In reply to the discussion: House Democrats furious as congressman launches 'waste of time' impeachment proceedings against Trump [View all]lees1975

If we'd had this kind of movement in 2021, when we had control of both Houses, we would not be here now.

Indeed it is a waste of time. It will go nowhere. Better to focus our efforts where they will make a difference.
