Rep. Al Green’s impeachment resolution was tabled on a 344-79 vote, with 128 Democrats joining all 216 Republicans to kill the measure.
The only time Dems and Republicans unite, is to say Israel is totally cool and we should give them more money…
I shouldn’t have to explain why that’s an issue.
But if you do, you’ll get cancelled.
Someone else told me the same thing earlier on a different comment…
And I just gotta disagree.
I’ve been criticizing Israel’s monetary relationship with American politicians for about 20 years now. Before Facebook was invented even.
Never been “cancelled”.
I didn’t want to explain it because I was being lazy. You can 100% talk about why it’s an issue, especially here. If you find yourself being “cancelled” then you may want to take a step back and re-evaluate what you are saying and looking into the validity of it.
I mean, right now we’re on one of the major communities on our instance, openly discussing it…
No one is being “cancelled”
Except for maybe these folks plus the people we don’t know about in El Salvador
Mahmoud Khalil • Syrian‑born Palestinian and legal U.S. permanent resident. • Detained by ICE on March 8, 2025 in New York—reportedly without a warrant—under a rarely used immigration law citing alleged national-security concerns tied to his activism. • Held at LaSalle Detention Center in Jena, Louisiana, for 104 days, separated from his family—including missing the birth of his son. • Released on June 20, 2025, after a federal judge deemed his detention unconstitutional, finding no flight risk or danger.
Mohsen Mahdawi • Palestinian U.S. green‑card holder and Columbia University student. • Arrested by ICE on April 14, 2025, at a citizenship interview in Vermont . • His detention prompted immediate habeas corpus filings; held in St. Albans, Vermont. • Released on April 30, 2025, after a federal judge determined his detention likely aimed to suppress free speech.

Not surprised, just disappointed. They’re all complicit
They’re all complicit
What?
79 voted for it, if you don’t think that’s fucking huge, you don’t understand how bad it’s been
Shit is improving, quickly even.
But like ~20% of the House openly and publicly going against Israel? Thats significant and the trend looks set to continue.
And I shouldn’t have to say this…
But ~80% is less than 100%, so no, it’s not “all”.
Shit is improving, quickly even.
On what planet?
Didn’t the house already impeach him twice?
Yep…and it didn’t do much, because “impeach” does NOT mean “remove from presidency”. It can lead to that, but it’s like saying being written up at work is the same as being fired.
Right so why bother impeaching him anymore. It makes the legislative branch look like a bunch of idiots.
Because impeaching is step one in removing. Procedure matters in these things. The one President who was almost convicted (Nixon) left when it became clear that public opinion of him was going to force the Senate’s hand to convict him. It’s all political, but it’s the only legal mechanism that exists.
I really don’t think Trump cares about public opinion.
The government doesn’t work that way anymore. We’re not gonna Woodward and Bernstein our way out of this.
Also: since when does Trump care what’s legal?
They are a bunch of idiot.
Like the 60+ separate votes/bills to remove the ACA when Republicans didn’t have the support and here we are a few years later with them running the entire government.
They removed David Hogg from his position but vote to keep trump in his.
Hogg is a threat to the oligarchy whereas Trump, the entire Republican party, and most of the Democratic party are complicit in supporting it.
Americans are the biggest cowards in the world.
What a fucking timeline, this is incredible 😳
Edit: and I don’t mean this in an insulting manner, I truly feel bad for them. Barbarians are taking over the Rome, everyone is fucked…
“Home of the braves, land of the free”
Friend of mine quipped they have so much, so they also have the most to lose. Unfortunately, they haven’t yet lost so much that it overcomes the dread of having to fight, so all you hear is people complaining on the internet.
How much proof do you need to understand they are working in concert to usher in an imperial fascist police state. The Democrats don’t oppose the Republicans, they oppose YOU. To them, YOU are the threat.
I think, given the huge leap you’ve made, I’m gonna need a little more proof.
Hanlon says hello.
In the context of defending our country from the ongoing fascist takeover, Democrats being too stupid to understand that they need to do something about it might be worse than actively supporting it so I’m not sure what you’re getting at.
