    Trump would be impeached if he tried. You think Raytheon and Boeing can’t buy enough congressmen to impeach him?

      He’s been fucking impeached twice already.

      How do you people have such short fucking memories?

      Nothing sticks to this dirtbag. That’s how he got that stupid nickname.

      Are we still pretending that impeachment in the US is any kind of meaningful threat to a president?

        If you understand it as a trial where a president who has done something wrong is held accountable according to the law, then no that’s idealist nonsense.

        If you understand it as a mechanism that allows 50+ senators to replace the president with the VP if they want to, yes.

      Um, you know those companies can sell weapons and craft to other countries right? Trump will still be happy for Europeans to buy weapons.
