Not killed. The Impeachment can still procede, they've simply chosen not to do it now when Republicans hold house and senate majorities. The votes needed to remove Trump are 67, meaning you would need 20 GOP Senators.
That's the removal bit.
An Impeachment without removal means fuck all.
Killed. The only way they would vote for impeachment is if trump stopped doing whatever netanyahu wanted.
They all wanted to bomb Iran anyway
They need their heads examined
They need their heads something, to unsociopathy them
Not kill, shelve. Let's be honest, you weren't going to get dozens of GOP votes in the house and 20 in the senate to remove Trump anyways. If you want Trump gone then the only way is helping the DNCs take a huge midterm majority.
Hence why I won’t be voting for my Dem Rep in the next election we may have. Fuck that collaborator bitch.
You think voting independent will help?
I think we’re beyond help.
Exactly. Best we can do is try to limit damage
Maybe those we elect should vote to limit damage then.
Voting for Dems demonstrably hasn't helped. It would be a good idea to try a different tactic
Voting third party has a much stronger track record for not helping a damned thing

I'm just waiting for all those gnashing their teeth at this to turn around and tell me "vote blue no matter who" in a couple of years/months.
I mean, things would be better if we had more Dems in Congress. Definitely not perfect, not even good enough, but slightly better than this shit show.
There might be more stuff you can do in addition to voting that people don't want to discuss or encourage in public channels for a variety of reasons regardless of whether or not they would actually support that kind of stuff, but you may as well also vote if you can.
It'll happen in the midterms, where suddenly we're mesnt to ignore the last 6 years of policies from them and next year they'll let Charlie kick the orange football.
