      They’re all complicit

      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”.

          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.

              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.

              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.

                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?
