Impeachment without conviction and removal has become meaningless. He probably would welcome impeachment at this point because it fits his beleaguered and persecuted narrative. Yes, he should be impeached. And it is not enough.
We need at least a majority in both the House and the Senate. With a majority in the Senate we can modify the rules so that Senators can vote by secret ballot without fear of reprisal. Same reason we use Secret ballots in our elections. Sure, Senators SHOULD be brave enough to publicly state their votes, but they have proven they are not that brave.
Yes, but it is also HOW we win, by providing an actual, pragmatic plan to remove Trump, but if we want to win we also have to present plans for legislation etc... for what we can do once we also have the white house. Dangle it all out there so people can see what they are voting for, not just what they are voting against.
For the impeachment itself, we should prepare that openly, in advance, so people can see ALL the reasons to remove Trump. "Flood the zone" with overwhelming number of reasons to remove Trump from office with overwhelming evidence. Once we win the 2026 elections, the removal should be quick and decisive with popular opinion already on our side, basically a 'mandate'.
Wow, that is the best you can do? Assume that any thought opposed by you must have come from a communist country? I love democracy, unlike Trump who famously tried to overthrow a free and fair election, and then when he did get elected again, immediately pardoned all the vioilent insurrectionists, giving them 'Aid and Comfort'.
Forget impeachment. Remove him by any means necessary. Arrest his entire cabinet for treason and high crimes, and deport the lot of them to a war zone.
Exactly. Everybody throws that word around…There’s a LOT more to it. The thug has BEEN impeached.. he was not Convicted…and here we are.
Same thing goes for the 25th Ammendment. Yes. It should happen…BUT..Folks need to understand what it takes to make that happen. Both of these procedures require a Functioning Bipartisan Congress…A willing Cabinet… Trump's “own people” in the Cabinet and Congress would have to be on board. I'm sure there is stuff I'm accidentally leaving out, ut that's the general gist of it.
Nixon - never happened, because it was obvious from the Republicans that it WOULD happen.
Clinton - lied under oath in a civil case that failed because even if every accusation was true, it was still not against the law (per the judge), about an extramarital affair, on the basis of the definition of 'sex'. Not exactly a constitutional issue or relating in any substantial way to the governance of the nation, bribery, insurrection etc... Not convicted in the senate.
Trump (1st) - Brought a narrow charge about abuse of power in foreign affairs with very strong evidence. Republicans claimed at the very beginning of 2020 that "we should let the people decide" in an election 11 months away.
Trump (2nd) - Brought a narrow charge focused on his efforts to violently overthrow the fair election of Biden (People decided). Since the major aspect of the crime happened on Jan 6, (16 days before Biden took office) and the trial was held after Trump was no longer in office, so that all that would be decided was his inability to hold office again, and as later decided by SCOTUS, his ability to be charged for crimes committed during his time in office, the Republicans claimed the impeachment was improper because it was 'too late', he was already out of office, and he could be charged with the crimes in court...
So, we have learned that Republican politicians are afraid of Trump, and that they will evade taking responsibility to publicly remove Trump, finding any bogus argument they can. So this time we Flood the Zone. Bury them in Trump's massive widespread systematic violations of his oath, his endless crimes and bribery etc... and negate all their excuses. If we are prepared ahead of time, we can impeach right away, close to two years before the next election, while still in office. Per the constitution Trump can not be elected President again. It will be obvious his crimes go far beyond some technicality, and we will ensure each senator can vote without fear of reprisal, by using secret ballots, just like in our elections.
Yes!! You're right. I agree with all of that. I remember, Was alive for all of it. We have our work cut out for us…but yes.. It needs to happen and I hope you are right. That strategy could work! 👍👍👍👍🙏
Like impeachment/conviction/removal, action under the 25th Amendment depends on Congress. Congress must decide whether the president is incapacitated by a two-thirds vote. With its current makeup, that scenario is hard to envision. And even if he were removed, the vice president then becomes Acting President. I fear we have a better chance of aliens coming to save us all than we do relying on the 25th Amendment, unfortunately. (winking emoji)
