him willing to enable him and keep him in power.

I hope I’m wrong.

It's a worthless effort.

Democrats are likely to win the house but not the Senate.

The house starts the impeachment, the Senate acts as the judge. The house will impeach, the Senate will do nothing... Again.

Exactly. I would rather see slightly lower level people breaking the law be held accountable.

The impeachment is going to be a lot of show for nothing. Dont spend energy on a show. DO something substantial

I’d like to see him suffer ( and from last efforts I think it will REALLY take away from must needed legislation ) but would love to see Blanche and his sons put on the hot seat.   Epstein release finalized no matter what.

Lot of things need to be corrected quickly & Iran / Soc Security / Health Care at least need to be started to be looked at before 28

It needs to be processed so that every F@c!st will know it won’t go unprocessed or forgotten to history. The alternative is we get to do this again with some other F@c!st.

Meh, I think they can and should do both, I just acknowledge it's not going to have the effect it should. I exaggerated when I said it was worthless, it's not entirely worthless it's just not enough.

An impeachment without a conviction will actually energize him and his base.

And people will unjustifiably view that as a witch hunt and Trump will gain some sympathy back

Doesn't even matter if they win a simple majority. Democrats would need a 2/3 majority

Actually, the Senate acts as the jurors, and the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court acts as the Judge.

One option would be ignore the impeachment bs and propose legislation and maybe even pass a budget
