To deflect from his own impending impeachment, Trump suggests Speaker Pelosi be ‘immediately impeached.’

….This makes Nervous Nancy every bit as guilty as Liddle’ Adam Schiff for High Crimes and Misdemeanors, and even Treason. I guess that means that they, along with all of those that evilly “Colluded” with them, must all be immediately Impeached!

Members of Congress cannot be impeached, but the Constitution says each House of Congress “may determine the Rules of its proceedings, punish its members for disorderly behavior, and, with the concurrence of two-thirds, expel a member.” Members may also be censured.

Nate Silver on Trump’s re-election and impending impeachment:

As with a lot of Trump's strategy, his impeachment defense may help Trump with his base. But that's not the same as helping him overall. Watch swing voters, among whom the signs aren't great for Trump so far. https://t.co/lJEWUcK1uv
