I would have been sorely disappointed if that hadn’t. What took them sooooo long!?!?!

“Why it matters?”

It does not. Not one blessed bit.

Impeachment was meant to be a deterrent to bad behavior of executive officers (up to and including the President) and judges. Now, it’s become a watered-down, diminished thing almost as throw-away as a censure.

America would do well to bring back the seriousness of impeachment by doing away with the frivolousness in which it is threatened and hurled at political opponents, simply because the other side does not like them. The only reason they are brazen enough to do this is because there is no penalty if the gambit fails.

Therefore, I would propose this: A new rule, that if any member of the House brings articles of impeachment, and those articles are not actually passed (i.e., tabled or voted down), then that member of congress is automatically and immediately removed and will be ineligible to serve in the future.

If the articles are passed, moves to the Senate, and are then voted down, then the member of the House who brings the articles will be eligible to continue to serve, but is no longer allowed to bring articles of impeachment against any individual in the future.

The long and short being, if you’re going to submit articles of impeachment? You better make darned sure you have an actual grievance that both sides of the aisle will get behind. Otherwise, you’d best leave partisanship at the door and not try to use impeachment as a weapon instead of its intended purpose.

Thanedar owes over $800,000 for his last campaign which he is 100% liable for. So he needs to get attention so he can raise money for his next campaign. Loser...

>>They are most likely to introduce a motion to table the resolution, which would effectively kill it.

Why table it? Make the Rats vote.

"Why It Matters

Thanedar introduced the articles of impeachment, which accuse Trump of offenses including obstruction of justice, bribery and corruption, and tyrannical overreach, last month.

However, few Democrats have voiced support for impeaching Trump since he returned to office in January since measures are unlikely to go anywhere with Republicans in control of both the House and Senate. Trump was impeached twice during his first term in office, but was acquitted by the Senate in both cases."




Not a single part of that explains why it matters. In fact, I would say it actually explains why it doesn't matter at all.

The DNC seems intent on ensuring they will never hold office again within the next several decades...

Johnson should allow it to go forward to let the rodents remind America what they are.
They have moved into a dangerous end stage of TDS Ameriphobia where they hate us enough to start killing people.

Just like impeachment proceedings against Biden were launched.

Shri Thanedar

Been seeing many foreign sounding names involved in politics lately, it is a bit unsettling. Where do their allegiances lie?

They better. If voters don’t give trump continued congress beginning January 2027, it’s going to be miserable for the country. Yes some here think republicans don’t do enough. But democrats will.
