Donald Trump warned Republican members of Congress on Tuesday that if they don't win in this year's midterms, then he will "get impeached."

"You got to win the midterms because if we don't win the midterms, it's just going to be -- I mean, they'll find a reason to impeach me. I'll get impeached," the president said.

Trump was impeached two times during his first term. In 2019, he was impeached on charges of abuse of power and obstruction of Congress for allegedly pressuring Ukraine's president to interfere in the 2020 election. The second impeachment came during his final days in office after the attack on the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, with lawmakers charging him with incitement of insurrection. Trump was acquitted in the Senate both times.

He's setting the expectation that if the Democrats do gain power after the midterms, then even if they rightfully impeach him his base will view it as politically motivated.

He's done this type of thing before. Doesn't surprise me.

    And why not? It worked out great for him with denying the 2020 election results. The 2024 election was suspicious as fuck, but no one dared question the results or demand a recount, lest they be accused of doing the same thing he and his followers did 4 years prior.

    Yeah, because he should be impeached, removed and thrown in prison.

    And he fucking knows it.

    We need to combine it all for a perfect punishment, imprison with a 24/7 live stream, sell subscriptions to view, and give proceeds to the victims and families, use them to prosecute the rest of the crew and to pay to change the laws against the oligarchy.

    You don't need to tell the prisoners that he raped kids. They know.

    I think there is a big public perception issue of who exactly is a "Chimo" in prison. Most men in prison do not consider teens to be children and people who sexually abuse teens to be pedophiles. In spite of structural issues that lead to people being in prison, most people in prison are still bad people and have views outside the acceptable norm outside of prison. So someone in for raping a 15 year old isn't going to have the same social stigma in prison that someone who raped a 9 year old would.

    he fucked with the post office. there's only one punishment fitting. drawing, quartering, feeding to pigs, burning the pigs, dancing on the ashes, distributing the ashes for display in every post office as a warning to those who might dare fuck with the post office again.

    I mean, why does anyone think impeachment means anything? He's already been impeached twice in his first term. Didn't change his behavior in the slightest, because the Senate refused to convict and the next President refused to prosecute him for his crimes while in office.

    "Oh no! The House will do another Kabuki Theater in between rubber stamping all my demands for an increased police state. How horrible!"

    What a fucking joke.

    Like it means anything when he's been impeached twice now. As a reminder, it's a trial to see if there is enough evidence for the real trial. The system is broken and relies on pinky promises to not be a cunt.

    Truth, but unless there are 60 votes in the Senate, nothing will happen and unless there are 67 votes in the Senate, it will be the same as the last 2 times.

    Donald Trump warned Republican members of Congress on Tuesday that if they don’t win in this year’s midterms, then he will “get impeached.”

    He's not wrong.

    Honestly that's all a Democratic House should do from the time they take over until Nov 2028.

    Just submit articles of impeachment & hold hearings on them.

    As much as Trump's shit has become "normal" due to the flood the zone strategy, this isn't actually normal on global order time scales. We can show the world that the party of loyal opposition is ready to govern, and why.

    I don't believe the democrats have enough of a spine to do that. I would expect them to instead say, "Oh, well he can't be president again, so no point in that when it can cost us our real constituents, the corporations that bribe us to do nothing."
