Vance at least knows how to abandon any principle he pretended to hold five minutes ago if his position is threatened. He’d be a president who would be nice and meek if he saw trump handcuffed, backbone of warm jello.
Oh, I’m not endorsing him in any way, and yeah, he definitely would be, would require constant handling to keep him from crumbling to foreign powers and fascists who hide behind the throne like Murdoch or Bannon. And I don’t trust him at all, he’s never held a position that wasn’t self-serving.
Because the House wont adopt articles of impeachment unless a few Republicans come to their senses but even then wouldn't pass Senate vote. They control too much now unless God willing some come back to the human side of this.
Rep Al Green is already drawing up impeachment papers, but that's just ceremonial. He's already twice-impeached and look where we are. GOP doesn't care about legality or morality. Also, its not just him making these decisions, we'd have to get rid of the whole admin. Project 2025 in effect.
They did investigations and impeachment during his first administration and look where we are now. It emboldens his supporters. Besides, there are not enough votes to impeach with Republicans controlling Congress.
It's truly a shitty situation. Democrats in the House and Senate know what he's doing is unconstitutional, but as the minority party in both chambers they have very few tools at their disposal to do anything about it.
The simple answer is the Gross Oligarch Party (GOP). They are the majority in both the House & the Senate & are the only ones who can move impeachment of Puppet tRump through the process.
Invisibility is weapon =delay exposure. Is there time? We are seeing steps toward CEO dictatorship Vance +musky's muse Curtis Yarvin, laid out: begin w no limits, act ultra-crazy dictator right away, trigger protests, Martial Law. Random crazy breeds uncertainty, a moving target, +helplessness.
You came across my thread and I had to follow after I read your profile text "The hottest places in hell are reserved for those who, in times of great moral crisis, maintain their neutrality.
Dante" As you can see by my name, I believe this strongly! To be silent is to Be Complicit"
The orange one has too much dirt on most of the GOP, so they all must obey or find embarrassing videos released to the public. They are too afraid to do what is best.
The American people gave him a clear mandate when he was elected by winning popular and electoral votes. He is literally doing EXACTLY what he's been campaigning on for months. Liberals are so insane. Nothing he's doing is illegal. His orders can be challenged through court system. Otherwise, 😭 more
1.5% is no mandate, especially with help of richest person in the world, who also owns one of most powerful social media platforms. Yes it IS ILLEGAL which is why a court just blocked him. PS Your data isn't any more safe than ours, your skies aren't safer, and terrorists don't attack only liberals
Really? Twitter, Facebook, IG along with major media companies literally COLLUDED with the government to silence Americans and suppress negative news about Biden leading up to the 2020 election. Don't even get started on the Russiagate hoax funded by the Democrat party
You need to study how government works. The president holds the same constitutional power as Congress. Just because you disagree with an executive order doesn't make it illegal. One single federal judge CHALLENGING an executive order doesn't make it illegal. Use your brain
No, you need to know how it works. Congress is control of the budget.These are congress appointed funds.He cannot just stop them.And if he could, then why are republican judges stopping him
You have to pick your moment, otherwise impeachment will help Trump not hinder him. We don't want to help Trump. A bad impeachment now might preempt a telling one later. When he gets some adverse court cases showing overreach, and there are inflationary pressures, impeachment will be powerful.
For the same reason a felon who couldn't get a job at McDonald's became president. They have all the Democrats too scared to fight. Either they have some dirt on them or have threatened them or have bought them. Dems and Repubs have had the same owners for quite some time now.
Republicans won't convict him, but the hearings would educate the American public about what a billionaire is doing and how it affects them. Half the population thinks this coup is a good idea because they're ignorant.
Did U ever stop to consider a significant portion of voters are so ignorant of basic principles of a Constitutional Republic, they’d ditch Constitution & rule of law in a heartbeat in favor of siren song of authoritarian rule?
MAGATs already KNOW DT’s a tyrant: they WANT to be ruled by a dictator.
Most people dont even know this is a Democratic Republic. They espouse the BS that this isn’t even a democracy it’s just a Republic and nothing else so the constitution doesn’t matter.
I ask MAGATs who their Senators or State Reps are & who their Governor is, asking them if they’re legitimately elected since time I checked, they were elected by winning popular vote (ie direct democracy), where whoever wins most vote wins the race (vs electoral college, where electors can override
popular vote & become “faithless electors” , doing so in name of preventing a tyrant from seizing power).
MAGATs are so horribly confused on how it all works, they’ll brag over DT winning pop. vote, not even realizing they’re now arguing against the supposed benefits of a Constitutional Republic.
Call your reps. everyday, red and blue. Tell the republicans the constitution isn’t a suggestion. You dont have to be MAGA to tell them you won’t donate or vote for them if they don’t listen. Light up their phones. They are worried about midterms too. Here’s a great free app to find your reps.
The flip side of this question: witnessing his contempt for a rules-based order, how long before the threat of a mass secession from the Union becomes the only moral option remaining, be it legal or not?
Not a Bad idea, but do you think some of those coward do nothing lame ducks with no spines republicans will stand up for what is right, don’t hold your breath, just saying.
We don't have the votes. The dems in the house can try, but they need a simple majority, and then we'd need 2/3 of the Senate to vote to impeach. We couldn't get that even after an insurrection. I hate to be negative Nelly, but we are highly screwed as a country
Nothing will happen in the House either. MAGA Johnson will never allow articles of impeachment to be voted on, and Republicans have the House majority.
It's not we. It's them, and they suck. They're accomplices. We already impeached the piece of shit twice, and republicans mooted it, because they want crime. Crime makes government look ineffective.
