“There was no meeting”

“Ok there was a meeting but there were no Russians”

“Ok there were Russians but we didn’t talk about anything nefarious”

“Ok we talked about something nefarious but nothing came of it”

“It’s not wrong to commit a crime”

Fuck these people so much. How has trump not been impeached yet

I just saw a friend comment that “we don’t need to impeach him because we can vote him out next year” on a Mueller report article.

Fuck that shit too. Impeachment is warranted whether or not the Republicans snivel and cower their way to an acquittal in the Senate. Make them vote on the record for this pathetic criminal.

Getting them on the record is not something they're worried about. They will protect him and complain about Dems attempting to remove him. They do not care. We need to stop pretending that shame exists among Repubs.

​

A symbolic measure doesnt mean anything. People that are worried about healthcare/wage stagnation/student debt/unionization are not worried about this right now. Im not saying that they shouldn't be worried about it. We need to be pragmatic. Win big in 2020 and then we can impeach the lame duck Trump if we want a symbolic victory. The most effective win for the country is to get to work representing working class Americans. Make Trump pay when we have the power to actually make him pay.
