Which the Democrats should absolutely fucking do regardless of whether The Republicans will vote to convict, which of course they won’t, but the point is, we can’t just sit back and do nothing. We have to at least show that we’re willing to take the steps that are necessary to dissent.
There aren’t enough Democrats in Congress to impeach him.
They could at least introduce the resolution. It’s not a true win, but at least they don’t continue to be seen just lying down and taking it.
Mike Johnson won’t bring it to the floor.
It can be introduced as a “privileged resolution“ which bypasses Johnson’s ability to do that. That said the GOP still has a number of options to table it, or refer it to committee, but at least that bypasses that fuckwad Johnson. This fucking government I swear to God. Can we just please have a constitutional convention already?
I’m not particularly confident that a constitutional convention would end positively. You need 3/4 of state legislatures to agree to any change and Republicans are much more likely than Democrats to reach that threshold. The most realistic outcome is probably an amendment banning DEI initiatives or corporate tax rates above 10% or some shit like that.
Impeach Johnson, too. Throw them all out via the 14th amendment. I’m so tired of the republicans being consistently the worst people on earth.
Might as well. They don’t seem to be doing anything else.
Or they’d be seen as pursuing a pointless and performative act they knew wouldn’t work.
You can’t win with people who want you to fail.
Doesn’t matter.
Every impeachable offense needs to be processed. The time the GOP spends defending him is time they aren’t spending actively destroying the world.
Plus, we need to have a clear and firm record of who supports his actions.
even if there were, the gop would never convict him, the last 2 times showed us that.
I remember all it took was some jizz…
To be fair, Clinton did take advantage of an intern in a relationship where the power dynamic meant there could never be meaningful consent, and then he lied about it under oath.
Two things can be true: it was a political hit job where they were just out to get Clinton on anything they could. But also, Clinton did a shitty thing, was caught, then lied about it.
trumps never done anything shitty and/or lied about it
lmao
LOL, compare to now having a convicted felon as president, lied about it, then already committed several crimes after being elected and keeps lying about it. Who cares about a blow job…
Now we have an actual cum stain running this shit show
Cum stains can be washed out of you get em soon enough, but this rag could be frisbee’d at a wall and it’d shatter at this point.
Cum stain? It was a full term pregnancy that gave birth to a big giant orange piece of shit.
Remove Trump now!
“hey buddy, you know how you’re the president of a country here, right?”
“Yes I’m the most beautiful, fluctuant, prescient president of all time, so says the people. I don’t know if it’s true, but that’s what people are saying”
“Uh… Ok? Anyways, how would you like to be president of a whole fucking planet?!?”
“This is what the world needs, a leader to take it into dysplasia. Who else could do it but me? This new one world government and state will need a name. Well call it fantasia, and it will be wonderful.”
“Sure, sure, fantasia sounds beautiful. We’ve already built you the thrown right here. Strap in, your sovereignty”
“I’m going to turn this wasteland, into, you know, a utopia for all rich white Americans”
“Uh huh” tightens seat harness “you snug Mr. President?”
“Well I think you’re a loser because this is too tight. You’re fired, get me someone who can make this right.”
“Oh I am making it right, sir, just give me a second, I apologize.” Leaves capsule

lemmy.world has the reputation of spinning around an answer and never getting to it.
AIPAC is in charge of both reds and blues when it comes to foreign policy and even some parts of the internal policy.
Can we impeach him out of a cannon?
Into the sun?
That would take too much energy, it would be simpler to send him into a geostationary orbit.
I’m not saying we should actually make a realistic attempt (according to various videos of actual rocket scientists, it’s virtually impossible anyway), but we could “try”.
You know, as a treat.
Sounds like you want a destabilized orbit that results in re-entry
Cheaper to just “forget” to set up the ramp and let him faceplant the tarmac getting out of a plane.
I’m just saying, soon he’ll be flying on a plane that was “free”.
How about the next Starship test?
Isn’t the president allowed 90 days before congress is required?
Yes, also he didn’t declare war. Anyone old enough to remember 9-11 knows what is up.
They’re coming right at us, Jimbo!
He can’t declare war, but he also doesn’t need to. Anybody old enough to remember Vietnam knows what’s up.
War, war never changes.
I wish I still lived in the fantasy world where this was plausible.
It still is in many countries around the globe. Please don’t give up hope, it is not a sign of naivety!
Trump has already been impeached.
Twice.
The last time he was president.
It doesn’t matter anymore.
And became a felon after that.
Shortly before becoming president for the second time.
And winning the popular vote this time.
Allegedly
I haven’t seen any credible allegation to the contrary, and it’s in line with pre election polling…
That’s like, their opinion, man.
Illegally! Amendment 13, Section 3:
No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.
No such vote was held. The disability was not removed. Allowing the tried and convicted insurrectionist Donald Trump to appear on any ballot for any public position, State or Federal, after he was convicted of insurrection against the United States was the beginning of the Constitutional crisis we are now mired in and all of Congress is complicit.
That isn’t what he was convicted of. The charges brought that could’ve made this true were related to the 2023 federal indictment consisting of:
four criminal charges of conspiring to defraud the government and disenfranchise voters, and corruptly obstructing an official proceeding.
