Can we send him on a one-way mission to the Hague, tho?
And this is why I have no faith in Democrats. When it comes time for the fundraiser they are all red alert sound the alarm Trump is destroying our country, when it comes time to actually fucking DO anything it’s excuses and business as usual.
If the guy literally did order a war crime, then file the fucking paperwork and dare the Republicans to quash it. Make sure that every one of them who fights against this does so publicly, on the record. Make sure they know that if/when the truth comes out, be it tomorrow or years down the road, their vote today will be known to the world. And they can bet their asses that ‘senator whatever chose not to investigate war crimes’ Will be part of their opponents’ campaigns.
“Republicans will never allow articles of impeachment to be brought to the floor of the House of Representatives, and we know that’s the case,” Jeffries said at a press conference Monday.
Okay, but that is very different from not persueing an impeachment. Sometimes you do something, just to create a forum.
Giving up before you begin is always a losing move.
“we’ve tried nothing and we’re totally out of ideas”
At this point, I expect nothing but total compliance with the Republican agenda from the Democrats.
At least he’s honest about it. Maybe he should hang out with Shumer some more.
Hakeem Jeffries is fucking useless. He needs to be primaried.
Fucking excuse me?
Well knock me down with a feather, Dems don’t give a fuck about extrajudicial killings, I may die of surprise.
Current clutch of Dems are useless cunts.
The Democratic party is a neo-liberal party, this is not something they oppose further than rhetoric to pacify the population, they are supportive of these war crimes and the potential colonial war on South America. Remember Obama’s drone strikes that liberals hate to acknowledge.
The Democratic party uses leftist rhetoric to pacify and squash leftist revolution, they are not on your side.
Honesty is the best policy! Thanks you piece of shit!
Primary them all, starting with this useless fuck.
Don’t worry I don’t expect Democrats to do anything even vaguely resembling vertebrate work. Just keep inching along, you worms, and get replaced by a functional, good government.
The only way the Untied States is getting a functional government and justice system is if there’s a revolution
Untied States
Probably a typo, but accurate nonetheless.
It’s not a typo. I’ve been intentionally calling it that online for months. It rarely seems to be noticed
I always liked United Snakes.
Untied Snakes, perhaps?
That’s how you trip and fall. Make sure those snakes are tied tightly!
Untying a snake just makes it more effective at snakery
While I agree many if not most need to go, when the guy was asked if they would file impeachment articles, his response was basically there is no way the Republicans are going to vote on it so their is no point. Which is true. The Republicans would see a successful impeachment of Hegseth as a fracture that would allow all Republicans to have to answer for their crimes eventually. They’ll shit on every single one of their constituents wants before they do that.
Shit I don’t know if Johnson would even let it come to a vote
…And so the tired meme continues to be relevant :
More people need to get this. Obama and Biden conducted airstrikes with the exact same expectations and the exact same “unlawful combatant” policy allowing us to ignore the Geneva conventions.
I guarantee anyone reading this that the guy calling these strikes has done the same thing his entire career. If they want to change that policy then go for it. But don’t expect anyone to be prosecuted over doing it before that.
I’ve been saying that the whole investigation thing is a nothing burger because to credibly go after Trump Democrats would also have to go after Obama.
It’s also why both parties support Israel and neither will condemn their treatment of Palestinians. It’s too easy to pivot the conversation to what the US has done for the past 25 years in the Middle East. In both cases a horrible terrorist attach led to an incredibly violent over-reaction.
It’s not up to politicians to tell people what to expect of them. The people are the ones who tell the politicians what is expected of them.
This IS the point. We The People have to force them to do the right thing, a.k.a. our Right to Petition our representatives for a redress of our grievances. Get on the phone, email, snail mail, text message, and don’t let up.
"Why it matters: Impeachment has been a fraught subject for Democrats this year, with Jeffries acknowledging that Republican control of both chambers of Congress makes any impeachment effort virtually dead on arrival.
"Republicans will never allow articles of impeachment to be brought to the floor of the House of Representatives, and we know that's the case," Jeffries said at a press conference Monday. "Donald Trump will order them not to do it," he added."I always prefer to let others make their own decisions, rather than pre-guessing them. Let the GOPers have the opportunity to defend their lack of prosecution of war crimes. And then the DEMs can make a talking point of that GOP decision.
Exactly why dem’s struggle so much. Go on every damn tv station that will let you… get on every damn podcast you can… scream from the rooftops "HEY WE WANT TO PUNISH THIS ILLEGAL SHIT and they don’t want us to. Force them on the defensive… their base is already turning on them. We’re watching districts flip in real time, show the american people what you are trying to do, so we can actually help you do it.
Then make them.
lol
