That's because there is a pattern of criminality in GOP administrations that is 70 years long.
Members of the Nixon, Ford, Reagan, Bush, and W. Bush administrations that have been convicted, 113.
Members of the Kennedy, Johnson, Carter, Clinton, and Obama administrations that have been convicted, 3.
Members of those GOP presidents who were sentenced prison, 39.
Members of those Dem presidents who were sentenced to prison, 1.
Factoring in Trump's first term, that's 98% of the convictions and 98% of the prison sentences for GOP administration officials in modern presidential history.
Technically also Trump isn't a practicing real Christian and of course scripture doesn't say anything about America leaders since America wasn't around in Bible timelines
It's the party that enables criminals and at this point is made up entirely of them. You get what you cultivate. When you can't win on policy and ideas and have to cheat to win, you create a party of cheaters.
They're not even hiding that the only thing they really care about is themselves. It's so hilariously arrogant (tragically correct) that they think "help we're gonna be punished for what we did and we'll become POOR" is going to get them votes from Republican voters.
Sadly it will get them votes. Rational thought isn't part of this.
My dad actually asked me: "Do you really not think Trump is trying to make America better?" It's like his brain can't understand how often Trump lies about things that make him "sound good" to them and is actually honest when he's insulting his own base.
Im sorry to say it, but your dad is the perfect example of indoctrination. Like most MAGAS there is a potential suicide bomber in each and every one. The only difference is their leader hasn't ordered it yet. I fear that could be the last desperate actions of a dying regime.
If the ICC wants to even question any of them, they are going be very limited in where they can travel. No more sailing their yachts to the French Riviera.
I think they are trying to say the politicians themselves know they've done something wrong.
I don't go to the grocery store and publicly explain how I'm going to be arrested and tried for killing 4 of my neighbors. In fact, it doesn't even cross my mind because that never happened.
You really think the cowards would do anything? They're so spineless they'd take their win, secure their party's power, maybe make an example of some of the insignificant minions offered up by MAGA as sacrifice, then tell us "it's time for healing" and reconcile. Meanwhile the billionaires will switch allegiance because they don't actually care who's in power so long as their wallets grow, and the bulk of MAGA continues to fester like the Confederacy did after they lost but weren't eliminated. You can't vote our hate and discontent, and too many in the Democrat party are either too soft on traitors or too concerned with preserving their own status to seek justice.
Sadly, my real prediction is that our elections are already so compromised they can't get voted out, or if they do, they bunker down and refuse to give up power. He's basically got a personal army, the cops and courts are in his pocket, they've gutted the military of top commanders who weren't loyal, and his minions have already shown they'll support a coup. If he decides his regime isn't leaving I don't know who's going to evict him. Like, literally, would anyone step up and physically remove these people from their offices should they say "fuck you, I'm staying"?
The best part is, went are they worried about it if he is doing nothing wrong? They all know what he is doing had been fucked. They better hope it is just him and the cabinet and not them for stopping him.
They are trying to frame it like it's a coup. It's a toxic rhetoric. When they know damn well they are complicit with the dismantling of America and should be removed.
This is why their messaging is top tier. Prime mover is the one who gets that well-crafted message out in the public eye early and first, never to be dislodged by facts or new information.
They're trying to poison the well. Been the playbook from the start.
Saying it like this means when it starts happening, they can appeal to their base about it. They want to say it first and say it louder so they can define, in the minds of their supporters, why it's happening.
It won't be dems breaking Republican's unconstitutional obfuscation and protections of illegitimate acts, it will be "the evil libs using power to obstruct republican truths, this is why we have to subjugate them more and give more power to republicans!".
They're trying to control the narrative to make it sound like any attempt to investigate the numerous crimes that Trump, his family, and his Administration have committed is partisan and politically motivated. You know, "Weaponizing the Justice Department".
Then the media, which they own, latches on to this argument and the narrative becomes not "these are the crimes they committed, now they're facing consequences" but instead "the Dems are trying to imprison their political opponents and silence free speech!"
