Conviction of an impeachment in the Senate requires a 2/3rds majority.

Yes it does. At the very least, Impeachment proceedings in the house will SLOW him down and weaken him. Now, by the time this happens, it will be 2027, after dems retake house majority in the mid terms. God Only Knows what kind of shape the country will be in by then - senate republicans could be clamoring to impeach the sonofabitch.

I hope you're right. But I'm not confident we'll have free and fair elections at the mid terms.

I'm not confident of anything, except that we put one foot in front of the other, and keep on speaking out, helping one another, and DO NOT STAY HOME in 2026. The results in Wisconsin and the massive drop in support in those 2 florida races made me think maybe they haven't quite got the whole "election rigging" thing down ....
