Convictions have already happened as well. It's consequences you're missing.

Let's be real, those "felonies" wouldn't take anyone down, they were a joke. "oh no, you took money from pile A to pay for hookers, not money from pile B." A complete waste of resources, how many millions were wasted on that crap?

I think when 50 of them voted to confirm Hegseth that any hope for sane minds among the GOP should have been long fucking gone.

He's been impeached, three times I think.
Think of impeachment as a crowd chanting "shame on you!". It won't actually accomplish much. If anything, it encourages someone like Trump, who takes great pride in being shameful and hated.

He hasn't been fully impeached. If ratified by the senate he would be removed from office.
Mulligrubs 2 points 5 months ago
He has been fully impeached to the absolute maximum, congress does impeachment and that is all.
Senate does an impeachment trial. They are not the same thing.
Bill Clinton was IMPEACHED. Donald Trump was IMPEACHED. Your correction is REJECTED by every available news source and every available English dictionary on planet Earth.
Look it up.

This war could have been you guys voting for a woman

A sad reality is that when Donny eventually dies he might take all of us with him.

Sometimes I wonder if this is what he’s doing already. It’s like he’s speedrunning through the worst ideas and his worst impulses and yet I fear the worst is yet to come. It will take generations of steady and firm leadership, real leadership, to unfuck the damage he’s done. He is a clear and present danger to the world, and the longer we continue to play this game of existential chicken the more we show our asses in complacency that turns to complicity with each day that passes.

Not under a two party zio/pedo system.

All sarcastic memes and edginess aside, I really want this to be a clear, explicit result: Every congressman who voted against impeachment of Hegseth after Signalgate is very much responsible for every one of the >100 innocent students and teachers killed in that school bombing. We knew LONG ago that Hegseth was an incompetent drunkard.
Not to ever say this war was necessary, but I’d have much rathered it at least be handled competently.

That would require someone to surgically implant spines into Republican's bodies.

Don't put the cart before the horse. Let's start at brains.

Impeachment won't happen even if Democrats hold both the houses.
chortle_tortle 2 points 5 months ago
Even if they did the SC would invent a Major Presidents Doctrine that suspends such actions.

We need Project 202ATE.
Arrest. Trial. Execution.
Impeachment isn't enough.

It would have been if Kamala won, and somehow decided to invade Iran.
RampantParanoia2365 2 points 5 months ago
Has he done one thing that couldn't be an impeachment?
joan 2 points 5 months ago
maybe if he doesn't fuck with the midterms and if dems win the senate and the house and he like follows the constitutional law.. maybe we could finally convict him (again)
if if if if
and after all that he pulls a nixon and nothing happens

No it couldn't have.
It's a nice thought, but both ruling parties support this, even if the voting majority does not. But please, tell me more about this wonderful democracy we have in America.
FlashMobOfOne -4 points 5 months ago
It was only symbolic, like everything positive that Democrats do. And, living in a country where my eighty year-old parents have to drive for DoorDash or face homelessness, I don't care about stupid symbolic shit anymore.
Nor am I willing to give Dems credit for it. They need to do something useful.

You can keep watching. Have a pleasant day.

Good to see someone actually understands how fucked things actually are. Sad that most people just eat up the performances.
