I would not even be a little bit surprised if the end result is President Pence and Justice Amy Cohen Barrett.

I agree that this seems stupid. There is simply no way that Trump gets convicted in the Senate. I don't know if this is an attempt to force more testimony under oath that Dems hope they can use against him in the election, or just a misguided attempt to rile up the base. I have pretty much no faith in the House of Representatives at all (regardless of who is in charge) to hold themselves back from doing something ridiculous. That chamber has been completely off the rails for over a decade now.

Also - in the scheme of what is going on right now, the Clinton scandal seems downright quaint.

I was kind of like that but I didn’t vote for either. Hillary and Trump were fucktard choices last time, and only two of the Democrats aren’t fucktards (IMO) this time, and they aren’t going to be the nominee. So.... it looks like Travis Steele will become my third XU coach I vote for President!

The fact that a teenager is the voice of climate change doomsdayers pretty much says it all.

Ultimately it's really a win-win to the House Dems. If he gets convicted in the Senate, great. If he doesn't because purple state senators voted not to, that's great to them too.

Imagine thinking this is good for house dems lol

Anyway...

The UN releases another landmark report!! Even though they release these all the time and they have been wrong with every single prediction this is still treated with legitimacy and traumatizing our kids!! Don’t you just love it?

The IPCC who is behind this research has also been caught in the past fabricating and fudging their own data and reports. It’s all a joke. These people should be in jail

we have joe biden on video admitting to committing crimes while in office and the dems want to impeach trump for allegedly asking about it. once again, it's all a joke.

It takes 67 to remove. They might let the purple-staters vote to remove. Like Manchin getting the free pass to vote to confirm Kavanaugh.

I meant it seems great to them.

My only opinion on this is that it will seem like just another day come election time.
