Despite the dramatic announcement, Green's effort lacks support from Democratic leadership. A senior House Democrat told Axios that Green's impeachment articles would go nowhere.

Democratic Representative Pete Aguilar echoed this sentiment, saying, "This isn't a focus of the Democratic Caucus."

So what exactly is a focus of the Democratic Caucus?

As near as I can tell, their focus is entirely on registering just barely enough tepid opposition to the plutocrats' agenda to avoid looking too much like blatant collaborationists and.... that's about it.

To roll over an play dead and hope that Trump will reap the consequences of his actions at some point. Not the greatest strategy.

It's not going to go anywhere though. That is the truth.

Frustratingly I don't think anyone has an answer to your question.

To say meaningless words while secretly supporting Trump so they can all buy up weakened stocks and put all the blame on Trump.
