Just your daily reminder from Democrats that they suck.

    To be fair, it would.nwver get past the Senate. Why spend time on another symbolic gesture that won’t do anything but grab one day of news headlines?

    It’s all theater. The democrats are there to make normal people think there is someone “good” in the government. The only ones who actually change society meaningfully are the conservatives. This is because FDR passed the new deal to prevent a second civil war, and the owners of the US hated that so much that they’ve been walking back that shit for 100 years. Essentially, back in the “gilded age” working people were essentially slaves to the companies they worked for, paid in scrip only valid at company stores, forced to live in company housing. The working people started pushing back, with violence. The US government unsurprisingly put down these ‘protests’ working on behalf of the business interests. Before it could come to a head, FDR did the new deal, and wwii buttoned it all up. They’ve been trying to make everybody slaves again ever since, and they’re pretty close now.

    Funny he thinks it’s going to be up to him. He’s just going to be another Congressional Rep, and someone else will be making the decisions. He’s already had his shot, and he allowed MAGA to rise again and take back over. He’s already proved he’s too weak and cowardly to get the job done, it’s time for someone else.

    In fact, both Jeffries and Schmuck need to be investigated just like every MAGA. I’m not convinced that they aren’t Manchurian MAGAs. They got a lotta splainin to do.

    You have got to be fucking kidding me. That is quite literally the easiest and most free political slam dunk possible. These people have brain damage.

    Right. Even if they impeached him, he’s not going anywhere.

    It would be better to counter him as much as possible. I just don’t trust Jeffries to do even that.

      It’s like you could actually do both.

      Also even though the chance of having the Senate follow through is basically nil, I still believe having public impeachment hearings where these assholes actually press the matter, bring the facts and be as explicit and dramatic with the facts as possible with the American public, because let’s face it Americans are too dumb to be all about the facts, about the unconstitutional things he’s done and how he AND the Republican party + Fetterman are responsible for the spike in every things for the American people. You don’t have to remove Trump in order for an impeachment to be successful.

      But then again with these spinless dicks that call themselves Democrats, maybe it is better that they don’t have impeachment hearings because they would softball everything just like last times and get no point across.

    I don’t like Jeffries but he’s correct here. No point in impeaching him cause he’s never removed. Better off just blocking off and reversing every executive decision he’s made.

      Yeah. It shows that the current opposition party will always be against a national threat to democracy and pedophilic rapist.

      It puts all of the blame solely on the party destroying everything and shows the democratic constituency that their votes matter.

      I think I am growing to hate the worthless, centrists in this country even more everyday. How does one compromise with a rapist? With a pedophile? How do you compromise with a seditious traitor who sells our secrets to the highest bidder openly?

      The fact we aren’t in a war already shows that the country has already fallen and the Democrats aren’t any way back to normalcy. They COMPROMISE with domestic terrorists that have killed science and education, farmers, cancer patients, children, etc.

      WORTHLESS

        I was leaning toward, ‘without winning the Senate its a waste of time when there are so many other pressing concerns.’

        But no, you’re right, they have to walk and chew pedo-gum at the same time. They have to take action against the ongoing national threat, and they have to move the country on from these people’s dystopic vision of the US. Its a necessary part of the program.


        It’d also have the tactical benefit of distracting from the WH regime’s program, and allow political space for wavering Republicans to push back against certain excesses lessening the damage the WH is able to carry out from that point.

      Am impeachment is just a trial. Unless the dens can get enough seats in the Senate that are willing to convict and remove trump an impeachment where Trump refuses all congressional subpoenas for him and the rest of the Epstein administration is meaningless.

    When asked if impeachment was a top priority, Jeffries said “of course not” during an appearance on “Fox News Sunday.”

    He was on fox news when he said this; most likely, given the dems have already tried to impeach trump twice, he was trying to give the fascists a way to rationalize accepting dems winning the house. Besides this is a completely reasonable thing - unless dems win the senate too it shouldn’t be the priority to do something completely pointless.

    Looks like there are republican Democrats that need to be replaced as much as Republicans are.

    FYI for anyone in his district: Jeffries has a Democratic primary challenger this June — Vance Bostic, a working-class guy who as far as I can tell hasn’t had a lot of press, but if you live in Brooklyn and are a registered Democrat it’s probably worth checking him out.

    they’ll get to it eventually; after they try to get 60 vote threshold votes and potentially succeed - low expectations here though
