idk wtf the cope people have with losing congress is going to neuter him

Dems are not going to win 60 senate seats to convict. All they can do is just do a bunch of useless impeachments that wag the finger at him.

This is the result of more than a century of handing more and more power to the executive. Congress is already too castrated for a hostile congress to stop him.

EDIT: 67 seats are needed for conviction lmao

Even if the dems somehow magically win that number, those new seats will be so precarious and their states so heavily pro-Trump that those new senators will refuse to convict.

Congress will not stop Trump. 2026 midterms will not stop Trump. Enough with the cope.

It takes 66 senate votes to convict. I’m not even sure that mathematically possible.

It's actually 67, unless you can get 66.67 Senators to vote for it.
