You know who doesn’t care and isn’t looking for expertise? The entire GOP.

Sounds like Trump.

Trump is a convicted felon. Of course he’s going to lie and cheat. Trump couldn’t even get a job at Home Depot with a felony charge. MAGA made him the president.

luvragdoll.bsky.social•37 days ago

Dear Mr. Litman, Unfortunately, MAGA and the general public doesn’t understand how the three branches of government works. My MAGA 54yo. brother thinks whatever he says, must be true. Not to mention, he’s a well paid foreman in construction union. Trump has dumbed down how the government works.

mariafartaroma.bsky.social•37 days ago

You vastly overestimate Democrats.

energetic-nova.bsky.social•37 days ago

You under estimate the power of house speaker

nmyopinion345.bsky.social•37 days ago

Don't forget that during Trump's first term, he fired the IG who was investigating Mike Pompeo.

lbblaura.bsky.social•37 days ago

Can Trump even be impeached? What about immunity?

mrsratinsky.bsky.social•37 days ago

Impeachment is a political remedy, not a legal one. So immunity doesn’t apply. But the party who controls government currently is broken and corrupt, so impeachment is broken as well.

hapm.bsky.social•36 days ago

Impeach

aeinstein.bsky.social•37 days ago

" I F " Joe Biden and the Courts had done their job in a timely manner, there would have been no IG firings last night!

This is a strategy to kill the federal govt.

Where are the Democrats?

They're in hiding.

bolddemocracy1776.bsky.social•37 days ago

Sorry. No. We don’t need more knowledge of why it’s bad. We need ways to get FOX to communicate it to the patriots who voted for him without understanding what they were going to get.

ebwrite.bsky.social•37 days ago

I’m very frightened. What now. Do we really lose the country in just a few few days?

suzyevans.bsky.social•37 days ago

I’m feeling the same way. They warned us they’d hit the ground running. But their useful idiot has no self control, so I was hoping for chaos slowing them down. All this happening, one headline after another, is putting me into shock. Not a good feeling.

kevindoverde.bsky.social•37 days ago

Harry. Wake up ! After the last 4 year fiasco with you and your pundits telling us Trump this and Trump that. You guys were so wrong. No one cares now. It’s time for us to circle the proverbial wagons. Your recommendations are meaningless. Go back and practice traffic court law

caracase.bsky.social•37 days ago

Ah, but immunity. Thanks scotus.

I promise at some point in the next 4 years. There will be an impeachment acquiry. Well, I bit money on in anyway.

thomasjchirico.bsky.social•37 days ago

I'm getting tired of you attorneys. Who cares? He was already impeached. Twice. Republicans didn't & won't ever vote to convict him. That's another why democrats keep losing elections. All talk, no action. I'm also tired of democrats posting wishlists on social media when they don't have the votes.

artweber.bsky.social•37 days ago

Trump's 1st week:

Frees J6 criminals
Fires IGs (VA, DoD, HUD, EPA, Energy ...)
Leaves Paris Climate Accord & WHO
ICE raids
Ends DEI
Ends health communications from CDC, NIH
Ends cancer research

MORE abuses coming as Trump seeks kingship.

Resist!

So these losers control all of the government. So everything from January 20th forward is their fault and we need to remind these navel gazers of it everyday

He hasn't stopped the war, he hasn't brought gas down, he hasn't lowered the price of eggs. FAIL

tommi53.bsky.social•37 days ago

He’s immune from everything. Luckiest man in the world and no one is stopping him. He is above the law. Thanks American cult members

martinrayner.bsky.social•37 days ago

If indeed. If Dems had any balls whatsoever, there’d be calls for impeachment whether they controlled the House or not. Aside from a few notable exceptions like AOC, it’s “Silence of the Lambs” on that side of the aisle of late.

nlh2.bsky.social•37 days ago

Where are the Dems' leadership?

martinrayner.bsky.social•37 days ago

Busy elsewhere, it seems...

nlh2.bsky.social•37 days ago

Time to read February 1933 by Uwe Wittestock about the six weeks following Hitler's being named Chancellor. That's all it took to get to his total control of Germany, and he did it following the rules.

martinrayner.bsky.social•37 days ago

Well aware, thanks. Don’t make me photograph my library of books on the subject.

nlh2.bsky.social•37 days ago

Any others you'd recommend?

martinrayner.bsky.social•37 days ago

A heavy lift, but this is my fave go-to:

crystalsw.bsky.social•37 days ago

Not really a good look. Metaphorically, more than burgers and brats are being cooked these days and it's biz as usual for dems in D.C.

martinrayner.bsky.social•37 days ago

Agreed. They are, as is so often the case, a huge disappointment. Similar dynamic in many ways to supporting a perpetually losing sports team.

crystalsw.bsky.social•37 days ago

They need to turn it all over to the younger reps and senators and old ones, like Schumer, Pelosi, etc., need to go.

martinrayner.bsky.social•37 days ago

Despite (or perhaps because) being an old fart myself, the gerontocracy cannot be gone fast enough, imo. Thanks for your service, yadda yadda, don’t let the door hit you on the way out. A generational reboot is desperately needed.

speedthrills.bsky.social•37 days ago

[insert photo here of Newsome hugging Trump yesterday]

sosayu.bsky.social•37 days ago

There should still be cries for impeachment. Dems shouldn’t let his lawlessness be normalized just because they don’t have the power to stop it.

