We need to clean out the lot of them

Anyone over the age of 40 should be primaried. Anyone who has more income than their public salary gets primaried.

Keep replacing them until their shitty billionaire cliques are destroyed and we have actual representatives in power again.

If the DNC stands in the way we replace the party with a new one.

You know, you could also impeach the guy. That's still an option.

You know, you could also decapitate ~~impeach~~ the guy. That's still an option.

They could, but they won't. If they were serious about impeachment, they would have done it the first time this dickhead was in office.

He was impeached twice his first term. Both times he was acquitted after a majority vote for impeachment.

Yes, sorry, I meant removal. I equate impeachment with removal, and I know it doesn't mean that.

[–] SpikesOtherDog@ani.social 1 points 8 hours ago

It's all good. It burns that he has already been impeached twice and still was reelected to continue his fumbling.

[–] goferking0@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 9 hours ago

Makes sense though. It's useless without removal

I would love to see congress with a spine.

But this won't get past the house, and if it does it is getting vetoed, and if it does they aren't finding another 16 senators to sign onto it because they're all spineless, even the 4 that voted on it.

Yeah. Sure they will. And it will be effective. Uh huh
