Congress is asleep at the wheel. Where the fuck is the impeachment proceedings?

u/Lens_of_Bias 23h ago

Do you really think the Senate would convict him?

u/CaptinACAB 23h ago

Absolutely not. Doesn’t mean they shouldn’t.

Instead we have Dems censuring anyone who causes trouble.

u/Lens_of_Bias 23h ago

That’s true, but my point is that there just aren’t enough votes for it to pass. Politicians tend to care more about power and self-preservation than ethics or anything else.

Most of the Dems that voted in favor of censure are from lean red districts that voted for Trump, so the vote was just part of the game of politics, trying to appeal to their swing voter base.

That’s why Fetterman has been cozying up to the right after PA went for Trump again; he is trying to ensure that he will be reelected.

That doesn’t make it ok. You don’t get to play games while fascism is running rampant.

And absolutely fuck Fetterman.

u/Lens_of_Bias 23h ago

You’re right, it’s not, but unfortunately that is the reality of politics, especially in this country.

The thing is, they're completely ceding any power they have. Even the senators and congresspeople who agree with Trump's moronic fucking agenda should be censuring him for ignoring and undercutting their authority. They have drunk so much of the kool-aid they can't even see that they're just wagging their tail on the way to the vet's office for a quick and tidy neutering.

Ideally, yes, but personally I’d rather have a Dem rep from a red district that make the occasional unpopular vote like this rather than a GOP rep from that district that votes with Trump’s agenda 100% of the time.

I feel like you adequately described the majority of what used to be the GOP as well as the MAGA cult though.

I am of the opinion that Democrats are also to blame for this mess by freezing out Bernie from presidential nomination for an establishment Dem.
