Could the Third Time Be the Charm on Impeachment and Removal?

OPINION
GUEST ESSAY
NYT

It was clear from the first day of President Trump’s second term that Round 2 would be very different from Round 1.
Trump’s revocation of law firms’ security clearances and access to federal facilities, his cutoff of research grants to Harvard, his multimillion-dollar cryptocurrency deals, his decision to send 700 Marines to contain protests in a five-block section of Los Angeles, his usurpation of congressional power over federal spending — all of these acts have left millions of Americans aggravated and apprehensive, even as a substantial number of U.S. citizens remain untouched and largely unmoved.
We now have a president imposing an agenda far more dangerous than anything Richard Nixon dreamed of.
Here is one measure of Trump’s reign of corruption.
In the five months Trump has held office in his second term, the number of impeachable offenses legal scholars estimate that he has already committed ranges from three to eight or more.

2. We Sure We Want Vance as President?

That could be worse.
He's sure to enact Christian Fascism.
Not that Trump isn't trying but Trump doesn't give a hoot about ideology.
Vance does.

3. Only a catastrophic event *might* spur the GOP to consider removing Trump.

Something like the collapse of the SS system, where payments are stopped to all beneficiaries, or widespread mass shootings of unarmed civilians by ICE or the military.

That might motivate the GOP to remove Trump, but probably only if they suffered heavy losses at the ballot box (and in donations).

Alas, mere constitutional “high crimes and misdemeanours” won’t get Trump removed.

5. He'll probably

Be dead before that can happen. Recent pictures indicate very poor health, including a swollen hand that appears to have makeup over it. His organs may be shutting down, so Mother Nature may soon be impeaching and removing him.

6. I doubt that enough public pressure can be put on Republicans to do this.

So it will be up to Democrats, running with a 26% job approval rating, to get enough seats in the Senate to pass the 2/3 threshold.

7. It depends on what happens in the midterms.
