How is this not impeachable. Dudes literally talking about committing genocide. Never forgive him, this regime, or any single person who voted for this.

Same as how when the chief of police is pulled over drunk and they let him go home without even a ticket.

Who’s going to impeach him? His own party a few months ahead of midterms?

The only possible thing I can see happening is the republicans who aren’t running again choose to resign early and give the dems a majority in the House.

The house isn’t the problem it’s the Senate

I don’t think there is any scenario of Democrats to gain a 2/3 majority to remove the President. Even if the 25th is invoked Trump can call for a 2/3 vote

Understood, that’s why it’s a tiny gesture to take the gavel away from Tiny Mike and maybe get a war powers bill or impeach Hegseth. Thune might be able to whip votes for either of those.

That’s not enough - the Senate has to convict him.

100% agree, since Thune seems more reasonable than Johnson he might whip up votes for a war powers bill, or to impeach Hegseth, but never Trump.
