    As long as Trump is pres he can pardon any legal persecutions.

    Impeachment will take several months and not start until Jan. The majority leader will block any movement. IIRC he blocked Epstein resolutions and warpowers votes delaying them by months. I can't picture him allowing Whiskey Leaks being impeached

    Your guilt has already been determined, this is merely a sentencing hearing. Now what will it be? Impeachment or resignation?

    Its not about whether hes done anything he could be convicted for criminally (though he has).

    My pasta in Crisco, impeachment and removal is exactly about an elected or appointed official violating legal or ethical codes of conduct.

    Clinton's impeachment was for perjury after he testified that he did not have "sexual relations" with her. The Senate didn't convict because before he testified he asked the House committee to define terms and they defined "sexual relations" as intercourse, so under the definition they gave he did not lie about it.

    Dude needs actual consequences, not an opportunity to walk away without any

    I agree. Although those two outcomes (resignation and prosecution) aren't mutually exclusive.

    Arrest him as soon as he resigns. Send him to Guantoanamo

    Trump will pardon him and I don't think we can bring state charges. He can't pardon impeachment, but the other things he can pardon.

    Add his name to The List.

    Not sure if someone is actively maintaining the top N people that need investigation and punishment, but...

    Vought, Carr, Hegseth, RFK jr, Miller, Bondi, Noem, Musk, Zuckerberg, anyone involved with ICE, all of donnie's family, and of course, donnie himself. But I'm sure I'm forgetting a lot of high-profile scum and there are of course many, many that are lesser known that need to be hauled into court.

    That girl's school did not bomb itself.

    leaked government group chat on Signal

    Military strikes in the Caribbean Sea and Iran

    The ouster and misconduct accusations against senior military officers (such as Lt. Gen. Brett Sylvia).

    As someone who lives in Washington, I have a very different view of Leavenworth.

    While Leavenworth, Washington is a nice little mountain town, Leavenworth, Kansas has something much worse, however it's more fitting for Kegsbreath.

    Like, why? Why give him a choice? Why do they insist on no consequences?

  • source
  • hideshow 5 child comments
  • [–] 12 points 5 days ago

    Because consequences mean investigations and that would expose how the game is rigged and how every single one in politics, government and capitalist plays the system.

    This is a performance, not a correction.

    Fun Fact: You can still impeach him after he resigns.

    And then execute him for treasonous acts in a kangaroo court.

    Learn the lessons of the civil war: kill every last one of them.

    This is not an either/or thing. Pressure him to resign and then impeach him anyway!

    Resignation is unacceptable. Hegseth should be tried and executed for warcrimes and treason.

    So even as unpopular as Hegseth is, would they get 67 senator votes? Even in the new congress? I truly wonder.

    I think if the House presents their case for war crimes, which should be pretty trivial what with the extra-judicial boat strikes and the double-tapping on survivors and Iranian civilian infrastructure, there should be enough military-adjacent Republicans who can also read the mid-term tea leaves who would vote to convict and remove. Start picking apart the admin over the crimes and build it upwards against Krasnov.

    I got a third option right here in case he somehow refuses both the other ones.

    Whatever he chooses, fingers crossed both options end with imprisonment

    Lol kidnapping a leader is hilarious. Do like a canadian leader or slavic leader next. For like a week. I’d giggle if our prime minister just went missing and the states were like yeahhh we’re ganna eventually fire the guy or maybe charge him for this.

    They can hold onto Carney for a little while. I think he's done a decent enough job of convincing other countries to work with us. Maybe if he fucks off to the US for a while we can slow or reverse the environmental rollbacks he's been implementing while the dust is settling. Keep rail development going though.

    Commenting on my own comment, my first inclination was to say "keep the train rolling with rail" but realized that's confusing. Immediately after hitting post I thought of a better way to keep the pun and clarity.

    It might pass in the house, but unless the senate republicans are really looking for a fall guy, there is little chance for a conviction/removal until the new congress is sworn in and by that time Massie is out...

  • source

    A lot of Rs are aligning to say that the reason for the ass kicking in this election was the war. Massie is putting them on the record to either stick to that message and do something about it, or it's just all words and no action, or they'll pivot to a new excuse. If they don't vote to impeach kegsbreath then it will come back to haunt them at the next election in two years.

    "You knew that the war was illegal and immoral and unpopular, and you knew that it even likely caused the blue tsunami in '26, so why didn't you immediately take action to rectify this when Massie reintroduced articles of impeachment? All you had to do was vote to impeach and you refused. Why should your constituents trust you to do the right thing when you've proven that you'll double down on doing the wrong thing?"
