Support among House Democrats for impeaching Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem is skyrocketing, nearly doubling in the last week to 100 co-sponsors.

That’s an unprecedented level of support for an impeachment effort during President Trump’s second term, with lawmakers who have bristled at the topic in the past now warming to the idea.

Kelly is urging Republicans to get on board with her efforts — even as no GOP lawmaker has come close to expressing support for Noem’s impeachment.

“As Secretary Noem continues to lie, obstruct Congress, and violate people’s civil rights, the support for her impeachment only grows,” she said.

      Impeach Trump?

      So we can go through that comedic charade? With no leverage?

      Call for a general strike until the entirety of ICE is abolished, long with other demands. Shut the entire system down. Break the economy if need be. Snap it’s neck. It’s not like it serves any one but the billionaires.

      Then impeach Trump.

          That was tried too, but he turned his head, got a bloody photo op, and used a dead firefighter’s uniform as a prop. I don’t think there will be another opening. But it’ll probably happen naturally during one of his televised cabinet meeting naps.

            As much aspirin as he takes he’d have bled out of it was real. It was faked, therefore it has not been tried.

              It was fucking ketchup. There was no mark, no scab, no scar, a week or two later when he took that stupid gauze off.

              If an actual bullet grazed his cheek like that, it would have taken half his face as well as his ear. The whole thing was a set-up.

        A general strike will NEVER happen. People are already afraid to lose their jobs, their homes and food on the table. You will not find numbers great enough to make a change. Hell, you can’t even get these bozos to vote let alone take to the streets and potentially lose their jobs.

              Ahh the cynics prayer…

              It could never happen…

              And I even if it is happening, it won’t make a difference…

              And even if it does make a difference, it’s not enough of a difference…

              And even if it does result in change, those changes won’t last…

                Ok, let’s have a chat next week then when Trump declares war on whatever country and deploys more ICE assholes to Minneapolis. And the week after that, and the month after that until he dies.

                The US had a chance at striking a year ago November and they chose to stay home and do nothing. If given the choice again, they will stay home and do nothing. To hope and pray otherwise is delusional regardless of your witty rendition of the narcissists prayer.

                The world isn’t made up of like-minded internet commenters. There are less people concerned than you think.

      That has been shown to do absolutely nothing. And besides, trump hasn’t been the one making decisions for a while.

      What we need to do is arrest most of the regime for their many openly committed crimes.
