Greed tho

Yeah, it is. The straggling Democrats need to be primaried. Noem makes up undeniable lies in front of Congress every time she testifies.

It is very disheartening that not a single R is supporting this. Or it would be if I had any heart left to dis.

Dems growing a spine is a story worth telling.

Secretary Kristi Noem is skyrocketing, nearly doubling in the last week to 100 co-sponsors.

That's still less than half the Dem caucus on a motion that should be a litmus test for Rules Based Intentional Order liberalism.

I'd say the most damning indictment of impeachment is that it's not along party lines. 113 House Dems aren't sponsoring a bill to remove the most corrupt bureaucrat to hold the DHS office.

Dems should be talking about DHS like Republicans talk about the IRS. Not whatever this is.

It’s not even on party lines, more than half of Democrats see an innocent woman get shot in the face and still refuse to act.

If you sign up to be the mouthpiece you should expect to be one of the first people to get punched in the mouth.

don’t think it’s her so much as Stephen Miller.

Noem was an outspoken fascist from her days as governor. It's how she got the job.

Might as well debate whether Himmler or Goering hated Jews more.

I believe you mis-spelled 'depose', or another more 'effective' word... 'impeach' has beem proven a synonym for 'wag a stern finger at, accomplishing nothing'.

Thats exactly correct and anyone who tries to say otherwise is either being willfully ignorant or intentionally minimizing this fact. You might also be surprised to learn that many of these Dems voted against impeaching Trump for a third time last year. Their actions speak much louder than words.

Skyrocketing / exploding numbers doesn't imply a majority.

A number can grow significantly and still be a less than another number.

Not exactly.

For context, a bill only needs one sponsor. Most bills have about 2 or 3 cosponsors. Signing a bill as a cosponsor is not the same as voting, which hasn't happened yet.

The impeachment process is complicated and difficult (by design). Congress is split in two parts, the House of Representatives, and the Senate. Anyone in the House can introduce a bill to impeach someone (bring them to trial). But in order for anything to happen, you need a majority vote to adopt that bill. It then gets sent to the Senate, where they have another majority vote to decide if there will be a trial. If and only if there's a trial, you need a 2/3 majority vote in the Senate to convict. This has happened exactly 8 times in the history of the United States, and never for a sitting president.

If you don't have at least a majority in both parts of Congress, it's basically pointless. Introducing an impeachment bill becomes a symbolic gesture. All the voters hear is "Democrats tried to impeach, and failed. Again." This demoralizes Democrat voters and energizes Republican voters.

So, yeah, a lot of Democrat politicians aren't on board because they already know how this will play out.

I can't understand why people don't see this. Democrats in the minority sure are fighters, but oh darn, they just don't have the numbers, so vote harder next time! Democrats in the majority suddenly have to be super diplomatic, lest they ruffle feathers across the aisle and lose cooperation with the political party that rarely cooperates. Keep voting hard and they'll get there, eventually!

It's not a vote. I think it was like 7 people who co-sponsered Trump's first impeachment, and it passed the house.

In the end it will never get through the senate, so it won't matter though.

Things are going to get really really bad in like August through October. I hope everything goes off normally, but I think most people are expecting the worst we've seen so far. Trump and Co. has done too much illegal shit to not risk everything to stay out of prison.

That's simply because impeaching trump is a lot harder. They are in fact talking about it too tho

Let's not let the perfect get in the way of the good tho

They won't sacrifice their current golden lamb even if it's make a lot of things shit. But Kristi, she's a sacrificial cow. They'd happily throw her under the bus to install another puppet to take the blame.

He only has a couple months left to live anyways
