Summary
Efforts to impeach Donald Trump for a third time are intensifying as he begins his second term.
The non-partisan group Free Speech For People launched the “Impeach Trump. Again” campaign, citing constitutional violations, including his alleged role in the January 6 Capitol riots and breaches of the emoluments clause.
The group also accuses Trump of campaign finance violations, xenophobic rhetoric, and abuse of power.
However, impeachment remains unlikely with Republicans controlling Congress. Democrats may revisit impeachment if they regain control in 2026.

What the fuck is impeachment anymore?
Growing up and learning Nixon resigned because he was impeached and made him look terrible I thought it was career ending. Like they’ll drag you out of the white house career ending.
Now it just feels like telling a toddler “NO!” but with no consequence when they keep going anyway.
“Surely, this time, impeachment will have consequences!”
Even if it passes, he will never be removed from office. There is no low that Trump can sink to where Republicans will not fall in lockstep with him. It’s pointless.
It gives Democrats something to campaign and fundraise on. Now you can FIGHT BACK by donating $25 to the Impeach Trump in 2025 Campaign.
Impeachment stops corrupt individuals, not an entire party of fascists
Lol as proved last time, impeachment means absolutely nothing. It didn’t stop the last corrupt individual, in fact he was just reelected and is as corrupt, if not more, than before.
Exactly. The corrupt individual couldn’t be stopped because theres an entire corrupted party that supports the corrupt individual.
It’s certainly doomed, but democrats already get paid to be there so why not use every tool in the book? Time Congress is arguing about impeachment is time they’re not implementing fascist policies
Yeah, unless the Senate finds him guilty, which they didn’t last time and won’t likely this time, if won’t stop him.
the american democracy would be pretty good, if it wasn’t for parties… now it’s a never ending competition between two conspiracies
And it’s not like we didn’t fuckin’ see it coming, either. Washington, with one foot out the door: “Don’t deify me, don’t form political parties.”
So, guess what else nobody listed to him about?
Lol its not the “parties”
The constitution never said anything about the two-party system.
That was an emergent property of FPTP voting system
TLDR: Fuck the FPTP system
Jesus Christ… NO.
Same as the last two times, it’s a wasted effort without the votes in the Senate. If you can’t remove him, don’t bother. Focus on winning back the House and Senate in 2026.
Time and time again, this image remains relevant
Though I’d argue the Ds can govern
They do ok. But look at what’s going on with gaza. They definitely arent batting 100. Plus all the governing they sometimes do must equally benefit the wealthy class or it won’t happen.

ACA eas what the Republicans were pushing for 20 years ago. Obamacare was straight up a copy of Mitt Romney’s healthcare plan in Massachusetts, jjst at the federal level.

They could not BE more wrong.
They could have prevented this from happening and chose to use the fear of fascism as a campaign tactic instead of putting in any protections. I’d say that’s a pretty big failure to govern.
Impeachment is the check against his power. It would be better to convict, but the democrats need to make the argument and convince the people that Trump should be held accountable. Get Republicans in the Senate and House on record supporting Trump’s crimes, and then beat them in the midterm elections.
Impeachment is how you win those elections. Rolling over and showing your belly is why Democrats keep losing before the fight begins.

I mean, in a better world, we would have competent progressives who know how to run on an anti-fascist campaign. That we’re losing the fight is not a reason to stop fighting. It’s a reason to reevaluate our tactics and fight harder.

In this moment impeachment is a waste of time. They would be better served (1) governing super well in places they are in charge (to demonstrate they are the better option - something that is inconsistent today); (2) figuring out why people are voting for Trump; (3) developing strong messaging and strategy to win races top to bottom of the ballot. I’ve been unimpressed with their ability to both run and govern recently (with some exceptions here and there). Maybe it is catching up with them.
In this moment impeachment is a waste of time.
Any time he’s focusing on that is time he’s not actively fucking shit up. Being obstructionist is what’s gotten the Republicans to the place they are now.
That’s the idea. Impeach him after 26. It’s in the article
No GOP backing, so this is meaningless theater.
Exactly. He’s been impeached twice and nothing happened. He should have been barred from office years ago. The entire process is nothing but political theatre for donors.
How many times did the magahats offer impeachment articles for Biden? The theater isn’t meant to be successful, but just a constant buzz for voters.
Nothing news from an empty source.
Good. They should get rid of him by any means necessary.
Ah yes i remember these exact news at this time during his first term
Come on. That shit is going nowhere.
Unfortunately this is just a sign of how bad the US has gotten.
There have been impeachment attempts on Clinton, W Bush, Obama, Trump and Biden. Impeachment was supposed to be used to stop a president acting illegally but its just become another political weapon in the US capitol.
The US system is so unbelievably broken. It entirely depends on bipartisan support to get things done but things are now too polarised to function and the electoral system prevents 3rd parties access at any level.
The two parties have destroyed democracy. It could be fixed but it would need to start at the state levels with 3rd parties coming in and rebuilding the electoral system. But the 2 parties have even gerrymandered the constituencies so only the two parties can win.
Even other countries with first past the post systems have other viable political parties - look at the UK, Australia and Canada. Fptp is flawed and breed an replacing but the US version is next level for locking in the status quo.
There actually was no impeachment attempt on W. Bush, Pelosi intentionally took it off the table.
Similarly there were no serious attempts on Obama or Biden either. Threats, definitely. Obama specifically was threatened with impeachment over military action in Libya without congressional approval, but then that became “WhY DiDn’t yOu dO AnYtHiNg aBoUt bEnGhAzI?”
It’s not “the two parties”. The Republicans impeachment efforts have universally been partisan witch hunts - even the successful one against Clinton. (And I am no fan of Clinton. He should have been ostracized by the Democrats a long time ago). W Bush and Trump both committed crimes worthy of removal from office. It’s not the same at all.
I don’t think they have been witch hunts, per se; republicans don’t seek impeachment for things they rightly could because, well, they like the illegal things presidents do. They like when presidents don’t enforce the law or drag usninto wars or fund foreign enemies and topple governments. Democrats too. If rightful impeachment isn’t on the table, what else can it be but a political weapon?
Impeachment is pointless when the republican traitor filth control more than 1/3 of the senate. Suggest other solutions to dealing with trump.
Imagine trying to win over the electorate instead. That’d be crazy.
“The non-partisan group”
HAHAHAHA!!! Fuck off!!
Who gives a shit if they’re partisan. The fashies call everything left of trump partisan
“It’s ok to lie about things! Truth can be bent as long as it serves the mindset that I have! All you got to do is label everything fascist! Then lying or presenting falsehoods is righteous!!!”
All they had to do was NOT present this organization as “non-partisan” and the article would have held credibility.
But who the fuck needs credibility?! My opinion is righteous and just!!
Liz Cheney and Kamala Harris holding hands forever
Impeachment has been of no consequence for more than half a century. Yet another demonstration that the US constitution is fucking idiotic.
It has a purpose but obviously it’s been misused in the last how ever many years. Now they kind of use it as a litmus test to see how much the media cares at any particular time.
Impeachment is irrelevant anymore
It’s a process. It is like filing charges against someone, and then the Senate holds the trial. The Senate found him not guilty. So there were no consequences.
