Summary
Efforts to impeach Donald Trump for a third time are intensifying as he begins his second term.
The non-partisan group Free Speech For People launched the “Impeach Trump. Again” campaign, citing constitutional violations, including his alleged role in the January 6 Capitol riots and breaches of the emoluments clause.
The group also accuses Trump of campaign finance violations, xenophobic rhetoric, and abuse of power.
However, impeachment remains unlikely with Republicans controlling Congress. Democrats may revisit impeachment if they regain control in 2026.
Why would they bother? Nothing happened last time they did, except for wasting everyone’s time.
Wasting time is the point. Presumably if you can waste four years most of the damage will have been avoided.
Apathy and hopelessness leads to the worst outcomes.
I can’t speak for the Lemmite up thread, but it isn’t necessarily apathy. Trump & co successfully characterized these as partisan attacks.
Unless they can actually achieve something (like rolling back illegal legislation/policies), they’re useless.
Time and effort would be better spent convincing the electorate that the Dems are worth electing.
“If at first you don’t succeed, just fucking give up.”
More like the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
That’s the definition of practice.
