    Remember gang, articles require conservatives to flip in the house and senate, and his poll numbers are still high with the Republican bases of those house and senate folks.

    This will make noise, which is nice, but it’s not going anywhere.

      Remember gang, do it anyway. There’s nothing better to vote on, because the majority controls the votes anyway. Get every single nay vote to forever be a black mark against these fucks, and yes, do it again when it fails.

      Keep doing it anyway. Every single time they commit a crime, fight to get every last Republican congressmen on the record supporting every last crime this administration ever committed. At the very least so that history remembers: this was never just one man.

      Assuming all democrats in the House vote to impeach, it will take 4 republicans joining them to reach the 50% threshold to succeed. That could honestly be doable. The Senate is another story. It would take 20 republicans to vote with all the democrats and independents to reach the 67% needed to convict. Not impossible, but a profoundly uphill battle.

      Call your reps, protest, make noise. As long as the republicans think that Trump’s hordes will keep them in office for supporting him, they won’t cave. If we can convince them that the MAGA loons will not be enough to get them reelected and keep their cushy jobs, they’ll flip. They are not loyal to Trump, they are afraid of him.

        The problem is, in what way would all the senators be threatened if they don’t vote against?

        Because I guarantee that trump’s administration has dirt on every single one of them.

      I like it a whole lot more than the Dems standing around with their thumbs up their asses. It probably won’t go anywhere, but at least make some fucking noise.

          It’s possible for it to make it through the house, but the Senate definitely won’t remove him.
