    Until and unless Democrats control a majority of both the house and senate impeachment and conviction just isn’t going to happen. I don’t think there’s anything Trump could do that would get the Republicans to vote against him short of maybe rounding up a bunch of them and having them publicly executed and maybe not even then. The only way it’s remotely happening is if Democrats don’t need a single Republican to vote with them and for good measure they should count on not having a few of the Democrats vote in favor as well.

    If/when Trump and his cronies are finally removed from power the US needs major political changes to make sure this shit never happens again.

      Conviction will never happen unless they get a 2/3rd majority in the senate becuase that is what it takes.

      …so basically conviction will never happen
