I'm not saying 'Trump will get impeached' but I don't know why people seem to think it's inconceivable either. He just has to do something that majorly fucks over Republican voters, which strikes me as incredibly likely.

There's probably a few Lockmart workers who are pissed they voted for him. Republican voters will be hosed over a few at a time, and the rest will stand around being glad they are not the ones currently having a pineapple shoved up their rear end. Unable to hang together they are all going to hang separately.

oh right, obama had a mandate and the ability to pass sweeping reforms and used every bit of political capital he fought for to put forward a completely compromised healthcare bill that's about to be gutted if not repealed. and those were 8 years of good governance compared to the previous 8 (and presumably, shaq excluded, the next 8).

I'll be honest with you I think Obama expended too much capital on the ACA and it cost him the ability to do anything substantive for the remainder of his presidency. I really hate the people who whine about how he didn't push health care reform far enough. Obama doing as much as he did cost him so much, asking why he didn't do more is just stupid.

blue dogs barely count as democrats

Because until progressives actually start fighting for the policies they claim to support, comparing them unfavorably to someone who just didn't stand in the way is the least they deserve.

Plus, why were blue dogs given any support if it was almost guaranteed that they'd fight against the party line?

The half life on their population trend is like 20 years. In 80 years our biggest threat is terrorists scrounging nuclear weapons from the remains of what once was the populated country of Russia. Their population is expected to go from a peak of 110 million to 30 million by 2070.

It needs to be reigned in like it was 100 or so years ago. Capitalism itself isn't what is breaking everything just kidding, full socialism now it is unrestrained capitalism that is breaking things. Right now people and companies are incentivized to push everything to the brink. Because if they don't, someone else will. As long as somebody is willing to pollute the poo poo out of the environment and use slave labor (or just a step above slavery) and nations are willing to let people who do that sell their goods and services anywhere things are just going to get worse and worse.
