34. Impeachment is a Republican talking point

Tue Feb 17, 2026, 05:56 PM

Feb 17

They're actually trying to discredit our House agenda by saying we're only going to do 24x7 impeachment proceedings. The less said about impeachment the better.

As noted by other posters, there's zero chance Trump would be convicted in the Senate. I think there's almost no chance he would even be impeached. And if we did it, it would be dumb.

Impeachment without conviction/removal is purely performative... WarGamer Feb 17 #22

That's possible. But, I don't think he's going to escape this. It's only going to get worse. Joinfortmill Feb 17 #27

Russia would be my vote mvd Feb 17 #23
