If only that would do something. It's good he's at least going through the motions, but I'm doubtful this will do anything more than generate headlines. Then again maybe a miracle will occur and Trump will have pissed off enough Republicans to make this actually stick.

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
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
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!

Republicans pay lip service to morality, but they will always, always fall in lockstep behind the party line. This won't pass.
Even if many individual GOP members of the house morally know it is the right thing to do, they will pragmatically choose to condemn the action instead because they are A) bribed B) blackmailed and C) threatened with violence D) all of the above.
Oh, it’ll do something… Just not enough.
headlines meant to distract while trump continues to support war and genocide.
nothing will or can change.

Despair asserts omniscience, and eventually fulfills itself. Don't fall victim to it; that's what the fascist playbook requires.
sigh. true. thank you.
I appreciate you. I myself struggle with that so often nowadays, exhausted with the world and just wanting to be cynical. But the other commenter is right, that just furthers the fascists’ fuckery, and it’s important that we remain positive and don’t give in to despair
High five, dude. Hope is an act of defiance. Take care of yourself today.
Today me, tomorrow you. Take care of yourself, friend.
You're doing your failing part very well.
get help
how? our leaders suck. our gov supports genocide and war. our corporations own every bit of logistics and governance they can, more and more each day.
i’m just waiting to sleep and then wake and then repeat while being told my extraordinary performance meets expectations and then eventually I’ll die.
The article of impeachment failed miserably. So many Democrats voted Nay. It was a complete waste of time.
They're co-conspirators
Put him in a bigger peach this time, so he won't escape
So he can make friends with the weirdly sexy anthromorphosized spider?
Nope.
is it that she's sexy and that's weird or is the way she's sexy weird because those are different things
It's okay if this fails. It's okay if Republicans block this. The true crime is not trying constantly to impeach him ... besides, it's not like Dems are doing anything else.
This Green AI must be pretty advanced!
It's no Weird AI but still
Sigh. Nothing will change.
Yeah, but what happens if not? Do we get the VEEP as the leader of the 'free world'?
Oh NO! The DNC leadership is about to put their FULL MIGHT AGAINST his Reelection Campaign!
Thanks. Yeah, we've already met. Could y'all do something with them for once, though?
