    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.

      Democrat POLITICIANS are cowards, Democratic VOTERS are NOT. They are angry, and they want to go to WAR with MAGA, but our battlefield general is Schmuck Schumer, and he’s a smarmy, insipid little bitch, and is more interested in insider trading than being the courageous warrior leader we need. He doesn’t care at all who’s in charge, as long as he can keep making money. PedoCons are fine with him. He’s their best Democrat friend.

      AOC needs to primary him, and kick him out of the Senate in humiliating fashion, just like she did to the calcified old fart whose Congressional seat she first took.

      because a lot of democrats are cowards

      I’d like to entertain the idea that they’re not actually cowards, but are either conservative plants, or are otherwise paid/controlled by the conservative agenda.

      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.

      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.

          He was already impeached twice, they will do nothing besides symbolic tasks. so many people belong in jail, yet legally, that is now not possible because nothing trump does is illegal. and the dems will make a show of an impeachment then not remove him

            Impeachment is one half of the process. If the Dems held a supermajority in the Senate he would have been removed.

            Yes, this requires a lot of things to have been different, and everyone would have had to be following the intent of the constitution, not just the letter, but there exists a way to remove him and put him in jail.

            You can throw your hands up and say he’s immune from any consequences, but if everyone did that then it would really be true.

            I’m not saying people should blindly hope and do nothing, but quitting is exactly what they want.

            This is exactly the idea behind the meme. They’ve already impeached him, twice. And nothing happened, it was all for show.

        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.

      I see folks complaining about “Tankies” on this site a dozen times a day and twice that on Sundays.

      Antifa, Radical Islam, Russian Bots, Chinese Wumao, ISIS, Tren de Aragua, Weather Underground… take your pick. They’re all corrupting the minds of our youth with quotes of people and videos of events perpetrated by people running our federal governments.

      Anyone that tricks a Westerner into refusing to support our national or state governments is an extremist radical contributing to the decay and destruction of our hallowed institutions. We have to find them, silence them, punish them, and remove them at all costs. Otherwise the Evil Foreigners will win.

      Do you want to wake up speaking North Korean? Then get with the program and join ICE, so we can stop these ultra-radical freedom-hating anarcho-communists.

      “Radical left” is the Dems who actually want to do something. Don’t worry though there aren’t enough of them to get the job done.

      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.
