JENNINGS: Let's say Democrats take the House. How sure are you that they would immediately move to impeach President Trump? MIKE JOHNSON: It's guaranteed. Probably on the first day.

A reminder that Hakeem Jeffries met with trumps consigliere - in secret. Face to face. We were never supposed to know about that meeting. And that’s why Hakeem Jeffries can NOT be speaker. Period.

I trust him to accept a huge bribe for the promise of “not looking backwards” - which means we let the trumps and the Kushners and the Lutnicks and the entire Epstein Class off the hook. People like Jeffries are the reason Epstein’s victims are still having to fight for justice.

They won’t have votes to convict and remove. It will only strengthen him and reinforce him with supporters. Only impeach of they can assure conviction.

A majority of the House of Representatives is required to impeach, which typically means at least 218 votes if all 435 members are present and voting. Then 2/3 present, typically 67 Senators to convict

Mikey knows how massively crooked trump is and that republican corruption is the only thing preventing justice from being served. If the system doesn’t stay rigged, their criminal cabal will lose everything. It’s an admission of guilt.

Nope. GO after EVERYONE ELSE FIRST. Impeach / indict the VP, every cabinet member, administration staff, and the entire family. Remove them and watch him….

I guarantee you they will not do this. He will not be removed. It would almost guarantee a Vance win in 2028 and then he could run again in 2032.

I for one hope not. The Democrats should begin hearings on his cabinet and if necessary impeach those individuals if need be. The rest of his political appointments will probably cooperate with Congress or resign to flee to someplace, like Cuba, Ecuador or even Russia. Thousands of cuts.

Tsk, tsk. Wasting time on anything but impeachment is ineffective. Kill (metaphorically speaking) the snake at its head and the rest should (!) die too. Reds & Blues need to work together. Tell your reps to vote their conscience not their party. To find them: www.usa.gov > elected-officials

“‘Guaranteed’ is doing a lot of work there. Impeachment is a constitutional process, not a campaign slogan. What’s the evidence for that certainty?

When the GOP lose the elections they will use the courts. When the GOP lose the cases they will use violence. They have nothing to lose at that point, fore they know what awaits them. Prepare yourselves accordingly.

I hope so. The only thing on which a D congress should focus is holding every criminal (and there are a lot of them!) in this administration accountable for their crimes. Nothing will be fixed until these people are in prison.

FUCK YEA.......and hopefully they take Senate and get enough Republicans to realize trump is beyond toxic and remove the mother fucker. Yes we get JD but he will be next if he fucks around. Done with this bullshit

Impeachment is a waste of time and resources… He’ll never be convicted in the Senate Start building the case for when he leaves office

Because republicans now serve a tangerine figurehead and no longer the Constitution, perhaps a Democratic Congress could pass, by simple majority, a bill to end POTUS's 'immunity' statis, and criminally indict the bastard for treason, corruption, and multiple crimes against humanity.

A bill passed by simple majority has to be signed into law by the president. That'd wind up burning political capital for a quixotic gesture, and many would take it as meaning that Dems didn't even try (because kids these days didn't watch Schoolhouse Rock when they were young - "I'm Just a Bill").

Like they did in 2020? Cuz that worked great. Impeach the guy now, have the investigations, assemble the proof, and make every forsaken turd in the GOP say on the record that they are willing to aid and abet those crimes. Tie all of their electoral futures to it for 2028 and beyond.

Well, they already have 2 cases completely built; all they gotta do is prosecute. Florida docs and Jan 6th. Or will the statute be out on both of those?

Focus on getting the guys they can get…Hegseth and Bessent. Trump is untouchable until he leaves office. SCOTUS set it up. Work on shit that matters. Work on breaking down DHS and ICE. Then nail the entire trump crime syndicate in 29.

Unfortunately the investigation started too late, and because he ran for president and won it all got stopped. With a little help from the Supreme Court as well as that corrupt judge down in Florida who squash the documents investigation. What needs to happen, new laws need to be put in place.

