    My original comment was not a call to impeach him, it was questioning why this term—after this entire shit show—have no impeachment efforts been made, when previous presidents have been impeached for far less.

    I’ll have a conversation about that, but not about “why bother?” Because that’s a different conversation and one I’m not interested in.

      Because republicans control the house. And the media is currently coddling trump. Unless some rogue republicans get onboard, there’s really no point in attempting to impeach him again. Until Dems can gain a majority.

        Yes, but that never stopped previous presidents from being impeachment attempts.

          Yeah, but like I just said. There’s no point in even doing it without a majority. All 3 past impeached presidents had a majority in Congress favoring the opposition party.

          Every minority party impeachment attempt has failed, quickly. Just like MTG on Biden’s 1st week as president, it went nowhere and was performative. Dems simply DONT HAVE THE VOTES TO IMPEACH TRUMP!

            You don’t have to have the votes to try. The point is the statement.

            I think the topic might be flying above most people’s heads.
