Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles. Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing other users of being bots or paid actors.
  3. No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do. Any slap-fight is subject to comment removals. Fights full of rule violations will result in temporary bans to cool off.
  4. No manipulating votes via bots or alt accounts; this will result in permanent bans. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in an account ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be permanently banned.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have comments or posts removed, weaponize reports, or violate the code of conduct, will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.

That's all the rules!

I mean they already voted for impeachment twice

[–] Pratai@piefed.ca -2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

And remind me…. How’d that turn out?

[–] nathan@lem.permisuan.com 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

The question is will they impeach him a third time, not will he be removed from office. You're saying they won't impeach him a third time. I think they will. To answer your question, nothing came of it. But that's not the question the article is asking

[–] Pratai@piefed.ca 0 points 3 days ago (1 children)

So…. We’re asking wether or not a pointless and ineffective thing will, or will not happen- and just ignoring the entire point that wether it does or doesn’t- won’t matter in the least, but will cost a fuck ton of time, effort and taxpayer money for no good reason.

Do I understand this correctly?

[–] nathan@lem.permisuan.com 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I mean yeah that's literally the question in the article

[–] Pratai@piefed.ca 0 points 3 days ago (1 children)

No, it’s not. It’s just asking the typical sensationalist copium bullshit. It doesn’t ask why they’re bothering since it’s meaningless.

[–] nathan@lem.permisuan.com 3 points 3 days ago

Yes they are asking the typical sensational bullshit. Correct. The headline is literally "If Democrats Win Control of Congress in the Midterms, Will They Impeach Trump a Third Time?". Your first comment was no they won't, and I'm saying they have already done it 2 times before, and I'm assuming they will do it again... No one ever said it would do any good or if he would be removed from office.
