Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

and there will be consequences
Only consequence I can predict:
The Empire is attacking! Launch the X-Wing fighters!
I'm willing to bet 100 dollars that this will go nowhere with the help of Democratic leadership and their members voting against it.
The number of co-sponsors has risen to 70 since this was published
Only one third of the minority party in the House.
Like, I'm not even mad at them. I just wish the party had over 70 people with more than an ounce of ethics or a gram of self-preservation instinct.
In the face of fascist paramilitary death squads going door to door, you can't even get every Dem to agree the fascist paramilitary death squads should be abolished.
Unless there is a lengthy prison sentence there will be no justice.
Great to see it happening, but I wish a Republican introduced it. Not only would it show there's a break for reason, but it'd also prevent it from being labeled a Democratic hoax, give it a reasonable chance of making it to the Senate, allow some Republicans to show an ounce of reasonableness to the cult's face, reassure some allies that the party in charge hasn't completely lost its mind, and serve as a warning to the cult.
You sure you really want that? If republicans start backing off now, people will forget all this, repubs will start winning elections again, the country will carry on like none of this ever happened, and we'll be right back here a few cycles from now. The only way to solve this problem for any length of time is to follow it to its bitter end, anything else is just kicking the can down the road.
ZERO consequences coming for that rotten cunt.
What consequences? An angry letter from democrats asking to please stop?
At worst she gets to go home to her millions of dollars, gets a TV deal, and America stays on the exact same course.

Oh no. Lmao. -Noemi, probably
I mean impeaching cabinet members is kind of pointless innit? Trump can easilly find a replacement that is functionally identical. You have to cut the head off VP+President at the very least. But really just skip all that bullshit and start advocating for a Constitutional Convention, the US government is broken and a CC is the only non-violent option.
Why would you want a constitutional convention? Ratification of a constitutional amendment requires acceptance by 75% of state legislatures. 60% of state legislatures are controlled by Republicans, which as I'm sure you know is the party causing the vast majority of the problems you are referring to. Nothing good would come from that unless you are the type who wants to enshrine anti-DEI bullshit in the constitution.
Any new appointments would have to go through congressional approval. Of course they could potentially get rubber stamped by the Republican controlled Senate, but they are losing support of some of the Republicans in the Senate so it's not a guarantee right now. I believe Thom Tillis (R-NC) and Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) have both stated publicly that they will block any appointments to the Federal Reserve so I can see them or others potentially doing the same for other appointments. This being an election year probably has a lot of them considering how they can save face for what they've let occur over the last year. I'm still making a lot of assumptions so who knows what would happen.
A Constitutional Convention while the conservatives have this much power will do what?
No. Following procedure maintains a sense of lawful government. While the act will fail, we will have a record if we ever get back to freedom.
No there won't.
How I wish this wouldn't fall predictably along party lines
