    The Democrats have had an entire decade to offer some kind of meaningful opposition and didn’t bother. Why would they start now?

      That’s incorrect. There’s a lot of obstruction from Republicans to allow Democrats to do anything since most decisions required 2/3rds vote to pass. Democrats could not convict Trump of impeachment with 57% of the vote since they needed more Republicans to push it over 2/3rds.

      Of course they won’t, but damn they should.

      Because of Congress’ current political makeup (Republicans control the House) — that almost certainly won’t happen by Jan. 20, when Trump will be sworn in as the 47th president.

      We actually don’t know who controls the house, yet. Republicans need 7 more representatives, Democrats need 17, votes are still being counted.

    Lol, as if there aren’t a million other things the fucker could be processed for. We got a…

    1. Convicted rapist (oh sorry… “responsible for” rape, not a conviction, MY BAD!?!), someone who can’t stop making sexual remarks when his daughter is next to him and was close to Epstein back in 2002, saying he was a terrific guy and even knew about his interest in women “on the young side”.

    2. Someone that has committed more acts of treason than we could know, including: giving Putin classified documents, like lists of SS agents that are now dead. The SS has tracked down a murdered people for FAR less, the fact that he isn’t on a hit list is beyond damming for the US as a “world power”.

    3. I feel like I barely even have to mention is all of his fraudulent “businesses”. I mean that’s the only thing he actually got convicted of, because it’s so blatant and easy to do.

    The fact this guy not only isn’t behind bars, but isn’t on a international wanted DEAD list, tells ya everything you need to know.

    As much as I would love to see that, it would 100%, without a doubt, cause blood in the streets. Jan 6th would look like a beach vacation compared to what they would do if congress blocked it.

    What a pointless article. Congress won’t, shouldn’t, and likely can’t, despite what the article says.
