Almost 0% chance he gets removed from office and very unlikely he even gets impeached. Americans have shown they don’t want that to happen and republican senators clearly will not play ball.
As for prison, I would also say close to 0% chance. Mayyyybe in 2029, there might be cases brought against him, but democrats are so spineless, even now, that I don’t think they have stones to actually go through with it.

Yes, agreed that Iran is significantly worse as far as self-inflicted wounds. It took Americans feeling the pain in their pocketbooks to actually turn against Trump.

Who knew that starting a stupid pointless war in Iraq and enacting stupid pointless tariffs, both massively raising prices for Americans, would be so unpopular?

I wouldn’t worry about it too much. Texas will continue to be extremely business friendly and no gun control is on the horizon.

1.5% is a bloodbath now?

That's a point very much in contention.
It is not in contention. Multiple autopsies confirmed George Floyd's death was caused by homicide. A court found the police officer who sat on his neck guilty of second degree murder. You clearly do not like the man, but that doesn't change the facts.

Comparisons are rightly being drawn to the killing of George Floyd
I don't think we can say these comparisons are right. In the George Floyd killing, it was the police who were responsible. In this killing, it was a civilian. Now did the police get the situation utterly wrong? Absolutely. But this is quite different from the police actually killing Nowak.

Do you understand how cause and effect works?
ICE agents swarm American cities. --> American citizens begin peaceful protesting. --> ICE agents shoot and kill American citizens.
I recommend leaving your news bubble and not taking the most egregious social media videos of protests as representative of the millions of people in the streets.

Fine, even if you wanted to consider these numbers "tricks" (which I do not concede), use George W Bush as an example. Was ICE killing American citizens during his years? How people can justify this sort of violence for immigration enforcement is imbecilic.

The left won't cooperate with the right? They passed an immigration reform act the summer before the 2024 election and Donald Trump torpedoed it. This was a commonsense reform that Trump knew would harm him politically, so he cynically (politically effectively) killed the bill. The right would rather use immigration as their bogeyman than do anything real to prevent it.

The argument against it is pretty easy and clear. You can remove thousands of illegal immigrants without this chaotic clusterfuck the Trump admin has unleashed on Minneapolis. It's a cliche at this point, but Obama deported illegal immigrants at twice the pace of Donald Trump. And he did so while managing not to kill any American citizens.
Mistype, but gosh if that ain’t the definition of insanity…
