Spineless Democrats: Impeachment is OFF the table!

On Tuesday, the impeachment inquiry vote was defeated, with 128 Democrats joining all present House Republicans in voting it down.

Lacking support from House or Senate Democratic leadership for the move, Ocasio-Cortez nevertheless floated the idea of filing articles of impeachment over the president’s order to attack Iran on Saturday evening, minutes after the White House announced the U.S. airstrikes.

“He has impulsively risked launching a war that may ensnare us for generations. It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment,” wrote the congresswoman.

The tweet provoked a furious response from the president, who lashed out at Ocasio-Cortez and her party in a lengthy rant posted to Truth Social on Tuesday: “Stupid AOC, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, one of the ’dumbest’ people in Congress, is now calling for my Impeachment.”

“Alexandria should go back home to Queens, where I was also brought up, and straighten out her filthy, disgusting, crime ridden streets, in the District she “represents,” and which she never goes to anymore,” the president continued.

The congresswoman fired back in her own pair of tweets, remarking in conclusion that “I’m a Bronx girl. You should know that we can eat Queens boys for breakfast. Respectfully.”

While Ocasio-Cortez has grown closer to party leadership during her time in Congress (after joining as an bomb-throwing freshman who ousted a top-ranking Democrat in a stunning primary upset), Tuesday’s vote is emblematic of her status as a figure of the party’s left-wing backbencher faction.

It’s the second time this year that progressives have brushed up against moderate members of leadership over the intensity of their opposition to Trump — the first occurring during the president address to a joint session of Congress this spring.

The Bronx congresswoman was defeated in a bid to be the ranking Democrat on the Oversight Committee late last year, being passed up instead for the late Rep. Gerry Connolly.

I find it odd how the Democratic establishment is completely shunning the younger members of the party, like AOC and David Hogg.

Follow the money, and you'll see why.

They couldn’t even get Trump on blackmailing Ukraine and leading an insurrection. Trying to get him on bombing the world’s largest state sponsor of terrorism would have gone nowhere and been a complete waste of time. Maybe they should focus on shit that can actually get done and not performative bullshit. But we all know that’s too much to ask because Congress is a useless waste of space.

They should have gotten a wake up call last night. But they're too arrogant and complacent.

What R3 said, PLUS . . . trying to Impeach him would put him back into "Martyr Mode" and just help divert attention away for the all horrible things he is doing on a daily basis.

Israel controls both Democrats and Republicans in Congress.

This is no surprise.

She’s not young and he’s not a thing.

AOC is young by political standards. Especially by congressional standards. It's idiotic to suggest otherwise.

DJT was impeached twice during his first term and it went nowhere. MAGA doesn’t care and aren’t going to change. It’s all about owning libs and cults don’t allow for dissent.

Remember the convictions? That went nowhere. Face it, he’s Teflon. I don’t know that he will ever have a downfall other than getting sick before he eventually dies.

What was Einstein's definition of insanity, OP?

To keep doing the same thing over anf over again and expecting different results.

Sound familiar, OP?

Since the Senate WILL NEVER REMOVE Trump, so a failed impeachment will only STRENGTHEN him! Are people that dumb to not know this?

Trump will say, "I was found NOT GUILTY as always! Stupid Dems!" and the media will never question that lie.

I’d like to know once and for all what a “caucus” is.

With all this democratic infighting fascists are free to take over the country forever-TRUMPLAND USA.

He's already been impeached TWICE and STILL became POTUS again. What's the point?

Impeachment only helps him. It makes him look like a martyr which endears him to the public who also consider themselves victims.

It's a waste of time right now. There's no use to try for another impeachment unless and until the democrats regain control of both houses of Congress.

They know what to do and what I expect of them.
