Yep…and it didn’t do much, because “impeach” does NOT mean “remove from presidency”. It can lead to that, but it’s like saying being written up at work is the same as being fired.
Because impeaching is step one in removing. Procedure matters in these things. The one President who was almost convicted (Nixon) left when it became clear that public opinion of him was going to force the Senate’s hand to convict him. It’s all political, but it’s the only legal mechanism that exists.
Like the 60+ separate votes/bills to remove the ACA when Republicans didn’t have the support and here we are a few years later with them running the entire government.
What?
79 voted for it, if you don’t think that’s fucking huge, you don’t understand how bad it’s been
Shit is improving, quickly even.
But like ~20% of the House openly and publicly going against Israel? Thats significant and the trend looks set to continue.
And I shouldn’t have to say this…
But ~80% is less than 100%, so no, it’s not “all”.
Have you considered that maybe “all” was referring to “all that voted against it” ?
Have you considered that my comment might have been intended to be the entire lyrics to 80s Belgium techno anthem Pump up the Jams?
Sometimes we have to take words at face value.
But that would change the entirety of what you wrote. Not the interpretation of a single word that is the same in both instances.
Like, obviously it’s not 100% of people in gov. But seriously, it’s the whole fucking thing. Rotten to the core.
This was not one of those times however. Mearly silly pentandtry.

On what planet?
Didn’t the house already impeach him twice?

Right so why bother impeaching him anymore. It makes the legislative branch look like a bunch of idiots.

I really don’t think Trump cares about public opinion.
The government doesn’t work that way anymore. We’re not gonna Woodward and Bernstein our way out of this.
Also: since when does Trump care what’s legal?
They are a bunch of idiot.