They did it in 2021 as well, and it worked for them.
I believe our Constitution and the 3 separate Branches were all designed as checks on any one Branch exceeding its authority with the Supreme Court providing clarifications of the Constitution as needed to maintain the balance. What we have today is one big Carnival and a SCOTUS thatâs nothing more than a rubber stamp for Trump and his Congress of Oath Breakers.
Actually constitutional review was a power later claimed by the court. Im very serious its not written down anywhere or intended, they just started doing it.

um, it wasn't really the system. it was more right wing media being able to mindfuck so many people and then those people's votes were used to twist the arms of Republican politicians. "do what I tell you or I'll tell your people to fire you." Then proved it with people like Liz Cheney, Kinzinger, Sasse, etc. this was mostly because of stuff like Qanon, Russian propaganda spreading, and then formerly valid right wing media like Fox News having so much control over Republican voters. What started them down the path? Partially silo'ed by the internet. Grandpa and papa voted Republican so me too lead to them viewing Republican stuff which lead to that all they were being shown. Which turned into a drama feeding fest that they became addicted to. Then there was the "I'm going to save you from the rich people that have been screwing you over" part of Trump. It turned out to be all bullshit but now the voters feel stuck by their egos. They'd have to admit they were wrong and most of them can't do that until it's them that's caught under the wheels of Trump's "fuck you if you aren't a billionaire" outlook on humanity.
It's long past time for Dems to take action against gerrymandering in areas which are within out power, instead of just standing on the deck of a sinking ship and wondering what to do (taking bribes along the way in every branch of government). Read: gerrymander in blue states. Fight back for Blue.

Democrats are also paid for by special interest, corporations and billionaires. The electoral college needs to be abolished, term limits need to be enforced, all of his Supreme Court pics need to be nullified. Citizens United needs to be bolstered back up in monopoly need to be broken up with antitrust laws immediately.
Exactly, for too long now we have been confused and inundated with misinformation and finger pointing when really all it is itâs just a paragraph, one paragraph of problems that could fix almost everything weâre seeing. So, I will ultimately be disappointed if we stop at just getting a democrat in the office because thereâs so much more to do.

I disagree with one 4 year term for president, everything else is spot on. Except please add age limits to all of it! No running for anything for the first time past age 65. Mandatory retirement for all of them at 75.
4 years is not enough time for one president to make much of a difference. I do understand that two years of every 4 year term is taken up by campaigning. Maybe change it to one 6 year term. And there should be immediate removal of any politician including the president upon the first violation of the US Constitution.
1 term doesnât make sense. It eliminates the incentive to try to keep voters happy. Look at the guy that is currently in office and the long list of false promises he made to get elected again.
He definitely gives that vibe. Plus he's a dbag who said "it was the first he'd heard about it" regarding something he said. What a lying piece of trash. The man is worthless. I wouldn't trust him with anything.
Honestly, the best thing the Democrats could do if the take both houses is to flood the zone with legislation designed to help the people and reign in executive and judicial overreach. Spending too much time attempting to 'punish' the Trump administration plays into their hands as another distraction. If they have the votes, by all means impeach them allâjust don't drag it out.
That was Bidenâs tactic and that backfired on us all. Lock up everyone responsible for this mess. Think of roles were reversed what would republicans do? Enough is enough
No. That's exactly what Republicans want us to do. Again. Didn't work in the Biden era and it's not going to be a good idea this time. Biden policies did what you want them to do and look where that got us. Global inflation in 2022, the US came back from it better than most, and Biden STILL got blamed for it. They can do both, hold people accountable, and work towards affordability. The problem is we won't have enough to beat back a veto from Trump.
What a bad take. Biden tried to move on and unite the country. Look what good that did? Trump GOP is literary destroying the country, you can't move on from that without punishing these people. The whole Trump family need to be stripped from thei wealth and put in jail. Musk needs to pay multi billion lawsuits and go to jail. Oligarchs need to face the consequances as well as corrupt politicians. Otherwise, you will be back to square one in a short time just like with Biden.
