Remember gang, articles require conservatives to flip in the house and senate, and his poll numbers are still high with the Republican bases of those house and senate folks.
This will make noise, which is nice, but it’s not going anywhere.

I like it a whole lot more than the Dems standing around with their thumbs up their asses. It probably won't go anywhere, but at least make some fucking noise.
Assuming all democrats in the House vote to impeach, it will take 4 republicans joining them to reach the 50% threshold to succeed. That could honestly be doable. The Senate is another story. It would take 20 republicans to vote with all the democrats and independents to reach the 67% needed to convict. Not impossible, but a profoundly uphill battle.
Call your reps, protest, make noise. As long as the republicans think that Trump's hordes will keep them in office for supporting him, they won't cave. If we can convince them that the MAGA loons will not be enough to get them reelected and keep their cushy jobs, they'll flip. They are not loyal to Trump, they are afraid of him.
The problem is, in what way would all the senators be threatened if they don’t vote against?
Because I guarantee that trump’s administration has dirt on every single one of them.
Remember gang, do it anyway. There's nothing better to vote on, because the majority controls the votes anyway. Get every single nay vote to forever be a black mark against these fucks, and yes, do it again when it fails.
Keep doing it anyway. Every single time they commit a crime, fight to get every last Republican congressmen on the record supporting every last crime this administration ever committed. At the very least so that history remembers: this was never just one man.
And so those people can be strung up together with their dear leader.
Just like the last 2 times.
Well, the last two times the Dems controlled the house. So this won’t even get off the ground.
It's possible for it to make it through the house, but the Senate definitely won't remove him.
I want to have hope. I sincerely do.
Well, Republicans all completely fell in line with Trump after Elon said he'd primary anyone who didn't
Then, Elon outspent the other candidate in the Wyoming supreme court election like 10:1 and still lost. There's talk his involvement hurt more than helped. The very next day Trump said Elon has to go back to his businesses soon
No member of Congress can go out in public without being screamed at to do something. Historically conservative districts are flipping in special elections. Musk's money is useless, Trump's endorsement means less by the day, and even the oligarchs are getting nervous about Trump
Very few politicians are actually loyal to Trump, most are in it for themselves. There's reason for some hope... The pressure is already high. Imagine how bad it'll be in a few weeks, when people start seeing supply chain shortages on the shelves...
Wisconsin Supreme Court. Nobody actually lives in Wyoming.
Elon said he'd primary anyone who didn't
That sort of infighting would lead to a blue blowout in the midterms so bring it on
Not gonna go anywhere, but it's good to get their effort on record. Republicans can own the shitshow.
That's exactly how I feel. Years from now, the articles of impeachment will exist, along with the Republicans inactivity. Not that it will mean anything if we are all dead, but at least there was an attempt.
I don't know if this will be useful if we ever have Nuremberg-type trials, showing republicans were negligent?
Bring it! Horribly overdue!
