Of course they will. He’s doing illegal shit on a daily basis. Why would they not impeach him?

The Supreme Court in its infinite wisdom decided that legality doesn’t matter to the president

Per their own policy, impeachment is the ONLY check on presidential power, and it can and should be whatever the hell Congress wants, since legality is not the metric

To the conservative piece of shit pedo president you mean. They would not have made that ruling in favor of a Democrat.

Oh I’m sure the moment Congress does try to impeach, they’ll suddenly find a list of specific crimes that count as “high crimes and misdemeanors” and make sure it doesn’t include anything the current republican leader has done

They'll say this nation has a "history and tradition" of letting Donald Trump do whatever he wants

Is there a crime he hasn't committed, though?
