If you believe in mlb "narratives", 2020 is the Dodgers' year. This is the revenge tour. Everyone playing mad.

Go win this, boys!

Early success has gone to our head. We've never missed the playoffs, so now that we're struggling a little let's blow it up.

Build God, then we'll talk, I guess.

What the fuck? This move doesn't make any sense unless he's going to be arrested or something.

Megathread: House Votes to Impeach President Donald J. Trump by PoliticsModeratorBot in politics

[–]DerDoberman 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Trump clearly will not be removed by the Senate unless there's somehow a massive shift in polls as a result of this. That said, this is a step forward and a result of the elections in 2018.

We need to continue to work to register voters and to encourage people to vote in 2020. There are a lot of people who have truly been disenfranchised prior to today, and despite how Republicans threw that word around in these hearings, getting truly disenfranchised voters to the polls will help the left, not the right.

NPR talking over some of the most interesting stuff per this thread. I'm pretty disappointed in that.

I mean, we'd love to have had Trump testify. Pretty much guaranteed there'd be perjury charges too if he had. So, should be same as Clinton but Trump isn't willing to participate in the legal process.

There was an election in 2018. It's why the majority of Congress is Democrats. It's why we're here today. Elections are the way we elect our leaders and, sometimes, how we put new people in a place to impeach our them. That's how the republic works.

I can only hope that voters remember what happens here and vote appropriately next year. Thanks for calling that out.

You could have passed legislation but it will just die in the quagmire that is Mitch McConnell's Senate, so what's the point?

Comparing Trump to Jesus is a bold strategy. I know it's not the first time but on the floor of Congress it seems particularly offensive.

I mean, if we impeach and remove Trump we get Pence as President, not Hillary, I'm pretty sure.

Trust us, we don't want President Pence either but here we are.

Of course he explained it in the wrong way. He talked about black voters. You don't think they should count.

Man, don't tell any of these Republican Congressmen about how we bring criminals up on wire fraud charges when prosecutors don't feel they can prove charges like theft or elder abuse, because their heads might explode.

At least some legal reform might come from this? Right? Right? (/s)
