Let’s assume that happens. What would that do, exactly? Can you think of any precedent where something like that has happened before? What was the net effect?
If you understand it as a trial where a president who has done something wrong is held accountable according to the law, then no that’s idealist nonsense.
If you understand it as a mechanism that allows 50+ senators to replace the president with the VP if they want to, yes.
Trump would be impeached if he tried. You think Raytheon and Boeing can’t buy enough congressmen to impeach him?
He’s been fucking impeached twice already.
How do you people have such short fucking memories?
Nothing sticks to this dirtbag. That’s how he got that stupid nickname.
Ah, the irony of how poisonous Teflon actually turned out to be.

In the US? The closest you’d get is JFK, if you think Allen Dulles was behind the assassination, and not just the coverup.
Outside the US? Constitutional coups after a country goes against US interests happen so frequently that it’s not even noteworthy.
Replace Trump with JD Vance, who I’m sure will be more amenable to the interests of the capitalist class.
Really? The closest thing in the US -- at all -- is from the 60s? Why do you suppose that is?

Who would impeach him? Raytheon and Boeing will get money via DoD as usual
A lot less though. Keep in mind, Ukraine help is also a big plus in all the financial books, even though it looks like they just “get the money”…
Are we still pretending that impeachment in the US is any kind of meaningful threat to a president?

Um, you know those companies can sell weapons and craft to other countries right? Trump will still be happy for Europeans to buy weapons.
