How much do you wanna bet that when DT gets impeached

he will claim that it was his plan all along to do whatever it took to unite America even if it meant being the one both sides were forced to unite against.

Besides, it would be just another lie that no one believes. If he gets impeached, he will really arrange his businesses and properties in a trust run by his kids to keep them from getting fined and/or confiscated. The day after he gets the boot, he will flee to a country that has no extradition treaty with the US. Probably Russia. Which would be plenty OK with me just to see his back going out the door.

But not this time. We cannot let them get away with this. The question is what angle?

unless the GOP decides he's not useful for them anymore.

He grabs all the news so they are free to pass bills to dismantle the government without anyone noticing.
This is not likely to change so he'll stay in power.

If you remember in 2006 when Democrats took Congress Nancy Pelosi said "impeachment was off the table". Also even if the Democrats took the Senate they couldn't get the 2/3s vote that is required for an impeachment conviction.

if anyone deserved to be impeached it was "W" for crimes against humanity and the Dem congress did nothing.

First, the chances of a serious impeachment effort being launched are pretty low at the moment.

Second, he'll resign rather than be impeached if it ever appears that impeachment and conviction would be imminent.

Third, if he is impeached, the country will not be united. There will be 30 percent or so dead-enders that will believe he was framed.
