19 isn't the Magic Number
Unless one already stated today that they will turncoat
I just want to say, what a fucking steaming pile of horseshit
The Dems literally are insane at this point
impeachment - i dont know as much about american politics as i could but this seems (from the POV of someone who doesn't really align with the replublicans and would have voted for 1st term obama), to be obviously partisan bullshit from a party more concerned with throwing their weight around than being a party that stands for anything,
That's exactly what it is
its always the fucking same from the left lately. lose argument -> attempt relentless assault on the messenger not the message
Although there's also a power struggle between the legacy corporate Democrats and the socialist idealists in the party
yeah i wouldnt in a thousand years vote for the current setup
Dems have hated Trump since the start, one attempt to destroy him or thoughts around ever month
The tail (i.e. the socialists) has been wagging the dog for the past year or so
There has to be more to this than the 'The Squad' forcing Pelosi into doing something pointless and self-destructive.
there has to be some strategy.
It's a combination of the money backing the Justice Democrats and Dems mistaken idea that social media is real life
Squad is secretly on Trump's side and destroying the Dems 🤔
He certainly uses them as a lightning rod anytime he needs to pressure the Democrats
Isn't their strategy to increase negative partisanship so that they can get their base out for the next election? At least... That's what my lefty friends have said...
so what real chance is there of them forcing him out or does this continue for a whole year while they fail to find a message for voters to buy into?
@actual physical kelp that sounds like a retcon to explain why they're all being morons
No one thinks he will be, world markets haven't budged at all and his approval rating is actually in an upswing
if he was would it prevent him winning 2020?
That's basically the only thing that would prevent him from winning
And if the economy tanks. That's always a possibility
so its constitutionally not possible to stand after impeachment?
That's an interesting question
No president has ever been removed, so I don't have an answer
The way the Constitution is written, there aren't any specific prohibitions against it, I don't think
But practically, he wouldn't gain the support of the party, so he couldn't be a major party nominee
i guess thats the dems only hope of winning then
Quite frankly, I find the idea of Trump being removed from office and then re-elected hilarious.
I hope that happens. And that he wears bullet proof spray tan. The man is a hero frankly. And they cant abide by a hero
It wouldn't be that weird considering what modern politics has become
Dumbasses
Watch her start taking flak from her own supporters for dragging this out to the last minute
Such a cowardly strategy
anyone know the situation around Shokin? I keep hearing "Biden fired Shokin because he *wasn't* investigating Burisma"?
Perhaps Joe Biden should testify to the Senate if that's the case <:thunk:462282216467333140>
