I’m guessing removing the president is off the table for the next 2 years

Getting 2/3 of the Senate to convict Hegseth with a 56–44 Democratic majority was already a longshot. If you thought there was ever a chance of convicting Trump in the Senate even with that majority, I don't know what to tell you except "Welcome back to reality".

    Well, I was hoping some people would split off with the growing anti-Zionist wing of the party and abandon Trump before nobody will admit to having voted for him; Bush 2 eventually lost his base's support, but it looks like the GOP is going to back Trump until one of them dies.

  • I've been saying this and getting downvoted because apparently I understand nothing.

    Yes, blue won, yes they turned texas blue. Big deal. But at the end of the day, they don't have a supermajority and with all the pedoparty following trump, these two years will be, at max, a pause to trump madness. And that's not even granted unless every elected dem starts doing actual opposition.
