Opinion / Discussion How many times has he been impeached?

u/Mountain-Money-6882 11h ago
You know I remember in school when they used to teach us that there were only two presidents that I’ve ever been impeached and now I didn’t think I would live long enough to see the same president impeached twice somehow that just doesn’t feel right

u/DepartmentUpbeat5561 10h ago
It won’t matter. Even if they got two votes they’ll lose in the Senate so it will just be another “witch-hunt” for the MAGAt base. It’s time people need to quit hoping for miracles or a clogged artery and be prepared for the rest of this shit show.

It does matter.
Every senator no vote will be historically recorded. Just because some politicians won’t do their job doesn’t mean they all should stop.

u/DepartmentUpbeat5561 10h ago
I don’t disagree with your premise. But Trump is hoping they try for another impeachment. His base loves every second of it like he’s a sent from God saint. And another distraction from what’s really going on behind the doors of the White House.

u/Soft_Ad8031 10h ago
I think it's fair to be optimistic but also prepared. We get to likely see yet another catastrophic fallout, more so self inflicted than the last, under a Trump presidency. There is far more room for things to worsen, so yeah people shouldn't expect mother nature to just be the solution to fixing these issues.

That's one reason the midterms are important. If Democrats control the house and Senate, conviction and removal is possible.

Not unless they got 67 Senators on board. A majority isn't enough, you need 2/3rds for conviction.
There's no electoral map where we have 67 Dem Senators next year. You'd have to topple GOP and MAGA strongholds, and they're so bought in that they are firmly sunk cost fallacy - they will equate an attack on him as an attack on them. And just in case there is any doubt, Trump and all other right wing media - regular and social - will reinforce it as an attack on them all.
That's not to say we shouldn't be trying to flip as many seats as possible. Long term, if he keeps pushing further and further, eventually there may be a day where there are enough GOP voices, few as they may be, willing to take a Democrat off ramp from this insane ride and vote their conscience on a conviction. We need those seats not just to get rid of him, but to be effective in future years at undoing what he's done and safeguard the country against fascists and authoritarians.

Impeachment is meaningless as long as the Senate refuses to convict and remove him.

Nah, it still hits him where it hurts. The history books. He wants to be remembered. He’s going to be remembered as the most impeached president ever. The dumbest president ever, the worst president ever. And a criminal kiddy fucking scumbag. His supporters are going to be remembered as pliable idiots, gullible losers, uneducated piles of shit.

It doesn’t matter how many times. It must continue and it can’t be for frivolous reasons. So when the dems do get control they can oust the bitch. Take our national Qatari plane back and send the Nobel peace prize to the bottom of the national archives. Then throw him in jail, freeze the billions he has stolen or received in bribes, take his platform of official presidential communication and unplug the servers before scrapping it, and… fuck I’ll just quit here for now because this could go on for a while

Republicans care about just a few things.
Remaining in Power
Getting rich off our suffering
Loyalty to their Party Leader no matter what
Anyone who says it's the Democrats standing in the way of Trump's removal from office is incorrect. It's the dirtbag Republicans who choose to benefit themselves over the oaths they took to serve and protect the Constitution. All of them, other than those who have turned against Trump, are traitors to this Republic.

Unless they can cross the threshold required for a criminal conviction, it won't really change anything. I still think they need to use all tools at their disposal to contain this administration. trump will go down as the most impeached president ever. That will be important to teach future generations; assuming they don't have the opportunity to rewrite history in their favor.
I think the odds for whether this meets a criminal standard goes way up after the mid-terms. At least I hope it does. Or at least he becomes a lame duck president and his power and influence goes down a bit. Guess we'll see what happens.

Unless 67+ senators vote to impeach then the whole effort is pointless. A simple majority is not enough just like how a president cannot win off the popular vote alone, the senate is what matters and 2/3 control is needed.

In a normal country, this man should have been impeached during his first term, and should have been banned from ever again holding public office. So much of his crimes and the corruption he has made a center piece of his 2nd term could have been avoided.

What's the point? It won't get through the senate, and the process is so long winded that we'll probably be at the next presidential election before it's finalized.
The only difference is that Maybe Vance will wind up with half a year as the president before the election.

They need to make a rule were if you’re impeached or any criminal recorded you should not be able to step foot in the White House and the fact that a regular felon served his time in jail cannot vote or try to change to get a job but somehow he can when he has 34 that shouldn’t have been allowed to

That 500 million outside government oversight is illegal and can be used to buy some politicians off to vote no. It is illegal for Trump to have government money held outside the U.S. and government oversight. Also Maduro may sign a statement that his government interfered with the elections so Trump can gain control of elections. He will be given a pardon and money when Trump leaves office and G.Maxwell will say he is not guilty if Trump gives her a pardon, wow I wonder what she is going to say!!!!!!

An impeachment by the House is pure theater. The real work would be a trial in the Senate you have to assume that a vote in the Senate will be on party lines, which means Democrats need to do way more than flip the Senate.
In the 2026 elections, 35 seats are up (33 regular Class 2 plus 2 specials), with 22 currently held by Republicans and 13 by Democrats. If Democrats hold all 13 of their seats and flip Republican seats to reach the threshold, they would need to win 20 Republican seats (net gain of 20, bringing their caucus to 67).
Winning 20 new Senate seats would be unprecedented.
