Good luck with that. He is in for the next four years and will finish his term.

Impeachment and removing him from office means the dems will need to control congress. Which can’t happen until 2027. Then, those dems will need convince at least a double digit count of GOP senators to vote to remove him and not care about facing the wrath of the MAGA base…just to get him out a couple of years before term limits do?

I kinda imagine the next 4 years will work hard towards the singular goal of eliminating those. Or he might just ignore them with a whole lot more preparation than the badly organized insurrection of last time.

He wanted the national guard there. What you’re saying isn’t any better than someone parroting some Newsmax theory about depopulation. There’s no real substance behind your claim, just mischaracterizations and innuendo repeated ad nauseam so people view it as fact.

He did. But I think Republicans in general (and Trump in particular) are being incredibly disingenuous about the National Guard thing and trying to blame {not even calling it a riot anymore} Jan 6 on Pelosi.

Why wouldn't Pelosi want the National Guard there?

Putting a bunch of moderately trained military in a chaotic situation with angry civilians is a recipe for disaster.

And if they'd opened fire on the crowd? Do you really think Trump and the Republicans would have backed that use for force?

After how they treated the United States Capitol Police officer who shot Ashli Babbitt for climbing through a broken window into the Speaker's lobby, after ignoring multiple orders to stop?

It takes much longer than 4 years to amend or unamend (which would be required in this case).

He’s out in January 2029 without a doubt.

The executive branch is currently ignoring the law. Why would they start following it in 2029?

The democrats will have to convince enough voters that what they really want is to turn the entire country into California. I'm not sure that will be a winning strategy. Judging by the most recent DNC shenanigans, I don't think they learned very much from the last election.
