What a total clown car the USA is.
…when I was a kid and I watched Mars Attacks! and that scene happened where gramma laughed ass off when the aliens disintegrated congress…I didn’t really get it.
Now I do.

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!

Bunch of billionaire servants that do nothing. *Nothing good generally on purpose at least.
They're mad for the right reasons. Even if what they do about it and who they enable is ignorant and wrong. If someone ever manages to break the propaganda and reach them though. Things would get real bad real quick for the political class. They work hard to divide us for a reason.
Yeap. There’s no other way to think of politicians…with very few exceptions, if any.
Any politician who gets inside the system and isn’t raising alarm bells 24-7…who tries to reach across the aisle…who tries to horse trade…who lets their vote get whipped…is too far gone.
How do a few new congress people get anything done without compromise with at least half the rest?

That's when Congress was relatively popular too.
Cool, but where are the files?
They still have 9 more days to scrub them before release
They can only make Sharpies so fast.
I imagine they’re just dipping each page in a barrel of black ink
They should've just printed on black paper
With their track record, they'd just swap the BG color to black, then release the PDF files. So much quicker that way!
We are never going to get the files...
I thought the turd took executive action to block their release?
I'd rather some key people get impeached than files. Primarily because I think precisely nothing will happen if they come out.
Oh there'll be a lot of outrage, of memes, of articles and whatever but nothing much will really happen if it wasn't happening already. The files are just information after all, and we haven't done much with the info we have.
It'll just be like the Panama papers all over again.
He should have never been approved for the position of secretary of health to begin with
Yeah that was one of the more fucked confirmation hearings. He should have been held in contempt during the first 5 minutes.
Hey look, a Democrat not in leadership is actually trying!
Looking forward to Jefferies to capitulate and punish the democrat for trying.
Looking forward for Jefferies to say some bullshit like "but he's a good man"
It's probably not at all indicitave of social decay that there are at least 3 failed impeachment attempts every year.
It's illustrative of Congress's attitude towards impeachment changing over time.
Also, probably not great that its proving to be an ineffective measure.
It's a sign that the system needs an overhaul
I'll never forget the army of dude bro dipshit armchair doctors that took to social media to proclaim RFK as a god of health knowledge solely because he takes roids.
Why?
-Democrat Leadership!
Texas Democrat Al Green told Congress on Monday he was "moving to bring impeachment again" against President Donald Trump. He said that it will be clear why he is making the move when the articles are filed but that it was partly because Trump "doesn't respect the separation of powers" by speaking against members of the House who do not agree with him.
In a better country, Al Green would be Minority Leader and Hakeem Jeffries would be locked in a boiler room making cold calls to donors where he belongs.
Don't have much hope this goes anywhere not even trying and failing predict majority of democrats refuse to even try unfortunately.
Not entirely the point, but your skepticism is not unfounded by any means.
He should be arrested, thrown in prison, and made to hand-write letters of apology to families of all those he's killed.
Turning your back on science surely is not impeachable.
Impeachment is s political process, not a legal one. Even a blow job is impeachable apparently.
It doesn't change your point, but he was impeached for perjury and obstruction of justice, not for a sex act.
The charge was trumped after they pried into his personal life. Do we ask Donald whom he's fellatioed, and investigate when we don't like the answer?

....first, anything is impeachable. Tying your shoe wrong is impeachable.
Second, he's turning his back on the people. He's endangering people with terrible science. So yeah, when your government position is literally fucking science, then turning your back on it is a bad fucking thing.

Crazy glued his cheeks to his teeth.
Where have we seen this before?
I can't tell the difference when people post pictures of Leland Palmer.
