What a total clown car the USA is.
…when I was a kid and I watched Mars Attacks! and that scene happened where gramma laughed ass off when the aliens disintegrated congress…I didn’t really get it.
Now I do.
That’s when Congress was relatively popular too.
Bunch of billionaire servants that do nothing. *Nothing good generally on purpose at least.
They’re mad for the right reasons. Even if what they do about it and who they enable is ignorant and wrong. If someone ever manages to break the propaganda and reach them though. Things would get real bad real quick for the political class. They work hard to divide us for a reason.
Yeap. There’s no other way to think of politicians…with very few exceptions, if any.
Any politician who gets inside the system and isn’t raising alarm bells 24-7…who tries to reach across the aisle…who tries to horse trade…who lets their vote get whipped…is too far gone.
How do a few new congress people get anything done without compromise with at least half the rest?
Pork barrel spending, and since they got rid of that there hasn’t been almost any bipartisan stuff aside from things that get unanimous consent.
He should have never been approved for the position of secretary of health to begin with
Yeah that was one of the more fucked confirmation hearings. He should have been held in contempt during the first 5 minutes.
Cool, but where are the files?
They still have 9 more days to scrub them before release
They can only make Sharpies so fast.
I imagine they’re just dipping each page in a barrel of black ink
They should’ve just printed on black paper
We are never going to get the files…
I’d rather some key people get impeached than files. Primarily because I think precisely nothing will happen if they come out.
Oh there’ll be a lot of outrage, of memes, of articles and whatever but nothing much will really happen if it wasn’t happening already. The files are just information after all, and we haven’t done much with the info we have.
It’ll just be like the Panama papers all over again.
I thought the turd took executive action to block their release?
Hey look, a Democrat not in leadership is actually trying!
Looking forward to Jefferies to capitulate and punish the democrat for trying.
Looking forward for Jefferies to say some bullshit like “but he’s a good man”
I’ll never forget the army of dude bro dipshit armchair doctors that took to social media to proclaim RFK as a god of health knowledge solely because he takes roids.
He should be arrested, thrown in prison, and made to hand-write letters of apology to families of all those he’s killed.
It’s probably not at all indicitave of social decay that there are at least 3 failed impeachment attempts every year.
It’s illustrative of Congress’s attitude towards impeachment changing over time.
Also, probably not great that its proving to be an ineffective measure.
It’s a sign that the system needs an overhaul
Don’t have much hope this goes anywhere not even trying and failing predict majority of democrats refuse to even try unfortunately.
Not entirely the point, but your skepticism is not unfounded by any means.
Why?
-Democrat Leadership!
Texas Democrat Al Green told Congress on Monday he was “moving to bring impeachment again” against President Donald Trump. He said that it will be clear why he is making the move when the articles are filed but that it was partly because Trump “doesn’t respect the separation of powers” by speaking against members of the House who do not agree with him.
In a better country, Al Green would be Minority Leader and Hakeem Jeffries would be locked in a boiler room making cold calls to donors where he belongs.
Turning your back on science surely is not impeachable.
Impeachment is s political process, not a legal one. Even a blow job is impeachable apparently.
It doesn’t change your point, but he was impeached for perjury and obstruction of justice, not for a sex act.
The charge was trumped after they pried into his personal life. Do we ask Donald whom he’s fellatioed, and investigate when we don’t like the answer?
That was only specifically because there was a special prosecutor. Appointing one is a way of showing that you’re not stalling the process but it can lead to other less related charges.
…first, anything is impeachable. Tying your shoe wrong is impeachable.
Second, he’s turning his back on the people. He’s endangering people with terrible science. So yeah, when your government position is literally fucking science, then turning your back on it is a bad fucking thing.
I didn’t say it ain’t bad. It’s what the doctor/president ordered though, is it not?
He serves the people before the President, who he is knowingly endangering. Therefore the people have a right to impeach him. There’s a little phrase important to American democracy, “For the people, by the people.” I believe it applies here.
The letter of the law is worth as much as the paper it’s written on. And what modern society bases it’s governance on a collection of phrases?
they totally can’t tell i don’t know how to smile
Crazy glued his cheeks to his teeth.
Where have we seen this before?
I can’t tell the difference when people post pictures of Leland Palmer.
I think we have learned that impeachment is pointless.
I would rather see representatives bring articles of impeachment, even if it’s hopeless, than sit there with their thumbs in their asses.
Impeachment only matters if they enforce it. They won’t, even assuming it passes.
It’s theoretically possible that an asteroid could hit a gathering of GOP senators shortly before the impeachment vote, skewing the demographics of the Senate enough to convict.
Wouldn’t you be missing a quorum then?
AFAIK, the affected senators vacate their seats. A quorum is 50% + 1 of occupied seats. When an asteroid falls on 30 GOP senators, a quorum is 36 and a supermajority is 47, not 51 an 67.
Don’t give me hope like that.
Seriously. It did nothing last time.
So you suggest doing what, specifically?
All of my suggestions tend to get me banned.
Probably because they’re so helpful
So you’ve got nothing. Moving right along.
but impeachment is nothing.
The fundamental problem is the USA does not have serious laws to address corruption or gross incompetance in government.
Not gonna argue the point with ya. And all we’re doing here is yapping, with nothing of substance to offer, right?
Well…y’all stayed home last election…soo…
lol you guys already tried this! And it did nothing! Like by all means apply pressure but don’t expect a different result, and then be bitchy to people who point that out.
Learning from mistakes is a bad thing to them.
Love your username.
Don’t give up so easy. We all know how much it sucks to see this trash never face proper repercussions for their actions, but we can’t just accept that or think not voting for slightly better people will do nothing.
We need to keep making incremental changes for the benefit of all of us and it takes time. Or I guess revolution, but that’s not going to happen and we shouldn’t count on it.
Revolution won’t happen with that attitude either. You don’t give up yourself friend. I’m going to keep voting for the least fucked up person, but I’m also not going to pretend it’s actually making a difference when I see whats going on.
