Democrats Blew Off Impeachment. Republicans Learned Nothing
Eddie Scarry
If there’s a silver lining to Democrats’ casual dismissal of impeachment charges against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas this week, it would be that a future GOP-led Senate now has license to blow off all impeachments that will inevitably be sent their way. But there’s no universe in which Republicans accept that gift.
In reality, the next time Democrats seize control of the House and contrive allegations of high crime and misdemeanor — far sooner than you think — enough Republicans, reliably compliant, will declare it’s the Senate’s absolute moral and constitutional duty to consider, deliberate and ultimately host a trial that remedies the fabricated concern.
It’s depressingly rare for Republicans to return fire when Democrats escalate their unyielding war on American democracy, institutions, and norms. Democrats impeached the last Republican president— twice! And one of those times, he wasn’t even in office.

If Mr. Trump regains office, expect him to be "impeached" every couple of months in succession.
The Pubbies (assuming they win the Senate) should take a page out of Chuck the Schmuck's playbook, and DISMISS every article of impeachment presented to them by a [presumably] DCommunist House.
Just say "no".
That's not so hard, is it?
