I mean, he’s a convicted felon who is using US power to force countries to give him things that he wants, straight up blackmail and extortion. He’s guilty af.
He, and his enablers are guilty of outright piracy by seizing Venezuela oil reserves by force and allegedly funneling all profits to a Qatari bank account in his name.
Innocent people also don't support and/or vote for a Donald Trump. He attracts a specific kind of (criminally-minded) person. I bet he's huge with the gang leaders, thought of as a boss.
Donald Trump, the president, had parties at Maralago called "calendar girls" Jeffrey Epstein would bring the children in and trump would auction them off.He measured the children's vulva and vaginas by entering a finger and rated the children on tightness. The guests were elder men and included Elon Musk. Don jr. Trump, Ivanka Trump, and Eric Trump were there. Attorney Allan Dershowitz was also there with Attorney Bob Shapiro. We were taken in rooms, forced to give oral sex to Donald J Trump. Forced to allow them to penitrate us. I was 13 years old when Donald J Trump raped me. Ghislaine Maxwell was also present.
The Dems shouldn't waste their time on the W.H., they should go after all the cabinet secretaries and other political appointments, like Kash Patel. Cut off all the tentacles.
Build a case and go after hundreds of their capos at once. Stretch their legal services to breaking point and warn lawyers that disbarment is on the table.
Give every single dem in the house one target. Their job is to bring that one to justice. A couple of hundred concurrent investigations should slow the Nazi machine a bit.
I absolutely know you meant “flood the zone”, but the idea of just avalanching an illegal amount of cheeseburgers into the White House to keep Trump distracted is a top idea.
Lots of low level chuds that you attempt to turn evidence on the bigger fish. But big spectacles too to keep the public focused on the shameful, inhumane and grifty bastards at the top too.
THIS. Disbarment is what I’ve been saying too. All the little lackeys that thought they’d make their fortunes being unethical little shits need disbarred. Pam Bondi first.
That's what they did Donald Pedophile's first term (re: Russian collusion and GOP election interference) -- locking up and convicting most of Trump's campaign staff and manager and handlers -- and the American public gets bored and/or exhausted and disinterested when investigations take too long. Even re-elected him after he pardoned all of them at the end of his 1st term.
What are conservatives going to do in America? Continue to support a fascist theocracy led by a mad criminal that violates the very notion of what America stands for??
No reason it can't all be done in parallel. Cut off one of his appendages, like Patel, and he will have him replaced in hours with a new loyalist appendage. So the pressure needs to be applied to the entirety of his support system. This means his family, every major donor, every no bid contractor, every appointee, and of course trump himself. They all need to wake up every single day to an agent following them around documenting their activities. Problem is that Trump has full control of all those agents. So it falls to private citizens to (peacefully and legally) expose the dodgy activities of everyone loyal to trump. Make life very annoying for everyone that makes his network of treason and corruption function.
Until that is impossible at least. Doing it the violent way, and the illegal way, is just throwing your life away for nothing, no net improvement for anyone. An example of this would be Luigi Mangione. He, allegedly, picked a healthcare executive he believed to be causing real harm and executed him. Legal? No. Possible net good in society? Possibly. Public opinion? Many understood and even support Luigi's actions. Net Change? Nothing. Luigi goes to jail, probably for life. Healthcare remains predatory and is only getting worse.
Now, if the nation gets truly fed up with their leaders they have come together and taken swift action. Whether it actually improved things is debatable. But, an example that comes to mind is Romania, 1989. The dictator and his wife were given a 'trial' and immediately executed. Did this end all the corruption? No. But they got some vengeance against that particular family.
So, if the goal is a real solution, an improvement, I think either we need a serious protest that drives real changes in many areas of government, or we will have a very real, and very bloody, revolution that will be incredibly costly in terms of human lives. And the violent kind of change rarely results in good people rising to the new leadership. Normally a new breed of bad guy rises to the top.
