This is such a freaking JOKE.

DOJ: Oh, we can't indict the President
@SpeakerPelosi: Oh, we shouldn't impeach the President.

HE'S NOT A GODDAMN KING. He is a criminal. We have LAWS. USE THEM!

@SpeakerPelosi If Republicans in the Senate don't *remove* him, that's on THEM. That's THEIR moral and ethical failure.

CHRIST! I don't *really* think my kids are going to finish all their vegetables, BUT I PUT THEM ON THE PLATE ANYWAY. That's my freaking JOB. TO TRY.

House should do ITS JOB

@SpeakerPelosi And how, HOW IS IT POSSIBLE that the lesson from "the public didn't like impeaching lying blow job man was "don't fulfill Constitutional responsibilities." HOW IS THAT THE LESSON?

Why not: "Don't hypocritically care about blow jobs, but do care about ACTUAL CRIMES!"?

@SpeakerPelosi If Trump can't be impeached, then we've essentially AMENDED THE CONSTITUTION to remove the impeachments clause.

Impeachment is not a TACTIC, it is a RESPONSIBILITY!

@SpeakerPelosi This, by the way, is the EXACT kind of BS that leads prosecutors to not CHARGE cops.

"Oh, sure, he murdered that unarmed black guy but, I don't think I can get a conviction so... screw it, he gets to walk."

JUST DO YOUR JOB.

@SpeakerPelosi Dems: We must vote Trump out, he's an international criminal who has corrupted his office with obstruction and graft.
Voters: So, why didn't you try to remove him from office?
Dems: Meh. Too hard.
Voters: ??? You don't actually have any courage, do you?
Dems: We're the Dems!

@SpeakerPelosi The GOP won't help stop climate change, so should we not try?
The GOP won't like it if gays are treated with dignity, so should we not care?
The GOP doesn't want black people to vote, so should we let them be suppressed.

HOW FAR ARE WE TAKING THE "GOP DOESN'T WANNA" ARGUMENTS?

@SpeakerPelosi Next person who says that the House Dems fulfilling their Constitutional responsibility will "blow up in their faces" if the Senate fails to convict needs to cite, like, ONE FREAKING POLL showing that "having principles" is "bad" for Dems.

@SpeakerPelosi Whatever, it's past Dad O'clock.

I guess I'll just tell my kids: "Hey, there's almost no chance you'll play professional basketball, so there's no point in me taking you outside to shoot hoops."

I want to raise good little Democrats, after all.
