    It may sound exciting to watch a farcical Biden impeachment trial, but this is gonna be the start of a tradition in American democracy where literally every single president gets impeached but never convicted at some point in their term. And let me tell you, those impeachment trials every four years are going to rapidly get boring beyond belief unless we were to coincidentally enter the cool zone during one of them.

      What if they keep trying to one up each other every time? The first president to be impeached 3 times! The first president to be impeached before being sworn in! The first president to impeach themselves!

      We can turn it into a tv special every 4 years, license it to every other country and eat the profits!

        The first president to be impeached before being sworn in!

        More or less what happened to Abraham Lincoln.

        Honestly, given the diarrhea Congress has been spewing for the last ten years, I'm genuinely curious to see what happens if the entire system just locks up and fails entirely. Will I be materially worse off? Lets find out.

            I think I just tripped into it by way of New. I had no idea it was this old.

      The Democrats will throw Biden's impeachment so hard that it will end up illegal for a Democrat to be elected, somehow, so we'll never have to worry about that.

      It's already been like that since Clinton. People talked about impeaching Bush for lying about the Iraq war, impeach Obama for being black, and Trump.

      It's too late. Who cares

      and makes everyone even angrier by starting the Kamala presidency. Truly a bipartisan endeavor.

    I hope they do impeach him, that would actually be entertaining unlike this Jan 6 crap

      How did the Dems fuck up the messaging on an event where a trump guy had a heart attack after tazing himself in the balls? Like that is almost divine intervention, and still the dems came out looking like cowering little whimps who keep screaming for a hall monitor.

        the dems had trump on an impeachment and decided themselves to limit the scope of it and not call witnesses you do the math on this one

      It was very predictable that they could take something as outright hilarious as January 6 and eventually make me hate even hearing about it even a little.

      Honestly it would be just as lame/boring/inconsequential as when dems tried impeaching trump.

    Impeach Biden (not protecting the border)

    Impeach Kamala (doesn't matter pick any reason)

    Whoever is GOP speaker of the House becomes president
