“Alito’s next opinion piece in the WSJ is about to be ‘I am a little king, actually. The Constitution doesn’t explicitly say I’m not,’” Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) quipped.

    Which worked so well through TWO failed Trump impeachments…

    Impeachment without removal is pointless. So step 1 HAS to be getting the majority back in the house AND getting a 2/3rds majority in the Senate.

    Once you do that, I’d argue for a new Amendment. Ethics rules + age limits.

      If you haven’t noticed, Trump isn’t President anymore.

      The impeachments galvanized voters. Duh?

        Impeachment had no impact on voters, if anything, quite the opposite, which is why we have a Republican run House of Representatives right now and the balance of power in the Senate hasn’t changed.

        We need a 2/3rds majority in the House and Senate to start making massive changes.

          How can you say impeachment had no impact when Trump literally lost? The fact that the House was lost 2 years after that was because voters saw that Democrats are worthless do-nothing losers that refuse to do anything when they win.

          We need a 2/3rds majority in the House and Senate to start making massive changes.

          If that’s true then I should just kill myself now because it will never happen for the rest of my miserable life

            Because after impeaching him the House immediately flipped? Ya think? Impeachment was well recieved in the bubble, not so much outside the bubble.

              After impeaching him Democrats took control of the House, Senate, and the Presidency.

              It was 2 years after that that the House flipped, and even then Republicans still failed to take back the Senate and under-performed all expectations.

                Trumps 2nd impeachment was January 13th, 2021.

                The next election was 2022 and the House flipped. Literally flipped, 222 Democrats in the 117th Congress to 222 Republicans in the 118th.

                  I’m sure the parade of Democrat failures that happened over the next 20 fucking months had nothing to do with it!

                  Nope, just that one thing. No other possible reasons people would be less enthusiastic for Democrats.

                    One thing can have power. 2024 will see it flip the other way because of abortion. People don’t forget this shit.
