    Issue is, that won’t necessarily happen, because a lot of democrats are cowards, and the right knows it. Many on the right calls this move of calling the opposition radicals in this way as a form of “cucking”, so it shames some of them into preemptively conceding.

      It will happen with a Democrat majority. It just doesn’t mean anything because unless they have a supermajority and can get enough reps to agree on removal, impeachment ≠ removal from office. It’s just the start of a trial to consider his removal. It’s basically a slap on the wrist for him. He’s already been impeached twice and nothing happened.

    Impeaching the kumquat in chief, at this point, is pointless. Even without the brainless leader, the system and people that allowed him to gain the office and to systematically destroy the United States economy, among other things, is still in place. Another crackpot maniacal leader is inevitable.

    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.

      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.

    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 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.
