The official "let's impeach Trump" thread

Good for Cousin Mitt! Did Utah proud.

Very brave of Mitt Romney to do what he did.

Acquitted on Article 1.

Mitt will be 77 when his term is up so he's not beholden to voters. He would face a primary anyway with a long line of MAGA wanting to challenge him.

I don't think he'll run for re-election so he will make an interesting McCain 2.0 as a Mavericky kind of guy.

I am a member of the Utah Republican Party. In the 2018 election, however, I was so fed up with the R-vs-D obstructive team politics that I voted for a Senate candidate that was neither R nor D. Even though I had liked Mitt Romney previously (I supported him for President in 2012), in 2018 I was not convinced that he would be any different than all other R- and D-party elected officials who mindlessly fall in line with their leaders.
I was wrong. He proved to me today that he is a free thinker with moral courage. It used to be okay to disagree--even with one's political party--and still be respected as a free-thinking person acting in good faith. But in today's highly polarized environment he will likely be condemned, ostracized, and treated with contempt by fellow Republicans. He knows this. He also knows his single vote will end up being inconsequential in the overall group result. Yet he still broke ranks to vote his conscience. Although I did not vote for him to be my Senator, today I absolutely respect and admire Mitt Romney. In my view, he is part of the solution.

Isn't this a pointless exercise if everyone's just gonna be toeing the party lines?

 

[The Midnight]

It's kinda mindlessly doing what you're told in a way isn't it?

It was from the very beginning. We all knew how this would end when it all began.

Goodbye thread. God bless America!

Well, it failed you on that last post. Don't worry about that though, it happens to everyone sometimes.

But your judgement of my intellect means so much to me. Cough cough.

You guys thinking that this is over is cute.

Trump will get re elected and then do something so egregious that even Republicans will impeach and vote him out of office.

Bookmark it.

We have always had dignified former Presidents from both parties.

The post-Trump world is going to be very interesting since no one expects this from him.

Republicans will be scampering from his shadow and distancing themselves from the catastrophe.
