Impeachment

Oh thank god

I'm so glad I'm not the only one who had this small heart attack while reading that

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

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

[–] Chozo@fedia.io 37 points 6 days ago (2 children)

I support a third attempt.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 35 points 6 days ago (2 children)

I would actually prefer an impeachment and removal from office. That would actually be a huge step in unfucking our current situation

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.

[–] Reygle@lemmy.world 11 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Hard R

I vote we redefine the popular meaning of this to the way you just used it

[–] inclementimmigrant@lemmy.world 7 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I mean it is the party of the Hard R after all.

it’s ok; he learned his lesson this time

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”

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?

[–] Sunshine@lemmy.ca 39 points 6 days ago (2 children)

A large bloc didn’t vote. Donald Trump never went past 49% in approval rating.

[–] ArbitraryValue@sh.itjust.works 8 points 6 days ago (1 children)

But isn't the poll specifically of voters?

[–] Lodespawn@aussie.zone 8 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Maybe they mean eligible voters

There is a very large amount of people who straight up don't pay attention to the news and believed trumps lies.

That’ll get you banned on reddit.

It's a piece of enshit now. They did us a favor banning us.

[–] GeForce8800GTX@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Could not agree more. Reddit isn't the place where you can say what needs to be said, in times like this.

I got banned myself for asking Republicans hard questions on the "AskTrumpSupporters" subreddit. Which is such a fucking sham of a subreddit. Watching those dorks tip toe on eggshells with Trump Supporters while they willfully respond in bad faith.

And I'll say, BlueSky crushes Twitter. BlueSky actually reminds me of circa 2010 Twitter. You're not inundated with ads and bots, and the experience feels a lot more personal. Who knows how long that'll last but in contrast to modern Twitter, its quite nice and I don't understand why anyone still uses Twitter. Especially all the doofuses that complain about it while they use it.

I think removal from office would be better. He can do the third term in his own delusional mind.

[–] opus86@lemmy.today 10 points 5 days ago

Trump isn't going to give up power willingly. He is openly and gleefully breaking everything with no thought of the consequences. Republicans wouldn't be going along with it unless they think they are untouchable. If they think kidnapping people with no due process and dumping them in concentration camps isn't going to have a consequence, then they are all in. Trusting the rest of their lives on Trump isn't a bet I would take, but I'm just an everyday idiot.

[–] Akaru88@lemm.ee 32 points 6 days ago (2 children)

What good would impeachment prove when it’s happened twice before and nothing comes of it

[–] toiletobserver@lemmy.world 17 points 6 days ago (2 children)

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.

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

For a second, i missread the title as third term instead of impeachment and was like "WTF!!!"

[–] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 12 points 6 days ago (4 children)

If we can't impeach him, find a deserted island in the middle of the pacific and beach him

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 5 points 5 days ago

The island is optional.

it won't happen. buy guns.

it's more important that the people speak with bullets anyway. we need to establish a precedent for people like him. a warning for future idiots and sociopaths. a reason for the rest of the morons to pay attention.

[–] MedicPigBabySaver@lemmy.world 6 points 5 days ago (9 children)

Hmmm, I've been waiting for the hordes of Pro-2A to do something.

I'm guessing they're full of shit.

Trump needs removal... somehow.

This shit will never get fixed until radical fascist media talking heads get dragged into the streets and beaten to a pulp every time they lie through their goddamn traitor teeth about tEh sAtAnIc bAby kIllIng dEmOnCrAts.

Fuck the goddamn First Amendment; if you cant use it responsibly you LOSE IT. These fuckers need to be crushed like the vile, pedophile cockroaches that they are.

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

Edit: And make it an amendment.

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.

[–] aquinteros@lemmy.world 10 points 6 days ago (2 children)

like he gives a fuck .. and an impeachment is absolutely useless, everyone knows that

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 19 points 6 days ago (5 children)

*impeachment is useless because half of Congress is acting in bad faith
