Finally? He's already been impeached. Twice.
The next step would be to have him removed from office, but that requires a 2/3 majority of the Senate to agree on it.

Yeah, but saying impeached and convicted in the senate just doesnt have the same sting. It is what I mean so, yeah, I dont know. You're 100% correct.

That he hadn’t been impeached and convicted proves that America’s constitution is now a failure. The founding fathers tried and did okay for ~250 years, but the document does not work anymore.
The document is only as good as the people elected to execute on it.
Yeah, in the end of relies on good faith across all branches, which is obviously not where the US is right now. Mostly because representatives are isolated from their constituency as opposed to initially where you would have to actually deal with the people in your district.
A large portion of that has to do with Congress limiting their size back in 1929. It turned the House into a second Senate, undermining its purpose. Without that limit Congress would actually represent constituents because the divisions would actually be small enough to effectively do so. Instead we have districts representing millions of people and others representing just a hundred thousand but with the same voting power. The House no longer represents the population and hasn't for nearly 100 years.
The Supreme Court should have been expanded as the federal judicial circuits did. There should be a Justice overseeing each federal circuit, of which there are 12 now. The precedent was set in 1807 when they added a 7th justice to match the new 7th circuit, and 1837 when it expanded to 9 for the new 8th and 9th circuits, and 1863 expanded to 10 for the 10th circuit. They retracted to 7 in 1866 to limit Andrew Johnson and then back to 9 in 1869 after Johnson was out of office. And it has sat there ever since. That clearly was not intended to be the case, but here we are.
Yep, agreed on all points.

This is why hierarchical power structures will always be doomed to fail. All it takes is one person of ill intent to obtain a seat of power to begin entrenching themselves into that position of power by abusing their control over how the rules as written are interpreted.
This is why power must come from the bottom up so that, when this inevitably happens, the people have the confidence in their power to remove the perpetrator from office and have them replaced.
You mean for a third time? Fat lot of good the first two did
I mean yes please do it. But will anything happen? But yes please do it.
At least half of all US voters is okay with all this, no?
The Fanta Menace won the popular vote with 51% and Harris had 48%. A third of registered voters didn’t vote.
One third voted against fascism, one third voted for fascism, and the final third is complicit in enabling fascism since they didn’t vote.
Democracy is a participation sport and if you sit on the fucking sidelines you get what you deserve
That's not actually true. He won with 49.8% of the vote and Harris got 48.3%. So he didn't even win a majority.
Thanks for the correction. I was going off memory but clearly was incorrect.
No prob! Happy to help!
Crazy how much that 1.5% could have changed

correct
Trump has destroyed the standing of the presidency. Congress has destroyed the impact of impeachment.
Nothing comes from this shit

Jesus. I know everyone is exhausted but you all doth protest too much.

Seriously though, bombing Iran has been a multi-generaltional bi-partisan wet dream since the bombs stopped dropping in WWII. Nobody is impeaching him for this - like two weeks ago Schumer was goading him for 'being weak' for negotiating with 'the terrorist nation of Iran'. There might be 5 people in total in congress who oppose a war with Iran.
Impeachment has been rendered unimportant and ineffective thanks to trump.

Sure but they actually have to remove the Cheeto stained TACO from office for it to mean anything at this point.
5 impeachments, Nobel prizes, same thing right?
Cool. They impeach him, the Senate barely takes it seriously, we move on.
I am not saying we shouldn't impeach him, I am saying, don't expect anything to come from it .
OMG Liar Liar. One of my childhood favorites!
Tell me you don't understand America without saying you don't understand America. Nearly 50% of the population would be willing to die for their great leader, they are also the 50% of Americans that are armed.
Check your numbers.
Also, youre probably referring to:
If trump is not enough proof that americans give zero fucks.... I dont know what to tell you.
