He was voted in to be the president to all of Americans, and instead he is urging half the citizens to "go after" the other half. How can this not be impeachable? He's inciting a new civil war. I don't understand.

And this is a racist country. That's how.
That's how he won the first time. It's why he wasnt convicted for his impeachment. It's why he gets a pass in the press.
It's why most cops vote for him.
This is not surprising. He's scapegoating typically marginalized targets of bigotry.
That's why. It's what the people in control want.

(4,672 posts)Youre watching everything that has happened since these fascists took control of the government and youre puzzled by them not impeaching him?
I dont mean to be rude but come on. Theyre fascists. Real deal fascists. Do we really not understand this yet? Theyre never going to impeach him. Theyre never going to leave. We have to force them out. And with the apparent indifference most people have to all this, thats not happening for a long time.
Forget about the system saving us. Those days are long gone.

(25 posts)The Congress is controlled by the same MAGA element that refused to hold him to account in prior instances
That has not changed - He will not be impeached by this congress
Also, as an added bonus: The Trump cabinet is also filled with Putinist MAGA sycophants who wouldn't mention ANYTHING bad about Herr Diktator in any place or any case
The cabinet is NOT going to remove POTUS through the 25th Amendment process
So, as rational as your expectations might have been in previous administrations: That's all gone now
They will continue to stonewall remedies regarding the President's irrational, unconstitutional behaviors
There will be no impeachment OR 25th Amendment removal from office
One caveat: They MAY initiate 25th Amendment proceedings IF the techbros believe they can safety wrest the top office from Trump in a moment of weakness .... Yet, that may start an internal MAGA war
Musk, Thiel and Vance are waiting in the wings for their moment: Let's hope they never get it

OK, this--and I apologize profusely for the unbearable imagery--this is what I hear when people clamor up to say "TRUMP MUST BE IMPEACHED!!!" Yeah, that would be great, but as we've seen, it's a nothingburger if he's not tried, found guilty, and sentenced--or whatever the Congressional equivalent is at that level.
The last time these heathens put country first before party was Watergate, half a century ago.

(114,023 posts)and Marshmallow Mike Johnson is the one who has to make that happen. Unfortunately, he turns into marshmallow fluff whenever he thinks about going against his Lard and Savior in any way, at all.
The man has abused his power from day one and a sane government would have ousted him already. However, thee sill be nary a whisper of impeachment while this gang of spineless sycophants and outright cultists retains control of the House.

I've stopped taking his opinions seriously. Third time is NOT the charm!

(12,977 posts)There is absolutely NOTHING Trump could ever do that would convince them to vote to impeach.
Look at his current mental state. Is anyone invoking the 25th Amendment?
They are completely under his thumb.

(205 posts)Without at least some GOP votes impeachment won't happen. MAGA -- including its wholly owned subsidiary the Republican Party -- loves the cruelty and authoritarianism. Thus impeachment's not going to happen.

(8,451 posts)To convict, you need 67 votes in the senate, not just a majority. There has not been any time in history where we help the senate with 67 senators. Republicans will never vote for conviction.
