I wish something high-profile happens to Bolton and Pompeo soon. I'm pretty sure that would be ground enough to start impeachment proceedings against Trump. Besides, Bolton and Pompeo probably deserve it.

Right, I am sure THIS time we'll get him! He will go to jail so hard the third time he is impeached, just you wait! The courts will totally take action this time!
The only thing that can get his just deserts is war with Denmark. NATO will back Denmark as will I.
You need to read up on the impeachment process to understand why this is a pointless hope. He was already impeached twice during his first term. He could be impeached twenty more times and it won't mean shit if the senate won't vote to convict. But that's not even going to happen because Republicans control the house now, which means articles of impeachment will never even be sent to the senate.
Some Democrats have said they won't even bother starting impeachment unless they get enough vocal support from Senate Republicans
There's not much point, and frankly Trump is wearing it as a badge of honor at this point. "They keep coming after me and failing!"
I disagree. Tie up congress for a month with this. The only way is down of we let this current government operate.
Again, that's not how it works. You can disagree all you want, but the procedure is clear, and it has become highly partisan. Without a 2/3 majority in the senate there is no conviction. Without at least a simple majority in the senate, any articles of impeachment simply get dismissed immediately (which is what happened when the Rs tried to impeach Biden). Without a majority in the house, you don't even get a hearing.
This session, the Republicans have the majority in both the senate and the house. There will be no impeachment of president Trump for the foreseeable future. There is no path to "tie up congress" with such proceedings. Maybe we can flip it with the 2026 mid term elections. But there's about zero chance we can get the numbers needed in the senate to convict, unless a significant number of Republicans can be convinced to abandon their party and commit political suicide.
Any opposition to the current administration will have to be from another angle.
It would require that and then a follow-up step: Those against the impeachment would need to have something happen to them too.
...or the banks can just collectively say, "fuck this guy; he's ruining the economy and our profits" and Trump will be gone in no time.
Something like 25% of all campaign contribution to both parties comes from "finance" (aka the top ten banks).
This guy stood up for his country and Biden with Garland fucked him.
Why not blame the bad actors for their behavior?
I spread the blame around depending on mood.
