Of course they will ... that's exactly the point.

It’s hard to overstate how grotesque is the prosecution of Letitia James. I hope John Roberts—who unleashed this malignant, vengeful career criminal on our beloved country—is enjoying Trump’s utter abuse of power and trashing of justice and the rule of law.

Simple, all of the Democrats can sign a proposal to impeach. That's how Congress works. Not all the things they sign onto become legislation. Contrary to some opinion, the rules don't require 100% chance of success.

It's really not that hard to do, what's hard is to convince them all to do it.

Not a mistake. The point is intimidation. The point is the public seeing the casual cruelty, the indiscriminate use of force on ANYONE, including American citizens they declare are "enemies" and "criminals".

The point is the display of unstoppable power, not law or order.

The GOnceP are a lost cause, they aren't even a political party at this point. They've given up being legislators and have decided they can't beat Trump either.

They're now 100% into making bank while they have an opportunity, even they understand that a democracy can't survive a fascist leader.

Look man I understand parental fears of severe disability and social impairment but if the science actually showed that taking Tylenol increased the odds your kid will grow up to be Ben Affleck in The Accountant then the eugenicists in our government would start a Super Soldier program about it.

The electorate just needs to make sure that none of Trump's minions take over the power to grant pardons. Pardons are what they are relying on!

It's their EXPECTED free pass to escalating bad behaviour, then on to criminal acts ... and eventually atrocities. That's the path those sort always take.

Trump might have immunity, but ICE does not.

He won’t be able to protect federal agents from criminal and civil prosecution once he’s gone.

Their day of reckoning will come. Broken down here…

The point is not to win the unwinnable, that's only a remote possibility as long as Trump controls the magaRINO, the point is the effort.

If they ALL signed on to the proposal, at least Trump's actions could be seen for unconstitutional acts they are.

The solidarity of the effort is the point.

Nope .. but there are enough to all sign on to a proposal for one.

I don't believe it. I suspect he was pretty far gone before all that stuff. That stuff just inspired him to claim it made him smarter than everyone else.

Hello, Nobel committee!

If you decide to set the bar for the Peace Prize low enough so that the Oval Office occupant can hold the fate of the Middle East hostage to whether or not he gets his next shiny object, welcome to all the other organizations who did the same...and wrecked their brand.

So ... when are you guys going to impeach? How many crimes does he have to commit before you all commit to stopping him?

How much more damage to America are you all willing to abide before you do SOMETHING?

Just bone chilling. And when the imprisonment of critics is combined with his offer to enrich and immunize his loyalists, this is how democracies die fast.

But it's still our choice. Don't let him silence you.

This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system.

I am not fearful — I am fearless.

We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights..

RFK Jr. has a new theory on autism. He thinks circumcision could be a factor.

It confirms what many of us have suspected for a long time.

They genuinely believe their brains are in their dicks.

I knew Fox News was theater. I just didn't realize it was a repertory theater that recycles actors for different roles.

You'd think a company that had to pay $787,000,000 for deceiving its viewers would be a little more careful about blatantly continuing the practice.
