One thing that worries me about the impeachment hearings

The more trump and company feel trapped, the more desperate they will become. And a wild animal that is backed into a corner with no apparent way out can be dangerous. Cheetolini has access to the nuclear weapon launch codes. That crazy bastard might do something insane if he feels that there's no way out. Start an all out holocaust, declare martial law, round up immigrants, something. We need to be on our guards at all times.

I suspect that an unprovoked order to launch nuclear weapons would be refused. Then, there would be a reason for an instant impeachment, it seems to me.

As for declaring martial law, that would probably fall into the same category. He's already rounding up immigrants, and that hasn't pulled any triggers.

Trump might overstep, but so far, he's managed to stay just within impeachable boundaries. That may soon change, however.

He knows the Senate will not vote to convict. He's probably planning his victory parade right now.
