I'm under no delusion they do, it's just fun to break out the crayons and draw a picture for the class every now and then

bold of you to think they cared about fiscial responsibility at all.

Remember, these are the same people who think, and parrot, that trickle down still works.

You are familiar with the US Constitution, yes?

Article 1, Section 3, Part 7:

Judgment in cases of impeachment shall not extend further than to removal from office, and disqualification to hold and enjoy any office of honor, trust or profit under the United States: but the party convicted shall nevertheless be liable and subject to indictment, trial, judgment and punishment, according to law.

But wasn’t Trump already impeached? Didn’t he run afterwards?

Because in order to be disqualified, he would've had to be convicted the first time. So here we are now.

He's already been impeached (twice. What a sh*t President). That's the House bringing charges against him for high crimes and misdemeanors. It's now on the Senate to decide to convict him or not. They aren't "doing nothing", it's just highly unlikely it'll pass with a 2/3rds majority because the bulk of the Republican senators (and the party at large) refuse to acknowledge this is even a legal trial.

If you want to know what a major waste of taxpayer money is, Donald Trump pocketed millions of dollars of taxpayer money from all of his golfing trips on his own properties that required security to travel and stay at.

A trial to convict a man whose words and actions caused thousands of domestic terrorists to storm the capital building and result in half a dozen people dead including an officer to death bludgeoned to death with a fire extinguisher, all because said sitting president refused to acknowledge the results of an election proven time and time again was legitimate, who is literally recorded on a phone call threatening people who don't conveniently find him the amount of votes he needs to usurp the results, is hardly a waste of money. And if this was a BLM protest orchestrated by Obama in the exact same manner Trump did you'd be calling for heads to roll.

Wrong, I’m for Trump standing trial if enough evidence is available to prove he caused the assault on the Capital. But to impeach him after he lost is a waste of money.

Dormill and Stiura do you really think he’ll be convicted this time? Not going to say he shouldn’t, but any Republicans voting in favor are committing political suicide.

I have a serious doubt that aside from 5-6 Republicans who just managed to find a working spine in their closets over the past month, we won't see a true conviction. And in all honesty, the greater political suicide is to continue sucking up to Trump even though he has consistently lost two of the three elections he had any influence over (2016 was a fluke caused by electoral college bs, but R's did win further control of Congress so we give them their win). Most voters will remember exactly who puckered up over the next few days, those that remain will be reminded regularly across media for the next two years and into the next midterm.

And heaven forbid the Republicans if Trump decides to go forward with his "Patriot Party" idea and split the party in two, it'll be the Hartford Convention all over again by 2024.

I think you're looking at it from the wrong angle here. The intent isn't to impeach him after he lost, it's to hold him accountable for his actions that he committed while he was still in office as the acting president of the United States of America

Funny watching the Yankies trying to sort out their democracy.

Corindia all my kuhli loaches enjoy piling up in their little cave together during the early afternoon hours so I dropped an algae wafer about 8 inches away from it to bait them out for my entertainment, and after 20 seconds or so a massive pile of fish spaghetti just rocketed out in every direction along the bottom of the tank

They're so interesting to watch

I guess brexit proves that British democracy at lest still works, no matter how messy the actual process was/is. :^)

I wish cichlids stayed small. I love the look of a bunch of them (I think Venustus are my favorite. Green and blue giraffe spotting looks cool, and their behavior is fascinating), I just don't have room for a school of 9 inch fish. Same goes with Koi

Why would you want middle school me? That sounds like a time travel gone wrong
