This is a step in the right direction for sure. But he has to be stripped of the presidency not just impeached. He was impeached twice in his first term and was still president the entire time.
Don’t like the ones we have? Vote in new ones. But y’all better vote and y’all better uplift your candidates if you want other voters to vote for your candidate too. The perpetual Democrat flowchart logic has become irritating to the extreme. Let’s do better.
It’s just pro forma anyway. They don’t have the votes.
Edit: I’m sorry for this comment, but my cynicism is utter, at this point.

Cool, wake me up when something actually comes to fruition. I have zero faith anyone of our corrupt, spineless, “leaders” will actually do anything.

I remember the first time he was impeached. It was as meaningless then as it will be now.

If the banana republicans were smart, and wanted to avoid being stuck at a poorly attended after party as Trump drives people away from their party that’s gone off the rails, they’d join in on kicking Trump out now.
But they’re not that smart, so let’s wait for the mid-terms and the Democrats can send the cops in to break up Trump’s mess of a party.

Impeachment honestly doesn’t even matter at this point. Yeah, symbolic. But that hasn’t worked in the past and it won’t work now.

Well, If I cant get “Schumer pulling a gun on the floor” ill settle for impeachment and life long prison sentencing.

If Dems don’t do something it’s bad. If they do something it’s bad. (And won’t matter anyway so it’s purely meaningless and performative.) And if they don’t do something they have no control over, like recalling Congress into session, it’s the worst.

Why don’t we do something by actually electing Democrats to office so that they can then actually do something? This is the better question.

“Call for 25th amendment” is the issue, Americans are so fucking timid when it comes to standing up to power. Calling for something is pathetic.

We should be seeing them 24/7 on the news channels taking about this. I shouldn’t have to find out about it on a Reddit page.

And Vance too. He’s #2. 💩

They need to shut up about the 25th, its a non-starter, its not gonna happen. They need to hold a blind vote and impeach him.
They should be looking to remove rhe entire Administration, but corp Dems can barely hold Fatty accountable, nevermind the rest of the jackels.

Once they’ve actually pulled it off I’ll be impressed then, not before.

it only took between 15 and 16 months of the president constantly doing impeachable offenses.

In related news, Republicans control both the house and senate, so we’re still fucked.

The whole cabinet needs to be removed. So far everyone that’s been fired has been replaced with someone just as incompetent. This whole maga fiasco needs to stop. Now.

Democrats have no power.
Too many idiot voters either voted for this or decided to stay home and not vote against it.
So people need to stop whining about Democrats. They aren’t perfect. Some of them are Israel First or maybe they care more about their donors than their constituents. But at the end of the day, the vast majority of Dems are so much better than Republicans and MAGA.
Maybe if y’all would vote for them, so they could have some real power you would see how much better shit would be.
thefastslow on
Full disclosure: voted straight dem ticket in 2016, 2020, and 2024.
Man I don’t think Chuck “fight for aid to Israel” Schumer is up to the task. He and the other pro-Israel dems only oppose the war because of the botched execution and not because of the lack of immediate threats from the Iranian regime.
That obviously doesn’t absolve people for not voting in 2024, but I don’t blame them for not being thrilled about Kamala continuing to support Israel while they bombed Gaza.
Ladydi-bds on
While I applaud their effort, wasn’t he impeached 3xs last time in office where didn’t go anywhere?
pontiacfirebird92 on
I feel like calling for the 25th Amendment is making a big effort to do something they know will fail. The 25th really seems like it was written for situations where the President is in a coma or brain dead or something, which Trump clearly isn’t.
Impeachment is probably easier and since that’s absolutely impossible then we’re just fucking stuck with Trump, his asshole cabinet, and his army of bootlickers and ring kissers.
Wandering_Savage on
Don’t pretend that it didn’t take Trump threatening to wipe out an entire civilization for the Democrats to finally grow a backbone and put in some effort, instead of sitting around and making money on insider trading like their republican friends. And they are all friends behind the scenes.
Don’t get me wrong, I obviously prefer a Democrat to most Republicans, but they stand for little and show it for the amount of effort they put in. Some of the progressives are better and actually believe what they talk about and are willing to speak out and fight for it, but the Establishment Dems will do the same thing they did to Bernie and railroad him to put their own candidate that no one wants. Remember that, we likely wouldn’t have had a first term Trump presidency if they would have put their full backing behind Bernie instead of shoving Hilary down our throats.

What do they expect to happen, here?
“So they impeached the president, AGAIN, and he proceeded to continue to destroy the United States, AGAIN.”
Nothing is going to change unless they *remove him from office.*

They can’t really do much…HOWEVER they really need to get better at utilizing the media in all its forms. They are pathetically bad at it, and their messaging is poor. Despite that being a fucking layup with this mess. The DNC needs to stop being the HR/focus group party and just start blasting out messaging.

Judging by the reaction of Republicans lately, I have a tiny shred of hope that some may fall out of line with their emperor, grow a backbone, and do the right thing. Just a tiny, bit of hope.

I’m not a political expert. My understanding is that 2/3 of our senate could impeach, convict and remove this administration then add SCOTUS for good measure.
However, most of our elected representatives do not serve we the people. We pay these people to hold us hostage so they can enrich themselves and their donors. Until Congress represents the wishes of the people, our democracy is dead.

This has no legs, are they even discussing a strategy when they do this? He’s evaded this multiple times because it wasn’t strong enough; they need to make sure the case is ironclad before doing it, not get swept up in feelings. You won’t get another chance and credibility is on the line.

The “why don’t democrats do something” posts are largely done by bots and troll farms designed to discourage people from voting for democrats. There is no reason to blame the party that does not hold the house, senate, White House, or Supreme Court. TF are they supposed to do? They can go out and sway public opinion, but there is hardly a need when the war is THIS unpopular.

[Link](https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/trump-impeachment-articles-25-amendment-b2953836.html#) for the curious. I’m getting sick of this anti-liberal snark. As unpopular as they are, despite being voted out of power, Democrats are still trying to stop Trump from destroying our country and world.
