Imagine if ANY Democratic president did this! Republicans would be writing up impeachment articles as we speak! 😛

To be fair impeachment articles have and are being written

Fat lot of good it will do. Bastard was already impeached once

Twice.

Our immediate acceptance of that is part of the problem too

Not really a gotcha. No party has ever written impeachment articles for a president of their party.

To be fair, they were all publicity stunts because the writers know they're non-starters with a Republican controlled House and Senate

Even if they were, it’s nice to know that someone doing at least some work.

He has already been impeached two times. He has also over 30 felonies. Do you think another impeachment would mean anything this time around?

u/justtosendamassage 1d ago

Mean something? Yes. Do anything? No

If nothing comes from it, it doesn't mean anything

u/justtosendamassage 10h ago

If it helps you to think that way have at it

u/v0gue_ 10h ago

It helps me as much as impeaching the president helps everyone. Nothing happens

That sort of attitude will get ya no where

Just like impeachment.

Tell me what impeaching the president will do this time. I mean really, how is it going to affect anyone or anything, from an individual level to American society, to the global society. He's been impeached twice and convicted of multiple felonies. It's on YOU to convince me another impeachment has any value, because I've sat through two of them and watched nothing come from it. I have experience to back up my claim. Tell me why I'm wrong instead of just arbitrarily telling me I have a bad attitude. My attitude is just and right on point considering it developed from real events of impeachment doing nothing

It’s not on me to do anything for you. You gotta bad attitude, and you just gave me exhibit B

u/v0gue_ 8h ago

Lol if you actually had hope and believed there was value in impeachment, you would have told me already. I don't even think you believe what you say. You just want to project your own insecurities on the matter on me by mindlessly repeating "bAd aTtiTuDe", but you won't tell me why it should be better. Does it make you feel better to get online and do that? Do you feel more secure about yourself by mindlessly just accusing people of having bad attitudes without explaining why? Can you at least just say "yes, that's why I do it", so we can end the conversation, or are you unwilling to even admit that
