Republicans are in charge of the Senate.

Republicans are in charge of the House.

Republicans are in charge of the Presidency.

Republicans are in charge of the Supreme Court.

Republicans are to blame for everything.

It's weird that the only two options are "didn't want accountability in any way" or "was hellbent on accountability" rather than "didn't have the numbers to convict".
Also, I always think it’s so weird when people act like this is proof that Pelosi was hellbent on accountability. It’s just proof she was Speaker during a Trump presidency. She never considered, for instance, seriously impeaching Bush. It’s literally just a measure of how bad Trump is
Again, Pelosi personally did half of all presidential impeachments in American history

The logic here is that if she really wanted to, Pelosi could have singlehandedly impeached and convicted Trump in the first few hours after Jan 6.

For some reason, folks always ignore the fact that Repubs kept invalidating state elector slates *immediately* after the Jan 6 riot ended.
Pelosi only impeached Trump - both times - under overwhelming pressure from her caucus and after working hard to find any alternative that would let her avoid the whole thing. Often those alternatives were wildly inappropriate, even bizarre.

Your average person should not be expected to regularly look through the Congressional record to find out what big pieces of legislation are being considered and what's going on with them. That's an extremely valuable thing for national reporters to cover.

New, from me: The NYT reporter who specializes in profiles of beleaguered right-wingers on campus went to New College...and found out that things were going ok!

And a reminder: this DSA hagiographer wrote that less than a week after Bernie cast the deciding vote to kill a pediatric cancer bill child healthcare advocates spent years fighting for.

Why did he Block it? Because the bill wasn't perfect.

He was “holding out for a more comprehensive health care bill.”

I can’t imagine a clearer sign that he’s completely unconcerned with outcomes.

Problem. Its so funny to see you try to escape accountability. I seen a post today saying "Trump is bad is not enough for my vote." Stupid as hell given what we know. Anyways, there are a lot of selfish people in this country. Spoiled and entitled to the core.

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have shown Alzheimer’s disease can be REVERSED- not just prevented. Using a potent neuroprotective compound called P7C3-A20, they found RESTORING balance to a central cellular energy molecule (NAD+) not only PREVENTED disease features but REVERSED them, EVEN at late stages.

The complete memory holing of Trump’s first two impeachments ironically cuts strongly against several of the main online arguments for doing another one
Impeachment talk again? Dem-only impeachment might or might not be a good idea, but it's not much of a check on a lawless president (as we saw in the first Trump impeachment!) - and there are plenty of other real checks Congress can try that a Dem House could implement.

People don't like hearing this because they know that the Republican Party is a cult of personality and that getting the votes for a conviction would require an effort by Republican Senate leadership that they would never, ever attempt. And so you can't whine and point the finger at Democrats.

I'd go as far as to say that a third impeachment, unless you're absolutely sure you have the votes in the Senate to convict him, would be actively counterproductive and solidify impeachment in people's minds as a completely meaningless finger wag.

Maybe, this is plausible, but also congressmen know as well as we do that impeachment is a dead letter and so some are probably worried about being accused of impeachment-as-empty-messaging, or breaking campaign promises from people who don’t know impeachment ≠ removal.
I think leaving aside whether it's a good strategic idea the reason Dem leaders don't want to talk impeachment isn't because it's not popular in the country, it's because they're worried it's not popular *in a bunch of competitive congressional seats that voted for Trump in 2024*

Tl;dr: Lots of folks wanted Biden to use extra-constitutional means to respond to the coup attempt. That’s a reasonable position, but folks should have the courage of their convictions & own that. Otherwise, the only guaranteed constitutional solution was 👆, & again, you’re angry at GOP Senators.

In the absence of the GOP Senators fulfilling their oaths, no one has explained how Joe Biden and Merrick Garland were going to surmount the ultimate obstacle of the 6 Wizards In Robes on SCOTUS from exonerating the traitor Donald Trump. Pure Green Lanternism.

if you’re gonna demand that Democrats don’t accept money from billionaires or corporate PACs, then guess what? SOMEONE has to fund them.

That “someone” has to be you & me.

The price of saving democracy is a lot of annoying texts/emails. I try to at least spare you those.
