Republicans are just making things up entirely and too many people are humoring them. Impeachment isnt for airing grievances against job performance, its for crimes. This was never legitimate.

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!

Don’t tell that to Cleatus. The inbred GQP target for all this garbage. He won’t understand.
How can you have a Trial when there are no charges? Submitting impeachment documents with the words "we don't like him" is at best a cry for help.
Republicans "vowed to retaliate by slowing business to a crawl on the floor."
If they slow any more their electrons will stop orbiting the nuclei of their atoms and they will dissipate into clouds of subatomic particles.
We can only hope.
That was quick.
It was a sham.
And everyone knew it.
Senate conservatives led by Lee, the chair of the Republican Steering Committee, accused Democrats of “nuking” more than 200 years of Senate precedent by declining to hold a trial and vowed to retaliate by slowing business to a crawl on the floor.
That's fucking rich. Complaining about dismissing tradition and precedent from the party that routinely shows that they don't care about anything.
It was rich listening to Mitch McConnell speak about precedent after he helped pack the court.
The fucking idiocy of it all. Republicans are fucking swine.
Cruz tried to block Schumer’s move to dismiss the charges by offering a motion to send the Senate into a private session to debate the constitutionality of the impeachment.
Pfft, nice try Cruz. We all know who has their finger on the pulse when it comes to the Supreme court.
No evidence? Get the Fuck out and don't collect $200 for passing go.
That is all. Diiiiiis-MISSED!!!
They were hoping for some distraction from Trump's trial. Oops
That’s a whoopsie-do
