Republicans in Congress are traitors to the United States of America, so this won't go anywhere. Still worth getting on the books though.

This time I am sure it will stop him. /s
However, few Democrats have voiced support for impeaching Trump since he returned to office in January since measures are unlikely to go anywhere with Republicans in control of both the House and Senate. Trump was impeached twice during his first term in office, but was acquitted by the Senate in both cases.
They aren’t called “Do Nothing Democrats” for no reason.

Democrats, December 2019: "Impeached! It's now officially on record that this crap won't stand!"
Democrats, January 13, 2021: "Impeached! Insurrection? Are you fucking kidding us?! We are officially on record again that this just won't stand!"
Democrats, May 2025: "Alright, that's it. We didn't want to have to do this, but I think we might just have to go on record again… Let the record show that all this gestures wildly everywhere is straight-up terrible, and it won't stand!"

Unless this is bipartisan I don't give a fuck since it won't matter
Oh no! Hasn’t he been impeached twice already? Like, what other conclusion can society draw but “impeachment is entirely theatre”?
I mean it's pretty much all they an do unless Americans want to exercise their 2nd Amendment right as it was intended.
Congress has an obligation to impeach presidents that break the law. Its like a cop should still arrest a criminal even if the mob boss can get them off and back on the street in hours.

Someday the public will realise that impeachment isn't the actual removal of someone from office, and in fact (AFAIK) there really isn't a mechanism in place to do that other than shaming them till they quit of their own accord or imprisonment (and technically they could still perform their job from a cell)
The House can impeach and the Senate takes that impeachment and decides if to remove from office. So there is a mechanism, but it doesn't work so well when one major party is so far up the presidents ass they would never vote to remove
We do need another failsafe mechanism, perhaps a way for the people to remove a president from office
"No confidence" voting would be great too, but at this point I'm not convinced it wouldn't result in the same problem with the MAGA cult astroturfing the fuck out of every vote.
Oh well, better not do anything at all then. Clown.
Clown?! How dare you!
I’m not saying don’t do anything. I’m saying impeachment is theatre to appease people like you who apparently still believe it’s worth the time and effort of people who could otherwise be perusing actual solutions but won’t because, since it’s still not obvious, neither left nor right gives quite enough of a fuck about you to bother. Yet, anyway.

Incoming: all Republicans and at least 2/3 of Democrats vote not to impeach.
The democrats will yet again shoot themselves in the foot with this one especially if they vote not to impeach. It sends a clear signal that everything the administration is doing is Totally Cool and Legal™©®
All according to plan
Won't matter, won't change anything or cause so much as a held fart by the fat orange fuck.
Until apathetic Americans get off their asses and vote in primaries, local elections and general elections that aren't just about president.
Local elections impact who's a judge, impact who's a state house or senator -- those are who determine state laws -- including participation in the NPVIC -- as well as Board of Education members banning your books.
Primaries are where you pick who's the good candidate for the general.
Are you sick of the trash candidates, are you sick of Chucky giving stern looks at most to push back against fascist agendas? It's the primary.
It's the local elections that determine districts. It's the small local elections and state elections that either enable or fight gerrymandering.
Stop bitching about how things are and take action.
