I know the idea of enough seats in both chambers to impeach, convict and remove is a fantasy.

It's an option. An option that will probably never happen, but an option.

So even if Dems get enough House seats to impeach a 3rd time, that's as far as it will go, and Trump will just find a way to monetize it.

All I know is that if the 90,000,000 stay asleep, and Trump actually does not attempt an "I'M NOT LEAVING" stunt, we probably ARE looking at President Don Jr or President Ivanka.

After campaigns by Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris, I'm sure that Republicans...ESPECIALLY the MAGAts...would LOVE to rob Democrats of that "first female president" thing. And as bonus to MAGAts, Ivanka's white.

I guess what I'm saying here is that if the 90,000,000 stay napping, the price we're going to pay is going to be dramatically worse than the one we just paid last November.

If we impeach Trump, we get Vance.In many ways, I think Vance might be worse (if that's even possible). Raven May 22 #1

I don't think that's even possible. If nothing else it would send a message.. yourout May 22 #2

Vance doesn't have the following, and the Media doesn't like him. haele May 22 #8

Like those who said Pence would be worse then Trump Kaleva May 22 #19
