But Clinton was impeached for a BJ, seriously?! America is so fucked!! Time to CLEAN HOUSE!!!

[-] johnyreeferseed@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 8 hours ago

Not even for the BJ, for lying about the BJ.

[-] P00ptart@lemmy.world 4 points 7 hours ago

Lying under oath was by far the biggest issue on that.

impeachement was spearheaded none other than NEWT GINGRICH, who also is the brainchild to never work with the other side.

“I think you would have to have an investigation where you actually talk to witnesses and review documents and look at, you know, video and listen to audio. You need to do all of that before any decisions are made,” he said.

…then how about we start doing that one of these days, maybe??

What does "voting 'present'" mean?

I'm guessing it is a bit like abstaining but with some sort of special meaning in the house?

[-] Someonelol@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 9 hours ago

The Controlled Opposition Party strikes again. Can't wait for them to write another strongly worded letter while begging for more donations smh.

They emphasized: “Impeachment is a sacred constitutional vehicle designed to hold a corrupt executive accountable for abuse of power, breaking the law and violating the public trust.”

“None of that serious work has been done, with the Republican majority focused solely on rubber stamping Donald Trump’s extreme agenda. Accordingly, we will be voting ‘present’ on today’s motion," they continued.

Jesus Christ we are about to go to war with Venezuela for fucking oil where potentially tens of thousands of people, including Americans, will die and these motherfuckers are still coming up with excuses. Y'all keep bitching about Trump's overreach yet have done fuckall to do anything about it besides bitch and complain that you are powerless.

But he's the president of peace, right?

[-] Wytch@lemmy.zip 28 points 12 hours ago

It's funny looking back and thinking about how I used to assume that the opposing party would rain down hellfire on a President that abused his office, thus decorum would keep power in check.

It wasn't ever actually true when I was a kid and it's extremely obvious now that was always theater. There's almost no one in office with morals, ethics, or courage. It's a generally craven career full of spineless sycophants and opportunists.

There are a few decent people who aren't just pretending to care about the people they work for. But in general it's a scam, an orphan crushing machine operated by corrupted weirdos.

I know they have their little justifications behind the scenes. No one will remember them. They'll just say "Democrats failed to vote in favor of impeachment against the most transparently corrupt President in U.S. history."

[-] untorquer@lemmy.world 1 points 6 hours ago

They've been choosing to fail then turning around and asking for money to help them weigh their choice between failing and cosplaying bravery (as a treat) for my entire life.

Then half the legislation they do get through is as bad as if it was written by the other side...

It's been absurdly consistent.

[-] SuperNovaStar 46 points 13 hours ago

As if anyone needed more evidence that the Dems are a joke and nothing more.

[-] melsaskca@lemmy.ca 1 points 17 minutes ago

You're limiting yourself. I would add republicans to that list, maybe even most of humanity. We are all silly humans thumping our chest over a cause.

[-] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 1 points 5 hours ago

at least we know alot of them are DINOS like 10-15 in the party, if not more, fetterman doesnt count since hes more of a conservative.

“My donors don’t think it would be a good idea for my party to be in power.”

[-] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago)

if they dint impeach him 2 times, they surely wont a 3rd time. and many in the DNC are just Dinos, they thrive off of the division between Ds and R, just as much as the gop does. its also just PR, they arnt that serious about getting rid of him.

[-] titanicx@lemmy.zip 1 points 7 hours ago

Fuck it keep going. 

[-] Triumph@fedia.io 11 points 12 hours ago

It wouldn't have passed either way, but ffs have some spine.

[-] ICCrawler@lemmy.world 2 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago)

If they had a spine the Dems would have fucking slammed Repubs for Jan 6th when Biden was in office. They did not. They are garbage "leaders" doing little more than sustaining the status quo in between Republican run terms that fuck things up even more. The whole lot of them need to be put to pasture right alongside the republicans. USA does not need peaceful protest. It needs fucking blood, of both politicians and CEOs.

But it's not happening, so we're all gonna sit here and just watch this shit get worse.

[-] Asafum@feddit.nl 2 points 8 hours ago

I hope that future generations use the name Garland to represent the biggest fucking coward a person could possibly be.
