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.

    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.

      And he doesn’t get convicted and he’ll campaign on how nasty the Dems are. An impeachment without conviction is a “win”.

            Are you new? You win by convincing people that you’re right and they should vote for you. You can’t do that if you never make the argument because it’s too hard to win.
