Honestly, I’m all for it and wish the dems had been doing it even more.
It’s not about success at this point; it’s about making it resolutely clear through the voting record which members of congress are seditious traitors abrogating their oath of office. Makes it much easier for the Nuremburg II lawyers, in other words, if/when a future reckoning happens.

Same here. And for the record, until now usually it has been Al Green introducing articles of impeachment alone, but doing it anyway because it’s the right fucking thing to do. I have nothing but the deepest respect for that, because it has NOT helped him politically, but he does it anyway, like the sign at the State of the Union address: where the fuck were his Democratic colleagues??? Even if it goes nowhere, I appreciate that there’s at least one Dem in DC not politely ignoring the total illegality and unconstitutionality of what the orange chancre does.
This time, though, it is John Larson of Connecticut introducing the articles of impeachment, a guy who’s been in Congress since 1999. I never heard of him, so I looked him up. And while this impeachment is still the right thing to do, Larson is 100% a party man, never steps out of line, and has never done this or anything like it before.
But in an unrelated note, Wikipedia says that, “For the first time since 1999, Larson faces serious Democratic challengers.” Better late than never, but I have to ask myself, would Larson even be bothering if his own ass weren’t on the line because progressives – not R’s, not D’s, but progressives – are overturning almost every single election they’re appearing in with shock wins, often with unexpected double-point leads?
I’ll take a Hail Mary pass, but it would go over a lot better with me if I didn’t think he was doing it solely to save his own seat.

Power never acts out of altruism, only out of self-interest. If you want things to get better, you have to put enough pressure on those in power that the things that are in their best interest are also the things that are good for society. If Larson is under enough pressure that he thinks impeaching Trump is his best strategy then that’s a good thing.
Jokes on you, I cleaned out all my spread out 401k accounts ehen I saw them losing value. I’d rather have escape money than pretend I will ever retire with dignity in this undeveloping nation.

Impeach harder!
But… the market! Think of my investments!

TBH markets despise uncertainty and Trump has long since lost the majority of the business community.
This.
