      She has less support, and even an unsuccessful vote would divide Republicans when they currently have razor thin margins in Congress…

      Like, obviously

      Probably because they anticipate having the votes in the House (and the support of enough of the Senate) for Noem, but not for Trump himself.

      OTOH, this gives Trump a second shot at a new person. He’ll probably nominate Ken Paxton…

        Good.

        Have the vote and force them to vote against impeaching.

        Might as well flush em out now ahead of primaries. There’s more to these votes than winning. It’s been normalized for too long that we shouldn’t have a vote unless it’s guaranteed to pass.

        Make people put their votes out there for everyone to see

          Amen.

          Let them clearly show they support the brutal and oppressive tactics. Then there’s no debate when this is finally over as to who stood up and aho didn’t.

    Just fucking do it already. This is not a “play nice with the other side of the table” scenario.

    They’re invading cities, kidnapping people without due process, sowing violence and fear, intentionally injuring and maiming with “non-lethal” weaponry, macing people in drive-bys for funsies, and straight up killing people in cold blood.

    What the fuck is it gonna take democrats? Seems like no bridge is too far for you clowns. This shit is why I’m registered independent despite being liberal. I don’t feel represented. At all.

    Impeachment is one thing. Ms. Noem needs to see some criminal charges, as do numerous members of DHS, ICE, CBP. So let’s draw up some charges, please. Ones that will stick like glue to this ‘basket of deplorables’.

    I mean, that piece of orange shit got impeached twice and is still the president.

    Just grab them and guillotine them.
