Donald Trump warned Republican members of Congress on Tuesday that if they don’t win in this year’s midterms, then he will “get impeached.”
“You got to win the midterms because if we don’t win the midterms, it’s just going to be – I mean, they’ll find a reason to impeach me. I’ll get impeached,” the president said.
Trump was impeached two times during his first term. In 2019, he was impeached on charges of abuse of power and obstruction of Congress for allegedly pressuring Ukraine’s president to interfere in the 2020 election. The second impeachment came during his final days in office after the attack on the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, with lawmakers charging him with incitement of insurrection. Trump was acquitted in the Senate both times.
Honestly that’s all a Democratic House should do from the time they take over until Nov 2028.
Just submit articles of impeachment & hold hearings on them.
As much as Trump’s shit has become “normal” due to the flood the zone strategy, this isn’t actually normal on global order time scales. We can show the world that the party of loyal opposition is ready to govern, and why.
The orange is afraid. Don’t let Go! Grasp stronger!
Why is he making popular democratic campaign promises?
Did he switch sides?
I mean, why does anyone think impeachment means anything? He’s already been impeached twice in his first term. Didn’t change his behavior in the slightest, because the Senate refused to convict and the next President refused to prosecute him for his crimes while in office.
“Oh no! The House will do another Kabuki Theater in between rubber stamping all my demands for an increased police state. How horrible!”
What a fucking joke.
His ratings aren’t matching Stranger Things and he’s jealous
Impeachment is barely a slap on the wrist. he needs to be sent to a supermax prison. Or beaten to death by a mob.
Petition to change it to Bukkake Theatre because well that’s what it feels like.
O well. Then there is a light at the end of the tunnel?
I don’t believe the democrats have enough of a spine to do that. I would expect them to instead say, “Oh, well he can’t be president again, so no point in that when it can cost us our real constituents, the corporations that bribe us to do nothing.”
They impeached him twice already. The 2/3 of the Senate conviction is another thing entirely.
Yeah, but even if democrats had 2/3+, enough will cave to make it fail again. I have no hope or trust in them. I’d like them to, and it would be great if it worked, but I have no hopes.
They’re never getting 2/3+ even if Trump eats a baby live on television. It’s a cult.
He won’t get impeached. It’s been well past time we start using that second amendment so many love to go on and on about, but never actually take advantage of.
He should have been imprisoned after January 6th. He should have been imprisoned for stealing documents. He should have been imprisoned for being in the Epstein files. Yet here we are, America baby!
He should have been in prison decades earlier for fraud. But here we are. Trump is a metastasized tumor of the cancer that is the billionaire class.
i know someone who is in prison for life for less fraud than krasnov has committed. the injustice infuriates me (not that my acquaintance is in prison, long story, that krasnov is not)
This guy is wearing so much plot armor fr.
At worse he will be impeached but there will be no effort to remove, meaning absolutely nothing
It’s been well past time we start using that second amendment so many love to go on and on about, but never actually take advantage of.
After you, sir. Why not be the change in the world you want to see?
Damn FBI using lemmy now /s
I’m working with my therapist on getting over my extreme fear of guns. Then I’ll start hitting the range.
It’s been well past time we start using that second amendment
I believe there are at least three confirmed attempts on his life to date.
I mean someone definitely tried, almost got the dude too
Turns out, you don’t actually need a good guy with a gun.
You need a guy who is good with guns.
Yeah all of this could have been avoided if one numpty had properly set his windage.
Maybe take a hint from the Ukrainians and fly a tethered drone in next time.
The rest of the world is waiting.
The rest of the world needs to swoop in and save us at this point. The new nazi party and several pro-fascism democrats are making sure this shit continues unabated.
No, American citizens sitting on their asses are allowing this to continue unabated. We’ve been telling you for about 3 decades what path you were on and were met with belligerent shitty USA USA USA chants and flag waving.
“Ya’ll nazis better rig some elections or else the grift ends and the good christofascist times are over”
Yeah, because he should be impeached, removed and thrown in prison.
And he fucking knows it.
He’s setting the expectation that if the Democrats do gain power after the midterms, then even if they rightfully impeach him his base will view it as politically motivated.
He’s done this type of thing before. Doesn’t surprise me.
And why not? It worked out great for him with denying the 2020 election results. The 2024 election was suspicious as fuck, but no one dared question the results or demand a recount, lest they be accused of doing the same thing he and his followers did 4 years prior.
Of course. The technique works for him most of the time, too, which is why he keeps doing it.
I think you’re looking at it way too deeply.
He doesn’t care about processes or democracy or representation. He just knows he has to be POTUS.
I honestly don’t know if he’s knowingly doing it, or if it’s some subconscious compulsion, but he is doing it and it has worked very well for him
Forget impeachment. I want to see his head roll on live TV with the rest of these traitors
he fucked with the post office. there’s only one punishment fitting. drawing, quartering, feeding to pigs, burning the pigs, dancing on the ashes, distributing the ashes for display in every post office as a warning to those who might dare fuck with the post office again.
Too kind. I want to see a livestream of him spending the rest of his years in prison.
Put him in gen pop and make sure everyone knows he raped children
We need to combine it all for a perfect punishment, imprison with a 24/7 live stream, sell subscriptions to view, and give proceeds to the victims and families, use them to prosecute the rest of the crew and to pay to change the laws against the oligarchy.
You don’t need to tell the prisoners that he raped kids. They know.
I think there is a big public perception issue of who exactly is a “Chimo” in prison. Most men in prison do not consider teens to be children and people who sexually abuse teens to be pedophiles. In spite of structural issues that lead to people being in prison, most people in prison are still bad people and have views outside the acceptable norm outside of prison. So someone in for raping a 15 year old isn’t going to have the same social stigma in prison that someone who raped a 9 year old would.
Then just tell them about how he threw a newborn baby of the 13 yo he raped into lake Michigan
You make your point flying in the face of the facts that Trump rapes 9 year olds aaaaand 15 year olds. I hope your hard drives are checked.
Or, spending the rest of his life in prison while slowly removing his head inching away on the flesh
If you don’t want to be impeached, then stop committing impeachable offenses !
Far, far too late.
technically, he committed no crime, so even if impeach and removed, he will just get to retire with unimaginable wealth and influence
Don’t threaten me with a good time.
I prefer conviction and removal beyond impeachment so any additional criminal proceedings and continue and place him behind bars.
I prefer we break out the guillotine.
Too French. Drawing and quartering works.
Too fancy. Ever seen the film Midsommar? I want the old people cliff scene, just no mercy hammer.
Brutal
Oh no how unfortunate.
Oh, that’s good because it’s literally a call for sponsorship. He’s running out of money
I doubt after all his crypto rug pulling that the runs out of money soon. He just wants more free money
