    They couldn’t even pass a measure to pause hostilities against Iran, there’s no way they will have the 2/3 senate vote needed to remove him from office. I doubt it even has the 50% house vote to advance the impeachment process to that stage.

    The majority of American politicians in office approve of Trump and what he’s doing. Maybe after some seats shuffle in the midterms, which is already overly optimistic, there might be margins just slim enough to convince a handful of senators to cross the aisle and vote Trump out of office. But even then, I wouldn’t hold out much hope of that happening. MAGA voters remain committed to the cult, and Republican incumbents want to keep those votes to stay in office.

      On the bright side, this will force them all (at least in the House) to go on the record with a vote for or against impeachment (or abstention, which is basically a coward’s version of against).

      Just in time for midterms.
