With or without the Senate Republicans,

Is their anything Trump could do that would trigger immediate impeachment hearings? An unprovoked attack on Iran? Withdrawal from NATO, temporarily suspending civil rights, canceling the 2020 election? Is anyone preparing a response for such scenarios?

I am starting to worry that we are living through what the German Wiemar Republic failed to do to stop the Nazis.

Trump and his officials shit all over the constitution and we issue more letters and extend deadlines...

Trump and the GOP have declared themselves above the law, above rhyme, reason and sanity. Anything we attempt to do will only make them stronger. The only thing we can do is vote them out, at every single level of power. Doesn't matter if it's a national office or a local one. Vote them all out.

Just look at Georgia and Florida last year - the only way conservatives got into office was by cheating, lying, and stealing. There's no way Ron DeSantis and Brian Kemp should be in office right now. It infuriates me that we have no plan to counter their cheating and stealing. I hope at some point the tide will turn and we'll start electing more dems into office and then we can go after these crooks.
