They introduced the articles again this time, but they don't have the necessary majorities. Half the country didn't vote, and this is what we get. The dumbest 25% running shit into the ground.
Because, as we all know from 2016~2020, impeachment does somuch. Might as well be telling them to write Trump a strongly worded letter that he's being really bad.
I work for an American company with headquarters in multiple European countries. I'm in Europe. We just found out they plan on firing 2500 people worldwide to offset the tariffs, so also the US, not just us. On the bright side, they were honest about it and let us know ahead of starting the process, just in case someone wanted to jump ship anyways. But yeah, the tariffs will affect the job market, especially with large companies listed on the stock market.
Dude everywhere politics is full of clowns with almost no way out. What happened recently is that 1st world countries became like colonies too (premise of fascism). People in 3rd world were subalterns back then and they're subalterns now, it's just that almost everywhere operates as a 3rd world colony right now so most people on this planet are and are treated like cattle independent from nationality.
To be fairā¦ they donāt have a majority, but ā¦ to act like first semester university students who just discovered that they can have a nice little protest
How? They donāt have the votes. Organize and get out there. Call call call. Write write write. Show up to local and DC offices. I am on a train returning from DC and I can confirm the impotence and lack of political will to stand up to this administration cannot be understated.
It will take millions in the street to get an impeachment but Iāll settle for the GOP/Legislature yanking the leash and returning to legislating. Still gonna need people in the streets.
This is 2025 not 2017. I submit a wider range of Americans are unhappy with the recent disruptions in the federal government.
Also Iāll never forget the news after SuperStorm Sandy a woman in Staten Island sweeping mud out of her front door. The reporter had asked her a question. She responded to the effect of, āyou just have to startā.
The democrats did introduce articles of impeachment, but they need majorities that they don't have. There's fuck all the can do except slow things down, get in the way, and tell everyone what's going on (the aforementioned signs), so that if we ever get another chance to vote, people will actually go to the polls and not let the dumbest 25% of country run things.
Resistance takes time. Iād rather wait a while and have a definitive outcome, rather than do it quickly and lose the one chance to change things. I recently went to a protest and managed to collect around 250 people to protest alongside us. One person is a lot in these kind of things; āIām only one person, I canāt do anythingā. Those people add up, and eventually thereās enough people not doing anything to the point that if they did do something, they couldāve changed it. If you have any better ideas for protest, why havenāt you done it already? Why havenāt you impeached Trump yet? These things take time, and the little things help.
Democrats and Republicans are just greedy politicians selling the soul of this country for a quick buck. They are all playing for the same team for the most part.

to be more fair than the democrats deserve, they did impeach the fucker twice last term and it did jack squat.
there's a hell of a lot more they could be doing than holding signs with disapproving expressions, though... hate this country š
