• 128 Democrats

    From Aaron Thomas@1:342/200 to All on Tue Jun 24 16:36:22 2025
    128 house Democrats voted to table a bill to impeach Trump for interfering with their friend Iran's nuclear program.

    When I first heard that I thought "Great, they've learned that impeachment of Trump is stupid."

    But then I found out what it means to "table" a bill; it means they're not impeaching him now, but they're also not taking it off the menu. They'll impeach him ("forever") when the time is right.

    But some of the house Democrats are so angry about Trump derailing their nuclear ambition that they've lashed out publicly, like Jasmine Crockett who said "Trump don't decide when to push the button, I decide when!"

    Naw they are just waiting until after midterms, when they regain the majority, God willing they get one in both the House and Senate

    But some of the house Democrats are so angry about Trump derailing their nuclear ambition that they've lashed out publicly, like Jasmine Crockett who said "Trump don't decide when to push the button, I decide when!"

    Their nuclear ambition? Which one would that be, sir? I thought we already had nukes.....

    A majority in the senate isn't all it's cracked up to be.

    The Democrats want nukes for Iran.

    The Democrats want nukes for Iran.

    Let's see (Firing up Google)..

    Iran began its nuclear weapons program in the late 1980's

    Presidents from the late 1980s onward.

    Regan 1981 - 1989 (Can't put much blame on him, he was President for only a year or 2 in this block, and most likely senile.), but for a numbers figure lets say (2).

    Bush Sr. 1989 - 1993 (4)

    Clinton 1993 - 2001 (8)

    Bush Jr. 2001 - 2009 (8)

    Obama . 2009 - 2017 (8)

    Trump I - 2017 - 2021 (4)

    Biden - 2021 - 2025 (4)

    Trump II - 2025 - (I could give .5, but due to circumstances lets not include this term).

    We have in office while Iran built a nuclear weapons program by party.

    Republicans (18 Years) - Democrats (20)

    Okay, so the Democrats had 2 more years in office that they could have done something. Though keep in mind the Democrats also made agreements with Iran that sucessfully put their nuclear ambitions on hold in 2015 (During Obama's presidency.). The US withdrew from that agreement in 2018 at the direction of Donald Trump.

    There was talk that the Biden administration might attempt to renew the agreement, but nothing came to fruition.

    Taken as a whole.. I would say your statement that the Democrats "WANT" Iran to have nukes it 100% poppycock..

    Take the information for what it is worth, I could care less if you discard it out of hand. Though looking at it through the eyes of history, the United States has had failed policy regarding Iran since the CIA and British Intelligence had the democratically elected Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddegh overthrown in 1953 after he pushed to have Iran's oil fields nationalized.. OOOPS...

    Oh.. You might want to look at the latest intelligence reports regarding the effectiveness of the recent airstrikes.. Hmm Hmm Hmm.

    It's not subjective. It's the truth:
    "The US Senate 2/3rds rule refers to the requirement for a two-thirds majority vote in the Senate for certain actions."

    Republicans have a simple majority in the senate but they can't do jack because of this rule. Go ahead and hope for a Democrat majority in the next election if you want, but unless a significant # of Republican senators are defeated, they won't be doing jack with their simple majority either.

    The Democrats want nukes for Iran.

    Let's see (Firing up Google)..

    That's a bad idea. Google gets people fired up too much as it is.

    When you see something crystal clear, why do you consult with Google for it to tell you something different? If it's cloudy and meteorologists are telling you that a hurricane is headed your way, are you going to ask Google for an alternative reality?

    I am hoping there will be enough votes in both the house and sentate to end this clown show. IE have an successful impeachment and removal from office. Not surprised I actually have to spell things out for you.

    It is called research, and making sure you have facts and sources to either back up your claim. Otherwise you are just stating an oppinion based on feelings. I'd pitty you if I really actually gave a crap.. ;)

    Reading information from webpages isn't "research." You can't use webpages to establish facts unless you're establishing facts about webpages.

    "The Democrats want nukes for Iran." You saw proof of it when AOC and the other waitstaff tried to impeach Trump for delaying Iran's uranium facilities. But then you decided to ask Google "How can I be right when I'm so wrong?" and it gave you bad advice.

    More like they want to make it fade away to save face. Every time they tried to impeach Trump, it only made him more popular.

    1. The Narrative is right.

    You realize that you say nothing of substance in your responses, right?

    Though give this a shot, "How to say nothing at all in as many words as possible." Might end up a best seller.

    And we all KNOW that everything you read on the internet is factual and not
    someone elses opinion based on feelings right? Not sure why you can't see
    it, but you are kind of acting like a child. Sometimes you respond with
    clarity and other times abstrusely.

    Thing is, if you "don't give a crap" why are you even in the conversation?

    Have an excellent day!

    Democrats are still on a mission to take Trump down. The slightly more intelligent (but still ignorant) ones realize that this is not the big opportunity that they've been waiting for.

    Crockett who said "Trump don't decide when to push the button, I deci when!"

    I swear that Crockett is giving AOC a run for her money for "Stupidest Congresscritter".

    Finally, a competition that one of them can actually win.
