    Wow, so much for being the party of “Resistance.” Tell me again how we can depend on the neo-liberals to not only do the right thing but also their jobs?

    Right. Even if they impeached him, he’s not going anywhere.

    It would be better to counter him as much as possible. I just don’t trust Jeffries to do even that.

      It’s like you could actually do both.

      Also even though the chance of having the Senate follow through is basically nil, I still believe having public impeachment hearings where these assholes actually press the matter, bring the facts and be as explicit and dramatic with the facts as possible with the American public, because let’s face it Americans are too dumb to be all about the facts, about the unconstitutional things he’s done and how he AND the Republican party + Fetterman are responsible for the spike in every things for the American people. You don’t have to remove Trump in order for an impeachment to be successful.

      But then again with these spinless dicks that call themselves Democrats, maybe it is better that they don’t have impeachment hearings because they would softball everything just like last times and get no point across.

      Yeah. It shows that the current opposition party will always be against a national threat to democracy and pedophilic rapist.

      It puts all of the blame solely on the party destroying everything and shows the democratic constituency that their votes matter.

      I think I am growing to hate the worthless, centrists in this country even more everyday. How does one compromise with a rapist? With a pedophile? How do you compromise with a seditious traitor who sells our secrets to the highest bidder openly?

      The fact we aren’t in a war already shows that the country has already fallen and the Democrats aren’t any way back to normalcy. They COMPROMISE with domestic terrorists that have killed science and education, farmers, cancer patients, children, etc.

      WORTHLESS

        I was leaning toward, ‘without winning the Senate its a waste of time when there are so many other pressing concerns.’

        But no, you’re right, they have to walk and chew pedo-gum at the same time. They have to take action against the ongoing national threat, and they have to move the country on from these people’s dystopic vision of the US. Its a necessary part of the program.


        It’d also have the tactical benefit of distracting from the WH regime’s program, and allow political space for wavering Republicans to push back against certain excesses lessening the damage the WH is able to carry out from that point.

      Am impeachment is just a trial. Unless the dens can get enough seats in the Senate that are willing to convict and remove trump an impeachment where Trump refuses all congressional subpoenas for him and the rest of the Epstein administration is meaningless.

    When asked if impeachment was a top priority, Jeffries said “of course not” during an appearance on “Fox News Sunday.”

    He was on fox news when he said this; most likely, given the dems have already tried to impeach trump twice, he was trying to give the fascists a way to rationalize accepting dems winning the house. Besides this is a completely reasonable thing - unless dems win the senate too it shouldn’t be the priority to do something completely pointless.

    FYI for anyone in his district: Jeffries has a Democratic primary challenger this June — Vance Bostic, a working-class guy who as far as I can tell hasn’t had a lot of press, but if you live in Brooklyn and are a registered Democrat it’s probably worth checking him out.

    I don’t like Jeffries but he’s correct here. No point in impeaching him cause he’s never removed. Better off just blocking off and reversing every executive decision he’s made.

    Just count Jeffries and congressional Democrats out of everything. They’re determined to do nothing substantive with whatever power we give them, again. They’re a corporate donor maintenance organization, not a political party, not leaders, and certainly not advocates for any civic ideology other than whatever positions reinforce their ability to perform the above maintenance project.

        Now then. let’s not be so excessive.

        Do you have an idea of the amount of gunpowder needed to make them reach the sun? And for what? With such explosion they’ll disintegrate before reaching their goal.

        Just give each of them a small dynamite charge and blow them up to pieces. The result will be the same, but way cheaper!

          Horrific flashbacks to the time a city decided to blow up a beached whale… The consequences were quite memorable.

          I’d hate to be anywhere near where Trump’s orange mist would travel. That has to smell awful.

      I think it’s the right course of action. If they impeach him he’ll refuse to go and it’ll be Jan 6 on steroids. Riots.

      The better way will be to let him screw things up so bad that MAGA voters realise they were wrong. And the drive behind the movement will disappear. Rather than cause escalation.

      He’s already done that in part by raising costs of life with his tariffs and war.

      Ps I’m in no way supporting the neoliberals, I’m very progressive too. But I don’t see how an impeachment will end well.

        He will not leave regardless.

        None of them can leave, they know they’ll get drowned in a lot of problems, from investigations to lawsuits.

        It’s like the situation in Iran, trump thought he’d throw a few bombs and the Iranian regime would just start writing resignation letters.
        But they can’t leave, if they do they’ll be lynched by the oppressed people.

        The same goes for the current US regime, even the identified ICE-soldiers will get in trouble when the regime falls.

        People won’t be reasoned out of a position they didn’t reason themselves into.

        In other words as things go to shit it won’t be the Fanta fascist’s fault, it will be immigrants or black people, or Demoncrats. They’ll never blame the pedo or themselves. Your way won’t work.

    The last 2 times just shows it’s a waste of time until they have the votes in the Senate to convict and remove him from office.

      It’s clearly on his mind, he’s been mentioning it out of nowhere lately. He doesn’t want to be impeached for a third time. Now you’re right it won’t actually do anything to the administration, but this is one of those times when the principle matters. It’s worth doing it because he deserves it and it would infuriate him.

    Jeffries has zero say what happens in the next congress. Just like Schumer

    They’ve been lame ducks all but two weeks of this session, and they’re not above saying dumb shit like this to try and get progressives to tune out of the primaries.

    They’re doing triage for the neoliberal faction

    If you don’t like them, vote in your Dem primary for the most progressive options.
