    any dem that voted against this will not get my vote. I don’t care how close the seat is. If you can’t uphold the most basic level of constitutional responsibility, you are no better than a conman Republican.

      You’re 100% right, but it’s not like impeachment seems to do anything about the Trump problem. What’s a third impeachment gonna do?

          I don’t think that’s true at all. The RNC controls both chambers, the impeachment bill (which wouldn’t remove him anyway) would never pass. So the cowardly could still vote for it knowing full well it’ll never happen.

          The DNC aren’t truly against Trump, you gotta remember, otherwise they would have taken action to safeguard the country from fascist rule instead of spending the last 4 years largely doing fuck all.

              Can I call it a Zamboni? I don’t hear that word enough.

              My take is they’re keeping their powder dry. This wasn’t going to go anywhere, and if it ended up being party-line, they’re handing Trump the “they’re plotting a coup!” card. “THE ONLY THING THAT CAN SAVE AMERICA IS YOU BUYING MY CRYPTO!!!”

              We’re only five months in; much worse can still happen. The U.S. told Iran hours ahead of time where it would strike, and the facilities were evacuated. Likewise, in Iran’s counterattack, it told both Qatar and the U.S. where it was going to hit so they could evacuate.

              This is a show of force on both sides, nothing more. It’s not the end, by any means, but as war goes, this remains (what a terrible term in this context) civil. Iran and Israel were not so kind to each other.

                Why do they need to keep their powder dry, they could fight and they would find that when they gain more support that they in turn gain more powder.

                If the Democrats keep showing themselves to be weak and feckless they will find out the powder they were saving for years and decades will turn out to be talcum powder not gun powder. It will only be useful for putting in their incontinence diapers.

                  It’s abundantly clear there’s nothing so egregious Trump can do that congressional Republicans will turn on him and vote to impeach and convict. A battle that can’t be won is not a battle worth fighting.
