Greed tho
Could be a strange form of nihilism where you are just looking to salt the earth after the ashes.
I now think Republicans welcome climate change to unlock shipping channels

As long as impeachment effort remains divided along party lines, this is not a story worth publishing.
Yeah, it is. The straggling Democrats need to be primaried. Noem makes up undeniable lies in front of Congress every time she testifies.
It is very disheartening that not a single R is supporting this. Or it would be if I had any heart left to dis.
Dems growing a spine is a story worth telling.
Secretary Kristi Noem is skyrocketing, nearly doubling in the last week to 100 co-sponsors.
That's still less than half the Dem caucus on a motion that should be a litmus test for Rules Based Intentional Order liberalism.
I'd say the most damning indictment of impeachment is that it's not along party lines. 113 House Dems aren't sponsoring a bill to remove the most corrupt bureaucrat to hold the DHS office.
Dems should be talking about DHS like Republicans talk about the IRS. Not whatever this is.

It’s not even on party lines, more than half of Democrats see an innocent woman get shot in the face and still refuse to act.

The issue is, I don’t think it’s her so much as Stephen Miller. Even so, there is no shortage of individuals willing to take her role.
Yes, do it. Congress desperately needs to reclaim some of its power. But don’t expect her to be the last.
If you sign up to be the mouthpiece you should expect to be one of the first people to get punched in the mouth.
don’t think it’s her so much as Stephen Miller.
Noem was an outspoken fascist from her days as governor. It's how she got the job.
Might as well debate whether Himmler or Goering hated Jews more.

Impeach Trump before he starts a world war for crying out loud.
I believe you mis-spelled 'depose', or another more 'effective' word... 'impeach' has beem proven a synonym for 'wag a stern finger at, accomplishing nothing'.
Wait a moment. I'm not American so I don't understand. In the house there are 213 democrats, so that means more than half of them is thinking that is perfectly fine and normal having someone like her? It doesn't seem like "skyrocketing numbers" to me. I understand that an alternate headline is "majority of House Dems are against impeaching noem"
Thats exactly correct and anyone who tries to say otherwise is either being willfully ignorant or intentionally minimizing this fact. You might also be surprised to learn that many of these Dems voted against impeaching Trump for a third time last year. Their actions speak much louder than words.
They likely gave up because they realized that trying to impeach him is just adding fuel to his bases fire.
You gotta realize that Trump has a third of the country believing that he is a victim of political persecution. The "witch hunt" rhetoric was taken hook, line, and sinker. They sincerely and earnestly believe that Trump is a good man with a righteous vision, who is targeted by "the radical left", which is "weaponizing" the DoJ or the impeachment process.
And unfortunately, that less than 1/3 of the country lives in the right place to make them worth more than half of the seats in the Senate, so impeachment was bound to go nowhere and ultimately hurt the democratic party going into the next elections.
And this plot predates even Trump's first term. Part of the reason this guy is now Teflon is that he installed a lot of court seats. Partly due to Mitch holding back the nomination of Merrick Garland, but he was also holding back a shitload of lower court vacancies so that they could get filled by 45.
I agree that he should have been impeached, tried, and ultimately convicted. Honestly at this point, I feel like he should be hung for treason. But politics, sadly, can't always align with justice.

Skyrocketing / exploding numbers doesn't imply a majority.
A number can grow significantly and still be a less than another number.
Not exactly.
For context, a bill only needs one sponsor. Most bills have about 2 or 3 cosponsors. Signing a bill as a cosponsor is not the same as voting, which hasn't happened yet.

It's all symbolic, which is what DC Democrats specialize in. We have a one-party authoritarian state, and the Ruling Party will never allow it.

And half of 435 is 218, which is more than twice 100.
It's not a vote. I think it was like 7 people who co-sponsered Trump's first impeachment, and it passed the house.
In the end it will never get through the senate, so it won't matter though.
That is an embarrassingly low number.
exploding
Can't be an actual explosion because then the Dems would actually be doing something useful.

Midterms.
Things are going to get really really bad in like August through October. I hope everything goes off normally, but I think most people are expecting the worst we've seen so far. Trump and Co. has done too much illegal shit to not risk everything to stay out of prison.

They won't sacrifice their current golden lamb even if it's make a lot of things shit. But Kristi, she's a sacrificial cow. They'd happily throw her under the bus to install another puppet to take the blame.
