If I had a nickle for everytime articles of impeachment came up during this administration I could probably go get myself an extra large double double.
They haven’t tried to impeach this asshole nearly as much as they’ve needed to.
This should have been a constant, non-stop effort since Jan 20th of 2025. The Dems have completely fucked themselves to Trump to the point even he has said he’s surprised how little push back there is.
Its too little too late. They can’t stop him in time for whatever the fuck is going to happen now.
At the very least, they should have been doing this for every violation of the constitution he’s done to make the country aware of what’s happening.
Nah. It would show that there is an actual opposition party instead of a bunch of whiners that yell about stuff but vote for his political appointments and allow bills to pass when they could stall everything.
Yeah, this should’ve been going since at least the ICE bullshit started, at latest. One resolution fails? Another one, right then. Keep it going, constantly, Enemy At The Gates style. Make them defend the position, make them justify it to their supporters.
Honestly, I’m all for it and wish the dems had been doing it even more.
It’s not about success at this point; it’s about making it resolutely clear through the voting record which members of congress are seditious traitors abrogating their oath of office. Makes it much easier for the Nuremburg II lawyers, in other words, if/when a future reckoning happens.

Same here. And for the record, until now usually it has been Al Green introducing articles of impeachment alone, but doing it anyway because it’s the right fucking thing to do. I have nothing but the deepest respect for that, because it has NOT helped him politically, but he does it anyway, like the sign at the State of the Union address: where the fuck were his Democratic colleagues??? Even if it goes nowhere, I appreciate that there’s at least one Dem in DC not politely ignoring the total illegality and unconstitutionality of what the orange chancre does.
This time, though, it is John Larson of Connecticut introducing the articles of impeachment, a guy who’s been in Congress since 1999. I never heard of him, so I looked him up. And while this impeachment is still the right thing to do, Larson is 100% a party man, never steps out of line, and has never done this or anything like it before.
But in an unrelated note, Wikipedia says that, “For the first time since 1999, Larson faces serious Democratic challengers.” Better late than never, but I have to ask myself, would Larson even be bothering if his own ass weren’t on the line because progressives – not R’s, not D’s, but progressives – are overturning almost every single election they’re appearing in with shock wins, often with unexpected double-point leads?
I’ll take a Hail Mary pass, but it would go over a lot better with me if I didn’t think he was doing it solely to save his own seat.

Power never acts out of altruism, only out of self-interest. If you want things to get better, you have to put enough pressure on those in power that the things that are in their best interest are also the things that are good for society. If Larson is under enough pressure that he thinks impeaching Trump is his best strategy then that’s a good thing.
Jokes on you, I cleaned out all my spread out 401k accounts ehen I saw them losing value. I’d rather have escape money than pretend I will ever retire with dignity in this undeveloping nation.
If I had a nickle for everytime articles of impeachment came up during this administration, I’d have a lot of money - but I still wouldn’t be able to get myself a double double, because the price has inflated the whole time.

There should have been a non-stop effort to impeach him since January 6, 2021.
Well, he was only in office for 14 days after that, so it kind of took care of itself…until Jan. 20, 2025.
Impeachment also makes it so you can’t hold office again.
Democrats decided we needed to move on.
Just like we did with Nixon.
I swear to God Democrats are like Charlie Brown thinking that Sally isn’t going pull the football from him.
Hey, it keeps getting the same ones re-elected. No reason for them to change.
If the law were followed, he would have been ineligible to run again due to treason. But the law only applies to poors now.
Successfully impeaching him after he left office may well have been enough to keep him off the ballot in '24.

A constant, non-stop effort would kind of dull all of them, wouldn’t it?

Impeach harder!
But… the market! Think of my investments!
Jokes on you, I cleaned out all my spread out 401k accounts ehen I saw them losing value. I’d rather have escape money than pretend I will ever retire with dignity in this undeveloping nation.
TBH markets despise uncertainty and Trump has long since lost the majority of the business community.
This.
If I had a nickle for everytime articles of impeachment came up during this administration, I’d have a lot of money - but I still wouldn’t be able to get myself a double double, because the price has inflated the whole time.
You would have way more money than that. You’d have enough to buy a pardon for Trump
Needs a space there. If I had a nickel…
How would throwing a nickel at them improve their grammar?
Tuition for the Derek Zoolander school for kids who can’t read good.
What about the kids that want to do other stuff good too?
They can’t even fit in the building!
