It may be baked this time, but this type if proceeding must be shut down. If there we’re THREE less Republicans in the Senste, we’d be looking at a slam dunk impeachment because the opposing party simply doesn’t like the President. You don’t need a coup, you just have to be majority in both House and Senate. This is a terrible precedent and should be shut down with penalties.

That is simply not true. To convict any person who has been impeached (i.e. to remove them from office), you need a 2/3 vote of the Senate - 67 votes. That isn’t going to happen, not unless TPTB decide that now is the best time for Bosnia x 1,000 all over this country.
