Sounds like an impeachable offense. You guys game for that?

Maybe not tariffs. But DOGE under the executive branch is violating the constitution by subverting Congress' Article 1 power of appropriations. ICE under the executive branch is violating the 5th amendment by withholding due process. There are hundreds of "high crimes and misdemeanors" that Trump has either committed himself or has allowed his subordinates to commit, even just since January 20th.

The only thing they need is enough Representatives and Senators to have the resolve to impeach and remove. Full stop.

Whatever gets them over the threshold to do it. If they want to impeach him for putting ketchup on his well done steak, I’m totally cool with it.
