but there is no way this is going to pass. I wish it would. It should. But they aren't going to damage their party that much. Though maybe they will come to realize they need to cut him loose if they want to do well in the next elections.

Those would be election ads in the making.

the more I think the republicans in Congress have a deal with Trump. They won't impeach him as long as he signs everything and anything they put in front of him.

There is no doubt they could impeach him and remove him from office at any time they choose. Any body remember any other President you could say that about?

The thing is, the GOP controlled Senate and House haven't sent any important legislation to Trump to sign. They are so dysfunctional that it's hard to believe that there would be the backdoor deal you're suggesting. Further, given the porousness of the Republicans, any such agreement would be leaked.

That is the only thing keeping them from doing anything they want.

When I said anything and everything, I was including the so-called Executive Orders and other bullshit he makes a big show of signing. I'm not sure what the source of these things are, but I seriously doubt he's even read any of them.

Not even 6 months in, and he's unquestionably the Worst President Ever.

At least he's winning at something.

Here's your trophy, old man. Now ride away into the sunset on your XXL golf cart and may we never speak of you again.
