Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- 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:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- 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 another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

Huh?! But it's clear grounds for impeachment! I hope everyone starts flooding their inboxes and phone lines...

It was a useless impeachment attempt anyway. If Trump wins the Nobel peace prize for this, how much merit would an impeachment hold regarding said incident?
Pretty ridiculous. Now you're just grasping for anything to stick.
Presidents don't always need approval for military actions, just ask Obama, Biden, Clinton.
It'd be a waste of money. 128 Democrats realized that. You just want him impeached because you hate him no matter what he does.
He can solve world peace and you'd still hate him. Oh wait......
He was nominated, not awarded, and that nomination was rescinded in under 24 hours.
I do agree that this Iran shit isn't impeachable. Congress gave the president 60 days to take unilateral military action, which is fucking stupid, but stupidity is all that comes out of congress nowadays.
Donald trump should have been impeached and barred from office during his first term. Every impeachment (but this one) he's faced was warranted and its a fucking travesty some people put their party over country.
This impeachment isn't warranted, and I say this one who believes we need to leave the middle east the fuck alone.
Realizing id pay a monthly fee for a reddit like app that filters out politics and news in general I want to be ignorant and live and die for entertainment, what religion would this be
Is that your policy? Sorry bub, even abstaining is a political stance.

Really disappointed in my Congress woman, Sarah Elfreth. I wrote her an email and she responded with basically “that’s what they told me to do!”
Gotta share a screenshot of that email if it actually gives any detail, basically confirming the system rigging and complacency from members of said system, send it to some independent journalist or something.
The idea that our government is a representative democracy is a farce. The machine has too much inertia, too much power and money

Still "both sides are not the same"? Even if Democrats have slight majority in both or either houses, they still dilute policies to appease the fascists from stonewalling. Meanwhile, the fascists legislate every unspeakable evil policies and Democrats don't even try to resist as opposition.
Well yes but they only betray everything we stand for because we didn't fall in line and back them hard enough. If we'd just licked their boots better, they would gave broken from all their previous behavior!
So them viciously betraying you to the fascists is your fault actually.
Almost 400 million Americans still think walking will fix this.
Oh yeah, and all of these 128 Democrats will be very disappointed about something evil that the chertondoes later and "wish they would have voted differently"
Fuck all of them
Democrat and republican parties are the same party.
Only because we didn't vote fot them enough! Guys, if we had voted for them they would have fixed all this instead if being like half the problem!
Yep, 2 wings, 1 bird.
there are a ratchet.
one slides smoothly towards fascism, the other one blocks and reform to fix the slide to fascism.

Sounds like some independents are about to be entering office. The people need to stick it to these paid traitors. They get paid a fuckton more than you with your tax dollars and then take money from special interest groups on top of that to fuck you over some more. Are you getting your money's worth America? Get these assholes out of office and put in some actual difference makers. The founding fathers are rolling in their graves watching what the country has become. Shame on all of you. Kick these losers to the curb.
Rep Paul Tonko is one of the NY reps that voted no to impeach. I work 2 blocks from his office and plan to spend my lunch hour every day demonstrating in front of his Albany office. I already called his office to bitch. I've got printed letters that say, "Congratulations, you're a fascist collaborator." Going to be stuffing those in envelopes with glitter and putting one in the mail every single day. Give me your best for my protest signs.
Give me your best for my protest signs.
I think "Rep Paul Tonko is a fascist collaborator" works pretty good.

Are they trying to avoid JP Mandel becoming president?
128 democrats are actually Republicans,
America is slowly learning both sides have the same goals.
Only because you didn't vote for them! If you had voted dir them they would have behaved totally differently!!1!
Unlike all the other times you did vote for themand they did this exact same shit. this one's different, don't be such a child. If you don't fall in line and lick the boot of the liberal co-conspirators, it will be entirely your fault when ice shows up to take you to the camps.
Edit: also mine because i snitched on you. But that's actually your fault too; HOA rules say a family living in your attic is not allowed. You need to stop justifying your rule breaking with 'fighting fascism'.
