As is well known, Donald Trump was twice impeached, during his first term as President. That just means that the House of Representatives, by a simple majority vote, charged him with certain crimes, referred to as ‘’impeachable offences’’. Then, following Constitutional law, he was placed on trial, by the Senate.
Of course, in each case, he was found not guilty, as it requires a two thirds vote, of the Senators, meaning that sixty seven Senators had to vote guilty, in order to secure a conviction. As the Senate, at that time, was controlled by the Republican Party, that conviction never happened.
Yet now, in his second term as President, the Senate is still controlled by the Republican Party. So how is it that the House of Representatives is so confident of securing a conviction, to their current proposed impeachment charges?
Because the political situation has changed, and quite dramatically. The country is in the early stages of a Revolution, the Second American Revolution. The No Kings Protest, of October 18, 2025, marked the beginning of this Revolution. After all, an estimated seven million people ‘’took to the streets’’, and no one was arrested! That just means that the local police have joined the Revolution.
This is not to say that the Members of Congress, either of the House of Representatives or of the Senate, understand this. For that matter, the finest of the bourgeois intellectuals do not understand this. Yet they are aware of the ‘’mass movement’’, aware that ‘’something has changed’’, aware that the ‘’common people’’ are not at all happy. That is most emphatically true!
There is one very instructive video, on the internet, which illustrates this, quite clearly. It is titled, ‘’Congress Demands Trump Step Down As Mark Meadows Reveals Everything’’.
For the benefit of those who are not aware, Mark Meadows was formerly Trump’s Chief of Staff. He just provided documents that allegedly prove that Trump tried to overturn the 2020 Presidential Election. It is further alleged that he was responsible for the ‘’Insurrection of January 6’’. A most serious charge.
In the video, the narrator, one of the finest of the bourgeois intellectuals, alleges that these documents provide ‘’Documentary proof of the most serious attack on American democracy, since the Civil War…Congressional leaders, from both parties, are….demanding immediate action….Democrats are calling for Trump’s immediate resignation, warning that if he does not step down voluntarily, they will pursue impeachment with the full expectation of conviction this time, given the overwhelming evidence now available. Some Republican Members are joining these calls, breaking with their Party leader….Others are threatening invocation of the Twenty Fifth Amendment, …Genuine Constitutional Crisis, …Governors of various states are joining in….’’
The reason I say that this is an instructive video, is because the narrator accurately described the current situation. Yet even though he could have said that in two minutes, he babbled for almost twenty minutes. He kept repeating himself, as well as pointing out the implications for the forthcoming midterm elections, the next presidential election, and so on and so forth. He is clearly in love with the sound of his own voice! And this from one of the finest of the bourgeois intellectuals!
Sadly, even he is not capable of facing the fact that the Second American Revolution has just begun. But then, there are very few ‘’bourgeois ideologists who are capable of raising themselves to the level of comprehending theoretically, the historical movement as a whole’’, according to the Communist Manifesto.
It is best to not expect too much from bourgeois intellectuals. Even though, as an American, he is supremely well aware of the first American Revolution of 1776, he cannot bring himself to face the fact that the Second American Revolution has just broken out. Yet, even though he and others, cannot understand this, the Revolution is making itself felt.
The Republicans are afraid that the surprising resignation of Marjorie Taylor Green, MTG, is just the beginning. The Leftist press is reporting that numerous other Republican Members of Congress are considering retirement. It is also very likely that Democratic Members may join them. After all, they may be able to sense, if not understand, that ‘’the ship is sinking’’. Now is the time to ‘’jump ship’’, while the ‘’jumping is still good’’, if you will excuse the poor metaphor.
As for a possible trial by the Senate, Trump is doing his best to antagonize the Senators. His latest brain storm is to call Senator Mark Kelly, a former astronaut, back to active duty service, so that he can be court martialled! Trump is upset that Kelly advised military personnel that it is their duty to disobey illegal orders. Their oath is to the Constitution, not to Trump! As far as Trump is concerned, that advice amounts to sedition! Trump is calling for the murder of Kelly and several others! All Members of Congress!
The expression, ‘’How to make friends and influence people’’, comes to mind! If Trump was deliberately trying to be impeached, and convicted by the Senate, he could not possibly do a finer job!
That is the reason I think that, for once, the ‘’third time is a charm’’. The third impeachment of Trump, if it happens, could result in his conviction and removal from office.
Yet I am also of the opinion that the Second American Revolution, as it unfolds, may well make that impeachment completely irrelevant.
