They emphasized: “Impeachment is a sacred constitutional vehicle designed to hold a corrupt executive accountable for abuse of power, breaking the law and violating the public trust.”

“None of that serious work has been done, with the Republican majority focused solely on rubber stamping Donald Trump’s extreme agenda. Accordingly, we will be voting ‘present’ on today’s motion," they continued.

Jesus Christ we are about to go to war with Venezuela for fucking oil where potentially tens of thousands of people, including Americans, will die and these motherfuckers are still coming up with excuses. Y'all keep bitching about Trump's overreach yet have done fuckall to do anything about it besides bitch and complain that you are powerless.
