If we are able to get our country back in 2028 whoever the president is then needs to use every bit of their power to arrest and prosecute every single person who went along with Donny’s agenda. If not we will do this all over again, but stupider and worse.

If he pardons them there is nothing anyone can do... legally

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 2 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Not necessarily. There will still be options for most of them, if we have the political will to play HARD BALL.

Also, it's important to remember that these people are literally career criminals. They don't know how to operate legally. Now that we know who they are and what they are up to, we will just prosecute them harshly for their future crimes - and there will be future crimes, they can't help it.

We just have to hound them for their entire lives. And their families. And their businesses. And their neighbors. Make everyone they know regret their association.

Make them American Pariahs. We could create an actual official list of Wanted Pardoned MAGA Criminals, and if any actionable criminal activity by these specific things individuals is uncovered, there is additional bonus rewards for reporting them. Encourage people to monitor them CLOSELY in every aspect of their lives.

Ah, you mean like last time? Where nothing was prosecuted?

That president also needs to close every single loophole Donny exposed.

They won't tho.

You would have to be a moron to believe Democrats will hold Republicans responsible for anything.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 15 points 3 days ago (5 children)

If the Dems don't hold MAGA responsible for their many CRIMES, it's YOUR fault.

Mamdani recently said:

"For far too long our party has seen its job as managing decline instead of delivering material change for working people. It has seen its job as explaining why we cannot instead of showing how we can."

YOU are part of "managing decline," either out of cowardice, or by design.

Politicians are generally lazy and greedy, and if you tell them that you expect nothing from them, give them permission to do nothing, and tell them that we'll do nothing about it, and that's exactly what they'll do - Northing - and they'll go right back to their favorite pastime, Insider Trading.

Last night, 29 year old Democratic Socialist Melat Kiros won her primary over a 15 term incumbent, and said:

"For decades Democrats have failed to meaningfully deliver for working families,” Kiros told POLITICO’s William Steakin late last night following her stunning victory in Colorado’s 1st Congressional District. “We have to root out the corruption and get money out of our politics … It’s about political will — and that means we have to vote out any of the incumbents that are standing in our way by taking that kind of corporate PAC money.”

You are talking about the OLD Democratic Party, the lazy, corrupt losers that helped MAGA gain power, and let them into the White House, TWICE. The MAGA Comedy act of Schmuck & Jeffries are as responsible for that as MAGA itself, and the NEW Democrats that will take over after the Midterms will not will not accept their traditional Corporate Establishment Democratic Identities as Cowardly Weenies. They are being elected to make change, they are taking that charge seriously, and we need to support them with everything we've got.

We need to send the message that we will no longer accept them doing nothing. We already elected them once to do something about MAGA, and they fucked us over, and let MAGA back in. If we take it back again, we expect them to deal with MAGA decisively, crush it, and purge it from our government, and our society.

But instead, your response is: "We know you won't do anything to save us from the MAGA Parasites, but that's okay, we never really expected your help anyway."

Ew, gross. Grow a spine.

The Democrats are going to investigate your crimes? Are we talking about the same Democrats?

[–] krashmo@lemmy.world 51 points 4 days ago (3 children)

They investigated last time too. They ran out the clock on all the important stuff and nothing of consequence came of any of it but they technically did do quite a few investigations.

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 25 points 4 days ago

Just enough to get a bunch of investigators fired.

Investigations are great for them politically, why wouldn't they?

They sweep the house and set up special commissions investigating all of the wrongdoings very publicly and with much ceremony and somber pomp.

Then either they'll defer the discovered crimes to the justice department to make arrests (these will be ignored) or send impeachment proceedings to the senate (these will be swatted down).

This lets them "do something" without actually making any changes. It will also be coordinated with the media to be the focus of politics for a while and not something dangerous like young anti-capitalist upstarts trying to steal the party they rightfully rigged so long ago.

By making it seem like they're doing something the can also tamper down some of that anti establishment energy that's been boiling over recently.

I hope the fucking fail.

It's time to put pedos in jail, not in office.

You mean in the ground

[–] Suavevillain@lemmy.world 15 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Strong worded letter inbound.

[–] smeenz@lemmy.nz 3 points 3 days ago

Hey hey hey, let's not shove the pedal to the floor !. There are many less aggressive options to consider before penning a strongly worded letter !

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 5 points 3 days ago (5 children)

After the Midterms, those strongly worded letters are going to be subpoenas.

Democrats won't, but progressives sure will.

Ever shoot clay pigeons? do you think we could build a clay pidgeon launcher that could shoot a pedo human? Just a physics question.

[–] IsoKiero@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

The thing you're looking for is a catapult.

[–] kreskin@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

I was looking for a low and slow trajectory, but I suppose we can use a catapult coupled with an AI targetting app for the trap shooting.

[–] First_Thunder@lemmy.zip 42 points 4 days ago (2 children)

I wanna see a source for that quote. If it’s real, I’ll laugh my pants off

[–] green_goglin@thelemmy.club 99 points 4 days ago (7 children)

Seems to be paraphrasing:

“If we lose the midterms, heaven forbid, these Democrats — y’all, impeachment isn’t even the real concern,” the Louisiana Republican told a conservative audience on Friday. “They will turn every committee of Congress into an investigative body, and they’ll go after the president’s family, the Cabinet, his donors, friends, half of you in this room will be targeted.”

The House speaker added, “I run the protection program. I’ll take care of you.”

I've heard if you deport them fast enough and send them to a nonextradition country with a supermax prison then you don't even need to make a case against them. Seems a lot cheaper for the tax payers.

[–] uriel238@lemmy.blahaj.zone 12 points 4 days ago (4 children)

If only the Democrats had that much spine.

No they won't. They'll protect them and post some dramatic tweets about how horrible they are. Centrist Democrats won't do jack shit. They're weak and in on the grift.

[–] Doomsider@lemmy.world 23 points 4 days ago (4 children)

Vance is now on record saying if the Nixon scandal happened today it wouldn't even make it on the news. That is how brazenly corrupt these asshats are.

No apologies, just the smug "we can grift all we want".

I'll still vote blue begrudgingly, but I have very very VERY little faith in Dem leadership will do anything meaningful like putting the current administration in prison. I'm already expecting to be massively disappointed in the Dems doing fuck all if they gain power back. Love to be proved wrong, but establishment Dems still hold the party and you can't trust any of those stock trading bastards.

[–] fluffykittycat@slrpnk.net 13 points 4 days ago (1 children)

That's why you need to vote for the farthest left primary hand didn't matter how "unelectable" or "extreme" you were told they are because electing more centrists is the same as just selecting more Republicans

Yeah, blue could win everything. They could have a supermajority in both chambers of Congress and pack the Supreme court to have an undeniable majority

And the Democrats would still ensure that no other conservatives see any kind of consequences.

If the Democrats take the House and Senate, it will be soul-crushing if they don't pursue a strong liberal-restoration agenda and fiercely prosecute the Republicans for engaging in blatant self dealing.

Thanks to the history I've lived, I don't expect them to, especially as the DNC shows signs of capture, but it will be very sad.

Then the Republicans will get back into office, and the US will fall in earnest, possibly attacking Canada and Greenland when the government bankrupts the state, and eventually ending with China and Europe bombing the snot out of DC.

If we're lucky, by then, chunks of the US will have seceded from the union to form smaller clusters of states, so that the entire nation doesn't have to be conquered by the Allies.

No it doesn't. Democrats don't do that. At least not well
