Wtf kinda answer is this? Trump already invaded Venezuela, kidnapped the president, and no one did anything. Lindsay Graham couldn't stop drooling over that oil.

That's why the US worked so hard to dethrone multiple other leaders deemed terrible by American values and not just military-weak, oil-rich nations to destabilize regions, right? Glad America freed the world of Putin, Netanyahu, Kim, and Xi.

That's irrelevant to the President breaking the law to go after him. If he were that bad, he could have gotten Congress's approval before sending US military into a sovereign nation and abducting it's leader based on some bullshit drug trafficking accusation that he, a week prior pardoned another head of state, for.

The world is full of terrible dictators. The United States is included in that number.
Should we go around kidnapping people from any countries we happen not to like? Because I have a feeling that's going to be a lot more broad than you may expect.

Unless you think the ends justify the means, yes we can forget that.

Nah, let's forget it, because it's totally irrelevant.
You think Trump gave a shit who was in charge there?

Could, but wouldn't. The republicans suck sHitler's dick.

They could also impeach Trump if U.S. invades Venezuela.
iamthetot@piefed.ca · 38 pts · 209d
They could also impeach him for any of the numerous impeachabke offenses he's already done.

If there were any justice, they'd impeach and convict Trump for raping a child. And that would be the only thing non-historians would know about him in the future. That he was a pedophile who was removed from office when they learned that he had raped young children in the past.
JasonDJ@lemmy.zip · 36 pts · 208d
You should've impeached him over Venezuela.
And about 5 more reasons each week since this time last year.
But you don't. And instead you send the message that this is okay, and the American people agree with it.
It's not okay. We do not consent.
ThePowerOfGeek@lemmy.world · 33 pts · 209d
They could. But they won't.

Impeachment doesn’t mean shit unless you remove the childfucker from office for his many wrongdoings.
This is just repugnantcons further muddying the waters, weakening our institutions, and sanewashing the trump regime’s many other criminal acts.

If a democrat did anything that Dump had done in the last decade, there'd be blood on the streets. The Republicunts are the most hypocritical scum in existence.
BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today · 5 pts · 208d
There are no Republicans any more. That was their larval stage before their final form - MAGA.
When this is all over, they aren't going to be able normalize their past by claiming they were always Republicans, not MAGA.
They're ALL MAGA now, no matter what they say.
prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 2 pts · 208d
I think the error here is pretending they're two different things. GOP= MAGA. They are inextricable

And now look at these gestapo scum terrorizing our streets. It makes me sick.

Not sure what impeachment actually does at this point. He's already been impeached twice and I know of no consequences for those.
ShaggySnacks@lemmy.myserv.one · 16 pts · 208d
Trumpie has been impeached twice, convicted several different times, charged with other offences, and more. Yet Trumpie was never truly punished for his behaviour. All this mounted too was some serious finger waving at Trumpie.
GlassHalfHopeful@lemmy.ca · 24 pts · 208d
Sure you will.
You could now.
But you won't.
Talk talk talk blab blab blab.
Treczoks@lemmy.world · 20 pts · 208d
How about doing this before he breaks up NATO?
humanoftheinternet@lemmy.world · 18 pts · 209d
They could! But only after he invades Greenland.
bdonvr@thelemmy.club · 17 pts · 208d
Bruh stfu that term hasn't carried any weight since he's first impeachment where exactly nothing came of it. Nobody cares.

If we do end up annexing Greenland, I expect those fully automated motorized goalposts will be moving at great speed before the effort even kicks off.

Rep. Don Bacon is a wanker. Shit or get off the pot. This wannabe dictator is threatening to shut down elections and post soldiers to US cities that aren't actually in need of it. Do your job and stop flapping your mouth, wanker.

“They say we could impeach him ✋🤚tremendously 👐. People say a lot of things are impeachable 🍑but this one ☝️is the peachiest. I’m gonna call it a 💯perfect 👌imp🍑ment. “
tidderuuf@lemmy.world · 11 pts · 209d
Of course Republicans will impeach after U.S. invades Greenland. Because we will be in the middle of a war with NATO and Putin will just swipe in to take over whatever's left standing.
The GOP really are useful idiots.

Or you know make it so the military knows he needs to ask congress first. NOT wait for him to attack another nation and avoid the position.
BranBucket@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 207d
So that's where we draw the line?
We wait until he's completely fucked overseas relations, destroyed NATO, and handed the world to China on a silver platter. Then we impeach him and say "Oops, our bad! Who knew he'd be that crazy guys? Boy, do we have egg on our face! We're all gonna laugh about this later, I promise..."
Class act. Five of five stars. Best legislature ever.

Republican, so... no you fucking won't. You'll make a stern face, while soliciting the racist freaks that are his voter base.

What the hell does invade mean! Greenland has 55k people living in it, most in Nuuk. They have no active military, no navy... Nothing. What's going to happen? A group of US troops flies in on commercial and plant a flag?
Jesus. My zip code has more people than Greenland!
