Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

"Republicans will never allow articles of impeachment to be brought to the floor of the House of Representatives, and we know that's the case”
Headline should read instead
TRUMP CAN THREATEN REPUBLICANS TO PREVENT ALL ARTICLES OF IMPEACHMENT
You know, like how the Indiana congressmen got swatted and threatened into redistricting early
When you put it like that it's extra pathetic that Democrats are so spineless on this.
Im not satisfied with democrats response to Trump but I’m genuinely curious what you want them to do here?
Do you want to see every articles of impeachment fail every time they’re introduced while republicans hold both houses?
Do you think that will leave democrats in a stronger position if they fail to impeach anyone over and over?
Every article of impeachment fail? How about a just having single article of impeachment failing? How about now shying away from being on the record to point out that murder isn't right? How about not being a bunch of cowards for once and get into the mosh pit and throw down for once instead of telling the world they're not even going to try because it's just too hard.
Do I think that Democrats would be in a stronger position? Hell yes I do because recent polls show that Americans best word to describe them is WEAK and doing something, anything against something as egregious as war crime would help them not be seen, and rightly so, as pathetically weak.
Well I think if democrats failed to impeach anyone they would look even weaker and I’m pretty sure the public at large would also think so
It’s not merely “too hard” it’s literally impossible to impeach Trump when republicans physically control both houses of congress
I'm so sick of this argument. Fucking let it fail. Then do it again. And again. Fucking do something! At least show us that you are trying!
