MODERATORS
The fact that this is not a party line vote for democrats shows you how completely amoral the Democratic leadership is.
This has not been voted on to my knowledge. This article is just about the cosigners officially submitting the bill.
And absolutely nothing will happen. Nice job America!
Send her ass to the hauge
Hey I mean we could use a trebuchet, but I guess impeachment is... fine...
This doesn't matter. It wont get a vote in the house or the senate without republican support. Republicans still refuse to defy their cult leader, so nothing will change until they either realize they are going to prison, or that they will lose all of their money.
The only things politicians care about is money and control, they refuse to lose both.
It doesn't even have full democrat support.
This is more kayfabe, this isn't real. We have ONE party in power, with two public facing personas.
I wish people actually looked at the money and realized that republicans and democrats all have the SAME FUCKING DONORS.
If we want to beat this, we have to flush every incumbent out of office and start fresh. We need community and organization and grassroots like they did in New York but all over the goddamn nation.
Not true
Oh that's a good point. Didn't think of that.
Krusty Gnome is a birdlegged ho
But they won't even consider defunding ICE.
They literally will and are.
That's good to hear. Last I had heard, leadership was against the idea.
Civil disobedience is the only answer going forward.
Start forming your own governments with your own laws. Ignore the 'legitimacy' of the US oligarchy as much as possible.
The fact that democrats want this to happen so badly can only mean it'd be completely useless to do it
You are sadly right, the Dems wanted this. They support it, they are enabling all of it.
The public outcry they pretend to display is just theater. These people all have the same donors who benefit from domestic destabilization.
Go waste someone elses time
It seems a little silly to me that they are talking about impeaching her, but not also Trump. Like who do they think she will be replaced with? My bet is someone worse. If Trump didn't want what ICE is doing they wouldn't be doing it.
It's all performance.
If the Democrats didn't want ICE and domestic chaos that will pave the way for more corporate involvement in all our lives, it wouldn't have happened.
We have one party with two narrative faces. They all have the same donors, they all serve the same masters. The rest is just WWE theatrics.
"if Democrats didn't want ICE and domestic chaos it wouldn't have happened"
This is absolute bullshit. When democrats controlled the white house and Senate this didn't happen. The parties are not the same and the constant refrain that they are is a malicious lie. The only beneficiaries of this kind of both sides FUD are the nazis.
There were more deportations under Dems, the difference between the parties is how they present themselves and what methods they go about plunging the nation into neo-liberalism. I implore you not to be naive about this very, very well-established system for manipulating the attitudes and feelings of a half billion people.
I am not saying don't empower Democrats, the DNC is just a container, we vote out the previous contents of that container and put new contents in. It has worked before and we need to do it again.
Unless you actually, truly, in your heart believe that Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries and their contemporaries are looking out for you. If you do, I can't help you, but I'm sure they will hear your support when you're in the camps.
That's simply because impeaching trump is a lot harder. They are in fact talking about it too tho

Third time's the charm!
It will change nothing, but still should be done for our collective conscience and historic record that we didn’t want this
The only thing this will show is which Democrats will side with Noem and/or Trump.
I that is an important metric
Not only the Dog Murderer, the whole fucking lot needs to GTFO!
It's all symbolic, which is what DC Democrats specialize in. We have a one-party authoritarian state, and the Ruling Party will never allow it.

While I hope for the best, I have low expectations of our timeline.
