      The point is to gum up the works and to actually do their job regardless of lack of success. I don’t understand how people are okay with them not doing their jobs after we complain so much they don’t do anything.

        The problem is that repeated failed attempts to impeach galvanize his supporters and prove to the right that it doesn’t matter what they’re doing, they’ll get away with it. Which then just pushes them further. It’s not convincing anyone who doesn’t already think he’s a pedophile rapist facist, on the contrary, it’s making the people who don’t already believe that further believe that the left is just making bullshit up because if Trump were really the antichrist facist, the impeachment wouldn’t fail.

        Failing to impeach Trump over and over isn’t functional progress. If the democrats want to do anything, they should spend 100% of their time obstructing every nomination and every bill put forward by this administration, and spend every other bit of time they have gumming up the works with bills we know will fail to undo the damage being done. At least in those cases there’s a potential they could actually do some good.

        Trump will never be successfully impeached. Anyone who thinks so at this point is an absolute pelican.
