The event was hosted by the group Elect Democratic Women, which funneled nearly $2.4 million from AIPAC into congressional races this cycle.

      Oh Please. Stop buying their bullshit. They chose their priorities. They’re fucking lazy from doing nothing for so long they think their only job is to be the do-nothing opposition party and vote to kill civilians and send money to Israel. Republicans aren’t our biggest hurdle to progress. Centrist dems have been supporting conservative causes since the 80s. There is always some stupid excuse centrists give while republicans continue to get their legislation passed even when they don’t control the house. It’s been happening for 45 years.

      The tweet in this article said another Democrat saw no such thing.

        Messie himself admitted that he didn’t gave any heads-up to anyone, because last time he did Johnson scheduled vacation.

        There were also 7 Republicans that missed the vote. It looks Johnson called the vote to move it to judiciary committee (essentially looking the bill) as soon as he had the number to block the bill. If the Democrats would show up he would wait for the other Republicans.

        I think it is pointless to work out over this specific thing, when the impeachment in no way would pass without some Republicans voting for it as well and except Messie no one showed a spine.
