    Impeach and Remove. See, I’ve learned impeachment is toothless without that second bit, have to be very specific with expectations.

      This time, Congress could stop blowing the cheeto and have him removed. You know, one of the branches keeping the others in check. I know it ain’t likely, but a man can dream.

        At this point they are all so complicit in his crimes that that will never happen, because it will implicate them as well.

      Yeah, and the lesson is “I can get away with literally fucking anything because Congress is run by a bunch of limpdick imbeciles, fascist enablers, and fascists”

    I don’t support impeachment. I support his demise.

    Reading his obituary will be more celebrated by me than my own birthday.

      You ever see those memes where the killer comes into the house, but can’t find the victim. So the killer does something akin to "shave and a haircut two bits…

      You don’t have to kill these people. But you have a duty to revoke their right to vote.

    Republicans in the Senate are terrified he’ll wreck their careers. I genuinely don’t know what it would take for him to be removed, besides his MAGAt supporters actually calling to have him out of office (we’re past the point of reason). Though, most are too stupid to know when they’re getting screwed until the bill is served.

    Step 1: Vote for Trump.

    Step 2 (less than six months later): Support impeaching Trump.

    What’s up with this group of people? Were they expecting something different?

        I think a lot of it is cultural a bit? I’ve seen interviews and these are Republican voters for like years and years and would never consider voting otherwise.

          culture does effect this not all trump voters are the same some absolutely do know exactly what they are voting for others don’t this even includes some lifelong republican voters. a lot of Americans treat politics as a team sport and don’t even know a lot of the policies they are actually supporting when they vote republican and when asked about specific issues they may have a more progressive stance than the republican party does.

          a lot of people don’t really think about politics or actively read the news I think ignorance is a large part of what got trump into power (and how republicans stay in power). trump says he is going to fix everything and the democrats are telling them that the economy is doing great actually but they are still negatively impacted by things like inflation to someone who isn’t paying attention trump might seem better because at least he acknowledging their economic struggle and is saying they will do something to fix it.

          there are also a lot of people who just didn’t like either candidate and thought trump would be slightly better and voted for him these are probably the trump voters who want him impeached right now.

            I felt this was a bit of failed messaging on the Democrats. I think they did point out some of the struggles but when talking about the economy and immediately pointing to stock market highs when the cost of living has sharply risen very recently doesn’t connect.

            Trump’s magic is that he has verbal diarrhea and it’s kinda like an empty slate where you take whatever you want from his speeches.

      Bring back the fair doctrine act that Ronald Reagan got rid of.

          I remember something about that during the Clinton years, but I can’t recall what it’s about.

            It allowed corporations to buy up all the media outlets they wanted, leading to homogenization of content and elimination of voices that corporations find offensive. On The Media podcast did a miniseries about it called The Divided Dial, which was nice to hear because I had been ranting about it for years but it seemed that nobody else was paying attention. I think it’s on YT, but search and ye shall find

              Thanks for the info. I guess Clinton is equally as responsible as Reagan for the calamity we are facing today.

              What are your thoughts on what should be done to return sanity to media?

                Time to kill every fucking one of those goddamn Nazi pieces of shit Clinton actually campaigned as the first Democratic president to embrace Reagan’s neoliberalism. It’s been a downhill slide ever since. At this point sanity can only be restored through violence, both against the current Nazi regime and against the septuagenarian neoliberals who have a White knuckle grip on the Democrat party

    Blah, blah, blah.

    Most people supported the impeaching the fat fascist in his last term too and it went nowhere because Republicans, independents voted the hard R.

    And what’s different now? Not a damn thing. This will go nowhere outside of calls from the current Democratic leadership mewling pathetically and ineffectively for bipartisanship just like last time.

      There is a damning difference for Trump this term and it’s his economic policy. The only thing Magats care more about than Trump is their money.

          Yup.

          We’re seeing some Republicans waver but not enough. Reality is, the only two ways out of this shit:

          1. We miraculously survive til the midterms and somehow still have a Democracy where Republicans are voted out(lol)

          2. The economy gets so disastrously bad that Republicans literally cannot avert their eyes to it anymore. Like, they lose their jobs, their retirement evaporates, their underage kids must start working to be another source of income just to sustain, and things like healthcare become a privilege for the wealthy. But I also wouldn’t be surprised if on the way there, Democrats get fed up and do something that we cant come back from. And then the Republicans will blame all the economic issues on that key moment, because that is what’s in a Republicans nature. There is a 0% chance they will ever accept any responsibility for this mess.

          Either way, the second Trump won this election, we were all fucked. I had no faith in the 1/3rd of the country that voted for Trump - they were long gone. But those 45% of eligible voters that didn’t vote, and I know you cock suckers are out there, good job - you fucked all of us over.

          And as an aside, its funny to see Florida having discourse about revoking child labor laws. I promise you, what is going to happen is things are going to get so expensive that parents are going to want their kids to be able to work. And that’s how we will lose that worker protection. “I don’t have to pay for a nanny if my 12 year old works a 9-5”. And people like Trump are ecstatic about this outcome.