This is a worn thin narrative that was never going to hold water. There was one shot your reps had, and they refused to take it, because “they're ALL in a big club and YOU AIN'T IN IT”
Absolutely impeach. But Congress is complicit, the Supreme Court is complicit, the wackos in the administration are complicit. They have the ICE army. Who is left? The Fantastic Four?
You'll lose the vote, AND you'll still be here, still being sucked dry of your resources. You actually have no say at present, and there is only one logical solution beyond open revolution which would get VERY UGLY.
To take the power they seek and use it against them. They seek totalitarian control, do they not? Mind, that this is a solution fir making much shorter work of things than it otherwise would be. My blueprint is to have the legalities and clarity thereof, handled inside of 10 years, and a majority of major infrastructure upgrades well underway. But in order to make short work of it, will require a document of my design, that localized all military units instead of having them abroad. Trim down to a small number of bases off-shore and rein in certain three letter agencies but putting THEM under the type of scrutiny the "overlords" have otherwise designed to monitor and control "the people".
It would appear to me that reading comprehension on your part, involves a faulty filter. You should clarify when covering subject matter, if you're addressing something Trump said or something I said.
Thank you for all you do, David! I enjoy listening to your voice of reason and your factual reporting- it echoes my thoughts I’m sometimes unable to put into words as eloquently and articulately as you do! Thank you! 🙏🏻 💕 🇺🇸
I hear this from the neighbors: Trump and the Christian Nationalists on the Supreme Court and the republican puppets in Congress aim to fully tear down the existing structure of the United States. They will subdue any resistance with the military while they rebuild the country following the Christian Nationalist blueprint. This has been the plan all along. Trump and his loyalists are in it for power. The true Christian Nationalists are in it for eventual ultimate control.
YOU are Spot ON!! This is NO joke and people NEED to take ALL of this SERIOUSLY!!!
IF they don't, they will be crying for the rest of their lives! Mark My Words. These people ARE terrorists and this is how they operate in terrorist countries. I'VE seen this coming for a decade when Trump stuck his nose into politics. THIS is like another Crusade! When this is over, the Heritage Foundation being a terrorist org., MUST be dismantled and people PROSECUTED!!!! I'm SERIOUS!!! The same with those on in the Federalist Society! THEY plotted too!!! THIS place needs a SWEEPING CLEANING OUT with a TON of PROSECUTIONS lined up. I am NOT kidding or making this up. THIS is more dangerous that most Americans realize. And when we accomplish that, we go after the DIRTY 1/2 DOZEN siting their worthless asses in SCOTUS! THEN we pick 6 more to take their places with TERM LIMITS! "Term Limits for Everyone!!"
I forgot to mention that my neighbors fly Trump's Never Surrender flag above the U.S. flag. It is important to acknowledge that many seemingly normal Americans want this. Why? America doesn't work for them any more. They thought they would be better off than their parents and their children would be better off than them.
I agree with your points, Laura. One thing that is a mystery to me, observing from outside the Divided States of America, is why the Christian Nationalists are not considered a terrorist organisation. Is this not more serious than the free speech issue? Or at least AS serious as the violation of your First Amendment rights?
Just an additional side note here: They will be re-writing your Constitution for sure.
I'm aware of far-right, white supremacist, CN pushing for a new Constitutional Convention with the aim of bending/changing the Constitution to their warped philosophy and misinterpretation of scripture. We will be far worse as a country than people can even imagine - especially women, minorities, and anyone who is not of the correct religious sect. The government has long been reluctant to label religious cults terrorists unless they espoused fire bombing, assassinations, or similar, which is what NAR (New Apostolic Reformation) has called for with their Seven Mountain Mandate. But, as they say, "Too late. The fox is in the henhouse."
WoW! I was not aware of the NAR or their Seven Mountain Mandate, Laura. I also didn't know that the CN actually has a plan to re-write the Constitution. It just seemed to me to be a logical progression of what I had learned about them. Thank you for this additional information, very depressing though it may be.
