      Doesn’t matter.

      Every impeachable offense needs to be processed. The time the GOP spends defending him is time they aren’t spending actively destroying the world.

      Plus, we need to have a clear and firm record of who supports his actions.

      They could at least introduce the resolution. It’s not a true win, but at least they don’t continue to be seen just lying down and taking it.

          It can be introduced as a “privileged resolution“ which bypasses Johnson’s ability to do that. That said the GOP still has a number of options to table it, or refer it to committee, but at least that bypasses that fuckwad Johnson. This fucking government I swear to God. Can we just please have a constitutional convention already?

            I’m not particularly confident that a constitutional convention would end positively. You need 3/4 of state legislatures to agree to any change and Republicans are much more likely than Democrats to reach that threshold. The most realistic outcome is probably an amendment banning DEI initiatives or corporate tax rates above 10% or some shit like that.

          Impeach Johnson, too. Throw them all out via the 14th amendment. I’m so tired of the republicans being consistently the worst people on earth.

        Or they’d be seen as pursuing a pointless and performative act they knew wouldn’t work.

        You can’t win with people who want you to fail.

        Might as well. They don’t seem to be doing anything else.
