A House Democrat has filed articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump, calling him the “most impeachable president” in U.S. history and accusing him of high crimes and misdemeanors ranging from his war on Iran to his schemes to enrich himself and his allies while in office. House Judiciary Committee member Rep. Steve Cohen, of Tennessee, introduced 26 impeachment articles on…

    And let’s not forget Bonespurs is a convicted felon, found guilty on 30 or 40 counts of fraud in New York state. Strangely, although felons serving jail time can’t vote, he can because of the type of sentence he received.

          Oh wise one, what do you think they should be doing then? What secret powers do you think that they have that they haven’t used?

            There is plenty they could do on committees. Tommy tuberville heald up military promotions for the GOP for a long time to exert control and it worked.

            Jim Jordan obstructs everything and has never even introduced a bill.

            There are procedural and parliamentarian rules that can be used to stop things.

            Information could be leaked about all of th upese people.

            As government employees, there should daily reports and follow up with the DOJ and OIG to follow up on all of the reported crimes.

            Instead, the Dems are: DNC leadership and pedophilic traitor Jared Kushner are having secret meetings.

            Established Dems like Tammy duckworth are not going to “waste time” impeaching anybody and we should “compromise” with pedophilic traitors.

            AIPAC Dems are funding AIPAC REPUBLICANS over DSA candidates.

            Spending time and money attacking DSA candidates and progressive streamers.

            Hakeem Jeffries takes Peter Thiel’s money and appointed 6 Dems that also take Thiel money to be on an AI regulatory committee or group.

            The corporate Dems and their leadership are the “good cop” of MAGA. They have the same donors. They have the same end goals.

            Noting. The time do do shit was in back in November when ninety some-odd million people decided to stay home either in protest, or ignorance.

            Now, we get to sleep in the bed we made. Because he’s above the law now and no one exists with the authority to do fuck-all about it. Otherwise, he’d have been out the moment he shows up as a child fucking pedophile in the files.

              Yup. trump is the result of a low pressure front of crazy, racist, religious nutjobs, slamming up against a high pressure dome of elite bloodsuckers camping over the population, slowly killing everyone like a dry 3 digit summer.

      Honestly, I think things like this help with the midterms. Republicans are going to get hammered because of how massively unpopular the Iran War is (as well as Trump himself). Actions like this force Republican to publicly defend it, and let Democrats show that they’re pushing to resolve things one way or another.

            It’s actually bad enough that even that wouldn’t matter. They’ve “successfully” impeached him before and if you look around you can see all that accomplished! Like the following:

        because of how massively unpopular the Iran War is

        I haven’t even read the articles but I’m going to take a guess and say this Demonrat only has qualms about the handling of this war and says nothing about how fucking disastrous it was starting it in the first place.

      At the very least, it’s a great way to f with him, as he’s a convicted criminal who needs to be sentenced.

      So, yet another thing for him to panic about

        He isn’t panicked. He isn’t worried. He isn’t even generally concerned for his wellbeing. He will be living in luxury until the day he dies in his golden bed.

        He will get away with everything and set a new precedent that will live on in the USA for a century.

          He clearly was last time. He acted weirder than normal

          He knows the walls are closing in on many fronts.

            Very strongly disagree. He’s never going to be punished. History shows the villains rarely get what’s coming to them.

              He’s already been convicted, and he doesn’t have support this time

              Something will happen.

              Also, at least jean Carrol is getting her money… He’s out of avenues there

                Hes not going to be punished a day in his life. Stop jerking off and wake up to REALITY.

                  Villains get punished all the time.

                  If you’re in Australia, you just don’t realize it because we have Murdoch media and Facebook scaremongering people

                  The worst customer we ever had as an example, I discovered went to prison (he was the world’s biggest cock head).

                  The biggest threat to my life was a guy who ended up murdered actually and it’s now awaiting trial for the person who murdered him (in media he was portrayed as a normal person though, but he was a horrible person)

                  Pauline Hanson over 30 years has never been elected… and she likely won’t be. She’s wasted her life

                  Etc.