However, on November 25, 2024 Judge Tanya Chutkan dismissed the case without prejudice.
The felonies he was convicted for were related to the March 2023 state indictment “The People of the State of New York v. Donald J. Trump” which consisted of:
34 criminal charges of falsifying business records in the first degree related to payments made to Stormy Daniels before the 2016 presidential election.
At no point has he been convicted of having:
engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof.
He was convicted of being a fraudster, con-man, liar and sex pest but not for being an insurrectionist. This isn’t a “illegal” problem, it’s a classic case of dual tier justice and the consequences thereof. The justice system is beyond fucked, and has been for a long time. Solutions will not be coming from that line of reasoning.
i hate the fucking united states
I don’t think that’s true, I hope you just hate our leadership. And trust me, many of us here do as well.
The cop at the protest yawns, unslings his 40mm LMT™ weapon, loads another rubber bullet into it, looks around the crowd for another reporter, aims, and shoots her in the head.
Idealistic youngling: “Wow, that cop just shot a woman in the head with a rubber bullet, he could totally be charged for that!”
After “shoots her in the head” you forgot “poses for the cameras”
Americans are cowards. Period.
The constitutional right to be ARMED TO THE TEETH and they’re all pissing their pants in fear of… losing their jobs? They literally sat there, watched the worst of humanity seize power, and spent their political capital trying to limit their ability to fight back.
They deserve whatever they get.
It certainly looks as though they’ve pretty thoroughly shat the bed. I suspect they fell for their own propaganda about all the freedom and how they’re the best country in the world etc, forgot that those are just words.
To Americans, their national heroes are just Disney characters without families, jobs, or dreams who never actually had anything to lose and whose victories were guaranteed.
not with the house in the hands of republicans.
Best hope there is enough democracy left in the US to swing it back to the Dems in 2026.
And even then, without a comfortable majority for the Dems in the senate it will just be another impeachment to add to the pile, no conviction.
They don’t call him teflon don for no reason
not with the house in the hands of republicans.
It’s almost like you should do something about those Republicans.
Best hope there is enough democracy left in the US to swing it back to the Dems in 2026.
This is the silliest fucking thing I’ve ever read. Go fight.
I’m not american, nor do i live in america
Then stop giving them cover for their cowardice
swing it back to the Dems in 2026
😲🫵😭
Dont get your hopes up. The democrats have yet to show any ability to regain seats. they’ll likely just swing harder towards Cheney and get rocked again.
Lol, no it isn’t. Ever since Cold War times, the law has been that the president can not only launch missiles, but even deploy troops on the ground, without congressional approval. There’s a limit on how long the troops can be deployed, iirc, but once you’ve started a ground invasion it’s a bit late.
Obviously it’s unconstitutional, but there’s no legal precedent that would say so. If you think this is the first time this has happened, you really need to learn more about history. The US never formally declared war on Vietnam, for example.
Not sure who still isn’t getting this.
There is a literal American traitor in the Oval Office. One who has flagrantly violated the law, and specifically the Constitution, numerous times.
Impeachment is meaningless, as we’ve witnessed multiple times in American history. Impeachment is an acceptable process if the violation is minimal and not repeated. It’s a slap on the wrist. A warning.
We are WAY beyond a symbolic slap on the wrist with no real repercussions. Impeachment is not a valid tool to use in a situation like this. At minimum, we are at the point where there needs to be massive protests like we just saw, repeatedly, until he is removed from office. If that fails, then there needs to be a general strike until he’s removed. If that fails, then he needs to be removed from office by force.
If we can’t manage these things, we will continue seeing the degradation of our freedoms, the collapse of our economy, the destruction of our founding document, signaling the end of our democracy, and the hole we’ll end up finding ourselves in will be one we won’t see this country come out of for the remainder of our lives.
It is time to remove this traitor and his treasonous enablers from their positions of power.
Only impeachment that will matter is a vigilante with better aim
Who cares? He was inoeached before already and it literally did NOTHING
Wake me up when this bullshit is actually over, all this “oohh, THIS will end him for sure!” every week is tiring
I completely agree.
However, this is exactly what he wants. The more tired we all become of his bullshit and the more we wave it away then the more bullshit he pulls, and gets away with.If someone, anyone, had given him any consequences to his actions over the past few decades he wouldn’t be like he is. If just one person took him outside and beat the living fuck out of him then I feel things would be different.
Things definitely wouldn’t be like they are now. They may not be much better, but they would be better.Again, I agree it’s tiring. But I also think we shouldn’t give up.
So I hope you, and anyone who reads this, starts to feel less of “this is tiring!” And more of “this is tiring l… but we can’t let that rich obese orange rapist drag me down and get away with it!”Don’t give up!! Fight him. Pull him up on every single thing and ridicule him.
Fuck it, impeach him every single fucking day; he’s got enough crimes for it. Lock up congress and make the GOP cult show up every day and bend the knee to the orange fascist instead of doing a single thing for the US.
Also people in democratic leadership roles should start prosecuting his minions. ICE arresting legal citizens? Straight to jail. Barring lawmakers from detention facilities? Believe it or not, straight to jail.
Pointing cops at ICE - suddenly I don’t care that US cops are trigger happy
reddit cares
