“And then the Democrats come and they want to make a deal. So we’ll work it out.”

He weaseled his words right at the end of the second sentence, just enough to not be prosecuted for (much less held to..) what he said in the first.

And to think the barest majority of Americans voted for this..

.

The system gives The supreme court and congress gave POTUS far too much power.

POTUS was co-equal with checks and balances but the Heritage Foundation's betrayal of democracy has been focused on concentrating power in the executive so they can make Gilead.

That's why this has to be blue tsunami or the next two years will be down the drain as far as passing anything.

They still need to make the effort just so that people will see Trump vetoing the "don't rape children act" every month.

But I fear they'll just use the lack of veto override as an excuse to stay on vacation for another two years.

Not how it went down in 2006 & 2008. Bush just kept right on sinking and sinking. It could happen that way again. We don’t know.

If I were to guess, I doubt Trump will be more popular in 2028 than he is now. Voters tend to blame the president’s party for shit, not the party that holds congress. I think there’s a solid chance of a Democratic trifecta in 2029, and possibly a supermajority in the senate.

Seeing as they've already helped the Republicans vote down impeachment this year and not just a onsie, twosie thing either. I mean I think it's a foregone conclusion that the centrist assholes in leadership aren't going to do fuck all.

I'm fully expecting these jackasses to be like all of the other centrist apologists on social media and fall back on the excuse of "Well Republicans in the Senate won't vote for it so it's better to not try to hold Trump accountable at all." weak sauce bullshit. We all know that when the going gets tough, the centrists don't do shit.

You need 2/3rds of the senate to convict so if the best case scenario happens (something like a 54 dem - 46 gop split) Trump still won't get convicted becuase dems still need a dozen gop members to vote with them. So yeah Trump won't get convicted. It's not really dems fault; the rules are dumb as fuck.

When has impeachment ever had consequences? It's bullshit.

They should slam him first do really give it to him

That's the problem with Republicans. Even when they disagree, they always vote in unison. It's why we have the ratchet effect. Republicans always vote together regardless of their own personal views and Democrats vote with their feelings. When Republicans are in power, they move right quickly without dissent. When Democrats are in power, they cannot agree on how to vote and it causes gridlock.

Unfortunately it would still take Republican support. The house can vote to impeach, the senate votes to convict and remove. Even if the Democrats win every seanate race they will not have enough votes to remove Trump. Not even enough to overturn a veto.

uh THEN you need 2/3 of the senate. Basically not going to happen ever.

Well, this wouldn't be impeachable, it's not that far off from business as usual.

Back during Obama's presidency, the GOP in fact relied upon that reality. They passed a repeal of ACA multiple times to pander to their campaign promises of getting rid of it. Then as soon as they held the presidency, suddenly they couldn't pass that repeal.

Delusion, cons politician would never, everything about their behavior suggests they would continue backing him.

That’s cause they’re controlled opposition

Impeachment requires 2/3 of Senate, making it vetoe'd unless we can swing some Rs.

The few moments when any party gets multiple seats of power, they sprint as far and fast as they can before the gears get clogged again.

Republicans, certainly.

But I was around for the Obama first term. He was terminally West Wing brained. Fully convinced he was going to get 70+ Senators on every vote, because Lindsey Graham and John McCain and Susan Collins were his close friends.

Fucking chump.

You gotta just play the hand you’re dealt. If democrats win a majority, but not a supermajority, their job is to at least stop things from getting worse for a while.

I predict that Congress will find it doesn't have a majority to pass any useful legislation domestically.

But what they will have is an overwhelming Pro-Israel majority. Also, just enough votes to ban transgender athletes from women's sports at a national level
