A House Democrat has filed articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump, calling him the “most impeachable president” in U.S. history and accusing him of high crimes and misdemeanors ranging from his war on Iran to his schemes to enrich himself and his allies while in office. House Judiciary Committee member Rep. Steve Cohen, of Tennessee, introduced 26 impeachment articles on…

    And let’s not forget Bonespurs is a convicted felon, found guilty on 30 or 40 counts of fraud in New York state. Strangely, although felons serving jail time can’t vote, he can because of the type of sentence he received.

      Honestly, I think things like this help with the midterms. Republicans are going to get hammered because of how massively unpopular the Iran War is (as well as Trump himself). Actions like this force Republican to publicly defend it, and let Democrats show that they’re pushing to resolve things one way or another.

        because of how massively unpopular the Iran War is

        I haven’t even read the articles but I’m going to take a guess and say this Demonrat only has qualms about the handling of this war and says nothing about how fucking disastrous it was starting it in the first place.

            It’s actually bad enough that even that wouldn’t matter. They’ve “successfully” impeached him before and if you look around you can see all that accomplished! Like the following:

      At the very least, it’s a great way to f with him, as he’s a convicted criminal who needs to be sentenced.

      So, yet another thing for him to panic about

        He isn’t panicked. He isn’t worried. He isn’t even generally concerned for his wellbeing. He will be living in luxury until the day he dies in his golden bed.

        He will get away with everything and set a new precedent that will live on in the USA for a century.

          He clearly was last time. He acted weirder than normal

          He knows the walls are closing in on many fronts.

            Very strongly disagree. He’s never going to be punished. History shows the villains rarely get what’s coming to them.

              He’s already been convicted, and he doesn’t have support this time

              Something will happen.

              Also, at least jean Carrol is getting her money… He’s out of avenues there
