You're absolutely right, I forgot about that. That was very strategic of him to have such a running mate. Pence might actually be worse. But at least for the principal of the matter it should be done..
Is there a way to get rid of both of them at the same time?

Lol wait, that was a fear of escalating stuff for stupid reasons. Like Russian hacking.
This is..an airstrike on a friggin chemical plant. Which came about when..a chemical attack murdered a bunch of people, including children.

I'm talking about the argument everyone used regarding Hillary's no-fly zone policy, which Trump supporters criticized and said would escalate tensions / cause WW3. It's separate from the Russian hacking thing.It was a Syrian government air base, not a chemical plant.
Okay but the context here is that we just had a deadly chemical attack that killed shitloads of people including children.
Which is something I hope people keep in mind before they immediately jump to "but Hilary!". Also btw, PLENTY of Trump supporters are indeed upset over this. Richard Spencer put out a whiny 20 minute video. So not only has Trump alienated Russia with this(but..collusion!) but also some of the alt right.
What do you think we should have done?

Because Articles of Impeachment originate in the House of Representatives, which is controlled by Republicans.
They are not going to move to impeach a member of their own party who will rubber stamp any damaging bill they ram through, and replace him with a more deliberative person.
But way to shift the blame to the opposition party who does not have the power to do anything.

No. al-Assad is beholden to Putin. Trump is beholden to Putin. The ties of Trump to Putin are coming under the microscope, so Putin uses one puppet to make the other look like he is not one too. It is a conveniently-timed distraction designed to make Trump look tough on Russia, so people like you will think that he could not possibly have Russian ties.

Again: if Trump is beholden to Putin why is he launching missiles at Syria? Especially makes zero sense if Putin has stuff to black mail Trump.
But I do love the conspiracy theories. Now you're implying Trump did this just so people wouldn't think he is in cahoots with Russia? Right.
I love the lunacy of the left. No matter what they will find a way to whine about Trump. If they can't find anything on the surface they will start putting forth conspiracy theories.

Not weird at all.
Why would Assad use a chemical attack now that only serves to make his allies look bad and turn the world against him when he could have killed those very same people with a conventional bombing as he has been and not drawn attention? Do the maths.

Right right, so who is behind this conspiracy theory then? Who masterminded it?
Trump, I'm guessing? Or the Russians? Or both?

Then people make it worse and exacerbate the situation when they go "maybe, but it totally wasn't my sides fault! The other side forced our hand!".
Like for instance, I predict you will respond and..more or less say that lol.
You don't find it convenient at all that with the Trump/Russia scandal gaining head, Assad who was winning his war/genocide and had a new US president who basically said "let Syria deal with themselves", decided now to use an attack that draws world-wide negative attention when he could have just continued dropping bombs freely and now Trump gets to fire some missiles at an airstrip which makes him look tough and tough on Russia? An atrocity story will always dominate the news.
edit: Of course you don't. Why bother.

It sucks you don't like hearing reality and shout butthurt whenever someone drops a reality bomb on you.
Also do you not even read the meme's you post? You said people blame liberals, I said both sides blame the other. That is not an example of someone blaming everything on liberals.

I don't think Trump would set up an attack just to get people not to talk about Russia. Especially when people in this country will get distracted by stupid tweets and shit, he doesn't need to stage some attack.
Just send Sean Spicer out to a press conference with his pin upside down again. Boom, distraction. Or just have one of his aides criticize a female or a minority. Boom, shouts of racism and sexism distract.