They are worried about losing their title, they can see the writing on the wall and they know that the country turned a hard right, a lot of them are getting old and they need the health insurance
We can!
I'm seeing so many negative comments here about not having enough votes for impeachment....maybe but maybe not!
We can't just continue to sit back be afraid and complain! We're Americans- we're tough and we don't give up!!
Becasue THE PEOPLE are not outraged - we need to raise one another UP to demand change. Literally, inspire our friends and neighbors etc to speak up and take action
The republicans. You know. Mitch McConnell's folks. The folks that ignored the evidence twice and didn't vote to convict trump twice. They control both Houses of Congress and either don't care or are too scared to act.
Unfortunately the Congress is led by a tiny majority of craven GOP members who only want to keep their jobs while allowing thousands of dedicated federal employees to be kicked to the curb. If the Dems can win at mid-term, I hope impeachment is still a viable option.
Being that 67 Senate votes are needed to remove in an impeachment trial, & Dems currently hold 48, please tell me the names of 19 GOP Senators who’d suddenly grow a backbone to cross the aisle & join Dems, cutting their own chances of winning reelection in the future.
Not one you can be sure.
And DT doesn't get it's near impossible to impeach a Senator as well.
Just like Judges.
But I suspect the goal is to put judges lives and families in danger.
Magas are less willing to do for DT these days.
But not all and the mentally unstable of them will.
Because he has Congress, the Senate and the Courts filled with his cult. By the time they realize he no longer needs them & eliminates them, it will be too late.
We also need to get interested parties who have standing to push for the discernment of any attorney general or lawyer Zurrer this criminal administration! If we disbar them, they can’t practice law!
We need to identify the two most vulnerable GOP congressman and launch a concerted campaign to shame them and pressure them into voting. Yes, on an article of impeachment if not multiple articles of impeachment! This is the way! The GOP uses dirty tricks all the time it’s time for us to do the same!
We know he has them all compromised, corrupted, cowered and threatened into submission. David Pecker’s Safe from The NationalEnquirer was chock full of Kompromaty goodness! And yes, Dem Operatives should be hiring private investigators to do the same!
Like others have already said, most Republicans would probably be too spineless. But he has to be removed from office, and his whole Cabal with him, the sooner the better.
Watching this in hopeless dread from Germany.
Musk and doge are digging up every corps ever buried by the Dems as ammo to defend against impeachment, this will be reason why they really don't do anything over the next few months and just let Trump do what he likes, it's fear of being exposed
Because that would require the house and senate to hold him accountable, and the Republicans in those bodies have shown us that they will never do that.
Republicans are spineless. Also even if they did impeach/convict him, who will remove him from office? Congress has no enforcement agency. They relied on an independent DOJ for that. Which of course he gutted. We need to rise up as a country, starting with a general strike to shutdown everything.
Beyond impeachment this is treason~ this is drag the orange and everyone who who is involved in this coup out to be brought before the world court for treason.
Musk rodent hasn't just been messing with the US.
Our constitution has some lovely instructions on what to do.
You all handed him the keys either by voting for him or by the delay in convicting him of his crimes before the election in 2016 or after 2020.
it’s too late he has the power, the money and the army. There is no going back without suffering in some way. Take a look at history!
Seriously every day Articles of Impeachment should be filed because every day he commits at least one unconstitutional act and one crime. Enough is enough 😡
Because Republicans control the House and Senate. Mike Johnson will never allow articles of impeachment against Trump to come to the House floor for a vote. Even if somehow it did get voted on and passed, there are not 67 votes in the Senate to convict and remove him.
We need to DO something. How can we all just sit and watch this happen? No one tried to question election results when evidence was clear that Musk changed results in key states.
Why not?? Just so could say we aren’t like they were in 2020?
Don’t have 218 “yes” voters in the House or 67 in the Senate.
Or, for that matter, thousands who would invade a government building with bear spray, tasers, baseball bats, flagpoles, malice and the belief that no one’s voice matters except ours.
Someone needs to wake up the Republicans and remind them what happened to 100's of government officials under stalin. That is their ultimate destiny under trump.
We might be able to impeach Trump if Democrats get senate and house majorities in the midterms. A Democratic senate would convict him and prevent him from running again. Until then, forget it, sadly.
All in the GOP and on cahoots with them need to be impeached and/or arrested. State AGs should issue warrants for Elon’s IT boytoys. Or … perhaps a Democracy-loving nation could invade and occupy us to restore democracy.
Why can’t “We the People” instead of Congress impeach him. Evidently the men & women we voted into representatives & senate aren’t capable at working for our needs against the President’s stronghold, we should becc bc able to impeach him OURSELVES!!
Because that worked so good the last time. 🙄
Look, the reality is that the democrats need to be getting the national guard and as many military personnel and generals on their side as possible and prepare to take back our democracy by force. These robber barons don't give a fuck about our laws.

Would Vance be any better?
Articles of impeachment are going to be introduced per Al Green of Texas

My guess: it is obvious that Trump is a Russian asset. My guess is that he gives them Ukraine on a platter and another country provides proof.
They’re all nazis now.

I've heard people say that you can shit in one hand and wish in the other one and see which one fills fastest.
I just want to throw that handful of shit right in that fat, ugly face
Unfortunately, Ms. Farrow, that is going to be a tall order at this time.
Thank you so much for your participation in the resistance. Your posts are greatly appreciated. 🙏🏼
Not one of them has spoken up in defense of our Constitution. Every last one of them is a coward and an oath-breaker.
