He certainly uses them as a lightning rod anytime he needs to pressure the Democrats

Isn't their strategy to increase negative partisanship so that they can get their base out for the next election? At least... That's what my lefty friends have said...

so what real chance is there of them forcing him out or does this continue for a whole year while they fail to find a message for voters to buy into?

@actual physical kelp that sounds like a retcon to explain why they're all being morons

@system11 there's virtually zero chance Trump will be removed

No one thinks he will be, world markets haven't budged at all and his approval rating is actually in an upswing

if he was would it prevent him winning 2020?

That's basically the only thing that would prevent him from winning

And if the economy tanks. That's always a possibility

so its constitutionally not possible to stand after impeachment?

That's an interesting question

No president has ever been removed, so I don't have an answer

The way the Constitution is written, there aren't any specific prohibitions against it, I don't think

But practically, he wouldn't gain the support of the party, so he couldn't be a major party nominee

i guess thats the dems only hope of winning then

Quite frankly, I find the idea of Trump being removed from office and then re-elected hilarious.

I hope that happens. And that he wears bullet proof spray tan. The man is a hero frankly. And they cant abide by a hero

It wouldn't be that weird considering what modern politics has become

Dumbasses

Watch her start taking flak from her own supporters for dragging this out to the last minute

Such a cowardly strategy

anyone know the situation around Shokin? I keep hearing "Biden fired Shokin because he *wasn't* investigating Burisma"?

Perhaps Joe Biden should testify to the Senate if that's the case <:thunk:462282216467333140>

hopefully

Is it right? Was he impeached?

She wont send the Articles until it's a "fair" trail,or in other words until it benefits the Democrats the most

If it so, what's going to happen now?

And why there's no uproar against it?

@Dostayer Since the House did impeach Trump,the articles are suppose to be sent to the Senate to begin a trial

But Pelosi is apparently withholding the articles from the Senate

What are the expectation of the trial ?

Since the Republicans hold it 53-47,they will find Trump not gulity and not remove him from office.

I call bullshit on this thing BTW.

@Dostayer I feel the same way

I hope they will pay for this in the elections

Just like the labour. Did in the UK

If the polls are correct,then Trump should win reelection and the Reupibicans shouldbtake back the house

Good

Plus only 2 Trump district Democrats voted against impeachment,so they will have a lot of explaining to do

The other 29 that did vote for it
