I like AOC a lot, but if a POTUS were impeached for a foreign bombing run, then every one in the past 60 years would be impeached. Well, maybe not Carter, but all the rest.

The US Congress has long since abdicated war powers to the President and doesn't even blink about bombings.

@TCatInReality @popcornreel Impeaching more war criminals sounds like a good idea, actually.

Absolutely. I've long thought the US should have a department dedicated to investigating and indicting past administrations (up to the prior 20-30 years).

What better way to keep their hands clean than knowing that, someday, they won't be in power and will be held accountable.

This could be really elegant. I love this idea.

@TCatInReality @jedimb @popcornreel This is exactly why no one in power has any interest in Trump seeing justice. 2021-2024 was spent pussy-footing around Trump’s criminality to avoid setting a precedent that might come back to haunt them or at least restrict their power.
