Not even the Dems are dumb enough to impeach Trump again. Well, one
was, but the Dems themselves (if I understand this correctly) slapped
him down.

I mean, what's the point? They can't convict him now any more than
they could when they controlled both Houses. Not that they have
actually /learned/ anything: a lot of their actions are still based on
how politics was done in 2024 or before, while I think we have passed
through the Looking-Glass and are in a different situation altogether.

Cleaning this mess up is going to be a long hard grind for someone.
