Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

I'm not saying chill out about the attack, I'm saying chill out about the impeachment vote. It was a failure from the start. Democrats aren't fascist for voting against it. The only real effect of voting against it is that it saved us two months of republican's soundbites about how "trump derangement syndrome is so bad it's making them want to take away the ability to defend America" and shit like that.
Do you really base your values on what you fear that a Nazi might say about you?
No, where the fuck could you have possibly gotten that?
Side question: do you think that the Nazis are ever going to NOT accuse the humans of having "trump derangement syndrome"?
From your post which literally says you're afraid of what Nazis might say about you if impeachment proceedings begin.
I absolutely did not say that. JFC...
I dont know how else to read "the only real effect is...etc"
They're gonna fucking do that anyway
And now they are using that free time to legislate the "big beautiful bill" and further Project 2025.
Republicans pushed forward a bullshit impeachment for Biden because he wasn't brutal enough to immigrants. Impeaching trump for actual impeachable conduct should be the norm, even if it fails every time. We need these people on record saying they support all this unitary executive shit, because we can throw it in their faces when they bitch about the next Dem president expanding healthcare, and it eats up time that Congress would spend furthering the far-right agenda.
They should have impeached members of the president's shitty cabinet if they wanted to eat up time! Even if they got one, they would be on the road to taking this shit apart.
