    If they think it’s the radical left advocating for the expected and traditional use of law as written and to it’s normal effect, boy howdy have they got another thing coming.

    No matter how radical any republican may think the left could be, the current people in charge are both actively protecting pedophiles, and are, themselves, guilty of abusing children.

    Maybe we need some radical left right now, eh? Maybe the child rapists shouldn’t be in charge.

      Well these are the same folks with pedos running their hometown church. Pedophiles run deep in the church I expect them to elect them without thought

      can trump even be impeached anymore? as legally, whatever he does isn’t a crime?

      legally, he’s a tyrant and the law protects him.

        Impeachment doesn’t go through the courts but is entirely a matter for Congress. They can impeach him for anything or nothing as long as they have the votes.

    I wouldn’t be getting my hopes up.

    If there’s one thing watching US politics, from Europe these last +20 years, has taught me, then it’s this:

    Even with a solid majority, the house and senate democrats will be too full of individual self-interests too do anything of the sort.

    The democrats need something like the heritage foundation to effectively herd them into a unified collaborating political party.

      It’s not individual self-interests, it’s pretty blatant corruption to protect their donors, the US oligarchs. Any real investigation into republicans will implicate “democrat” billionaires as well.

      If a Democrat said what Mike Johnson was saying, the party would kick that person out for being unelectable.

      Democrats don’t want anyone interested in impeachment. They want serious, moderate, business friendly, popular politicians like Henry Cuellar and Robert Menendez.

    My concern if the dems do impeach Trump IF they win the midterms is that either he will not step down (which he can technically do) and then it’s moot. Or we impeach Trump, get Vance and then because he didn’t suck as bad as Trump we get another 4 years of a republican president.
