Well one Republican hasn’t been fully neutered by Trump. How about the rest of you?

    Even if he’s impeached I’m not confident he’d have to step down. Good just in case though.

      Impeachment is the first step. It’s a vote by the House. Then you have a trial in the Senate. There is no way he’d ever step down, so he’d have to be removed that way. It’s a simple majority in the House and two thirds in the Senate.

      That’s not the point. The point is that Rep. Thomas Massie is personally in a position to do something about it himself, and needs to shut the fuck up and put his money where his mouth is. As a member of the House of Representatives, there is absolutely nothing stopping him from unilaterally filing articles of impeachment. He doesn’t need consensus, he doesn’t need the support of party leadership, he doesn’t need anybody’s permission. He can just do it. Right now.

      So will he actually do it, or is he just yet another Trump-ass-licking fascist shitstain with zero credibility?