As for how women would be treated, wasn't there a public statement about even taking the VOTE away from women? That on top of the other brutalities that women are already experiencing in your country? Despicable (to understate the matter).
You haven't been keeping up. There was indeed a proposal to take the vote away from women. I never said it was in the damned Project 2025. Talk about GULLIBLE!
It sounds like you have a lot to learn about what a democracy actually is. In point of fact, your country has never had one. If my assumption as to which country you live in is incorrect, I apologise.
Everything still in place now, partially or fully, wb destroyed & replaced w their facist beliefs (i.e., Project 2025). This will inspire & embolden others like-minded around the globe (Bannon, Farage (sp), Orbahn & that group have been busy growing it overseas.)It could well ultimately destroy the world! But I dont think they're looking that far ahead! The part I don't get is how businesses will thrive without the front line workers & the customers. I guess in their minds AI will take care of that somehow...but since AI is NOT YET READY FOR PRIME TIME (imo) I am not seeing it. Or are they considering how all the data ctrs, coupled w no EPA standards or fed regs will SPEED UP the destruction of the planet so it will much more swiftly become NOT SUSTAINABLE FOR ANY LIVING BEINGS. --So I see their immense greed wiping out a great deal. What I don't see is any survivors in such a vastly degraded world.-- So WHO wb the 'winners' then??????? Hmmmm?
The cockroaches, ants, some spiders, and the alligators and crocodiles will likely survive. Maybe the dust mites. Possibly even some MAGATs will survive if they can last in their underground bunkers or on Mars for a few millenia, but they will be highly inbred.
Apologies. My dumbphone wouldn't accept your pseudonym as real and changed it to "Sue". No offence intended. (And it just tried to change my correct spelling to American but fortunately I caught that potential error in time.) Again my apologies about not getting your fake name right.
He has also taken bribes. Lots and lots and lots of bribes. In fact, he is so freaking blatant about it, that there will be "sponsor bricks" in the new ballroom. Bribery is in black letter text in the Constitution as an impeachable offence.
We know obama was because he was the epitome of everything your president wasn't black and smart. You literally have a pedophile running the country in which my child can speak more clearly than him. I know you like trumo because he speaks the same language as you trailer park trick. You and trump speak the language of dumb. Bite one trailer park b*tch
I can't wait to see when it's YOU he comes after. He has told you many times, he DOES NOT care about you but you think, oh he's just being trump or he's just kidding it was a joke.
Ahem. Yes, his assault on the Constitution's First Amendment alone is enough for an impeachment to follow through. But, don't I remember him NOT putting his hand on the bible or raising it while taking THE OATH to that Constitution ? But one must ask how has he been able to get this far. It truely is unbelievable that with the long, long list of actual overt, blatant and convicted crimes, social faux pauxs, nuzzling up with the likes of vlad & BB the baby killers, not to mention the newly posted picts fondling minors that he is still violating 1600 Pennsyvania Ave !!! WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE, THIS GOVERNMENT, THIS NATION AND PEOPLE ! ? We are entrenched in an historic moralistic, virtuistic, decency and humanistic low point as a nation, government and people ! As personified by our questionably elected,(election tampering and interference ?) MISTAKE OF A POTUS !!!!
Good luck even bringing the bastered before an impeachment hearing. America has better chance he chokes on a cheeseburger. Sadly, change has to come from the ballot box.
I wholly agree with your justification for impeachment based on the First Amendment, but the man has done SO MANY unrelated impeachable things, it is ridiculous it has gotten to this point at all.
Hmm, let’s see. There are the First Amendment violations like threatening and withdrawing funding from universities. We can add to that his usurping Congressional authority and taking away funds that Congress has appropriated. Not only that, he has used his position and authority to threaten the media and law firms.
He has grossly profited during this term, with his cryptocurrency, bitcoin and other financial moves, adding $3 billion to his net worth this year.
Violation of the Posse Comitatus Act and abusing the reach of the military and federal law enforcement.
