    Honestly, I think things like this help with the midterms. Republicans are going to get hammered because of how massively unpopular the Iran War is (as well as Trump himself). Actions like this force Republican to publicly defend it, and let Democrats show that they're pushing to resolve things one way or another.

    Let them pretend to be doing anything, you mean. They aren't doing anything.

    It's actually bad enough that even that wouldn't matter. They've "successfully" impeached him before and if you look around you can see all that accomplished! Like the following:

    If I recall the issue there was gop controlled senate which dictates punishment for impeachment. So unless midterms turns senate blue then yeah nothing other than history saying agent orange was most impeached president ever.

    because of how massively unpopular the Iran War is

    I haven’t even read the articles but I’m going to take a guess and say this Demonrat only has qualms about the handling of this war and says nothing about how fucking disastrous it was starting it in the first place.

    At the very least, it's a great way to f with him, as he's a convicted criminal who needs to be sentenced.

    So, yet another thing for him to panic about

    He isn’t panicked. He isn’t worried. He isn’t even generally concerned for his wellbeing. He will be living in luxury until the day he dies in his golden bed.

    He will get away with everything and set a new precedent that will live on in the USA for a century.

    He clearly was last time. He acted weirder than normal

    He knows the walls are closing in on many fronts.

    Very strongly disagree. He’s never going to be punished. History shows the villains rarely get what’s coming to them.

    He's already been convicted, and he doesn't have support this time

    Something will happen.

    Also, at least jean Carrol is getting her money.. He's out of avenues there

    Villains get punished all the time.

    If you're in Australia, you just don't realize it because we have Murdoch media and Facebook scaremongering people

    The worst customer we ever had as an example, I discovered went to prison (he was the world's biggest cock head).

    The biggest threat to my life was a guy who ended up murdered actually and it's now awaiting trial for the person who murdered him (in media he was portrayed as a normal person though, but he was a horrible person)

    Pauline Hanson over 30 years has never been elected.. and she likely won't be. She's wasted her life

    Etc.

    I’m not in Australia. I lived in the USA for a long time and I know 1000000% Trump is never going to get punished… if you need to feel like he will be to get through the day… I understand. But… don’t hold your breath.
