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!

Your egocentric interpretation prevents you from understanding basic sentences because you do not have the ability to stop putting words in other people’s mouths.
If it’s not my responsibility to write a sentence down on your level. Perhaps toss it into an LLM.
You still haven’t said how another impeachment would change anything.
My original comment was not a call to impeach him, it was questioning why this term—after this entire shit show—have no impeachment efforts been made, when previous presidents have been impeached for far less.
I’ll have a conversation about that, but not about “why bother?” Because that’s a different conversation and one I’m not interested in.
Because republicans control the house. And the media is currently coddling trump. Unless some rogue republicans get onboard, there’s really no point in attempting to impeach him again. Until Dems can gain a majority.
Yes, but that never stopped previous presidents from being impeachment attempts.
Yeah, but like I just said. There’s no point in even doing it without a majority. All 3 past impeached presidents had a majority in Congress favoring the opposition party.
Every minority party impeachment attempt has failed, quickly. Just like MTG on Biden’s 1st week as president, it went nowhere and was performative. Dems simply DONT HAVE THE VOTES TO IMPEACH TRUMP!
You don’t have to have the votes to try. The point is the statement.
I think the topic might be flying above most people’s heads.
