Doesn’t matter that it’s real. If Dear Leader says it, best squak like his version is real. Or else the Republican voters will call that person a RINO and stay home.
What a nice pickle the Republicans have placed themselves in. Too bad it’ll take the rest of us down with them.
I’m no constitutional expert, but it’s my understanding that there’s no limit on the number of times a president (or other official) can be impeached by the House (and tried by the Senate). In theory, anyway.
As a practical, political matter, it seems unlikely Trump will be impeached again this year…unless Republicans somehow take the lead.
I agree that as a political matter, it seems strange to start impeachment again at this point. This has always been an urgent situation, but now even more people can see it. Communicating that Democrats take Russia seriously via impeachment might actually be good politics, not to mention just the right thing to do.
“Congressional Republicans would be committing suicide to take the president’s line on this.” This is how badly this country is fractured – I read that sentence and think: “Fine by me”. Except I want it to be real suicide…that’s how much I hate these dishonest assholes.
Congressional Republicans would be committing suicide to take the president’s line on this. Congressional Republicans would be committing suicide to go against Trump. What’s a poor whore of a politician whose sold his soul to the devil to do? Poor little dears.
With this stupid asshole there is no bottom. The press secretary called him the most informed person in the world regarding threats to Americans. Can you imagine being able to say that with a straight face. She’s another Holy Roller that has no qualms about lying. I’d like to ship all of these traitors over to Afghanistan.
The Democrats need to hammer on this every second of every minute every day. We should start calling him Bounty Boy.

What are the options for another impeachment?

Every day I pray for a Budd Dwyer re-enactment.

The Republicans won’t do shit. They won’t. I don’t even know if they CAN.
So they’ll ignore it.
Why can’t they take a voice vote on sanctions?
