Politics
For civil discussion of US politics. Be excellent to each other.
Rule 1: Posts have the following requirements:
▪️ Post articles about the US only
▪️ Title must match the article headline
▪️ Recent (Past 30 Days)
▪️ No Screenshots/links to other social media sites or link shorteners
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. One or two small paragraphs are okay.

This will never even be voted on. Democrats do performative acts like this when there is no chance of it going anywhere. Why didn't they codify Roe v Wade during Biden's first two years when they controlled the house and the senate? Why didn't they lock Trump up the day after Biden took office? Because they are a single party and their opposition to the GOP is all theater.
For 100 days, I've been sitting here while people say, "Why don't the Democrats do something?" and then one does something and people immediately proclaim that it isn't enough. What exactly do you want done and how?
“Doing something” implies a perceivable desired outcome. “Do anything” is a bar so low I’m surprised it is being defended.
You forgot to answer my question. What exactly do you want done and how?
I want Trump tried and executed for treason.
Go ahead and walk me through the steps towards that goal.
Sure, here is a way forward:
This is the proper democratic means, if that even matters anymore.
I think a far more effective method would be several million of us marching on the capitol in DC. Trump obviously senses this threat is drawing nearer, which is why he has given bondi and hegseth powers to stage the military against civilians in partnership with the police. In this scenario I believe it will be over for the Trump regime, whether or not the military decides to act on these unconstitutional orders.
....and how? How do you want that accomplished?
Impeachment is literally how that occurs...
