If the democrats are too craven to impeach they aren't going to keep the left. There's no constituency for that poo poo, only people trying to hold the line, that doesn't motivate anyone. Hold to some loving principals. Also law is just "the algorithm" for humanities types.

I really hope we get to some mattering now. Who cares if the Turtlefuck will block it, that’s the whole point: make him show his (extremely obvious) hand, so not even the pundits can miss it.

Yeah, as trite as it is to phrase this way, I'd rather have a list of things we tried that failed (for one reason or another) than a list of things we should have tried. The Democratic Party needs to die and be reborn and if that can be done by infiltrating the body and replacing the spirit cool, but one way or another.

If impeachment does happen at last today it'll be pretty funny that what it took to finally push the shittiest dems into action was threats against Diamond Joe. (nah for real though, if Trump's Putin ball-licking and constant loving over of Ukraine is what destroys him, it'll be some pretty tasty irony)

It'll vindicate the #resistance crowd. It was the Russians all along! That lovely loving narrative that the neolibs play right into. Also I'm not 100% sure on this, but being impeached and removed from office doesn't preclude someone from running again. The comedy option is if this runs past the primaries and a few of those states that removed anyone but Trump from said primaries, Pence runs and the vote is split between votes for Trump and write-ins for Pence.

House Oversight committee: crimes, crimes- Other dems: crimes, CRIMES AOC and the rest of dems: CRIMES, CRIMES, CRIMES! ... Pelosi: OK, maybe there were some crimes. Edit: ^^ Calling Ukrainians russians is a good way to get your leg broken.

Ice Phisherman posted:It'll vindicate the #resistance crowd. As part of the impeachment process, the official can additionally be barred from office when found guilty by the Senate. Should have known better than to gently caress with the great Centrist Hope, Joe Biden though. Crimes, ethics, and decorum are one thing, but upsetting the apple cart of safe power grabbing and now Pelosi and the gang have reason to care.

Strange Poon posted:Watch the Democrats grow a spine then get real bold only to have Trump die on the shitter. I feel like if he died in office it would be a Bad Thing because then the media will be filled with articles like: “We need unity now, let’s stand behind Pence and be civil.” “That is no way to talk about a dead man, leave him and the family alone to grieve.” “Remembering Trump: his most presidential moments.” And then all of the investigations dropped because “it’s rude” or whatever.
