It’s going to be interesting which articles each representative votes for/against for the record.
I hope they drag his ass to a pit and toss him in.
I’d settle for packing him in a box and air dropping him into tehran, and letting Iran do what they please.
I hope he is imprisoned for his crimes and lives in jail for years to come. He’ll be forbidden visitors, same as other gangsters are not allowed to meet with other gang members. Eventually, all of the Republican politicians who supported this administration will hopefully be imprisoned for life.
I like this better.
It’s about to get a lot worse now that the Houthis have Bab al-Mandab Strait too.
And it’s not just them, all the Iranian backed militias have been cross training for the last decade.
I’ve been thinking for a while it’s going to get really really bad right before midterms. Iran knows if Dems get control they’ll reign trump in. They’ll 100% manipulate gas prices to influence the election, especially since Trump burnt thru reserves already
if Dems get control they’ll reign trump in.
What world are you living in?
I think relatively speaking, it is true. However, the reason we got trump 2 is they didn’t do their job the first time. The reason we got trump 1 is because they didn’t do it of Nixon.
Trump in 2028 “No ‘body’ can run for a third term, but I’ve got a shiny new robot body, arrrrooooo!”
Futurama intensifies.
I know it might not be much but I will be sending letters to all my reps after the mid terms to encourage them to go on full offense. I will also be encouraging everyone I know to do the same.
No more compromise, no more working across the aisle. We need to see accountability before we can try to heal fucking anything. The accountability is the medicine.
I hope everyone stops acting negative and starts pushing hard for what’s right. That means all of us in the US write, protest, and make sure those in congress know how people feel.
People on congress will listen if people are angry enough, but if people give up ahead of time with cynicism then we definitely lose.
It’s better to fight and lose than never to fight at all, every time, even if it seems hopeless.

You could take the bank accounts of every one of your reps constituents and it still wouldnt override the buying power one billionaire has over them.
More cynicism, not helpful.
There’s an order of operations to democratic society:
- Vote
- Urge reps to do stuff
- Pitchforks
This fall we do 1, if it fails meaning dems don’t actually win because of fraud then we go to 3. If 1 fails because dems actually lose then this is the will of the country and you try to survive it as best you can.
If 1 passes with dems winning then we go to 2.
If 2 fails we go to 3.
You can’t skip 2, and it is meaningful if a lot of people indicate they will go to 3 if 2 doesn’t work.
Democracy hasn’t failed until you have to get to 3 and everything happening right now is a consequence of 1 going wrong previously so we have to fix it in this order.
Billionaires have blood inside them, there are WAY more of us than them, we just have to make them afraid and the implied threat in 1 and 2 is we end in number 3.
History is full of cases where the people rose up and hung the elites. Elites know this history they just always do their best to try to get the people to fight amongst themselves.
Don’t take the bait, don’t become a cynic, don’t give up because democracy dies in darkness.
You think thing would be the same if Republicans didn’t control every aspect of the federal government?
I didn’t say that. Just that they don’t fix the damage the republicans do. They’re the ratchet. Republicans fuck everything up. Dems keep things mostly the way they are.
Then you’re almost definitely talking about neoliberals, who have controlled the party in a year and a half
Ok.
This is a perfect response to weird politicobabble
i hate that it feels like this is the closest thing to justice we’ll get for a lot of this shit hegseth is doing at krasnov’s behest
He is also responsible. If you can’t get at the don straight, you can go after the capos. Let’s hold them all responsible, one at a time. Let’s do this one right now.
Jesus christ a fucking weekend news anchor for a propaganda channel as the fucking defense secretary? That is a joke that should be impeached in it itself.
Wasn’t he supposed to get the Epstein files also?
If I remember correctly Johnson called a recess which meant they couldn’t vote on it. He can’t do that with this apparently as it has a very short timeline as to when it has to be voted on as it’s considered high crimes and misdemeanors
Edit
Well this fucking aged like milk. Didn’t expect another recess after only 7 days. Wtf
He did more about it than the majority of other Congressmen, as his co-authored E.F.T.A passed and was signed by President Epstein himself. He also read a list of redacted names on the House floor to expose Epstein accomplices.
As if Hegseth is the one ultimately making these decisions. Give me a fucking break 🙄
Reminder Kegsbreath is a blood thirsty christofascist who has direct contact with the pastor of that one cult of dipshits trying to take over Moscow Idaho. Even if he ain’t calling all the shots it’s almost garunteed he is still calling a solid chunk of them, assuming he doesn’t want to do those being called for him anyways. Frankly speaking death is too good for him and his ilk, sadly a good old bit of religious genocide is probably the only way to stop the… Oh who am I kidding there ain’t nothing sad about it.
Did you think that I was defending this guy?
No. Moreso pointing out that even if he ain’t the one pulling the strings eliminating him from the board would still be a good move. Missing the trees for the forest is just as bad as missing the forest for the trees since they are one and the same and must be viewed both independently and as a whole.
You’re impeaching the wrong person. He who shall go unnamed will just find another syncophant to replace him.
Theatrics, nothing more.
Holding people responsible is not theatrics.
It shows very broad discontent from within their own party, that’s big in itself and might lead to further rifts. This is a clear signal of dissent in an otherwise monolithically aligned group, and it matters quite a bit.
The USA decided long ago that this was fine. See Reagan, Bush Sr., Clinton, Bush Jr., Obama, Biden, and Trump.
Thousands upon thousands of drone strikes, missiles, bombs, et al, at will, without regard.
The CIA is black budget. None of us are aware of what they are doing, we only know some of what they did long ago, and that was horrifying. Most of congress is as oblivious as we are.
These boat strikes are the least of it. The question to me is, why are they making this public?
That’s the stupidest shit I’ve heard in a coons age.
Only the Republicans on that list engaged targets outside a strike zone that Congress had already approved.
Bin laden was already a pre-approved target, as was any AO he occupied
oh! time for the next show from the uniparty 😂