granyk.bsky.social•37 days ago

Agreed: what is said here needs to be shouted and recorded in the congressional record.

fgw.bsky.social•37 days ago

Impeachment is a hollow threat. The 30 day notification requirement is a formality in this environment, the Trump administration is the Senate. Can any law suit to block it not end up dismissed as moot?

speedthrills.bsky.social•37 days ago

Capital has purchased our government and they will do with it what they want. The US is now a corrupt oligarchy, a mafia state.

darkestsophie.bsky.social•37 days ago

They should STILL be calling for impeachment. Being the n the minority has never stopped the GOP from being pests

tree26.bsky.social•37 days ago

Dems can and should file articles of impeachment.

kuszmahal.bsky.social•37 days ago

As far as I’m concerned they should at least introduce the articles even if it’s a moot point.

williamwillyloman.bsky.social•37 days ago

Correct! Time to launch thoughtful, attention grabbing, and effective MAGA-style attacks!

kuszmahal.bsky.social•37 days ago

And I just wrote my Congressman stating exactly that!

crystalsw.bsky.social•37 days ago

That's why dems' silence over firings and a host of other things drumpf has done already is infuriating! The democratic party needs to grow a freakin' spine and push back. At the least Stand. The. Hell. Up. And. SAY. SOMETHING!!!

lawlesssouls.bsky.social•37 days ago

It’s also a violation of federal law.

My god we’ve never seen a man this corrupt in American history.

biggusd.bsky.social•37 days ago

LOL. the democrats held the house in 2018-2022. The senate 2020-2024 and they did nothing to expose the corruption from the first 4 years. We can't expect a bunch of 80 year olds to have the energy and drive to fight.
We need leaders like AOC, Raskin and Crockett to give new inspiration.

llamagogo.bsky.social•37 days ago

Agree ..dems are still living in the good old days when civility and governing norms were followed..since the influx of Jim Jordan’s and josh Hawleys the youthful dems need more of the podium..Connelly, Nader, Blumenthall..need to step aside

19175biblioed.bsky.social•37 days ago

There would be an impeachment inquiry on every decision

greyback.bsky.social•34 days ago

Timid mainstream media are afraid to tackle every lawless act because they are billionaires too, gdi! It's going to take mass protests and that means organizing. It won't happen until "groceries" go wAy up.

pgpg123.bsky.social•37 days ago

This has to be fought!! He cannot get away with this.

kingfisher2025.bsky.social•37 days ago

With a felon in the White House, a drunken slob as head of defense, and that bunch of greasy greedy oligarchs whispering in the Don ‘s ear about their latest scheme to crush the masses, impeachment seems like a quaint ineffectual 18th century notion. Nope, it’s not about principles anymore, Harry.

chosenknight.bsky.social•37 days ago

STFU, it’s a new administration thing.

starviper117.bsky.social•32 days ago

Amazingly blind of you that you don't see the difference. It's about how it was conducted you dunce.

One followed the law (30 days plus reason to congress) and one didn't (immediate firings with no warnings or justifications).

theblueline.bsky.social•37 days ago

Is there no hero left out there to fight for America? Have all history’s heroes ended?

laurajtreetalker.bsky.social•37 days ago

1-the school-yard bully enacts revenge, on anybody he believes has wronged him. 2-pays guys who bought the office with tax breaks and regulation removals. 3-THOSE guys, fed up with the childish b.s., remove him, one way or another.

sherylcitygirl.bsky.social•37 days ago

Facts remain that Dems don’t control the house and starting an impeachment inquiry just fuels trumpism and goes nowhere. Personally think it is imperative for Dems to learn plain speak and go everywhere using a megaphone talking in real terms what trump is doing and how it will affect the people.

jdclifford.bsky.social•37 days ago

But the Senate would never vote to convict #Felon47 just like last 2 times. They have no spine (to put it mildly).

#RuleofLaw is slowly going the way of the public pay phone. ☎️

He will be out of office eventually or may do something so criminal during his term to impeach & convict him. 🤞🤯

dcjohnson.bsky.social•37 days ago

Edwin Stanton.

Let’s get it done this time!!!

joshlawless.bsky.social•37 days ago

With Repugs nowadays they consider having a D next to your name an impeachable offense.

garyach.bsky.social•37 days ago

Isn't what he has done subject to the "duties" immunity granted him by SCOTUS?

mayorofslotrocks.bsky.social•37 days ago

And, if Democrats controlled the House, Pelosi and the geriatric leaders would block any impeachment talk.

caricarala.bsky.social•37 days ago

But Senate won’t convict. And we won’t control Senate again for a long time

basiccitygirl.bsky.social•37 days ago

in my 32 years of selling tech to Feds in DC we all lived in mortal fear of IGs. What happened to courage, doing your job? They went mostly MIA in his first term. Tragic.

jabbanobadda.bsky.social•37 days ago

Didn't Reagan do something similar when he took office in 1981? Were there cries for impeachment from the Democratically-controlled house at the time?

chosenknight.bsky.social•37 days ago

So did Obama, missed your outrage.

jabbanobadda.bsky.social•37 days ago

Can you remind me how many IGs Obama removed?

lukeywalsh.bsky.social•37 days ago

Cry for impeachment anyway.
