Men’s Warehouse Guy: Trump just handed the Democrats an airtight impeachment case…

…but they won’t prosecute him for this, I guarantee it.

    Fuck man, Trump was impeached twice. Is it ‘third time’s the charm’? Or have you forgotten what removal takes? Or, for that matter, what the House currently looks like?

    I’d like to see Dems introduce impeachment proceedings over this, but even if they do, it’s not going to make much of a difference, other than changing the beat of some online drums from “DEMS SHOULD DO IT EVEN IF IT’S JUST SENDING A MESSAGE OF DISAPPROVAL” to “I CAN’T BELIEVE DEMS ARE WASTING TIME ON SOMETHING THEY KNOW WON’T MAKE A DIFFERENCE”

      Dems have already done it twice in his second term, but no one remembers because Trump’s weekly crazy shit is crazier than impeachment, and because the press doesn’t spent time covering something that the GOP can insta-block because they’re the majority.

      Ah, well you don’t have to worry about them wasting time on this, because they very definitely do not want to close the door on doing extra-legal imperial management The Right Way when next they hold the presidency.

            As long as people like you keep blaming everyone but those that ARE the problem, you can expect nothing to ever change.

              it’s a duopoly, mate

              Dems are perfectly happy to keep things like the NSA and ICE funded, then act shocked when Republicans use these tools. They’re all part of the problem.

                    Do you never wonder why sometimes people are only willing to discuss things with you for only so long?

                    It’s because once you get ankle-deep into ignorance, you’re given no reason to explore any deeper.
