I knew it - to the qons, the Constitution is just something they like to talk about, but don’t really care about.
Then you can’t deport, numb nuts.
Death to Kings.
Impeachment doesn’t require a congressional vote either then
Just a pull of an index finger.
I thought this was how he was elected.
He’s been impeached it didn’t do squat
In each case, he was acquitted on all counts by the Senate. Gotta make it stick.
Oh I thought he got fully convicted but just dabbed, screeched yeet and became president
Iirc you need like 3/4 vote to remove from office
Only two thirds of the senate
https://www.senate.gov/about/powers-procedures/impeachment.htm
And to start the impeachment trial you just need a normal majority in the House
He didn’t, it was attempted but never got passed
Edit: I mean he was impeached twice but he got acquitted, I’m not even sure how that is legal cause it shouldn’t.
Impeach is the term for the trial thingy not getting removed.
Republicans blocked any evidence from being presented in the trial, and the Democrats took it lying down which is why he was aquitted.
Underlying that is also they’re scared shitless of his violent cult followers
3 times is the charm… 4 times is also the charm… so is 5 times. Keep impeaching him.
Uh oh.
The US CAN, you fucking asswipe. You don’t WANT to.
You are like a petulant child, only caring about what you want, you narcissistic prick.
Holding trial for the millions of people Trump wants to deport runs the very real and obvious possibility that not all the judges will rubber-stamp the deportations. In fact, you might start running into judges who deliberately obstruct the process because they have a visceral disgust for the practice of mass deportation.
Can’t have that, because the goal is to ethnically cleanse the country. Once Trump decides deporting people to El Salvadorian death camps is too difficult / expensive, we’re going to start seeing them spring up all over the interior of the country as well.
Lol.
America the brave is sitting by while a fat, orange felon rapist shits on our Constitution and tanks our economy.
The brave are exercising their freedom to be fucked
Add it to the list of impeachable charges, we will give orange man a trial regardless.
Imagine impeachment actually being relevant.
You forgot his first term didn’t you? Lol
A record of what happened > nothing
Records don’t mean shit when the ruling party is actively destroying records of things they don’t like. History is written by the victors, and it’s happening in real-time right now.

I am not declaring them the victors yet.
Has any fascist regime outlived it’s dictator?
Kim Jong Un/Il. Most true monarchies of the past. Quite a few, sadly.
They’re not fascist. Certainly they’re authoritarian, but I don’t think any fascist governments have stood.
Cool. Records. Awesome.
Impeachment is not an exclusive thing. Other avenues are still valid?
Wow! Imagine all the grandstanding that people will do with “records of what happened” while hoping that people vote differently next time!
I don’t have all the answers, but isn’t it obvious if the choice is Impeachment without removal vs no Impeachment? And the whole without removal isn’t even guaranteed.
how about we just skip all that and have the leftists in this country grow a pair and do the right thing?
Articles of Impeachment need to be filed every week, add to the list of charges each time because there is plenty new every week.
“Trump can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but Trump cannot fool all of the people all of the time.”
Which stage are we at now? Have enough people been fooled yet?
That’s such a coincidence. Some guillotining could be done without trials too!
*should
Some guillotining should be done without trials too.
“THERE were two “Reigns of Terror,” if we would but remember it and consider it; the one wrought murder in hot passion, the other in heartless cold blood; the one lasted mere months, the other had lasted a thousand years; the one inflicted death upon ten thousand persons, the other upon a hundred millions; but our shudders are all for the “horrors” of the minor Terror, the momentary Terror, so to speak; whereas, what is the horror of swift death by the axe, compared with lifelong death from hunger, cold, insult, cruelty, and heart-break? What is swift death by lightning compared with death by slow fire at the stake? A city cemetery could contain the coffins filled by that brief Terror which we have all been so diligently taught to shiver at and mourn over; but all France could hardly contain the coffins filled by that older and real Terror—that unspeakably bitter and awful Terror which none of us has been taught to see in its vastness or pity as it deserves.”
― Mark Twain, A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court
That’s metal af.
A hearing is part of deportation.
Without Due Process it’s literally just human trafficking, which is a felony in every single state.
Without due process Trump would be in jail, so he’s very much aware if it’s importance.
“Cannot give every person it wants to deport a trial” can be freely translated to “nobody would get deported”.
As someone outside the US, I was told that people were very keen on keeping lots of guns to react in case the government tried to pull this kind of shit. When’s the part where they react?
I’m sarcastic; I know why it isn’t happening, and realistically it would be a terrible thing, but, you know, we’re living in the weirdest time.

Well then it can’t deport all the people it wants to.
But at the same time, my faith in the judicial system is… flagging.
And our social contract may be expiring. 🤷♀️
And our social contract may be expiring
It’s been shredded already.
Despite this fact, a lot of us are still holding up our end of the bargain. How do I quit?
You force the people who are breaking the system out.
It’s done.
BUT… some of the more sane sympathizers are starting to realize the King is insane, and are pushing back. Not saying that’s going to save us peasants. but it’s a sign.
They said he was insane the first time around when he called Kim Jong Un ‘rocket man’.
Yeah, the Republic fell a month ago with the first times they ignored the courts and some people seem to think they can give it TV style CPR and get right back to where we were on Jan 18 like nothing ever happened.
Babies, the damage is done. And it’s not even over yet. Place your bets now on 2040 turning the corner back to stability. A lot will come to pass between now and then. That’s 15 years from now. We have passed a generational level of work to rebuild after only 80-some days.
If you don’t already have an actionable plan for what to do next, with defined tripwires of when to do what, you’re very late to the party. Not too late, but late.

Expiring contract? You got traded to El Salvador for a 3rd round pick in 2048 and cash considerations.
Time to get a new agent for a real contract. Unions won them to begin with, which is why they’re a main target of every authoritarian regime.
So due process is no longer a thing.
Got it.
Hey Maga when Trump turns this on you and you piss and moan about no due process… My response will be this
🖕
Let me know when this starts happening.
Do you know how long it would take to try the cases of the 77.3 million people that voted for him?
Go right ahead and set that precedent, please.
They’re already complaining. The Gestapo has already started picking up MAGAts and their wives.
