The Senate would just acquit him again and it would just take time and resources away from dealing with the virus and all of the related issues. The Senate may not even return to session after their planned break ends, especially if half of them are in quarantine by then.

The most realistic way to get rid of him is to vote him out in November, as it always was.

power while Rome burns. The last attempt was about political power, this is entirely different. The fact is its the moral and ethical thing to do, its not just the politics.

Another impeachment would accomplish nothing and would look like nothing other than a politically motivated distraction in the middle of a pandemic. It's a horrible idea.

Where is the relief coming from when there are no masks, not even masks never mind ventilators?

The virus would have come here anyhow but a few weeks of preparation and competent leadership would have made a huge difference. I can't imagine what these nurses and doctors are going through - they are real heroes.

Especially with the latest Gallup Poll showing a 60% approval rate for his handling of the crisis, i don't think he is going anywhere.

1) Your heading "I don't believe it's too late to impeach the President" makes no sense from a grammatical point of view because it's not too late, it's already done, he is in fact already impeached.

If you think. It's not too late to impeach him again then the only way the sentence makes sense is to add the word "again".

2) Why would you suppose that, given the current make up of the Senate that there would be any greater chance for conviction?

doing right now, undermining help to NY because he hates Cuomo. Undermining our national security because of his constant lying an delay. There are no masks and ventilators to meet the demand, why is the con man not utilizing the DOD? You don't find that a crime?
I do. Telling the public, his base, to go fill churches on Easter goes against everything a rational person would instruct the public to do.
He must be removed, every effort must be made to do so. If the Republicans refuse again, that is their problem to live with not ours.
