    Why on earth would anyone think that would matter? At this point, impeachment is just a strongly-worded letter.

    Even if they managed to get it to the Senate trial phase, he’d just ignore It. His people are in charge of every branch of government and the military, there is no formal process for removing him anymore.

      I don’t think we’re that far gone yet. People in the government are complying because they’re following the system such as it is. But if there’s a point where the system says Trump is out, and Vance is in, I don’t think many people will cross the line of disobeying that ruling.

        Normally, I’d not be so blunt about this, so apologies but: you’re wrong. The majority of Americans picked fascism in 2024 knowing exactly what they’d get. Nothing anyone did to him mattered before he was given a clear mandate to burn everything down, there’s no reason to believe it will matter now.

        The Democrats need to get dirty or we are all fucked.
