Every member of the administration should resign; every Republican in the Senate should demand immediate impeachment and removal. It is not an exaggeration or hyperbole to say that he is an authoritarian bent on destroying American democracy.

President Trump has personally ordered the Justice Department to open an investigation of Democrats' primary ways for raising donations.

It is the third time he has personally ordered an open-ended criminal investigation, each against a perceived political foe.

Instead, every Republican in the Senate - and the House - is either quietly or enthusiastically supporting him.

Yep, time for the Justice Department to resign

Every member of this administration should hang.

This morning, you said he was a "lame duck".

Republicans know what happens to the close associates of dictators. Why don't they think it will happen to them? They can impeach at any moment and STILL get the most right-wing Republican government in decades from Vance or Johnson. https://citizensimpeachment.com/impeachmentarticle/

Not authoritarian. Totalitarian.

A handful of Republicans could vote with Dems and start impeachment hearings (threatening to canvass with Dems and elect Jeffries if the Speaker doesn't accede).

And even that . . . won't happen. So let's leave the Senate out of it, I'm thinking.

Who wants to contribute to an ActBlue Legal Defense Fund?

rosemaryd52.bsky.social•7 days ago

Yes. I saw an Impeach and Remove sign at the protest I was at last week. I might cut to the chase and copy it for the next one.

Why would the Republicans mind that, though?

You need to self destruct and FO. The RotW can do without you

None of them actually care. They think DOJ will find proof of deception

So, yes: objectively correct, and right to continue to publicly insist on this.

But also, for that matter, a good half of GOP senators and three-quarters of GOP representatives should also resign

So are most of the Republicans in the Senate. We’d all like to think that wasn’t the case. But just listen to them.

Assuming Dems regain power at some point, they need to immediately prosecute every Republican who's participating in this treason. No comity, no "look forward look backward", no appointing R special prosecutors. Immediately arrest and try every one of these traitors, seeking maximum sentences.

Ha, assuming

cgrossman.bsky.social•7 days ago

Why write a bunch of "shoulds"? Yes, they should, but we know they won't and you can't shame them into doing what they should.

We need a better answer than hoping the Rs will 'see the light', come to their senses and do the right thing.

US Senators CANNOT be impeached or recalled.

Their only judge is .. the other Senators.
