Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) on Sunday predicted that Democrats will impeach Trump for a third time between his two presidencies if they take control of the House after the November midterm elections.
Jordan suggested in an interview on “Cats Roundtable,” the WABC 770 AM radio show hosted by John Catsimatidis, that Democrats will take the legislative branch’s oversight capability “and turn it into a weaponization of government.”
“They say they’re not going to, but we know they will –– they’ll do a third impeachment of President Trump,” Jordan told the host. “But that’s just part of it. They’re going to investigate the first family, they’re going to investigate cabinet secretaries.”
I couldn’t get further than this:
“And then they’ll also, I think, go after people in the private sector,” Jordan continued. “They’re going to go up for any business who, as an example, you got businesses who helped paper the inauguration, which happened every four years … [Democrats] are going to somehow say, ‘Oh, these businesses have done something wrong.'”
Reverse Victim and Offender.
Is there a three-strikes rule, and he’s automatically out?
Oh I know how to prevent that. STOP DOING CRIMES!
Too late
I get so tired. They know he’s a fucking criminal and he and his family have committed crimes.
But they don’t care.
Not they the dems will bring articles of impeachment, but that he’ll actually be impeached.
Interesting.
Yes. That’s the idea asshole.
Consequences for crimes.
Fuck around, find out.
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
I thought you dumbasses professed to be the “law and order” party? Guess that was just another big fucking lie like all your other claims…
The biggest bullshit is that legally speaking, he will get away with everything he did. the supreme court declared that everything the president does is legal. that was some major bullshit.
Impeachment means nothing. Removal is where it’s at.
Impeachment itself means nothing. But they can open investigations into all sorts of stuff under the guise of impeachment preparation. They can bring everything to light and leak it all to the press. Done correctly, the whole first family can be dragged through the gutters forever.

Don’t tease like that.
Removal of his head from his shoulders, and same for the rest of his administration. Fucking INSANE the word “treason” isn’t used more.
No shit, Gym
I sure hope it doesn’t end with just impeaching donnie, either.
All of his accomplices should be hounded with lawsuits and prison time for the rest of their miserable lives.
The Guiliani effect should be the bare minimum.
What is that?
Slowly having your life, reputation and financial stability destroyed due to your support for Trump and his wacky schemes.
Ah, perfect. Yes. Well, I hope it is not all that slow.
Yeah, but only because he’s a convicted felon
Does impeachment achieve anything, or have any consequences at all? Not really sure what the point is, seems to have no effect

Impeachment in the House is the first step to having a standing President removed from office. The second step (after the required first) is for the Senate to hold a trial. If 2/3rds of the Senators vote to convict, the President is removed.
What has occurred to trump so far is Step #1 two times without Step #2 being executed.
I would have hoped that people would have looked any of this up by now. It’s trivial to do so.
But to save you even that much efffort: Impeachments happens in the House. It is a vote, and that means it largely happens along party lines. If sufficient votes are cast in the House to impeach, it goes to the Senate to vote for removal, which requires a two-thirds majority. It is extremely unlikely to happen, and so far when he was impeached, he was not removed by the Senate.
Does it do anything? Yes and no. It is a political process, not a criminal/judicial one, so some people can argue that it’s just politics, but also nobody has been impeached twice before. It’s also a matter of norms, so it is quite possible that Republicans will now impeach any Democrat president from here until our political system fails. So while impeachment definitely meant something in the past (although arguably even with Clinton’s impeachment, the impeachment itself was a political witch hunt), it is certainly meaning less and less as time goes by. It SHOULD mean something, but then again we shouldn’t be dealing with fascism, but here we are.
Worst take of the day
Fingers crossed! Let’s hope this time it sticks and there will be widespread convictions across the republican party and the Trump crime family.
As if democrats are gonna do anything. They are worthless
