No U. S. President has ever been impeached twice. Donald Trump could be an exception.

His Presidency has been exceptional in many ways — almost none of them good. They don’t bear enumerating. There’s always transderm Scop if I want to be dizzy, thank you. Or watch this wheel as it spins:

The reason for contemplating a 2nd impeachment, the outcome of which is likely predictable, is Trump’s refusal to concede a recent Presidential election that his opponent, Joe Biden, fairly won.

Not only did Biden win the popular vote by more than 4M, he ostensibly won the Electoral College 290:214. The final tally is not in, but few, including some erstwhile Trump supporters, expect the outcome to be different.

What is now happening is a refusal to cooperate in the transition process.

Here’s just one report of this:

It is going to be difficult enough for Biden to achieve some of his stated goals without lack of cooperation of his predecessor.