Arrest for treason (lots of evidence!) is justification. Impeachment must be supported by that evidence. Impeachment is the only way (including for reason of diminished capacity) to get rid of him. Boy! I'd love to see him ousted for diminished capacity!!! Write or call usa.gov >elected-officials

Good point. Dems are too milquetoast to do anything. Republicans are willing to use their power to punish the people they hate. I guess we need a Republican pissed off enough against Trump to go after any of these maga freaks.

And why would they do that Johnson…I mean they don’t have impeachable offenses do they? The evidence against Trump is a “slam dunk”. We just won’t have enough Senators with a spine to get it through.

Without a Dem Senate, hopefully NOT less a Dem House wants to give the MAGA-GOP cult red meat for 2028. Instead leave empty the oval office & have his loyalist admin show in front of Investigative Committees. All those who have been feeding him & pushing his BS.🤣

No, Hegseth will be impeached on day 1. If Dems were smart they would remove each of these inept grifting cabinet members, like RFK Jr, one by one. Leave Trump for last.

A lot of what the Dems will have to do will be to show backbone and real effort ahead of 2028. If they get the Senate, every law they pass should be focused on corruption and bringing down costs. Make the Republican party toxic through 2 years of blocking those efforts.

This is where the system is broken for sure. We cannot count on impeachment to work where one party is pro-fascist / pro-oligarchy. But perhaps a pro-democracy Congress could pass legislation to eliminate once and for all the unstated rule that claims 'a sitting president cannot be indicted'!?

Once the wipeout happens in the elections and evidence is presented publicly about his corruption and illegality i think 67 will not be a problem. The problem will be who is puppet mastering jd and will be the de facto president?

I believe there may be convictions in the Senate for Hegseth and Kennedy if the Republicans get hammered as badly as it looks like they might right now.

There is simply no way the Democrats will do anything but vote for nonbinding resolutions condemning some language used against Israel by ICE protestors

Backwards. Trump would have to be impeached first. Otherwise he will pardon them like he has so many other criminals. Start with Trump. Tell your congress (House and Senate) to impeach immediately. www,usa.gov > elected-officials

Hah! Power and money, and getting away with it, is addictive. And Blue isn't doing their job altogether. It's going to take a coalition and some Reds are commiserating; they want Trump out also. Tell your House and Senate representatives, often!, what YOU want: www.usa.gov >elected-officials

honestly impeachment is worthless, it will never result in a conviction & removal, the repubs could even handcuff the trial and in an odd way this may unite the gop resulting in a tougher 2028, there are more important priorities than allowing trump to play victim

If we rack up a third impeachment that means we win 50 democracy points and the republic is saved.

Yea, plus Impeachment is just a political act. It would be better if they could force the damn Epstein files to be released. Not to mention getting Hegseth, RFK Jr, Markwayne in front of committee hearings and get them under oath. Kash Patel as well, wonder why he killed that Sen Collins probe.

you can do investigations without having hearings-look how much info the 1/6 committee had before ever having a public hearing & honestly these people are such egotists they would show up to ‘put down’ all the dems while all that evidence was getting into the congressional record

Fuck "just a political act" Do you not want him out?? So what if Trump is in files filmed fucking a minor or admitting to it? You think he would just be arrested and jailed but allowed to still be pres? It doesn't work that way. "Political act". Impeachment is what it would take! Not committees!

And seeing how Schumer and Jefferies refused to endorse democratically elected Angie Nixon and other “too progressive” candidates, we definitely won’t have the necessary majority. Do we even deserve it at this point? I’m fed up 

It opens up more powers for investigation and the trial is sure to get a lot of eyeballs. If Dems have a simple Senate majority then they can ensure it’s not a half-assed trial like it was in 2021. And the politics are different. Trump is more unpopular than he’s ever been. Make pubs go on record

2/ and besides, even with majorities, Dems won’t be able to pass much if anything of consequence. Their job will be to stop Trump to minimize his destruction and exposing/ messaging all the abuses Trump has already committed

Of course I want him out, but you're right impeachment won't work. Instead legislate and try to improve Americans lives. Give them a reason to vote for you again instead of just against Trump.

