Good thing we voted the House blue back in November.......

I think "shipping them back home" would be called "just cruel" and illegal too.

Edit: Better yet, if you can actually make that argument and have it fly, I'm sure someone has a check for you.

I’ll make it. Many of these people are seeking asylum. Which is not illegal. So if all the government is doing is waiting for these people to have an asylum claim hearing, where it may get rejected and they have to go back, just keep them together. Even if they’re going to hold them for some bullshyt ass reason, keep them together. If they’re so not wanted here, why separate them, and then not be able to find their kids? So we end up shipping them back, without their kids? That seems counterintuitive. Unless, what this administration wants to do is to terrorize these people psychologically.

i would impeach trump even if i know the senate republicans will save him...i would make them have to save him...i would make it impossible for trump to remain without the senate republicans actually having to save him...dems should still play the game even if they dont win...dems not impeaching is submission...it is what it is

I want impeachment hearings, but not because of tweets. Bad political optics regardless of what the peanut gallery thinks.

The way to do it is right after the Mueller hearings. That way you look serious and not petty. Wait a week lets see what happens Wednesday.

Forget about impeachment. They can't even get his taxes. The bare minimum. These dudes are clowns.

They can.. they can get his NY state taxes now and they REFUSE !!

Trump might be one of the most corrupt presidents ever he's literally done everything but strip copper out of the Whitehouse and rent out the oval office for a bangbros shoot and people are confused about why impeachment, which could put all of Trump's shady dealings and attempts to obstruct justice into the limelight, would be politically good for dems.

And Dems help kill Al Green's effort to bring up articles of impeachment. Trump is definitely going to brag about that once he gets in full campaign mode. So he's either going to be bragging about how the Senate didnt convict and remove him or bragging about how Dems are killing their own member bills to impeach him. Both situations are a loss for Dems. However, Dems could move forward, make the hearings public, broadcast every point of the Mueller report, whatever other evidence they find during their own house investigations, make the Senate Republicans who are up for election defend it and hope it turns off some voters that previous voted Obama but went for Trump WHILE MOTIVATING THEIR OWN BASE.

Most people won't pay attention to Trump's corruption until it's put out there. Nixon's impeachment wasn't popular until the hearings were publicized.

Impeach Trump for what?

You know who has to green light that shyt? That's right, Timothy Turtle

Therefore, no matter what the Dems do concerning impeachment, its gonna get buried by Mitch

At this point, a majority of American adults are gonna have to be smart enough to vote this mf out.

So, y'all should help vote him out. All the repubs.

Both sides are not the same Brehs. One side is made of Nazis

Actually, if he is impeached by the House, there has to be a trial for removal in the Senate. The Chief Justice of the Supreme Court and the Representatives chosen by the House to try the case would basically control the Senate for months.

Cocaine Mitch can’t defend him, can’t stop it, and couldn’t even think of obstructing it. Trump would essentially be on an island until it was time to vote for removal.

Former congressional staffers and other critics said that by agreeing to suspend the debt ceiling until 2021, Pelosi gave Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) the ability to extract massive spending cuts and other concessions from a Democratic president in exchange for raising the debt limit.

Paul Blest of Splinter wrote Tuesday that "if the eventual Democratic presidential nominee defeats Trump in 2020, this will be one of the things they have to deal with in their first year in office."

"If you really listen," Blest wrote, "you can almost hear [Texas Sen.] Ted Cruz yelling on the floor of the Senate that Congress shouldn't raise the debt limit by one more dollar unless President Bernie Sanders promises to drop his demand for Medicare for All."

Adam Jentleson, who served as deputy chief of staff to former Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid, echoed Blest's fears about the budget deal in an interview with Bloomberg, which reported Tuesday that 2020 Democratic presidential candidates are "quietly expressing consternation" that the agreement could set them up for a disastrous first year in the White House.

"The timing of it really bugs me," said Jentleson. "It sets up a crisis of the first year of the next president's administration. We're letting them light the fuse on another bomb and place it squarely in the middle of the next president's first year in office."

The Democratic leadership, said Jentleson, handed Republicans—who are favored to hold the Senate in 2020—"a major weapon" to completely derail progressive agenda items that 2020 Democrats have placed at the center of their White House bids.

As Jentleson pointed out on Twitter, Republicans weaponized the debt ceiling against former President Barack Obama in 2011:

Brian Fallon, executive director of progressive advocacy group Demand Justice and former aide to Schumer, was not as enthusiastic about the deal.

"It was fun for a while to debate whether the Democrat who beats Trump should focus on election reform or climate change in 2021," Fallon tweeted. "Now Republicans will make it a fight over lifting the debt ceiling."
