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 won’t get impeached. It’s been well past time we start using that second amendment so many love to go on and on about, but never actually take advantage of.

      He should have been imprisoned after January 6th. He should have been imprisoned for stealing documents. He should have been imprisoned for being in the Epstein files. Yet here we are, America baby!

        He should have been in prison decades earlier for fraud. But here we are. Trump is a metastasized tumor of the cancer that is the billionaire class.

        Turns out, you don’t actually need a good guy with a gun.

        You need a guy who is good with guns.

          Yeah all of this could have been avoided if one numpty had properly set his windage.

          Maybe take a hint from the Ukrainians and fly a tethered drone in next time.

        The rest of the world needs to swoop in and save us at this point. The new nazi party and several pro-fascism democrats are making sure this shit continues unabated.

          No, American citizens sitting on their asses are allowing this to continue unabated. We’ve been telling you for about 3 decades what path you were on and were met with belligerent shitty USA USA USA chants and flag waving.
