I don’t support impeachment. I support his demise.

Reading his obituary will be more celebrated by me than my own birthday.

[–] Chozo@fedia.io 37 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I support a third attempt.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 35 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I would actually prefer an impeachment and removal from office. That would actually be a huge step in unfucking our current situation

it’s ok; he learned his lesson this time

Yeah, and the lesson is “I can get away with literally fucking anything because Congress is run by a bunch of limpdick imbeciles, fascist enablers, and fascists”

Step 1: Vote for Trump.

Step 2 (less than six months later): Support impeaching Trump.

What's up with this group of people? Were they expecting something different?

[–] Sunshine@lemmy.ca 39 points 1 week ago (2 children)

A large bloc didn’t vote. Donald Trump never went past 49% in approval rating.

[–] ArbitraryValue@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

But isn't the poll specifically of voters?

[–] Lodespawn@aussie.zone 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Maybe they mean eligible voters

[–] TheLowestStone@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

The article states that there were 1171 respondents who consisted of "likely voters across the ideological spectrum."

There is a very large amount of people who straight up don't pay attention to the news and believed trumps lies.

Reminder that the U.S. Government does not do what most American voter's want let alone most Americans.

[–] inclementimmigrant@lemmy.world 32 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (3 children)

Blah, blah, blah.

Most people supported the impeaching the fat fascist in his last term too and it went nowhere because Republicans, independents voted the hard R.

And what's different now? Not a damn thing. This will go nowhere outside of calls from the current Democratic leadership mewling pathetically and ineffectively for bipartisanship just like last time.

[–] CalipherJones@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

There is a damning difference for Trump this term and it's his economic policy. The only thing Magats care more about than Trump is their money.

[–] inclementimmigrant@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

If you looked at the poll, 80% of Republicans started they don't support impeachment.

They stand with the hard R.

[–] GeForce8800GTX@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Yup.

We're seeing some Republicans waver but not enough. Reality is, the only two ways out of this shit:

  1. We miraculously survive til the midterms and somehow still have a Democracy where Republicans are voted out(lol)

  2. The economy gets so disastrously bad that Republicans literally cannot avert their eyes to it anymore. Like, they lose their jobs, their retirement evaporates, their underage kids must start working to be another source of income just to sustain, and things like healthcare become a privilege for the wealthy. But I also wouldn't be surprised if on the way there, Democrats get fed up and do something that we cant come back from. And then the Republicans will blame all the economic issues on that key moment, because that is what's in a Republicans nature. There is a 0% chance they will ever accept any responsibility for this mess.

Either way, the second Trump won this election, we were all fucked. I had no faith in the 1/3rd of the country that voted for Trump - they were long gone. But those 45% of eligible voters that didn't vote, and I know you cock suckers are out there, good job - you fucked all of us over.

And as an aside, its funny to see Florida having discourse about revoking child labor laws. I promise you, what is going to happen is things are going to get so expensive that parents are going to want their kids to be able to work. And that's how we will lose that worker protection. "I don't have to pay for a nanny if my 12 year old works a 9-5". And people like Trump are ecstatic about this outcome.

[–] Reygle@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Hard R

I vote we redefine the popular meaning of this to the way you just used it

What good would impeachment prove when it’s happened twice before and nothing comes of it

[–] toiletobserver@lemmy.world 17 points 1 week ago (2 children)

This time, Congress could stop blowing the cheeto and have him removed. You know, one of the branches keeping the others in check. I know it ain't likely, but a man can dream.

Impeach and Remove. See, I've learned impeachment is toothless without that second bit, have to be very specific with expectations.

For a second, i missread the title as third term instead of impeachment and was like "WTF!!!"

[–] Suavevillain@lemmy.world 19 points 1 week ago

I think removal from office would be better. He can do the third term in his own delusional mind.

Republicans in the Senate are terrified he’ll wreck their careers. I genuinely don’t know what it would take for him to be removed, besides his MAGAt supporters actually calling to have him out of office (we’re past the point of reason). Though, most are too stupid to know when they’re getting screwed until the bill is served.

[–] FreakinSteve@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago (8 children)

This shit will never get fixed until radical fascist media talking heads get dragged into the streets and beaten to a pulp every time they lie through their goddamn traitor teeth about tEh sAtAnIc bAby kIllIng dEmOnCrAts.

Fuck the goddamn First Amendment; if you cant use it responsibly you LOSE IT. These fuckers need to be crushed like the vile, pedophile cockroaches that they are.

it won't happen. buy guns.

it's more important that the people speak with bullets anyway. we need to establish a precedent for people like him. a warning for future idiots and sociopaths. a reason for the rest of the morons to pay attention.

Trump isn't going to give up power willingly. He is openly and gleefully breaking everything with no thought of the consequences. Republicans wouldn't be going along with it unless they think they are untouchable. If they think kidnapping people with no due process and dumping them in concentration camps isn't going to have a consequence, then they are all in. Trusting the rest of their lives on Trump isn't a bet I would take, but I'm just an everyday idiot.

[–] You_are_dust@lemm.ee 7 points 1 week ago (3 children)

I support doing it, but it's ultimately pointless. Nothing will come of it.
