Yes. I'm tired f Trump pissing on everything marking his territory.

No. You have to have charge, conduct investigations, etc. If it happens, it'll take a while. I'm not saying impeachment won't happen, but it is unlikely to result in a Senate conviction, and impeachments can backfire politically.

You underestimate Trumpkin paranoia. In American politics, it's not unusual to see crossover voting to promote a weaker opponent for the general election. pic.twitter.com/1mKoOYg0OR