I could go on all day about grabbing back scientific research funds, accepting gifts from foreign governments and just being a nepotistic criminal, but you should get the gist.
If Bill Clinton could be impeached for obstruction and perjury over Paula Jones and Monica Lewinsky, then your boy’s laundry list could support a multitude of articles of impeachment.
😄 I’m not a leftie. I’ve probably voted for more Republicans than you have, but since it wasn’t Trump or his cohort, I guess that would make me a RINO. Keep enjoying your “better life.” Come back in 3 1/2 years and tell me how you feel then.
Sure. Tell me all about myself, you know me so well. I will agree that Harris is/was worthless, but that doesn’t change the fact that Trump is, too. You can have it both ways, you know. Have a day.
I wholeheartedly agree, although I fear our Democrats at the top of leadership are impotent at best in taking action to stop this regime from taking hold of our democracy
Not only the First Amendment but also the Emoluments clause, the attempted and sometimes successful violations of habeas corpus and the statutes prohibiting the use of the military domestically ( the Posse Comitatus Act? Me not sure). These are what I could think of off the top of my head, but there are more instances.
Trump sees himself as a Founding Father, but by attacking the First Amendment he acts as a Founding Demolisher. The founders built safeguards against tyrants; he’s trying to become the very one they sought to stop.
Trump wanted to be a Founding Father. History will remember him as #DemolitionDad.
A real father builds a home. Trump tears down a nation. #DemolitionDad
The Founders wrote the First Amendment to protect freedom. Trump wants to rip it apart. #DemolitionDad
You don’t defend liberty by silencing voices. That’s not leadership, that’s #DemolitionDad.
From “Father of a Nation” to “Dad of Destruction.” #DemolitionDad
Yes, Trump must be impeached and removed from office, for LOTS of reasons.
We have seen that impeachments are very political in how the legislature handles them. TOO many Politicians are more focused on their next election and staying in office, than on fulfilling their oaths of office. Trump still has too much influence over the MAGA base and others who will vote as he tells them to, meaning Republicans who oppose him will be primaried and lose their seat.
Until we have the majorities we cannot change the rules.
First off, the impeachment this time should cover EVERYTHING that is even remotely a valid reason to remove Trump from office, and that includes EACH and every bribe, extortion, criminal act, violation of the constitution and our laws which he has been doing wholesale... His failing mental health which was the foundation of the 25th amendment, showing it is a valid reason for removal. Include the obstruction charges carefully listed in the Mueller report, obstructions committed while in office. Include the First impeachment charges again, because many voted against it on the basis of 'let the voters decide' because that worked so well last time... His violation of the 14th amendment, section 3 when he pardoned all of those insurrectionists. It include all of the crimes etc of Jan 6, because their claim last time was it was not valid because he was no longer president... Go BIG, and then make the vote in the Senate, for removal, and per crime, by secret ballot. Noting that each individual count of each crime constitutes by itself sufficient reason to remove from office. In our elections we use Secret ballots for a reason, and that reason exists in congress on issues that are very political in nature, such as convicting a president.
If you want to impeach Trump, make the case, by listing ALL of the reasons, along with the evidence to back the charges. Remember, this is not a court of law, so make the reasons compelling reading, not for the law students but for the people. They do not need to be limited to crimes that can be charged in a court of law. Place the charges in categories, each with a number of charges in that category. Then make it easy to access and read by anyone and everyone, then just point to it. Any time Trump or others lie about it, just point to the site and all the evidence there.
Impeachment without conviction and removal has become meaningless. He probably would welcome impeachment at this point because it fits his beleaguered and persecuted narrative. Yes, he should be impeached. And it is not enough.
We need at least a majority in both the House and the Senate. With a majority in the Senate we can modify the rules so that Senators can vote by secret ballot without fear of reprisal. Same reason we use Secret ballots in our elections. Sure, Senators SHOULD be brave enough to publicly state their votes, but they have proven they are not that brave.
It's WHY we HAVE TO win.