If Democrats had actual power to do something about it then you’d have a great argument, but they’ve had 50 or less in the senate for more than a decade and Trump is in power with a plurality election result.
Even the impeachment trial never would have convinced 20 GOP senators to cross the aisle to remove Dump from office, it’s better to save it for later.
Stop making excuses. They have the filibuster and have used it once, against nothing.
They voted to remove David Hogg but not trump.
Roll call for this vote if you want to see how your representative voted and perhaps give them some feedback.
EDIT: The Clerk’s website went down earlier. When it came back up, it looks like they’re returning the wrong results. The vote to table the impeachment resolution was roll call #175, the number you see in the URL. It looks like it’s now displaying the results for roll call #178 on the page, a vote to adjourn. I’ve updated the link to an alternate view that seems to be returning the results for the correct vote, but please check the title of page in case this gets broken again.
Nice so the site is down now what a joke

Every Yea an enemy of the rule of law
That’s confusing, given all Republicans voted Nay.
Holy crap - We have complicit Oligarchs and not a opposition party. We as the kids say - are cooked.
What exactly do you think the impeachment inquiry will accomplish with a Republican house and senate majority?
The same thing democrats accomplished when they had majorities in both houses. Keeping excuse makers busy.
AOC isn’t on the list?
I see her down in the O’s with a Nay vote. (Which, confusingly, is a vote in favor of impeachment, as the vote was to table the motion.)
The law is clear. It doesn’t matter if it’s politically convenient or likely to succeed. If the President breaks the law, which Trump clearly has, they must be impeached.
The law means nothing if you’re not willing to enforce it.
Call your representative and tell them you won’t vote for them if they don’t support impeachment.
would ya baby?
It’s just like in the playground; almost everybody want to stand up to the bully, but nobody has the guts. They are afraid the bully will call them names or attack. And when finally one does stand up, the others cowers in a corner.
They all wanted to bomb Iran anyway
Name em. If it’s too hard, name those who voted to proceed.
I wonder who funds the ones who voted to kill it
Not killed. The Impeachment can still procede, they’ve simply chosen not to do it now when Republicans hold house and senate majorities. The votes needed to remove Trump are 67, meaning you would need 20 GOP Senators.
That’s the removal bit.
An Impeachment without removal means fuck all.
Killed. The only way they would vote for impeachment is if trump stopped doing whatever netanyahu wanted.
Not kill, shelve. Let’s be honest, you weren’t going to get dozens of GOP votes in the house and 20 in the senate to remove Trump anyways. If you want Trump gone then the only way is helping the DNCs take a huge midterm majority.
Removed by mod
Why would we want to impeach Trump?
Trump’s approval wasn’t affected, if anything it went up. Republicans increased their support of dear leader. It just wastes time and effort so we can say Trump was impeached.
And for what? Who cares? Are we trying to look good for the history books?
The fascists are infighting and Trump’s approval in tanking. Impeachments are more likely to reverse that than to accelerate the process.
People act like this counts as some appeasement or enabling of Trump… as if third times the charm! Two of these bombs were dropped on MAGA and did fuck all. It’s not exactly “pulling punches” to not waste a third one.
You do realize that the impeachment isn’t the goal, right? It’s just the first step. If you want to forcibly remove Trump while he’s still alive, you only have 2 options. 1) You need Vance and half of Trump’s cabinet to formally deem him incapable of executing the powers of the office and replacing him with Vance under the 25th amendment and then (when Trump pushes back) have 2/3rds of both houses of congress vote to agree he’s incapable. Or 2) Have a majority of the House vote to impeach him, and then have 2/3rds of he Senate vote to convict, which will result in his removal from office. Impeachment isn’t just a formal scolding. That’s called a censure. It’s an indictment of a crime that will then be tried in the Senate. In both cases of impeachment last time, the spineless Senate voted to acquit. But that doesnt mean that they won’t ever break ranks or that in voting to acquit they may lose votes as a result.
