    I get that impeachment isnt’ going to happen, but that’s not a reason not to try. Make every one of those fascist fucks write their name on the dotted line so history will remember that they refused to do anything about this. Instead I guess maybe we’ll remember Schumer did nothing about this?

      The Dems would not do anything if they had a majority.

      Do you not remember hearing the words “mueller report” 5 times a day for years straight? I’m seriously asking. It seems like liberals actually don’t remember this. Do you have any recollection of that at all?

    The far right has the votes for impeachment, AND removal. Schumer does not (and has already done this twice).

    Not to mention Schumer already got two votes to strip his war powers and the far right laughed at him.

    So of course it’s Schumer’s fault. What other reasonable conclusion could there be.
