The ones who opposed impeachment the last time were the Republicans. The democrats not only impeached him twice, but if the Republicans hadn't refused to back it they would have had him criminally tried. That is factual history per house and senate records.
after he committed 150 well-documented impeachable offenses, impeaching him twice is a fucking joke.
The point is that democrats are not opposed to impeaching him or prosecuting him. It's always been the republicans.
They are absolutely opposed to impeaching him. They have a long history of not impeaching when it was clearly their Constitutional Duty to do so.
Actually, democrats have a more robust record of impeachment than Republicans. So either you don't educate yourself with facts before posting, or you are just trying to stir up more discontent against democrats so the Republicans can keep the majority.
Remember "He's not worth impeaching"? Who said that? Oh, yeah, the same House Speaker who tossed the Mueller Report in the trash and did absolutely nothing about the 80 other impeachable offenses just lying around at the time.
The speaker of the house since before Trump got elected has been and continues to be Mike Johnson, a republican. Again dobyour research.
Completely irrelevant. All of them have the same Constitutional Duty. They all swore the same oath. Any member can force a vote on impeachment by invoking Rule IX as Al Green did on June 24. Frankly every day they're not invoking Rule IX they're shitting all over their duty and their oath.
Rule 9 only applies when the majority party allows it to apply. By refusing to allow a vote period. The democrats have tried and been shot down each time. The only way without civil war to get rid of Trump is to gain the majority then force the vote.
and waiting for the mid-terms is NOT an option, for many rock solid reasons (we have no idea if there will be any fair elections at all next year is one of them.) and...
At this point the midterms are the only path legally we can hope for. If that fails, then it could very well be civil war.
We gave Pelosi a majority in 2018 and she did ABSOLUTELY FUCKING NOTHING with it. She actively enabled the fascist takeover by normalizing the corrupt dirtbag's crime spree. We need to learn from that really dumb mistake and force them all to advocate for impeachment right now.
Now you're just lying. and why are you so determined to protect the orange criminal from impeachment and removal? like, seriously, what the fuck is wrong with you?
I'm not protecting that load of pedophilic shite. I am as opposed to him and his nazi agenda as I would be to any felonious traitor to this country. I simply refuse to shoot myself in the foot when I may need it later to carry me into battle.
Today he's committed at least 350 well-documented impeachable offenses and he's currently committing about one new one per day. Dem leadership's response to this? Complete and total SILENCE. They refuse to demand impeachment, because they oppose impeachment. They are fascist enablers.
1) they do not have the numbers to impeach. Republicans have the majority and refuse to allow impeachment. 2) articles of impeachment have been introduced to the house, where the process begins, multiple times only to be shot down by the majority Republicans.
re: "There aren't enough votes for impeachment" The way to get the votes is to try. Giving up will not get the votes. Forcing the issue might. and showing the people that they're fighting might help overcome their reputation for being useless wimps who never do anything.
You can't force a vote when the majority leader in the senate refuses to even allow a vote on articles of impeachment. Learn how the government works then get back to me.
If he did something so obnoxiously unconstitutional, he could easily be publicly shamed for that 'till the end of time. and again, the way to get shit done is to apply pressure. Your strategy, give up, do nothing, let the fascists consolidate power is a really fucking bad one.
My strategy is not to give up. But instead try to get a supermajority in both house and senate, failing that it might come to actual civil war. Be prepared either way. That's where I stand. Not tearing down those opposing the administration and its enablers, but preparing for certain possibilities.
Your strategy is to sit around doing fuck all while a fascist consolidates power. That is outrageously fucking stupid. Betting everything on an election in the distant future which will likely be messed with big time.... sorry, just dumb AF and even if the Ds win they oppose impeachment anyway
Again, the democrats, as proven, do not oppose impeachment. They have tried several times to get articles of impeachment passed and sent to the senate. The Republicans shot each one down. Look it up. CSPAN is free.
LOL a large majority of them voted to BLOCK IMPEACHMENT just 8 weeks ago If you had 3 working brain cells you'd know that they OPPOSE IMPEACHMENT.
Jeffries is a Fascist-Enabler Just like Pelosi was They need to be torn down. They need to be forced out just as much as the fucking orange criminal does.
Some should be removed yes. But throwing out the whole party over a few is not only nonsense, but dangerous as you are doing the Republicans work for them.
In an impeachment 60 votes are required to move forward. Democrats hold 49. It would take Republicans to make up the difference. They refuse to because they are the ones propping up this dictatorial administration.
Hmmmm. Sounds like we need to amp up the pressure on any and all Senators who want to support a deranged fascist dictator. The best way to start to do that is to get them on record voting to protect an obviously guilty criminal from impeachment and removal. Let's force those votes.
They are already on record. The entire republican majority in both the house and senate refused to even discuss the issue much less vote on it.
and 128 Democrats voted with them to block impeachment. So, we gotta get rid of about 342 members of Congress. They are pro-fascist. Are you with us?
