It means democrats wasted countless dollars on something that will go to the senate and die.

Regardless of how you feel about Trump, that's ultimately what happened here.

It might not go to the Senate. Dems might want to hold this over him during election cycle. Making it easier for the Dems to beat him.

I fail to see how this means anything? The Dems were going to run on the Impeach 45 mantra regardless of what the House did.

This changes nothing. Their messaging has been Impeach 45 since he was elected.

Yeah that's probably likely, the Republicans control the senate and they are pretty much 100% loyal to him for whatever reason

in short, it means congress has voted and determined that there is enough evidence to essentially put him on trial in the senate to decide whether he should be removed from office. Unfortunately, his Republican lap dogs in the senate have already stated that they will do whatever he tells them to do and will remain on their knees for him so nothing will happen. He'll finish his term and hopefully be voted out next November.

the thing is regardless of what happens at the senate hearing, if he loses the election next November and there is strong enough evidence for a criminal case he can be charged and put on trial for it.

People don't even really think about Clinton with regard to impeachment anymore. no one really cares...He got impeached for lying about getting a blow job. I bet if you ran a poll today no one would care. What Trump did was far worse AND he also lied about it...several times over several things. Clinton's impeachment is just a joke people make now. This one is going to hang over history for awhile...Even Lewinsky is lighter about the entire ordeal these days.

Yeah. But we also live in a day where scandals are a dime a dozen :/. People attached to stuff for way longer back then.

He didn't commit a crime though, that was just part of what the Executive branch does, not that you care about legality or what.

Don't think you cared about that anyways, since the second article of impeachment is going before the supreme court for being illegal since his "Obstruction of Congress" was just him going through the court system instead of bending over backwards for congress making bullshit subpoenas as if they were the judicial branch.

If they're going to make all sorts of nonsense impeachment votes, at least make it for things that were actually illegal or unconstitutional like the bumpstock ban.

Are you under the impression that impeachment is supposed to result in the removal of the President, VP, and everyone in the same party as the President?

No. Im under the impression that this is pointless, may make things worse, and is pretty much just a democrat hissy fit because they couldnt push Hillary in there. Screw them and the republicans. This tribalist bullshit is whats wrong with the country

Pence won't be able to do anything. He'd be the lamest of ducks. if it got to that point wed be well into primary season, the focus would be on the next election, and the GOP isn't just going to throw its support behind Pence/ They'll have bigger things to worry about with regard to the election. Sure he'd officially be President in a history book for a year, but there will be bigger things going on around him....i'm not worried about 11 months of "President Pence" in a campaign/primary year.

Why is it pointless to impeach a President? You shit on tribalism and political theater and then criticize everyone for not prioritizing political expedience.

Fuck that. We should hold far more politicians accountable. Politics be damned. Impeach em all.

That kind of requires a law to be broken, to witch there wasn't since it was well within the executive scope to work with Ukraine to preform a proper investigation on the previous admin abusing power. Not that I expect Democrats to know the law instead of talking out the ass.

Instead you just wanted him to be impeached for whatever you wanted, like a Russian colusion that never happened, or obstruction of congress which went to court last week, or your own candidate was abusing his powers and got caught... again. Shows enough that it was a party line vote and they're refusing to follow up with the senate because they know they don't have seats to convict..

I never said you cant criticize anyone. That isnt tribalism

Secondly, i agree. However, this isnt holding Trump to anything. He is not going to loss a thing and his party and cabinet will still be there even if he is gone.

All these antics just make it so that he will definitely be re-elected

It really is pretty pathetic that after all these years, the one thing that got him was a show trial by your whiny party over something that wasn't even illegal since it was within his power, and he's polling better now too.

Sad.
