Trump’s approval wasn’t affected, if anything it went up. Republicans increased their support of dear leader. It just wastes time and effort so we can say Trump was impeached.
And for what? Who cares? Are we trying to look good for the history books?
The fascists are infighting and Trump’s approval in tanking. Impeachments are more likely to reverse that than to accelerate the process.
People act like this counts as some appeasement or enabling of Trump… as if third times the charm! Two of these bombs were dropped on MAGA and did fuck all. It’s not exactly “pulling punches” to not waste a third one.
You do realize that the impeachment isn’t the goal, right? It’s just the first step. If you want to forcibly remove Trump while he’s still alive, you only have 2 options. 1) You need Vance and half of Trump’s cabinet to formally deem him incapable of executing the powers of the office and replacing him with Vance under the 25th amendment and then (when Trump pushes back) have 2/3rds of both houses of congress vote to agree he’s incapable. Or 2) Have a majority of the House vote to impeach him, and then have 2/3rds of he Senate vote to convict, which will result in his removal from office. Impeachment isn’t just a formal scolding. That’s called a censure. It’s an indictment of a crime that will then be tried in the Senate. In both cases of impeachment last time, the spineless Senate voted to acquit. But that doesnt mean that they won’t ever break ranks or that in voting to acquit they may lose votes as a result.
