Blue AIPAC puppets just doing AIPAC things.
This vote is doa in the senate because there are not enough republicans to flip. So I don't understand why everyone is so bent up about this? Wait until January when we have a new congress. You guys either don't care about this enough to know how our government works. It's baffling.
I disagree that this is doa in the senate, but that's beside the point. The main point of this (and many other failing proposals) is messaging.
With this, Jeffries communicated that even after the midterms, he doesn't care about this. You are right that in January the democrats will have full control and will be able to impeach if they want, but this signals they likely will not.
If it had passed to the senate, it would have forced republican senators to reaffirm their loyalty to trump by voting no. Since the midterms, many of them have discovered they are in a swing state all of a sudden. Even if none of them break ranks, that is valuable ammunition for the next election cycle. So in effect, Jeffries helped shield a bunch of republican senators from having to make a painful vote.
So make the senate vote. You speak like you can see the future after Texas turned blue lol. Then if the senate blocks it, vote again after Jan and actually get it through. Show the people the exact reason why showing up to vote was so important. That now we have reps who will actually hold criminals accountable.
Why would Israel-funded politicians want to impeach the guy who killed Iranians?
This vote is doa in the senate. What exactly is it accomplishing? We have to wait until jan to unseat current republicans
Comment above explains it. Forces republicans in swing states to show their colors.
I'll drag him for being a corpo stooge. Stop being a sell-out, jeff!
He's never going to stop. He made it this far being one.
As few days as our Congress is in session, I don't think it is too much to ask our Representatives to be present in or around the Capitol during business hours unless it is a life or death emergency. My employer wouldn't keep me around if I was slacking off whenever I felt like it.
We should assume it is deliberate. There will be a lot of "rotating villains", "parliamentarians" and "bipartisanship" in the coming congress. Any excuse to not get anything good passed.
All of it is bullshit. Many democrats want to protect the status quo in spite of the popular mandate for change.
Don't give them the benefit of the doubt.
Fucking Hydra bullshit. Hate it.
We need to expose and get rid of all of them.
AIPAC Shakur didn't fight to impeach the guy who attacked Iran?
Can't imagine why.
I know it's a good pun, but we should really stop perverting the name of one of the most influential black political activists to make fun of this assclown.
Jeffries and schumer need to go yesterMANYYEARSAGO, but I'm always cautious of Massie... Seemingly on the right side of history on one thing with the "courage" to call a pedophile a pedophile (in this one case at least) but he still has a lot of fucked up standard nutjob conservative ideas unfortunately.
Is anyone familiar enough with procedure here, did he need to call this when he did? Is there precedent for maybe working with dem leaders on timing, directly or through back channels, if he truly wanted this to pass? I don't know enough about the other dems that missed here, any of them those "blue dog" dipshits?
Because otherwise, Massie wants to be the guy seen as stirring shit up, but without ever actually toppling the regime? It's effective at taking wind out of the sails and giving the illusion that hegseth has support to folks paying half attention.
In any event, tie Haley Stevens to Nancy pelosi and throw them in the middle of the ocean. And let their only rescue support be chuck schumer as navigator on a coast guard ship piloted by Hakeem jefferies, 400 miles away.
Massie hates Trump. He's Republican and I vehemently disagree with him on many issues, but he's not MAGA. Massie is the kind of politician I can disagree with without hating.
But there was also an opportunity for the Republicans here. If the impeachment had gone through and the Senate fast-tracked the trial and voted to remove him, the GOP Senators could have done some real damage control for their brand while punishing Trump for what he did to them AND getting to confirm the next SecDef.
Not present: Nancy Pelosi (Calif.)
Made me laugh. Of course she's on the list.

Get ready for another year of protesting even with dems in Congress.
Dems in Congress only means there’s a chance people will listen as opposed to before when there was no chance.
We are NOT out of the woods yet.
