Trump tweets something stupid on Impeachment Eve

Isn’t it the general consensus at this point that there’s no way the Senate will actually impeach him? And that this acquittal will subsequently embolden him to strive for new levels of crapulence?

Yes, I wish it was otherwise, and certainly in November 2016 there were likewise plenty of people who didn’t expect him to get elected in the first place, but there’s really no alternative here, is there? It’s a wonder that even Trump believes differently.

Consensus is that the Senate won’t remove, no, but stranger things have happened.

Maybe he’ll be the first president to be impeached twice.

The House is the chamber that gets to decide if he’s impeached. The Senate is the chamber that gets to decide whether he’s removed from office.

Conventional wisdom holds that there’s very little chance the Republican-controlled Senate will remove Trump from office—especially since McConnell has repeatedly stated he has no intention of impartially weighing the evidence as his Constitutional duty and sworn oath demand—but that’s on them. The House still has their duty to hold Trump accountable for his actions to the extent their authority allows. At any rate it’s not like we’d be better off if the House didn’t choose to impeach.

She definitely did not die while having sex with a horse, even though that’s how I always heard it.

That one’s not true either.

Are we sure he wrote this? He stays on topic and uses complicated words.

You’re right - he probably cribbed it from some nutjob letter to the editor.

For the record, I’m not the creator. Hat tip to whoever he / she / they are!

We could use a whole calendar of guillotines. Valentine’s Day, St. Patricks, etc.

Hold up!!!

No guillotines on St Pats day. Only drinking is allowed…we save beheadings for the 18th.

He’ll definitely be the first to be impeached more times than he was elected.

I read it in James Spader’s voice; the scene definitely worked.

No, actually. Andrew Johnson was impeached once and elected never.
