Well… I want this & know so many who do… and it should be doable. “3rd time’s the charm”?
We just need to gather the overwhelming evidence and draft the articles… already done, but we need to update that version. That was 2 months ago, I think.
We need TV/streaming spots with high quality production… Like what The Lincoln Project has put out, before. Maybe 3 different rotating spots that reinforce each other, with “space” to call out Republicans who support the traitors. The spots running in each region need to reference the local Congressional reps, both houses - Reps & Senate.
There’s WAY too much evidence. We need to pound them into submission using the same corporate media levers they do. It’s all incredibly corrupt… like jaw-dropping levels of crime… let’s not pull any punches
And he’s seemingly lost his mind for real… check out MeidasTouch’s video montage of him waving at nonexistent crowds (for propaganda footage???) or stumbling over words or other examples where competence is questionable. There are plenty of witnesses to it.
Funny… I’m watching an international commentator delight over Trump’s sad face at the parade yesterday, and she mentioned that yesterday was a shameful embarrassment for Trump & the American people. I disagree
I am proud of the American people and our turnout at No Kings Day. I would be ashamed if the vanity parade had been more successful, or if protest #’s were too low.
We have a process and we honored the transition of power to the Useful Idiot (for others, not us) when he won the election…. So, given that, the American people are doing what they should do.
Agree about impeachment, but only if we have a very strong hand (yes) and we’re willing to play it to the hilt, with a cohesive strategy and campaign, and with significant Independent support… or a strong belief that we can get there
If not feasible/ viable/ likely, then we don’t have the energy and time to waste
"Treason" and "impeachment" are interpreted as "insurrection" and "coup" in our republican controlled congress. 47, MAGA congress people, and MAGA disciples all think he has a mandate blessed by providence. Until there are several defections of republicans in congress, any talk of impeachment is a waste of time. With the broad immunity bestowed on the president by the Robert's SCOTUS, civil and criminal indictments are pipe dreams.
I am on board with your passion but find it somewhat misguided, respectfully. Immigrants alone have not made our country great because it has never been great. It has never been great because the constitution is the codification of elite, wealthy, white male rule, with a few unenforced rights thrown in to make it sound appealing.
So long as any American citizen is denied equal rights and justice exactly like the rights and justice enjoyed by the elite, wealthy, white males, it is all window dressing to protect the status quo.
Yes yes and yes. But I disagree that people shouldn’t wave flags other than the American. People come here from Mexico and other countries, work at underpaid, unpleasant jobs Americans don’t want, and provide us with indispensable labor to keep our lives running—which we’re soon to find out when there’s no one to do those jobs. They’re basically in the US to subject themselves to exploitation and abuse. They support and contribute to our economy and GDP. But whether they’re citizens or green card or whatever, their heart is still where their roots are. We need to stop pretending we’re doing immigrants a favor, and realize that we’re the ones who are benefitting the most from their presence in our country. I’m so tired of the disinformation machine that spews hatred and lies and distortion 24/7. I hope most cognitively sane people can distinguish between truth and 💩 but there’s still a substantial number who believe the hegseths and rubios and bessents are speaking about reality. I don’t even think they’re human anymore, there’s a vacuousness to their eyes… in the end, they will suffer the most. What does it profit a man to lose his own soul????
You’re essentially right, though I don’t agree that governors should resort to replies like “Fuck that guy.”
The tone of political discourse has been lowered so far that hardly anyone commented on the childish vulgarity of the Trump/Musk breakup. Dignified adults in public office shouldn’t speak the way they did, though in their case, their trash talk served to reveal how very unqualified they both are for the jobs they’d undertaken.
This post misses the point of protesting and devolves into fantasy. If you want Trump impeached, you must have popular support. The point of these protests is to highlight the immoral and illegal actions of the Trump administration. The audience is the American public. The protests can only be successful at convincing the American public that Trump is wrong by being peaceful. Lighting cars on fire is wrong and counterproductive.
Waving Mexican flags isn’t illegal or wrong, but it doesn’t help either. It certainly doesn’t remind Americans that this country was built by immigrants. It plays into fears of cultural change and the BS narrative of a country being taken over by immigrants. Just because the narrative is BS, doesn’t mean it isn’t effective.
Agree with you whole heartedly..I think the issue is that the Maga regime has taken power in the govt and no republicans will go against Trump at this point.. there is no line in the sand..that has been long erased.. but I agree we need to talk about the big elephant in the room, Trump the criminal and get that back in play
Amen, Evan. I wish we would stop tap dancing around the obvious, and call it what it is.
Excellent points. Thank you,
The killings have already begun. They have no plan to impeach Trump.
One more thought… I bet JD can’t wait!!!
He’s a different type of problem… we’ll deal with him later
Yay!

We don't have the votes in the House or the Senate. We cannot impeach until after the midterms and the new Congress is sworn in.

Impeach, convict and remove. NOW

Those who brought the Mexican flag is just to say they are proud of their country too
You have THE RIGHT HERE IN AMERICA TO HAVE THE FREEDOM TO DO AS YOU WISH!’
THATS the whole fucking idea folks!!
The many who have and are protesting are awesome.
