(46,704 posts)The Senate takes it the next step.
I think we need to throw everything, including the kitchen sink, in order to bring awareness to just how down the rabbit hole the Republicans are when it comes to integrity and honesty.

(25,586 posts)Why would we impeach when the Senate isnt ours? Waste of political energy and capital.

(823 posts)but without senate it would mean nothing and would give rethugs ammo for 2020. Lets try governing instead, with investigations where warranted

(44,973 posts)Yea, right.

(9,696 posts)Priorities are passing good legislation, starting investigations.
I think ignoring trumpft is better than impeaching him...and that will drive him crazy more plus will steal his victim mojo.

(42,311 posts)Investigations, yes. Passing bills to help people (even tho they'll get stopped in the Senate).
Raven123
(4,832 posts)Pass thoughtful, necessary legislation that speaks to the needs and issues that got them elected. Force the GOP to vote and if the legislation fails pummel them in 2020.
Where appropriate investigate Trump but do not allow that to overshadow the next 2 years. Prove Dems have answers

(22,236 posts)because even if we had a majority in the Senate, the Senate STILL would not be able to convict because it takes 2/3 of the Senate to do so.
If we take the House and we don't impeach that crooked fuck, then we're letting him off scott free. No asterisk next to his name. I can't believe how so many people around here are scared to death to impeach him just because they know he won't be convicted by the Senate. Waste of time my ass. Trump deserves to be impeached, and right now he's shitting bricks just thinking about what it would do to his ego.

(2,897 posts)The Mueller report needs to be damning. The trial has to be damning. The Republican Senators that vote to keep him have to be taking a very very costly vote. Otherwise, there is no point.

(3,032 posts)Impeachment will come of that.

(972 posts)Republicans are probably going to have an even stronger grip on the Senate after this is done. No way in the world we get 67 votes and the American people elected Democrats to governor not for political theater.
JonLP24
(29,322 posts)Want Trump impeached.
Autumn
(45,072 posts)how about doing something that benefits the people. Take care of issues like health care and the environment, we don't need years more of political one upmanship while this country falls farther and farther behind.

(13,783 posts)Let's try to get some good legislation done that might pass the senate. And OVERSEE the whitehouse.
Retrograde
(10,136 posts)Sure, there are grounds for impeachment, and the House can push it through, but McConnell still controls the Senate, and this spawn of Satan would push for acquittal no matter how valid the grounds.
GulfCoast66
(11,949 posts)Pass legislation that Americans support and watch republicans kill them.
Oh, and the investigations. Big time.
workinclasszero
(28,270 posts)We need to do things that benefit our voters so they have real good reasons to vote Democratic.
I dont think impeaching that dirty POS will accomplish that goal especially since we cannot convict him in the Senate
Joe941
(2,848 posts)We need to be bold!
JonLP24
(29,322 posts)40% of overall voters do. Listen to those that gave you victories.
JI7
(89,249 posts)Senate we will not get a conviction.
those things matter.
JonLP24
(29,322 posts)And so do Democrats. I support impeachment.
JI7
(89,249 posts)they wont vote to convict even if there was video or they saw trump shoot, rape, kill etc someone in person.
JonLP24
(29,322 posts)There is way more evidence against Trump to do the right thing. You don't have to support impeachment but that is something I will never give up on.