Dangle it all out there so people can see what they are voting for, not just what they are voting against.

Why don't you nimrods, go back to cuba?
Wow, that is the best you can do? Assume that any thought opposed by you must have come from a communist country? I love democracy, unlike Trump who famously tried to overthrow a free and fair election, and then when he did get elected again, immediately pardoned all the vioilent insurrectionists, giving them 'Aid and Comfort'.

Forget impeachment. Remove him by any means necessary. Arrest his entire cabinet for treason and high crimes, and deport the lot of them to a war zone.
Bring it Debra! Educate yourself.You will look less silly.
Thank you!
Great, just what we need is more secrecy.In our government. After the biden fiasco I think it would be nice if we had less secrecy in government
Are you saying we should no longer have secret ballots in our elections?
Why? Are you saying you WANT to persecute people who do not vote the way you want them to?
Exactly. Everybody throws that word around…There’s a LOT more to it. The thug has BEEN impeached.. he was not Convicted…and here we are.
Same thing goes for the 25th Ammendment. Yes. It should happen…BUT..Folks need to understand what it takes to make that happen. Both of these procedures require a Functioning Bipartisan Congress…A willing Cabinet… Trump's “own people” in the Cabinet and Congress would have to be on board.

Impeachments in 'modern' memory:
Nixon - never happened, because it was obvious from the Republicans that it WOULD happen.
Clinton - lied under oath in a civil case that failed because even if every accusation was true, it was still not against the law (per the judge), about an extramarital affair, on the basis of the definition of 'sex'. Not exactly a constitutional issue or relating in any substantial way to the governance of the nation, bribery, insurrection etc... Not convicted in the senate.

What about the 25th amendment?
Like impeachment/conviction/removal, action under the 25th Amendment depends on Congress. Congress must decide whether the president is incapacitated by a two-thirds vote. With its current makeup, that scenario is hard to envision. And even if he were removed, the vice president then becomes Acting President. I fear we have a better chance of aliens coming to save us all than we do relying on the 25th Amendment, unfortunately. (winking emoji)
They're all complicent!
100% we won’t be successful with the current makeup of the government. I’m hoping after midterms that can change.
100%

Stop it.
A trial for the whole GOP for Treason...and the Supreme Court judges who voted yes to protect tRump.
This is a worn thin narrative that was never going to hold water. There was one shot your reps had, and they refused to take it, because “they're ALL in a big club and YOU AIN'T IN IT”

It's WHY we MUST win. If not, the country is GONE. PLEASE be SURE to VOTE! And please encourage your neighbors.
The vote happened. The majority rejected leftism. The orange man and all his flaws was more tolerable than the left.
It'll be too late by then:(
You'll lose the vote, AND you'll still be here, still being sucked dry of your resources. You actually have no say at present, and there is only one logical solution beyond open revolution which would get VERY UGLY.
And that wb…????
To take the power they seek and use it against them. They seek totalitarian control, do they not? Mind, that this is a solution fir making much shorter work of things than it otherwise would be.

You can’t call for violent revolution after you condemn the J6 people. You are literally the same thing if that is truly what you believe.
It would appear to me that reading comprehension on your part, involves a faulty filter. You should clarify when covering subject matter, if you're addressing something Trump said or something I said.

This may be the last chance the Republicans can free themselves from Trump ..vote to convict
I fear they do not want to be free of Big Daddy!
It is time to impeach Trump and JD Vance. They are trying to destroy democracy, our freedom of speech. And bankrupting our country. 🤬🤬🤬

Yes to Vance's impeachment as well as I've heard he's the Heritage Foundation's golden boy.
WoW Sue!! What a bizarre comment. (And with no indication of what it is a response to.

You are the joke Side.
Life was too good for y then? Paying off republicans debt and creating jobs, saving homes from bankruptcy? Maybe y need to move to Russia?

You voted for this and are owning It. A common felon and child rapist. Unprove that.
Thy forked tongue is orange
An old, obscure, never used law is still a law. He broke it and was convicted, but you justify putting a felon in the WH. Good job.
You think you’re “winning” and “owning the libs,” huh? “Buckle up” is something a child would say, but don’t worry, I’ll survive the 3 1/2 years.

