    Is this just a thing we’re going to do, now? Have a performative impeachment effort every time there’s a blue president, just so Trump doesn’t have to have his feelings hurt?

      It’s not just about soothing Trump’s feelings. By repeatedly doing this they are trying to dilute the credibility of Trump’s impeachments. It’s their way of saying “See anyone can impeach a president! So Trump’s impeachments don’t mean anything!”

      • I mean if the traitorous shitpile of a person becomes president again he will have to have an impeachment filed against him on day one by his own admission, so they have to dilute it

      When Nixon faced impeachment, it eventually led to the creation of Fox News. Seems logical that the GOP would take Trump’s two impeachments and multiple felonies to create something even more fucked up, like the death of our democracy.

      The Republicans who fear that it will hurt their chances in the general election are not the same people who are pushing for impeachment.

        No shit, so if they’re so a-scrred about what their super-lunatics are doing, they could publicly state their position on the matter now, that they would not vote to impeach.

    Far-right House members, like Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), Andy Biggs (R-AZ) or Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) remain hard pressed to oust the president, despite the fact his term is almost over.

    Oh, Margie, NO! You want to impeach a man because your orange shitball got impeached and you think this is somehow going to be payback. But your colleagues all know that this is a stupid move, by your stupid ass, and you’re too stupid to see it. Calm down, Margie! You won’t be able to show dick pics in congress if you get yourself voted out.

    Not that your position is at risk; the stupid people in your district aren’t at risk of having a thought. You’ll be fine, Margie.
