    As soon as that motherfucker ignores a federal court order, impeachment proceedings need to begin

    Hahahah, good one. This Congress won’t even be able to pass a budget, there’s no way they would be able to pass articles of impeachment, even if they wanted to. And if somehow, those articles get passed, you would need to get 20 Republican Senators to agree with Democrats to convict, and we could only get one to vote against Bobby Brainworm, that son-of-a-bridge.

    But if somehow enough Senators come to their senses, we get President JD Vance, who is going to be even worse in all these respects.

      I agree with you up till that bit. Vance is puppeted by Theil, we’ll get a less musky and perhaps saner form of fascism.

      not saying I look forward to either but if you’re tired of the absolute stupid shit that trump says every day like I am, a change would be nice…

      Well, go down the list of succession. How far down do we need to go to have someone capable of thinking and breathing at the same time? We all knew Vance was an insurance policy, he would need to be included, or atleast have his impeachment drafted when the ink on Darth Cheeto’s dries.

        Impeachment was a check against a corrupt individual, not an entire party working together to destroy democracy.

        The “list of succession” isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. After the VP, we get the Speaker of the House (Mike “Keebler Elf” Johnson), then the President Pro Tempore of the Senate (a ceremonial post that typically goes to the oldest Senator of the majority party, currently Chuck Grassley), then a bunch of Cabinet posts.

        But it’s important to note that those other positions only kick in if all the other posts are vacant when the Presidency becomes vacant, and those other posts are rarely vacant. And when the VP vacates the office to become President, both houses of Congress must affirm the new VP via majority vote

        But this Congress? Even if somehow they toss Trump and make Vance President, I bet they will not think twice before selecting Sean Hannity or Matt Gaetz to be the new VP under Vance.

          I completely agree with you, but I still stand behind what I said in my first post, even knowing the first option is never going to happen.
