Senate Gabe

I don't think they will either but what I suspect they are going to do is try to push this off a bit and hope the temperature cools down while DHS starts pledging to reduce the deployments.

It's not. They fast tracked all of Trump's cabinet nomination (including Kristi Noem's). The top party officials planned Trump's inauguration.

The dirty secret of the United States Senate is it runs on unanimous consent. So things can't get done without all of them agreeing.

She literally JUST signed onto the Noem impeachment after weeks of being non-committal.

Putting AOC on the far left is hilarious.

I can't say I am shocked by this betrayal of the public interest but it continues to be alarming just how deep the corruption is in Washington.

These people are not the opposition: they are fascist enablers.

This was clearly planned in advance. It explains why Indivisible despite pressure refused to say "Abolish ICE" and kept praising Chris Murphy.

They wanted to sink the existing bill so they can pass their incremental nonsense.

Brilliant plan. No notes. This is how you politic.

The setup currently seems like the Dems are going to force that the current bill is split so just the Department of Homeland Security part is isolated, destroying their leverage.

Then they are going to negotiate with the weak reforms that Chris Murphy has already written up as the starting point.

Looks like my former boss is helping lead the push to keep funding ICE.

They absolutely think this. They are swimming in a ridiculous soup of nonsense. Grass is always greener.

They should impeach him too?

Trump says Democrats are 'meaner' than Republicans, warns of impeachment if GOP loses midterms Trump warned Republicans that Democrats will pursue impeachment if they win midterm elections, calling their policies "horrendous" during GOP retreat.

People just have a tendency to overemphasize the coherence of the Republican party and how strong it is.

Remember that the Republicans think the same exact nonsense in reverse.

This is not to excuse Democrats. They are complicit fascist enablers that are refusing to act to fix the problems in front of them. Criminal behavior.

The only reason they took any of these positions was because people yelled at them and they agreed kicking and screaming.

For all the talk about how much harder Republicans fight, it is not true on a lot of domains.

The longest shutdown in history was a Democratic effort with the support of its leadership. The efforts to impeach Mayorkas were nothing like what is happening with Noem.

It should tell you that his support in the Republican caucus is not nearly what people on here often proclaim it is.

Impeach him every day just to make him stroke out, ffs.

These articles right here

For any elected official who needs to hear this, I impart a lesson learned from the NFL:

When the other team is tired and on the back foot, you don’t call a timeout so they can catch their breath. You grind their fucking face into the dirt until the final whistle blows and you’ve won the game.

Yeah. Learning about how it all worked was great but that was not a healthy workplace. These people are such losers.

For those specific articles I'm sure Thanedar hasn't gone out of his way to ask for cosponsors.

For drafting their own I am sure a chunk of them imagine the process is super complex and difficult. Their staff does too. Then there is the corruption/stupidity/groupthink problem. Most are not leaders.

Lol. My rep (Hoyle) finally signed onto the Noem impeachment. I didn't say thanks, I just "good. Now do more." That's all we should be saying to these people when they get something right. They get no treats until the entire regime is out of office.

"Oh how do I show my constituents I am showing them I am doing something about this impeachment thing they keep demanding"

[Stares at the answer on Congress.gov ]

"Wow I am drawing a blank here."

It is hilarious that Rep. Thanedar's impeachment articles for Trump have been one of the top three most viewed pieces of legislation in the entire Congress and they only have a single cosponsor.

These people are such complicit morons.

Correct.

yeah if you have feds in you group chat, the feds know what you're saying in your group chat. that said, if you're going to use any app to communicate with a lot of strangers, might as well be the one that's encrypted over one the feds have other means of eavesdropping on

If you already called them and annoyed them, just write a letter to the editor for your local newspaper calling them out for not impeaching.

You can do this multiple times if you frame it in different ways based on current events. They always see that stuff if you mention them by name.

I used to use the example of what I wanted from someone like Marjorie Taylor Greene but she's now had a fallout with Trump that (wait for it) started over him pressuring over impeachment.

Basically if they make an angry speech about the woke left and don't do anything further, that's great.

Most offices will ignore people from outside their district. No matter who your rep is though, you can pressure them.

Even if they are hard MAGA, constituents revolting will soften their support for his agenda behind the scenes.

That works fine with some conditions. They can easily figure it out if they desire to do so.
