Jesus Christ... NO.
Same as the last two times, it's a wasted effort without the votes in the Senate. If you can't remove him, don't bother. Focus on winning back the House and Senate in 2026.
Time and time again, this image remains relevant
One of the things I hate about yes minister is how it still applies 40 years later. Like f%@$!
Ya I always laugh when people talk about how accurately the Simpsons predicts things. It's like, no, politics is just that fucking cyclical and the writers were smart.
I say were because it's not what it used to be.
Though I'd argue the Ds can govern
Impeachment is the check against his power. It would be better to convict, but the democrats need to make the argument and convince the people that Trump should be held accountable. Get Republicans in the Senate and House on record supporting Trump's crimes, and then beat them in the midterm elections.
Impeachment is how you win those elections. Rolling over and showing your belly is why Democrats keep losing before the fight begins.
In this moment impeachment is a waste of time. They would be better served (1) governing super well in places they are in charge (to demonstrate they are the better option - something that is inconsistent today); (2) figuring out why people are voting for Trump; (3) developing strong messaging and strategy to win races top to bottom of the ballot. I've been unimpressed with their ability to both run and govern recently (with some exceptions here and there). Maybe it is catching up with them.
In this moment impeachment is a waste of time.
Any time he's focusing on that is time he's not actively fucking shit up. Being obstructionist is what's gotten the Republicans to the place they are now.
I think impeachment makes him stronger, it gives him whining, hysterical liberals to point at. Oppose and resist him, but just by calling out his BS, not trying to give him a traffic ticket and failing.
That's the idea. Impeach him after 26. It's in the article
Ah, but this is the least effective way for Democrats to show their donors that they're still "fighting" for them. The only thing that matters now is manufacturing some talking point to get more donations in 2026.
This is actually counterproductive, the more times we do it when it's guaranteed to lose, the less likely it is to work.
No GOP backing, so this is meaningless theater.
Exactly. He's been impeached twice and nothing happened. He should have been barred from office years ago. The entire process is nothing but political theatre for donors.
How many times did the magahats offer impeachment articles for Biden? The theater isn't meant to be successful, but just a constant buzz for voters.
Gotta pretend they are doing something
Who exactly? Who is pretending they are doing something?? Is it democrats you’re accusing of pretending to do something?
How about maybe you try reading the article next time instead of chiming in with edgy nonsense.
It is a non partisan group called Free Speech for People. You’d have known that had you read the 1st paragraph of the article.
Oh. And while we’re on the subject of pretending… even if you were right and it is the democrats pretending- at least they pretended to do something. Because so many of you flat out admittedly did nothing.
And look what that got us.
Impeachment stops corrupt individuals, not an entire party of fascists
Lol as proved last time, impeachment means absolutely nothing. It didn't stop the last corrupt individual, in fact he was just reelected and is as corrupt, if not more, than before.
Exactly. The corrupt individual couldn't be stopped because theres an entire corrupted party that supports the corrupt individual.
It's certainly doomed, but democrats already get paid to be there so why not use every tool in the book? Time Congress is arguing about impeachment is time they're not implementing fascist policies
Impeachment is pointless when the republican traitor filth control more than 1/3 of the senate. Suggest other solutions to dealing with trump.
Imagine trying to win over the electorate instead. That'd be crazy.
Nothing news from an empty source.
Impeachment has been of no consequence for more than half a century. Yet another demonstration that the US constitution is fucking idiotic.
What the fuck is impeachment anymore?
Growing up and learning Nixon resigned because he was impeached and made him look terrible I thought it was career ending. Like they'll drag you out of the white house career ending.
Now it just feels like telling a toddler "NO!" but with no consequence when they keep going anyway.
"Surely, this time, impeachment will have consequences!"
Even if it passes, he will never be removed from office. There is no low that Trump can sink to where Republicans will not fall in lockstep with him. It's pointless.
It gives Democrats something to campaign and fundraise on. Now you can FIGHT BACK by donating $25 to the Impeach Trump in 2025 Campaign.
FFS no. All it did the last two times was help him, because impeachment is basically impossible and he's going to "win".
Third time is the charm
I'm starting to think these Democrats aren't taking this seriously
Good. They should get rid of him by any means necessary.
Trump has become an untouchable thanks to the people. 😄
