The biggest shame is that it's not like they can't impeach. The majority just doesn't want to. Allies have been betrayed, 401ks have been devastated,, we're at least 7/10 bill of rights amendments broken, and the US weren't from dodging the recession to heading down into a proper one. All in 5 months. But somehow congress thinks it's alright.

My only solace right now is that Trump probably isn't in the health to survive to 2028, maybe not even 2027 to get potentially convicted if congress shifts. He's in worse wear in 2025 when Biden in 2024.

It's Republicans that think it's alright. Not "Congress". The Republicans just happen to control what happens in Congress - the Democrats are not complicit at all.

Trump can live as long as medically possible, which could be 10 or 20 more years, nobody really knows. Then Trump Jr. is going to take his place as the figurehead, and he'll probably win the next election if there is one. If Trump doesn't make it to the end of his term, we'll have President Vance and VP Miller, or maybe VP Trump Jr. It's not looking good no matter what happens.

It's so weirdb that someone would cite 401(k) performance as a valid reason for impeachment. I don't necessarily support recent Trump administration economic policies but that type of comment shows how disconnected most HN users are from regular US citizens.
