This past weekend, the deranged juvenile delinquent currently soiling the Oval Office, Capitol Hill, America’s Constitution and the country itself proved beyond any doubt that he could very soon escalate to NUCLEAR threats– if Iran continues to fight back against his unapproved personal war. Trump must GO. Before impeachment, though, it might be more effective for Democrats to (1) Ask VP Vance and Trump’s Cabinet members to sign a “Formal Intention of 25th-Amendment Removal,” (2) Launch that process if enough people comply, or (3) If too many decline, proceed to impeach-- in a single class action--   “Trump, Vance, and all Cabinet members who refuse to remove Trump despite his proven, overwhelming unfitness to remain in office. To remove those who refuse to do their Constitutionally mandated jobs.”   This would be (adapting Trump's favorite exaggeration)  a shot across the corrupt Administration’s bow "unlike anything the world has ever seen.”   It would also strongly remind Capitol Hill that Justice is on the way. Regardless of how many patriotic Americans his criminal Administration jails or how many future elections they try to steal, Justice is coming.
