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.

    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.
