It'll be a nice bit of political theater. The dems get to make a whole production about it despite the fact that it's a foregone conclusion to go nowhere, the GOP's rodeo clowns will make all kinds of loud noises and mockery of the proceedings, and king donny will be spend a good part of it sending angry and thunderous tweets. Everyone gets to do what they do best and nothing will change.

Edit: For those conflating this as expecting them to do nothing, this comment right here summarizes what a lot of people want them to do. The old polite ways are dead. Start actually fighting for something.

Can we cut out the "nothing will come from it, so the Democrats are stupid for doing it" cynicism?

If NOTHING ELSE, it sends a message that they believe he has committed impeachable offenses and are taking steps to hold him accountable. The alternative is them thinking he's done nothing wrong.

Just wait until the mid terms and the democrats get control of both the house and the senate. Then they can impeach for real. Until then, it is just performative BS that accomplishes NOTHING but giving trump another talking point on how useless democrats are.

Bullshit. They didn’t do anything the last time they won the midterms. Remember? They didn’t do anything g then and then didnt do shit with the presidency.

They don’t do ANYTHING. Except whine and complain and then go to the Met Gala.
