    What good does impeachment do? They stay in office after they’re impeached, nothing changes. It’s just Congress throwing a fit. It gives them a chance to go on record for or against Trump, but we all know the score there, so that’s pointless, too.

      Impeachment is the first step in bringing formal charges against the president. Assuming they have the will to convict (still a massive assumption at this point), it would represent a decisive move toward ending Trump’s presidency.

        Fine, he’s convicted of something. Who will show up and physically throw them out on their ass? It would take military action, “boots on the ground”, to do that. I don’t expect that will happen. So, it’s all for show, no matter how much paper gets shuffled.

        The way I see it, the only hope we have is if many of the top brass in our military are quietly plotting against them, holding on to their office, and biding their time, waiting for them to defy the election in 2028.
