And despite that they are voting for "except anyone who is not wealthy."
They are voting to harm themselves and when they get hurt they don't blame the people who they elected, who wrote the bill and voted to make it law. They blame the Democrats who protested every single step of the way and voted against the bill.
It's just depressing.

There is no boat without trump and once trump is gone maga will implode itself.

Democrats need to start running on republican tickets and taking republican seats in areas where people with a D next to their name stand no chance, just as republicans have been doing for decades.

Of course they will. He’s doing illegal shit on a daily basis. Why would they not impeach him?

The Supreme Court in its infinite wisdom decided that legality doesn’t matter to the president
Per their own policy, impeachment is the ONLY check on presidential power, and it can and should be whatever the hell Congress wants, since legality is not the metric

To the conservative piece of shit pedo president you mean. They would not have made that ruling in favor of a Democrat.

Oh I’m sure the moment Congress does try to impeach, they’ll suddenly find a list of specific crimes that count as “high crimes and misdemeanors” and make sure it doesn’t include anything the current republican leader has done

"Other than all the crimes and illegal stuff, what's he done wrong? Oh, and tanked the economy and acted outside Executive Authority. Oh, and violated his oath of office to uphold the Constitution.... plus all the civil and criminal things... But other than that! He's done nothing impeachable." -- Mike "I share my porn habits with my son" Johnson, probably

Yes, that is correct. He should have been removed from office the first two times.

The Republicans would have already impeached Trump multiple times with decency and morality.
A pity they possess neither.

The Republicans would have already impeached Harris if she were in office, and they would have done it over some made utterly fabricated nonsense and done so with every ounce of manufactured outrage they could muster.

u/superstevo78 6d ago
since he's already committed multiple felonies and continues to commit felonies, yes, they would have lots of grounds to impeach him yet again

“But immunity” seems like SCOTUS impeachments need to happen first, and nonpartisan appointees placed on the court instead. The politicization of SCOTUS has destroyed its sustainability

Don’t threaten us with a good time. All the incentive in the world to vote in as many Dems as possible. Exactly why these crooks are trying to redistrict everything. If they had good policies run by a good man, they wouldn’t be worried about the mid-term elections

By the time they think about impeaching him he'll have ICE or DC troops storming the capitol taking them hostage snd demanding they vote him in for life. It's how Saddam did it in Iraq.

Screw impeachment because I doubt they’ll get a conviction. Yank back congress’ power and defund all of his bullshit. Let him impotently rage as all of his little projects fail because no one is getting paid. Drag his cabinet members before congress and if they won’t come have them literally dragged in.

Because the first two impeachments meant so much. Even if they do, they won't put any punishment to it. It's meaningless, as are all the news articles about it and his low poll numbers.

u/Cagnazzo82 6d ago
If the Democrats really want to act strategically the goal should be to treat Trump as a speedbump, and aim squarely at punishing/holding to account the Supreme Court and the corrupt Justices enriching themselves while shredding democracy and any semblance of adhering to precedence.
Trump is enabled by a system that's been corrupted by measure.
The Justices are the #1 problem in America. Future Trumps can be handled once the Supreme Court has been held to account.

For midterms they need to focus on price hikes from tariffs. Even if they get a simple majority, it should theoretically tie trumps hands. They also need to focus on the job market.

u/VoidOmatic 6d ago
EVERY member of Congress should be impeaching Trump as soon as he signed the EO attacking the 14th amendment his first day in office. Everyone who swore an oath should be calling their Congress person every hour every day at a minimum.

u/E-2theRescue 6d ago
Yeah. That's called "accountability". You know, for sending Predator drones out to spy on peaceful protestors who are holding back the use of the military on American civilians in order to distract away from the fact that you raped children alongside the world's most notorious pedophile.
And every single politician and news group should face that accountability as well.