We can add to that his usurping Congressional authority and taking away funds that Congress has appropriated. Not only that, he has used his position and authority to threaten the media and law firms.
He has grossly profited during this term, with his cryptocurrency, bitcoin and other financial moves, adding $3 billion to his net worth this year.
Violation of the Posse Comitatus Act and abusing the reach of the military and federal law enforcement.
I could go on all day about grabbing back scientific research funds, accepting gifts from foreign governments and just being a nepotistic criminal, but you should get the gist.
If Bill Clinton could be impeached for obstruction and perjury over Paula Jones and Monica Lewinsky, then your boy’s laundry list could support a multitude of articles of impeachment.
I’m not discussing this with you further.
😄 I’m not a leftie. I’ve probably voted for more Republicans than you have, but since it wasn’t Trump or his cohort, I guess that would make me a RINO. Keep enjoying your “better life.” Come back in 3 1/2 years and tell me how you feel then.
Sure. Tell me all about myself, you know me so well. I will agree that Harris is/was worthless, but that doesn’t change the fact that Trump is, too. You can have it both ways, you know. Have a day.
Like what?!? WAKE UP
What a waste
No one wastes time w you.
Blue is the new red
I wholeheartedly agree, although I fear our Democrats at the top of leadership are impotent at best in taking action to stop this regime from taking hold of our democracy
Not only the First Amendment but also the Emoluments clause, the attempted and sometimes successful violations of habeas corpus and the statutes prohibiting the use of the military domestically ( the Posse Comitatus Act? Me not sure). These are what I could think of off the top of my head, but there are more instances.
Time is ticking....FFS
Trump sees himself as a Founding Father, but by attacking the First Amendment he acts as a Founding Demolisher. The founders built safeguards against tyrants; he’s trying to become the very one they sought to stop.
Trump wanted to be a Founding Father. History will remember him as #DemolitionDad.
A real father builds a home. Trump tears down a nation. #DemolitionDad
The Founders wrote the First Amendment to protect freedom. Trump wants to rip it apart. #DemolitionDad
You don’t defend liberty by silencing voices. That’s not leadership, that’s #DemolitionDad.
From “Father of a Nation” to “Dad of Destruction.” #DemolitionDad
So yes, obviously ! It's time - again - ...

Yes, Trump must be impeached and removed from office, for LOTS of reasons.
We have seen that impeachments are very political in how the legislature handles them. TOO many Politicians are more focused on their next election and staying in office, than on fulfilling their oaths of office. Trump still has too much influence over the MAGA base and others who will vote as he tells them to, meaning Republicans who oppose him will be primaried and lose their seat.
Until we have the majorities we cannot change the rules.
First off, the impeachment this time should cover EVERYTHING that is even remotely a valid reason to remove Trump from office, and that includes EACH and every bribe, extortion, criminal act, violation of the constitution and our laws which he has been doing wholesale... His failing mental health which was the foundation of the 25th amendment, showing it is a valid reason for removal. Include the obstruction charges carefully listed in the Mueller report, obstructions committed while in office. Include the First impeachment charges again, because many voted against it on the basis of 'let the voters decide' because that worked so well last time... His violation of the 14th amendment, section 3 when he pardoned all of those insurrectionists. It include all of the crimes etc of Jan 6, because their claim last time was it was not valid because he was no longer president... Go BIG, and then make the vote in the Senate, for removal, and per crime, by secret ballot. Noting that each individual count of each crime constitutes by itself sufficient reason to remove from office. In our elections we use Secret ballots for a reason, and that reason exists in congress on issues that are very political in nature, such as convicting a president.
If you want to impeach Trump, make the case, by listing ALL of the reasons, along with the evidence to back the charges. Remember, this is not a court of law, so make the reasons compelling reading, not for the law students but for the people. They do not need to be limited to crimes that can be charged in a court of law. Place the charges in categories, each with a number of charges in that category. Then make it easy to access and read by anyone and everyone, then just point to it. Any time Trump or others lie about it, just point to the site and all the evidence there.
