128 Democrats join House Republicans to block AOC, Al Green bid to impeach Trump
Lacking support from party leaders, Rep. Al Green and progressives’ bid to launch punitive inquiry over ‘Midnight Hammer’ bombardment fails
Useless. Time for the Social Democrats to form their own party.
Well that was nice of them to make a list of who wants to be primaried
The day Americans realized no one was coming to save them 🫂

He's still useful to Israel. Bibi has some Raytheon catalog pages he circled items on.
He's already been impeached twice in his previous presidency, he shouldn't even be sitting where he's at
Might as well let trump win. Maybe a few more assassinations will wake the dems up.
Liberals are against every war except the current one.
Jesus McFucking Christ.
Welp There it is, on record, Both sides are the same.
128 Democrats join House Republicans to defend fascist dictator
Rep Paul Tonko is one of the NY reps that voted no to impeach. I work 2 blocks from his office and plan to spend my lunch hour every day demonstrating in front of his Albany office. I already called his office to bitch. I've got printed letters that say, "Congratulations, you're a fascist collaborator." Going to be stuffing those in envelopes with glitter and putting one in the mail every single day. Give me your best for my protest signs.
Called it. People need to set their expectations way lower so they aren't so pissed off about the lack of action from this party. They should also read up on the legal precedents that were going to sink these articles to begin with. Democrats would have a much better chance to impeach some of the Donvict's shitty cabinet members, (Pete Hegseth, ICE Barbie, RFK, DOGE) for clearly impeachable offenses, but decided to swan dive into an empty concrete pool. So there is still no sound strategy from the democrats on how to dismantle this nightmare and only pissing the public off with limp wristed slaps.
This goes to show that the problem isn't Trump or the Republicans, the problem is the United States of America. The only way things are going to get better is if America is removed from its position of global power and influence. If you care about fighting fascism and tyranny, you need to boycott American products, refuse to work for American companies and, if you're already working for an American company and can't quit, drop your productivity as far as possible. Do everything in your power to damage the American economy and reduce their power.
Sounds like some independents are about to be entering office. The people need to stick it to these paid traitors. They get paid a fuckton more than you with your tax dollars and then take money from special interest groups on top of that to fuck you over some more. Are you getting your money's worth America? Get these assholes out of office and put in some actual difference makers. The founding fathers are rolling in their graves watching what the country has become. Shame on all of you. Kick these losers to the curb.
Is there a list of names? Because if any of my reps show up on this list, I will never vote for them again.
I don't want these fucking dinosaurs running the goddamn party anymore. I want some progressives with teeth who have the backbone to fight the fascists head on. I don't care how petty or how low they have to get, I want to see them at least try.
Fucking seriously??? These assholes could finally do something and the roll over. Pieces of shit.
This is so messed up.
Conspiracy Theory time: Most Democratic politicians are actually just robots piloted by far-right government agents
Representative Mike Lawler, a New York Republican, wrote on X: "This is absurd on its face. The United States has not declared war since 1942 and has conducted over 125 different military actions since that time, including in Korea, Vietnam, the Gulf, Afghanistan, and Iraq. Presidents of both parties have relied on Article II authority, as well as AUMFs [Authorizations for Use of Military Force], to conduct targeted strikes and have not been subject to impeachment. In 2011, Barack Obama conducted an 8 month campaign in Libya to topple Gaddafi."
There is a new website tracking whether politicians will go on the record to be against bribery.
I wonder if they will note this?
Here is the full list of Democrats that voted to table the articles of impeachment.
Find yours, call them, and let them know they've failed to represent the people interests.
Traitors, every last one
Almost 400 million Americans still think walking will fix this.
We’re so fucked.
Looks like there are 212 Democrat reps in the house, which puts it at a large majority which would rather “not cause a fuss” or whatever the fuck excuse they’re trying to bullshit this time.
Useless people. Worthless people.
Why people keep thinking the democrats will ever be more than passive bystanders to corruption and greed. They benefit regardless who's in charge as long as it's not left of them
I'm gonna disagree here. The impeachment resolution was a dumb idea, and should not have been introduced. It was never going to be successful. The more impeachment resolutions are introduced and fail, either in the house or Senate, the less likely they are to ever succeed. It looks more like boring partisan messaging, and less like an extraordinary situation. Introducing this resolution makes it less likely that Trump will be removed from office, not more.
I'm not going to take a position on whether it was a good idea to vote against it, that's more debatable, but as a message to their fellow Democrats they are right that the resolution was a terrible idea.
