Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

You'd think we'd have at least acknowledged the problems with impeachment after Clinton got impeached for saying a BJ wasn't sex...
But that would require Dems to fix a problem with our government rather than ignore it as soon as it's not an immediate issue.
Our political system is fucked and we need a better one.
Yeah, I'm old enough to remember:
My point is we've known the impeachment system was fucked for 30 years. And the only times Dems complain about it, is when a Dem president is facing impeachment.
When anyone can tell Republicans will keep abusing it, and it doesn't actually do enough to hold republicans accountable.
It's political theater that does nothing.
Just another example of how our political system sucks, but no one in political power wants to change anything.
Clinton was impeached for perjury, which is a bit different. I don't think he should have been impeached, but Clinton did actually lie under oath about the affair.
Trump's crimes are significantly more serious, and numerous, and the GOP will forever be responsible for refusing to vote to convict.
He didn't, though. They asked if he had sex, he asked them what sex was, they told him, and he hadn't had sex based on that definition. They purposely equivocated on their definition of sex so that they could accuse him of lying.
You are right, but the rest is so reeking of some sort of new whataboutism.
Oh no a blowjob. Thag is awful. Lets pardon dictator wannabie trying to demolish the westen world BTW.
But well thats what the GOP is trying to do, water the donald impeachments (in plural please) out as just another normal things when it isn't.
Oh I agree completely. It was a partisan shitshow, and nothing compared to the crimes Trump has committed and continues to commit.
