Rep. Al Green’s impeachment resolution was tabled on a 344-79 vote, with 128 Democrats joining all 216 Republicans to kill the measure.
The only time Dems and Republicans unite, is to say Israel is totally cool and we should give them more money...
I shouldn't have to explain why that's an issue.
Americans are the biggest cowards in the world.
What a fucking timeline, this is incredible 😳
Edit: and I don't mean this in an insulting manner, I truly feel bad for them. Barbarians are taking over the Rome, everyone is fucked...
Friend of mine quipped they have so much, so they also have the most to lose. Unfortunately, they haven't yet lost so much that it overcomes the dread of having to fight, so all you hear is people complaining on the internet.
"Home of the braves, land of the free"
Home of the cowards, land of the slaves**
Land of the fee, home of the slave.
How much proof do you need to understand they are working in concert to usher in an imperial fascist police state. The Democrats don’t oppose the Republicans, they oppose YOU. To them, YOU are the threat.
Fucking traitors
Call your representative and tell them you won't vote for them if they don't support impeachment.
Not surprised, just disappointed. They're all complicit
They’re all complicit
What?
79 voted for it, if you don't think that's fucking huge, you don't understand how bad it's been
Shit is improving, quickly even.
But like ~20% of the House openly and publicly going against Israel? Thats significant and the trend looks set to continue.
And I shouldn't have to say this...
But ~80% is less than 100%, so no, it's not "all".
Have you considered that maybe "all" was referring to "all that voted against it" ?
Have you considered that my comment might have been intended to be the entire lyrics to 80s Belgium techno anthem Pump up the Jams?
Sometimes we have to take words at face value.
Shit is improving, quickly even.
On what planet?
They removed David Hogg from his position but vote to keep trump in his.
Hogg is a threat to the oligarchy whereas Trump, the entire Republican party, and most of the Democratic party are complicit in supporting it.
Roll call for this vote if you want to see how your representative voted and perhaps give them some feedback.
EDIT: The Clerk’s website went down earlier. When it came back up, it looks like they’re returning the wrong results. The vote to table the impeachment resolution was roll call #175, the number you see in the URL. It looks like it’s now displaying the results for roll call #178 on the page, a vote to adjourn. I’ve updated the link to an alternate view that seems to be returning the results for the correct vote, but please check the title of page in case this gets broken again.
Nice so the site is down now what a joke

Every Yea an enemy of the rule of law
Service unavailable on my end. I assume due to high demand, not censorship. I hope so at least.
Holy crap - We have complicit Oligarchs and not a opposition party. We as the kids say - are cooked.
It's just like in the playground; almost everybody want to stand up to the bully, but nobody has the guts. They are afraid the bully will call them names or attack. And when finally one does stand up, the others cowers in a corner.
Ah, the Geronocrats. Always been a disappointment throughout my entire life, before and after I became eligible to vote.
Revolution in the streets everyone! Let’s go if they don’t want change we will give them change.
The political system is completely fucked. I think going grassroots with direct action is currently the best way to both resist, and build horizontal decentralized power that isn't prone to corruption.
- find local communities and get involved to make connections
- We can effect things drastically with a general strike. This targets the establishment's income streams, and can bring a fascist government to its knees if done on a large enough scale.
- Contact a union and attempt to unionize your workplace so that the general strike is even more effective (plus, ya know, better pay and working conditions as a bonus!)
This method would not only work in the US, but anywhere in the world.
Union Suggestions:
- 🌍 Global: IWW (Français) - (Español)
- 🇦🇷 Argentina: FORA
- 🇦🇺 Australia: ASF-IWA
- 🇧🇷 Brazil: FOB
- 🇧🇬 Bulgaria: ARS, CITUB
- 🇩🇪 Germany: FAU
- 🇬🇷 Greece: ESE
- 🇮🇹 Italy: USI
- 🇳🇱 🇧🇪 Netherlands & Belgium: Vriji Bond
- 🇪🇸 Spain: CNT
- 🇸🇪 Sweden: SAC
- 🇬🇧 United Kingdom: UVW
- Continuing to participate in publicly visible resistance demonstrations like 50501 (the next one is July 17th) to encourage others to stand up with you and prove to that there are millions of others who will join them in the fight. A large part of Nazi Germany's success in taking over the country was a lack of massive public demonstrations against the new regime, making people feel helpless and afraid to take a stand.
If we put in the work, we can resist this and we can win. Look at how effective these methods were when used in Chile in 2019.. If we completely reject the political system and rebel on a mass scale, there is NOTHING they can do to stop us.
The law is clear. It doesn't matter if it's politically convenient or likely to succeed. If the President breaks the law, which Trump clearly has, they must be impeached.
