What are the odds that a Republican dominated Congress will impeach *rump?

[Uncle Joe]

Will he cross a Bridge Too Far even for them?

Will some event (s) triggered by him wake them up?

I already know what many of you are thinking, if an insurrection won't do it, nothing will, but is there a proverbial "tipping point" in this?

1. As Dean Wormer would say, ZERO POINT ZERO.

[Intractable]

2. To quote Lord Kelvin - absolute zero.

Saying "will impeach Trump" implying successful impeachment, is not the same as saying "some Republicans will want to, but they will never have the numbers."

[Buzz cook]

3. If Trump

looses the MAGA and the backlash threatens their chance or reelection and if Trump turns against tax cuts. There is a chance.

4. I as looking for the "not a snowball's chance in hell"

5. Less than zero.

Hence the blind partisan right.

[DesertRain]

6. There should be an "Uncle Joe is adorable" option

7. nixon lost them with wage and price contols

and going off the gold standard

i'm convinced he would have gotten away with watergate

maybe trump will pull a scam with "bitcoin reserve" that they can not stomach?

[Uncle Joe]

8. That's not my specialty, is bitcoin considered a currency? n/t

[rampartd]

9. not my specialty either, which is why i want no part of it.

i consider it a scam, a ponzi scheme which has run out of buyers unless the treasury bails them out.

10. It's non-zero, but not 1 either.

It would take a pretty incredible series of events where Trump lost republican support to the point that safe R congressmen were going to lose their seats in the backlash. I think in a 2 year period, that's not going to happen.

The threat of losing Congress by a normal margin isn't enough to move them either, it would have to be something where they were looking at extinction as a political party.

11. -3000

12. Capitol agenda: Congress reacts to Trump's tariffs, Musk's power grab

There are signs of trouble ahead as the president steers the country into a trade war, grants Elon Musk unprecedented access and forces senators to take difficult votes on his nominees.

Donald Trump is testing congressional power and Republican fealty on three major fronts this week as he steers the country into a backyard trade war, grants Elon Musk unprecedented access to critical government operations and forces senators to take their most difficult votes yet on his nominees.

Tariffs: Agricultural states will bear the brunt of Trump’s weekend tariff barrage aimed at Canada, Mexico and China. The American Farm Bureau, which is influential among Republican lawmakers, is warning that farmers will bear the brunt of retaliatory trade measures. Maine Sen. Susan Collins is speaking out about the impact on her state, and Sen. Mitch McConnell said in a “60 Minutes” interview that tariffs will hit consumers. Some Republicans, including House Ways and Means Chair Jason Smith, are backing Trump’s trade moves.

(snip)

Musk: Democrats are raising alarms that the Trump administration is again attempting to seize Congress’ power of the purse by giving officials affiliated with Musk access to the Treasury Department’s payment system. Most Republicans have been publicly silent about the move and its potential to circumvent Congress. Top Senate Democrats will put the issue front and center at a news conference Monday afternoon.

As Musk rattles Washington — his latest target is USAID — he’s using his social media platform X to target Republicans. Musk over the weekend said GOP Sen. Todd Young was a “deep state puppet” in a post before deleting it and then calling Young a “great ally.” What happened in between? A phone call where the two discussed Musk’s so-called Department of Government Efficiency.
