The system does not work against those that simultaneously run the system and do not recognize the system
Because those previous impeachments really changed things...
For the millionth time, using the system to attempt to fix said system will never change a thing.
Last time, he was out of office, so it was a little gray. This time they don't have that excuse.
But they also aren't going to convince the Republicans to go along with it this time either, and even if they do, we're still stuck with Vance, another anti-democracy turd.
The first impeachment was December 2019. You're right, though. The system is stacked heavily in his favor right now, and getting Trump out isn't going to make everything magically better. Vance and Mike Johnston are next in line, which... isn't good.
Yes and no. They system is designed for sustainability. However it's been 3 elections since we had a chance of fixing it. We had a chance with Obama. But now they have the Supreme Court and gerrymandering. It's an uphill battle.
We need this to be 25 million
250,001 actually!
And my axe!
I also signed the petition.
0.07% of the american population against a senate and house fully in control by the Trump Party.
This is the kind of action that will get stuff done! Internet petitions that have almost never had any meaningful effects outside of literally millions of people signing petitions for extremely tiny issues that have no effect on anyone in power. That will change their minds!
Im sure your democracy is as strong as ever and will fend off this threat.
Fucking idiots.
They could have 1,000,000 signatures. The result will be always the same when the man you are trying to impeach personally owns the military.
If you were in the military would you follow orders that are unconstitutional? Which is to say, an order that requires you to suppress the American people?
I would hope service people would see what is happening and say no. But that's a hope more than anything.
UCMJ obliges members of the armed forces to not obey unlawful orders. Problem is they don't teach law when you're in, and some of this shit can get awfully complicated, and that's excepting the mountains of propaganda.
That's being said, we are fortunately not yet seeing the military of the US being used to suppress American citizens. But maybe tomorrow!
Phew, there's still time! Tomorrow's Sunday though and I usually go shopping. Maybe next week?
Americans still being gullible idiots thinking this will do anything while bad actors a running rampant 🤦♂️
This time it's really really urgent tho. What a clown country
Serendipity makes my point for me.
I can think of few crimes higher than making all our allies distrust us.
Impeachment lost all meaning long long ago
No, it didn't, in the same way that the existence of liars doesn't diminish the meaning of truth.
Half of Americans are fascist partisans. That sucks, but it doesn't mean ethics don't matter, and pretending otherwise is pathetic.
What impeachment is, at it stands, is futile. No system can function as intended when half of the people in it are bad faith actors.
If we impeach, it needs to be Trump and Vance together.
That just gets us the guy who tells his son when he's watching porn
How else would you be able to jerk off together?
IIRC don't the special elections due to presidential appointments potentially put control of the house up for grabs again? It's been a while since I looked
Good for the American people.
Ultimately won't matter. Even if he's impeached (again) he has too many bootlickers/supporters/fear mongers in the Senate to convict him. It simply won't happen.
