Democratic lawmakers led by Sen. Chris Van Hollen say they are willing to go to El Salvador to seek the release of a man who the Justice Department says it mistakenly deported there — a plan that has gained steam after the country’s president said during a visit to the White House that he would not send the man back to the U.S.
Hey, how about you do your job and impeach the motherfucker that is doing it? Maybe? Do your damn job? Perhaps?
For impeachment, the voters are going to have to do their job removing the Republican majority.
He’s from the Senate. They hold the trial. Talk to the House for Impeachment. But good luck getting Johnson to allow that to come to the table.
That’s not how any of this works
With what majority?
Impeachment with no possibility of conviction isn’t productive. His previous 2 aquittals just made him bolder.
And if we make impeachment routine, they’ll lose their meaning. We need to hold out for one that will stick, which probably means waiting until at least 2027. And that sucks. A lot.
At least it’ll be some red tape to slow things down. Red tape traditionally has kept a lot of crap from passing in the government.
I agree this is what should be done, but the reality is this will not be done. This requires a majority in Congress to bring the charges and impeach, and then 2/3rds of the Senate to convict. Democrats would gleefully jump at the chance to do both, but they haven’t had that type of majority in generations. And we all know the GOP will never impeach, let alone remove, one of their own.
The democrats are extremely limited in their institutional power right now. The only institution that stop Trump is Congress, and they’re in his pocket.