Does anyone remember when little Johnson said that they had a secret plan for winning the presidential election?! 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔 well get ready America because they WILL try to rig the midterms!!!

Let’s not go through this song and dance again. I get wanting to hold him accountable but the senate is not going to vote to impeach. Dems should focus on anti corruption legislation and investigate the Trump family government contracts

I hope so, but I doubt it. To be clear, they might not have the votes in the Senate to impeach, but he has committed impeachable offenses, and what's the Constitution worth if you ignore them? It should be carried out calmly with a sense of duty.

Impeachment is just a political act, removal takes 67 Senate votes. They have the power of the purse, use it. Defund his little projects. Pull back money from ICE and DHS. Go after Vought for thinking he controls where money goes.

Why not do both? Impeach him, put his crimes on blast, and defund him at the same time. Instead of being obstacles he can whine about, make it clear that they're impeding his crime spree, and put Republicans on the record saying he should be allowed to keep criming forever.

Yes! Write or call your House and Senate representatives and tell them to vote their conscience, not their party. Do their job. To find them: www.usa.gov > elected-officials Write and/or call daily. Get everyone you know to. Everybody, spread the word!

They say this like the American people would be upset about it… outside of their circle jerk, people are DEMANDING accountability…

Not on the first day, but soon after taking control. At the end of the day it won't matter because there won't be sufficient votes in the Senate to remove. Where it does matter is with judicial nominations (assumes a dem Senate), investigations and serving as some sort of a check on the Fuhrer.

OK, but, is their big argument that the impeachment will take up valuable time that Congress needs to spend on something else? They ought to already be well rested enough after Johnson's regime.

While on all their breaks and throughout their time while drumof has been running his corrupt company, the dems should already be up & moving with their plans to hold people accountable and remove them, plus file whatever is required to start process going. We need a heavy lift to win both houses

Direct impeachment is pointless. Task force on corruption and task force on Epstein. trump can be linked to both and it will root out the enablers as well. Both are broadly popular.

Democrats are not running on a retribution platform, none of them are making those promises. Their promises are on helping the people and make the house of Congress accountable to their constituents. The rest of the cleaning is called desert, a dish best saved for "at last" 😏

I am not at all against impeachment, but if it's like the others, it seems more performative than anything else. If the Dems win the House and Senate, I would love to see an anti corruption initiative, one that would cripple one of the main reasons he is president, making money....

It's not going to happen on the first day. There will be too many new MOCs and too many impeachable offenses. They will have to decide how many to include. Also, they might want to impeace Hegseth and Patel first.

Tell the voters there’s an issue with the government by saying a vote for the others will get our President out of power…hmmmm

TBH the Democrats should not start with Trump. While symbolic, without Senate this would be empty thing (unless the House can do it quickly withotu much talking). Battlefield isolation first. Go after the flying monkeys, from Hegseth or Patel to ICE agents and whoever actually pressed triggers...

...on the fishing boats. Disrupt lives of people who have far fewer resources than Trump, you ought to get some evidence and while it may feel like punching down, you have short time to ingrain into everyone that "just following orders" does not work. Shape the field for 2028.

Make sure that whoever would think about "Working towards the führer" knows they will be thrown under the bus and even if given a pardon, all it means is they would be dodging a perjury trap after perjury trap and paying through their noses for lawyers.

Oh-- or maybe they would work to replace the Medicaid, kids lunches, Medicare, ACA fails that Republicans committed in this past 1-2 years? Or... maybe they would address massive national debt GOP have upped SO HIGH there's a good chance the government won't be able to pay the interest on it soon?

Well, if it’s what the American people want…. Our elected representatives are after all elected, to serve and protect. We need protection right now.
