Truly mortifying how in the last 1 week the USA and Israel killed 300+ civilians by illegally invading Lebanon, destroyed the Rafi Nai Synagogue in Iran, and threatened Pope Leo in the Vatican, yet per TIME reporting, Democratic leadership is still reluctant to impeach Trump. And to be sure, all MAGA Republicans are complicit too. Congressional cowardice is just off the charts.
Does he need to launch an actual nuke before Congress acts?
@AnarchoNinaWrites @QasimRashid They want Trump to punish us for disagreeing with them.
(And they agree with him a lot.)
@aud @gwynnion @AnarchoNinaWrites @QasimRashid
I’ve always thought of democratic leadership as the kind of girl in the king Solomon story who agreed to cut the baby in half.
Beyond that they would only debate whether to slice sagittally frontally or transverse, then for bonus points, argue you about which piece to take.
@QasimRashid I think it should be obvious that there is nothing he can do that would be bad enough for Congress to give up all the money they pull in from the same donors.
The political class is captive to the 1%. Any ire or action against the political class is misplaced.
We need new leadership in the party.
@QasimRashid at this point we've seen impeachment does not substantially change what happens afterwards, so I don't see why Congress would risk to do the same thing which would trigger personal retaliation, when it wouldn't even stop things becoming worse.
Maybe you guys can fix your system if at some point you get elections or when this autocrat dies, but as it looks now the system fundamentally broken in its current state.
well math, because there's not the votes to win an impeachment, but please make up whatever you'd like
@disorderlyf @QasimRashid You can type in all caps all you want - you can't impeach him, it's just not possible.
But look it's working, you're mad at Democrats saying they are failing because there JUST AREN'T THE VOTES TO MAKE IT WORK --- so Trump gets to stay in power.
This guy said to not vote for Harris. Trump won.
He doesn't care about you or America, this is a trick.
@Simplicator @sofiav @QasimRashid @HakeemG
I mean why bother learning from history.
@Simplicator @joe @sofiav @QasimRashid
They already impeached him twice. Maybe it's time for the idiots to figure it out. We're a political party not a daycare.
[ACTION BELOW] Amidst as well as in the aftermath of the extreme devastation that Hurricane Maria visited upon Puerto Rico, the president left hundreds of people to die and thousands to suffer. He did so out of racist, maliciously purposeful...
@Simplicator @HakeemG wait, you're going to give me an OPINION piece and DEMAND I read it while you ignore the reality (he wasn't removed from office, two impeachments) and he RAISED MONEY on this. You can look it up yourself, you were given links but you're saying that we should have LOST HARDER.
COME ON WAKE UP ALREADY.
@sofiav @HakeemG @Simplicator @QasimRashid
They are doing that wtf. You were given links showing that the "symbolism" made Trump enough money he could... RUN AGAIN and he funded candidates against us. Like, it totally backfired, they got ahead when we did it and given the evidence of this you're saying to do it again.
Just give your money to Trump already, this is moronic.
They partially shut the government down to fight them, but you said nothing happened. This is stupid.
@sofiav @joe @Simplicator @QasimRashid
It's like listening to MAGA. When you don't know how anything works everything is a conspiracy.
@joe @sofiav @Simplicator @QasimRashid
Iraq - GOP
Afghanistan - GOP
Iran - GOP
Leftists: Blame the Democrats!
Is Chuck Snoozer still in bed? I thought Joe Biden was supposed to be the sleepy one.
Moral indignation demands they try. They can’t even summon the energy for even performative protest. It’s not even on their radar.
In a back room somewhere they’re trying to get to the middle of the Overton window billionaires are dragging towards hell.
The dynamic for this is a lot more subtle because the Democratic leadership is pouring acid on younger voters this pathetic attack on Piker. That’s the best they seem to think of is to turn him into Public Enemy number one.
I keep being reminded of this quote from a Sherlock Holmes story:
“Is there any point to which you would wish to draw my attention?'
'To the curious incident of the dog in the night-time.'
'The dog did nothing in the night-time.'
'That was the curious incident,' remarked Sherlock Holmes.”
I just don't trust them to care.
