I hope a felony like jury tampering is an impeachable offense.

Just keep those crimes coming, douche.

That doesn't mean it couldn't have another one (and personally I think all the R Senators are going to have their heads on pikes no matter how they vote. One way Trump will do it, the other way the voters. (Here's mine)

Asperger's is usually associated with high functioning people. Maybe one day they'll name a disorder after him. He is worse than anyone I've ever encountered.

were "Offended" by Gerry Nadler for saying they were complicit to a cover up? Do they actually think the electorate is that bloody stupid?

Do they think they need Kryptonite to get rid of his powers?

To us, he's a walking, talking human punchline. When will the others catch on?

1) Donald Trump was born with his Ascendant at 29 degrees of Leo in the tropical zodiac.
2) That was the exact location of the Royal Star Regulus - to the exact sign and degree, at the time of his birth.
3) Another name for the fixed star Regulus is Cor Leonis, or the Heart of the Lion.
And So:
1) Donald Trump has always thought of himself (Ascendant) as a King (Regulus = the Royal Star)
2) An astrological nickname for Donald Trump would be Don Corleone!

Cheeto just lends himself so well to these types of comparisons.

Plus fictional despots like Jabba the Hutt, of course.

He is just saying if they do what they are told, he will go easy on them.

So he is just being kind, warning them.

Of course us normal people may see this as a terrorist threat, manipulation, obstruction, and the Don Train running off the tracks some more.

On a historical note, when was the last time a POTUS threatened senators with decapitation and displaying their heads on pikes in the town square? Does the US Army still have pikes, anyway?
Google is letting me down, there.

Will the FBI investigate the source of this terrorist threat? Or will it be 'they didn't mean it, really' again?

Senators might want to think twice. If they vote to remove Trump, the pike bearers and executioners won't follow a deposed Dictator's orders.
