(2,801 posts)Remember during the Obama years when the Republicans wanted to eliminate the ACA? Every day, they voted on it. Yes, they had no chance of succeeding, but they held votes on it.
Every. Single. Day.
They knew it wasn't going to pass. You know why they they did this?
1) To show what they believed in
2) To energize their base
3) To keep in the news and occupy the news of the day.
We need to be doing something, all the time. We have to push back on everything. There should be -no- Democrat votes on these incompetent, corrupt cabinet appointees. Sure, give someone like Rubio some votes, but not the rest. Keep the caucus unified.
Trump has already done at least three impeachable things. We should be at least talking about this possibility, if not actually filing the paperwork. Instead, we're mumbling complaints like the guy in Office Space who had his stapler stolen.
