Honestly asking: will anything of consequence happen because of this
Posited somewhere that that impeachment may give the usual suspects (Collins, lol, Mitt, double lol) some cover to say they don't want him removed, but can't absolve him without hearing from important witnesses like Bolton. Which likely would further not be good for his defense, not that it will nudge the needles of these psychos.

I like the headlines:
“Trump Impeached for Abuse of Power and Obstruction of Congress” (NYT)
and especially “TRUMP IMPEACHED:Donald J. Trump is the third U.S. president to receive that sanction; he faces a trial in the Senate” (WP)

not exactly, but if the democratic party could not bring itself to do this small thing, it really jettisoned any claim to representing reality.
we can at least now pretend that some people care about things rather than giving up entirely

Tulsi is just keeping her options open. There's more to life than being a member of Congress. There's a tremendous amount of good she could be doing in the world of lobbying, sitting on corporate boards, or becoming a media personality and motivational speaker, you know. Don't forget, she served her country in the military, so she is geared toward selfless national service.

xps to j. - yeah someone I know explained it like this:
"Pelosi cannily announces Democrats won’t refer the adopted articles of impeachment to the Senate until the House learns what the trial rules will be. This allows more time to build political pressure against the most vulnerable Republican senators so that four of them cave and join the 47 Democrats in voting for fair rules."

I was in transit for about three hours today & was listening to the back and forth b/w the house reps, and the fucking republican gaslighting over and over and over and over again made it really hard not to swerve into oncoming traffic. It's nice that he has this pockmark on his 'official legacy,' but CHRIST, this is really where we're at and it is chilling.
House impeachment, in this case, is the equivalent of a verbal warning for a felony.

11th District (Asheville, Hendersonville, Waynesville). The district of Mark Meadows (R), a strong Trump ally who previously led the Freedom Caucus, becomes less overwhelmingly Republican by absorbing all of Buncombe County (Asheville), a liberal area now split between the 10th and 11th Districts. Still, the district remains dependably conservative.

I mean more generally, anyone still attending a Trump rally at this point should be publicly shunned, possibly branded, whatever it takes to ensure that they aren't able to mix back into the crowd when/if the tide turns.

(It's hopefully apparent that this is angry hyperbole rather than a reflection of my genuine sentiments, but it honestly does concern me that we might collectively forget that these people have shown us their true stripes when they no longer have an orange king inducing them to make a public spectacle of their awfulness.)
