Hey guys, there is a lot of troll baiting in this thread. You've been doing a great job of not falling for it, so I'm not going to lock it. Newbies to this thread, check the times of when it was made and if it brings up the distant past a lot, those are good clues. Leave one comment at most to save everyone's sanity.

Didn't they dangle an "impeachment" so many times the last time it literally stopped meaning anything? I see thru this game and I ain't buying it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago

It worked so well the first two times. Why not try again?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 days ago

This will totally work.

And yes, I know its bait.

If we have to rely on the house or senate to impeach him, that’s not going to happen.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 days ago

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.

We've had first impeachment, yes. But what about second impeachment?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago

We also had that! What about third impeachment?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 days ago

They had a better chance of impeaching him for Jan 6th for actual insurrection than they do this time. Why? Because there are so many legal loop holes with the War Time Powers Act and the 2001 Authorization of The Use of Military Force. These loopholes were used by both Bush Jr. and Obama for various justifications for air strikes so the precedent is already there. Don't get your hopes up and chalk up it up political theater. It's also a distraction from what's going on. Thanks again to Twatter being that megaphone of "HEY LOOK OVER HERE!"

We haven't declared war since WW2. Everything has been AUMF, which can be done within 60 days retroactively. As always, the government is checks and balances, so if Congress refuses to exercise its powers and let the executive do whatever, it's a moot point.

I think it'd only lead to impeachment if Congress wants us gone within 60 days and Trump refuses, continues without an AUMF, and then Congress actually had the balls to push back at that point.

But if someone is more familiar with the legal processes involved here, please do correct me or add to this.

Donny will never get out of this one!!!

Will it even matter?

If that dude knew how to fucking aim

For what? For doing what the USA does best?

Trump gave himself a little war, as a treat

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 days ago

"Himself". Hilarious. The plan from Israel has been in motion for decades. By this time next year, Iran will be covered in US bases, completely de-militarized, and a puppet installed. Zelensky will then be able to get the good weapons again.

Oh, you mean like how he was impeached in his first term in office and nothing changed?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Both impeachments were acquitted by the Senate after the House passed them.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Point taken, but I don't see it going any differently this time around.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 5 days ago

Nope. Its theater.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Sorry, you can only be impeached for getting a beej (although that was creepy af from an intern) or wearing a tan suit.

Starting wars just won't do it.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 days ago

Unfortunately, I don't know if anyone would be willing to give Trump a BJ, and if they did, they certainly wouldn't admit it in court.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 days ago

So? Nothing will ever come with it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago

A sraight jacket would be a better solution.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 5 days ago (2 children)

Oop, that's another impeachable offense in the pile.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

100 impeachable offenses you must try before you die

[–] [email protected] 8 points 5 days ago

Yep just add it to the list