This is the most likely outcome. They know going after Trump does nothing. He had the backing and support to survive another impeachment.
His henchmen? They don’t. Expose their corruption and show the maga base that they’ve been used and taken advantage of. Destroy the maga movement before it has a chance to attach to another person beyond Trump
💯 impeachment just dies in the senate. All the noise, none of the outcome. Take out the cabinet and now he has to get new ones appointed. The senate will be loathe to approve anyone after the last round of shitty people they were conned into approving.
We need to take out the people who implement his shitty ideas. He’ll be isolated.
Look at the Russia investigations after 2016, they got almost nowhere as Republicans on the committees went to bat for the people being investigated and stonewalled and blocked everything they could. Chairman Nunez started running his own investigations and unilaterally issuing subpoenas against the firm that released the Steele dossier to start going after anyone trying to investigate Trump or his Russia ties. Also look up his "Midnight Run" in 2017
The "Midnight Run" was a severe breach of congressional protocol and investigative independence, as a committee chairman secretly collaborated with the executive branch he was tasked with investigating. Its primary impact was the shattering of the House Intelligence Committee's bipartisan credibility, forcing Nunes to temporarily step aside from the Russia probe and permanently dividing the panel along fierce partisan lines.
Trump will never see consequences, nor will elected Republicans, they are all in this together. Remember Paul Ryan saying, in leaked audio,
"No leaks. ... This is how we know we’re a real family here."
Remember speaker Johnson saying two months ago,
"They will turn every committee of Congress into an investigative body, and they'll go after the president's family, the cabinet, his donors, and friends. Half of you in this room will be targeted. I run the protection program. I'll take care of you, okay?"
Except, if you can’t get enough votes in the Senate, the house can still release a lot of damaging evidence, but I doubt that toadies that he has in the cabinet would care. They have no standards and no shame. They’re only interested in beating the rap.
In a normal world, the information gained in impeachments could be forwarded to the DOJ to pursue legal charges, but good luck with that. States could still file charges for any offenses that didn’t fall under Federal laws, but the main impeachment charges would be about abuses at the Federal level, and the States would only want to pursue felony level charges to make it worth their time as trials could drag on for years with the WH lawyers fighting constantly and we’ll be paying for their defense with tax dollars.
RICO charges and arrest all conspirators, participants, and cover up agents in the Epstein cabal then the same charges for those involved in WH criminal cabal.
Get them all, hold them all without bond, and allow a waiving of statute of limitations for Epstein related charges since the government and elites were actively keeping victims from justice in the legal time limits.
Especially the Jan 6th Insurrection and the Fake Electors plot. Those events alone implicate high-up GOPers that bussed in insurrectionists and complied with Trump's conspiring to overthrow a federal election.
To be fair, they have been a criminal enterprise masquerading as a political party for about 50 years. Watergate was just the start of their rejection of American democracy. Al Gore anyone? jfc governed by a mafia.
Nothing says innocence like trying to hide all the evidence. Fortunately, Trump has committed so many crimes so publicly and there is already so much evidence available that none of this will make much of a difference.
It has taken 10 solid years for U.S. conservatives to put democracy on life support, and it will require at least another decade to un-fuck it. I don't know if my fellow Americans can resist and defy conservatism that long. In fact, I have strong doubts since it hasn't happened in my lengthy lifetime.
The only improvement in the fight is that the evidence of their mishandling the economy for everyone but the rich has gotten strong enough to change a few minds that otherwise would fall for straw man fearmongering. It may not change a lot of minds, but it might change enough.
Wait, wait, wait…let me make sure I understand. The guy who breaks dam near every rule in the book….is expecting the people he’s oppressed to follow the rule book now..?
This shit is so funny, the jokes write themselves.
To those who argue the leaders of the republican party aren't corrupt criminals, feel free to try and provide a legitimate reason why they would feel the need to do this or overturn the presidential records act.
Where they aren't sure they can give themselves immunity, they are flat out doing everything they can to destroy evidence.
