I would certainly love to be proven wrong about this

Men’s Warehouse Guy: Trump just handed the Democrats an airtight impeachment case…

…but they won’t prosecute him for this, I guarantee it.

    The Democrats aren’t in power in the House and literally CAN’T impeach him even if they wanted to.

    It’s down to Mike Johnson and the Republicans to run an impeachment.

    Then, even if they did, it’s off to the Senate which is ALSO controlled by Republicans, in order to convict and remove him.

    The Democrats aren’t in any way, shape, or form in control of the process at this point.

      Also. Even if hypothetically they get the house and Senate in 2027, they can impeach but not remove him because there’s no way they’ll have a Senate supermajority…

      they can’t even hold the vote. all they can do is file the articles. as you say, it’s up to mike johnson and whoever has his balls in their purse (and probably his and his son’s porn proclivities, i’m betting Putain)
