They couldn't even pass a measure to pause hostilities against Iran, there's no way they will have the 2/3 senate vote needed to remove him from office. I doubt it even has the 50% house vote to advance the impeachment process to that stage.

The majority of American politicians in office approve of Trump and what he's doing. Maybe after some seats shuffle in the midterms, which is already overly optimistic, there might be margins just slim enough to convince a handful of senators to cross the aisle and vote Trump out of office. But even then, I wouldn't hold out much hope of that happening. MAGA voters remain committed to the cult, and Republican incumbents want to keep those votes to stay in office.

The GOP always puts party before country.

But the unfortunate truth is that if you look at all serious presidential impeachments, the votes went almost exactly down party lines. Regardless of the party. Fortunately for the left, though, this time it's Republicans who are clearly in the wrong.

IIRC, no senator had ever voted to convict an impeached president in their own party until Mitt Romney did against Trump.

It's just weird to think that they have this big trial, and present tons of evidence, and the most important factor in how you judge the case is which side of the room you're sitting on. Nothing to do with the actual trial.

So, unless Republicans actually start doing their jobs and follow the Constitution and start working to benefit their constituents and stop breaking their oaths of office, the only chance America has for justice is if there is a massive blue wave in the elections this year.

Not when half the population seems to think a man like Elon is the smartest man in the world despite plenty of conveniently ignored evidence to the contrary.

Wouldn’t matter anyway. Most of the government seems to consist of folks that have Trumps dick so far down their throats that he’s solely responsible for the shit that falls out of their asses every time they speak.

This is the first time they've done it in the face of an impending blue wave, though. I was actually considering just a few days ago that, given the polls, republicans removing trump might be their only chance (besides a full-on military coup) at retaining any shred of power through midterms. What's left of the republican party will fall flat on its face without trump (as cults typically do), but they also can't afford to keep him around because he's so supremely unpopular.

They've really backed themselves into a corner. Now the question is: how overtly fascist are they willing to go? Is the impeachment just a hedge to try and survive midterms? Guess we'll see...

The cult in power makes it impossible to do so legally. The only way he'd be removed is by other means.

Won't even impeach him this time.

TOP. MEN.

Yeah, kidnapping a foreign president isn't exactly legal either... I'm not a Venezuelan apologist by any means but damn... Not a good thing at all.

Gross, why would I want to preserve that orange sack of goo?

Just pop out a corner and go BOO!

God damn, I didn't realize there were so many, they really haven't gotten much coverage past the initial 2 because the other resolutions never actually made it to full on impeachment hearings/trial.

all of those from this term were from the progressive caucus

The point is to gum up the works and to actually do their job regardless of lack of success. I don't understand how people are okay with them not doing their jobs after we complain so much they don't do anything.

This aint the third time

So they shouldn't even try?

There's speculation that he introduced the impeachment articles because he is losing his base at home, as he has a primary challenger. So the possibility is that he doesn't really mean it/care and it's all optics to appeal to a base he doesn't give 2 shits about. I'm not going to disparage the representative, we should be attempting to impeach him every day.

There is no need for a draft in the United States unless we’re fighting against China.

Under modern conditions of warfare, there is no need for a draft under any circimstances.

The snozzberries taste like snozzberries

Its not an actual impeachment until the house votes in favor and it goes to a senate trial.
