No shit. But is there anything that can be done about it?

Some lawyer or lawyers need to sue her on behalf of all American voters. We have a right to know whether or not this man committed the crimes he is accused of before we are forced to choose who to vote for in November. Everyone should have standing to sue her for not doing her fucking job.

So the solution of a slow process is to do more of the slow process?

I get where you’re coming from but I don’t see that fixing things in time.

Most pundits skipped the grieving phase and started commenting on the consequences. It's lame but kicking and screaming goes nowhere, too.

[-] Boddhisatva@lemmy.world 5 points 7 months ago

You may well be right, but it's the best idea I've got.

Tell the world how much of a tool she is, and create an environment where she experiences social pressure.

[-] nickwitha_k@lemmy.sdf.org 46 points 7 months ago

She probably won't give a shit about social pressure. She was appointed because she is corrupt/corruptable.

She's has a much longer life expectancy than Trump. Break what she's doing into the circles she moves in, and that can change

[-] GiuseppeAndTheYeti@midwest.social 21 points 7 months ago

You think that the circles she moves in aren't aware of what she's doing? They encourage it.

[-] Grandwolf319@sh.itjust.works 2 points 7 months ago

If it’s one thing I’ve learned about corrupt people is that they are cowards. So I agree.

Conservatives are not able to feel shame. So, this will not work, unfortunately.

[-] Bassman1805@lemmy.world 14 points 7 months ago

Get enough of a majority in congress that she can be impeached (and convicted). Not possible with a 51/50 split in the senate. It'd take damn near 67 dem senators. Maaaaaaybe they can get 1 or 2 Rs to flip but it's a long shot.

Yes. Jack Smith can appeal, but would unlikely succeed in proving partiality.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!
