Our constitution has a remedy
Our constitution has a remedy for a lawless, out-of-control executive led by a lawless out-of-control president and vice president and that's articles of impeachment against both of them declaring the full nature of their crimes against the American people.

Remind the American people that they ARE NOT at the mercy of a criminal executive backed by a corrupt supreme court. It is ultimately up to We the People, through our representatives in the House (to set forth offenses against us) and the people we elected to the Senate (to pass judgement on those offenses).

I believe drafting articles and making that the vehicle behind which we organize, whatever the outcome, and however many times introduction is blocked, is the only completely consistent response.

They are commiting crimes against us in plain sight. We have a remedy. This is it and they can draft articles and call on everyone in the nation who is committed to defending our constitution to lobby their representatives to co-sign or be voted out in favor of someone who will.

We ARE NOT POWERLESS.

The most effective way to give the American people the hope they can fix this that is absolutely necessary to mobilize action is to remind them that we created a constitution that gave them an enormous power beyond our power to vote: We gave ourselves the power of impeachment and removal.

The outcome is irrelevant. Do NOT accept "can't win so don't fight" preemptive surrender.

Fighting for the remedy We the People put in place to ensure WE had the ultimate say over an executive who is commiting high crimes against our founding principles is absolutely necessary.

The judiciary may save us, but we must not rely on that. They are not the ultimate judges of what constitutes high crimes against us by a President or Vice President. To demand they condemn the actions as crimes against us, without demanding that our representatives fight for impeachment, is essentially to accept our impotence.

And if members of SCOTUS fail to do their jobs; if they prove themselves co-conspirators in the crimes against us, then we must demand that articles of impeachment be brought against them for those crimes.

We DO have the power.

The replies are worth checking out.

Unfortunately we have too many cowardly Republicans in the Congress. If the Revolution comes, many of them will probably be put up against the wall for their betrayal of America. If they had any principles, they would join the Democrats in the Congress and impeach the criminal fascist in the White House.

When they use "revolution" and "betrayal of America" and talk about folks not having "principles", it really displays the left's reprobatism (if that's a word), and I mean that both in the secular sense and the Romans 1:28 sense.

8. Why would Trump ever allow there to be elections when they will go badly for him?

Trump has already been impeached to no effect. Impeachment without conviction is as satisfying as a hug without the squeeze.

9. If all the power we have is to vote, too often & too many Democrats are complacent

and overconfident about that.
Where did the 6 million votes that Biden got against Trump in '20 go that Harris never got in '24?

Frankly, I think Trump is just waiting for there to be large protests that can be infiltrated by the maga cult to incite violence and looting as an excuse to declare martial law. Perhaps many more smaller protests would be better. We need to find the best way to encourage people to do what they feel they are able to do and not to try and shame them into doing the kind of protests we think they should be doing.

The long and the short of it is that Trump's blitzkrieg of shock and awe did not just spontaneously happen, but has been planned for years while Trump and the magas did their stolen election schtick to make us think they were just stupid hicks. Ironically, I think they were also planning on how to steal the 2024 election right under our noses, and it worked.

Nice spelling...but I digress...

Name a crime. I'll hang up and wait for your answer.

[RonE]

sounds like they're not willing to consider the possibility that their "vision" for America could have been rejected. So it appears they've learned nothing. And, they're determined to continue with that recipe while expecting a different result.

Stolen elections have consequences. You and yours effed around, now you're finding out.

Frankly, I don't think you and yours are capable of rational thought. And, you and yours don't seem to need any incitement. You're already destroying teslas and chargers pretty efficiently without our help.

Oh, look! Its an election denier!

1. Third time won't be a charm, DU-Moron, though Al Green is already and laughably trying.        

2. Pelosiroo isn't Speaker, so Green's silliness won't even get a hearing,         .

3. Are you sure you don't want to try 25th Amendmenting Trump? His cabinet could use the comedic relief.

Like the FBI did on 1/6/21. They only succeeded in jailing a couple thousand people several years without trial, though.

DUmmies appear to always be confusing the democrat party with America. And why are they always behaving like they wannabe the 19th century French? there's no doubt in my mind that if they ever gained permanent and unchallenged control, they would do exactly the same...  the prisons would be full of political opposition, and the firing squads would be operating on 3 shifts. those who were left would be ostracized and starved out.

That's likely true. Look at how they acted with the amount of control they had between 2020 and 2024. Almost the only thing stopping them from coming after those of us who refuse to bow knee to The Party was that they were so busy going after Trump. In my opinion, we owe him a debt for the fight he put up against them because it helped keep them off of us.

Bring it!   

Oh, wait, you guys thought if you impeach both Trump and Vance that harris/walz would suddenly be the new executive branch of government?  You DUmmies need to consider the phrase President Mike Johnson very carefully.

[ADsOutburst]

It's unbelievable how DU's solution to any of the democrats' problems always seems to be doing more of what democrats have already tried.

[Old n Grumpy]

And failed. All their law fare sham impeachments and protests have failed to bring him down. They may rent and rave about all the crime he’s committing. But can’t name one they’re nothing but a pack of sore losers.

By who, ya ****ing clown? The majority conservative military or the majority conservative state and local LEOs? You idiots better slow your ****ing roll. We're the most armed political side in the nation, and we're proficient. We also won the house, senate, popular vote, and electoral college. We also control the majority of state houses and leadership. Get out of your ****ing echo chamber, you leftwing lunatics, before you find yourself on that ****ing wall for trying to start a revolution.

I have no doubts that if the leftists win and take over total control they would execute everyone they consider enemies...

Just like the left has always done.

We ARE NOT POWERLESS.

Uhm...Yeah you are.

History is a bitch.

[SVPete]

Our constitution has a remedy for a lawless, out-of-control House of Representatives impeaching a President based on partisanship, the requirement for a 2/3 majority to remove the impeached President from office. The Dems failed twice, and a third partisan-impeachment won't be a charm beyond -ing for Trump-Hating Dems and Progs.

Yeah, that bus is never late after the Left takes total control of any Government.

[SVPete]

... a lawless, out-of-control House of Representatives impeaching a President based on partisanship, ...The Dems failed twice, ..

Trump survived twice:

The failed Coupeachment of 2019

The unconstitutional failed Shampeachment of 2021

Al Green is trying to gin up a third Coupeachment.

Trump has also survived two Prog assassination attempts. Will the Dems try a third assassination, too?

Our constitution...  [/word salad]

Am I the only one here who can't see these loons use the words "Our Constitution" without hearing this kid singing in the back of my head? Anyone???

[Old n Grumpy]

Like Obama said elections have consequences. We had an election and you lost in a landslide. We weren’t buying what you were selling so sit down and shut up.