They should have done it on day one and continued every day to explain to the public why it is necessary and how he is corrupt and dangerously incompetent if he remains.
You people starting to realize that these 'Democrats' are just in there for the money like Republicans are, you need to clean the party
This, in a nutshell, is what is wrong with the Democratic Party.
If one of these folks is your rep, CALL their office and ask them why they voted to table the impeachment vote, and let them know you're thinking seriously about not casting a vote for them the next time you have the opportunity.
Cowards the lot of them. I'm sure as well having AOC at the forefront the majority of the useless Elissa Slotkin-style useless libs squashed this out of spite
I am going to point to this every time i get told to vote blue no matter who, or when i am told i am not allowed to criticize the Democratic Party because republicans exist.
First of all, this is bullshit - every one of the 128 Democrats needs to be primaried out asap. (which of them are up in midterms?)
Second of all, this is another deliberate swipe at AOC and this will not stand, man.
Thirdly - however. We did this with Gee Dubz in early 2000s. Launching a missile strike without Congress' input was already hashed out, and the president can do it. They did it by some bullshit where "going to war" is a whole seal, stamp, and magic incantation hullaballoo. If you remember Hillary voting for the Iraq War II, that was what that was about - they got to a point where Gee Dubz time had run out and he would either have to cut the shit or Congress would have to let him do it. Yes, Dems ate shit back then too, yes. NOT ALL - we had AOCs back then too. But the old ones were "only" sixty back then.
Fourthly - this was never going to go anywhere because we'd need 20 House republiQans to give up their lucrative careers to join in the effort which would then die in the Senate again.
And Lastly - I don't know what 128 Democrats got for what will be costly to them personally, but it was something. Was it worth it? Let's make sure it was not.
Profiles In Cowardice
for all his talks, Ted Lieu still doesnt have the balls to impeach.
This is a train wreck from beginning to end, with only one winner: Trump.
It was stupid to call for an impeachment vote in the first place, because it had zero chance to succeed. It's quite lame as a symbolic gesture too, because a failure is a failure in the books no matter what the intentions are. And you put your own party members in a position where they can only lose either way. This is terrible from a political strategy standpoint unless your explicit goal is to divide the party, which in turn weakens the party even more. A sad and unnecessary shit show all the way. The only hope left is that Trump dies laughing.
Are they trying to avoid JP Mandel becoming president?
I don't know what's the fuzz is all about
They know you guys will vote blue no matter who
You know you will do it. Hell you all will eat shit if the Dems tell you to
It's basically a pure distilled nothing burger with virtue signaling fries on the side
Follow the money; https://www.trackaipac.com/congress
This just shows all of them are complicit. Democrats and republicans, all same shit.
Democrats are the enemy as well at this point. They are in no way interested in stopping Trump. They are complicit just as Republicans and the media.
What is there NOT to impeach?
All I'm saying is that we need more Zohrans, in every city.
I imagine there are significantly more complex concerns the representatives are navigating than the reductive assessments being presented here.
For example, the voter base has clearly demonstrated they are morons and SOME of the reps may reside in more moderate districts with split ticket voting. If they know it is a mathematical impossibility why would they waste political capital and open themselves up for midterm attack ads.
While you and I, or anyone with more intellectual capacity than a goldfish realize the danger of Trump, they may also want to ensure when they support impeachment, they do it for an issue that has more broad support of public opinion.
I often see reductive assessments of political behavior that lack any attempt to consider measured approaches within a given context, even historically. Hindsight is 20/20 and there are often many moving parts aside from what you or I feel is the correct thing to do.
war is profit. would you expect any less from these monsters?
They are all complicit. The democrats are completely ok with everything Trump does. As long as the make money and the individual stays in office. They do not care about you. The system is broken beyond belief.
Here's the voting record to "table this discussion" a yay means against impeachment.
https://clerk.house.gov/Votes/2025175
And the congressional record. https://www.congress.gov/congressional-record/volume-171/issue-108/house-section/article/H2906-2
This is the roll call of the motion to table the impeachment. It's listed by alphabetical last name, but you can find your reps in there.
This wasn't the resistance we were looking for. The Dems picked a subject that wasn't particular to this President.
Intentionally wasted impeachment effort. Green is the bad guy here, I wonder what he was thinking. AOC was doing the job of opposition, getting people to focus on the bombing and think about its legitimacy
Seems an own goal. It's not like it was going to pass anyway, since every single republican unsurprisingly turned it down.
