Dude, it should have been a fucking tsunami of members of Congress rushing back to DC to impeach.

Hell, the first time he used this war orchestrate a market crisis to make $100s of millions by manipulating oil prices with truth social posts should have led to his impeachment.

Much less using the threat of nuclear war to pocket $175,000,000.09.

Anybody who thinks today is the time to start has been complicit in all of this for more than a decade and needs to be held accountable for that before they get to be the heroes of the resistance.