I hate how correct this is. As much as I want them all to face the consequences of their vile behavior, we've got a shittun of work to do to repair our once great nation.
... tho maybe we can do bothđ¤
We have a judicial system that can handle it. The politicians don't even have to be involved. Or just arrest them and turn them over to the UN. Let them handle it.
Excuse me? Trump is committing open corruption in broad daylight. JustâŚlet it slide? Because it plays into their hands? No. Do not let them get away with it, because that is indeed what they want. They want us to let them get away with it.
Too many republicans have walked away, wanting us to deal with it, and hold them accountable. It must be done. Sorry.
None of those âhelp the peopleâ bills stuffed full of other unrelated stuff
They need to make it clear that the republicans are voting against x y and z and not give them excuses to vote against it because they tried to slip something in.
I plan on voting anything but the Republican party, but seeing how a lot of Independents I've seen so far suddenly getting back by Trump. I will most likely be voting on the Blue side.
Same, theyâre saying this just so they can finger point and say âsee we were right!â Never mind the fact that theyâre committing blatant crimes. Predicting that theyâll face the music shouldnât make it go away
I would say that is also up to the non-MAGAnite republicans who hate the cult that formed with a passion... that it is their responsibility and duty too.. Democrats were resoundingly against everything this rogue regime has stood for from the beginning... we tried to warn y'all đŤŠ
Speak for yourself. This Democrat had no idea that the guy that hung out with the likes of Roy Cohn was a bad idea. I didn't think that the guy who managed to bankrupt five casinos would possibly be bad at 'running the country like a business'. I thought the guy who purposely was caught cheating on his wife by bringing his mistress to a family vacation was probably a pretty great Christian. The guy that kicked the working class out of their homes so he could doze them turning out to not care about the working class? I was shocked. What could be wrong inside of a guy that bought a toilet made of gold? Yeah, I had no idea. There just weren't any clues.
I remember those Benghazi hearings they put Clinton through.
11 hours of insults and accusations. For what?
I remember the Jan 6th investigations. Those lead to convictions for real crimes. Trump pardoned the crimes.
There's a big difference between an investigation that leads to convictions and something done for political theater. There's a party of crime and it's about to lose power and face justice, again.
bro the guy was literally caught on tape leaking classified information about the country he's currently attacking even though he wasn't president anymore.
they found classified documents in his shitter.
Republicans still defending him: real question. Do you believe him when he says he can just declassify them with his mind?
For the health of the nation, I just want to see them charged. Future leaders need to know that corruption WILL eventually bite them in the butt in this country.
And even if they were to go after them, did they ever stop to think why that would be? Why after all the years of Reagan and Bush and BushâŚ.why would they go after Trump? Itâs because he is the most corrupt President in the History of the USA, thatâs why. Itâs because of all the damage he has done within the US and with our allies, thatâs why. Itâs because he raped little girls, thatâs why.
Obviously they should. The guy is completely incompetent except when it comes to destroying our country for his own personal gain. He's basically Putin, or Gaddafi, or Kim Jong Un, or Baby Doc Duvalier. He's ransacking us. He's a crook and shouldn't be in any position of power - he should be behind bars.
Huh. Well, hereâs a thought. Maybe if there were no illegal, corrupt, and grifting actions done, or if the GOP did things that actually helped the citizenry, there would be no reason to indict or impeach anyone.
You know I would guess if you werenât committing heinous crimes and acts against Americans you would have nothing to worry about. But since you have not been held responsible up to now, here we are.
I heard Hegseth wants to tie the Hasan guy to a stake for his big Execution Spectacular. He thinks a firing squad for a man who is paralyzed from the chest down won't be be as exciting for the live audiences.
These Trump morons, GOP is so obviously only concerned about Trump. They have 0 concern for Trump voters. Why you would choose to lick boot here is beyond me
You mean the exact same things the Trumpists have been doing? Only in the Trumpist cases (Kelly, Fauci, etc. etc.) It was 100% vendetta, while Trump, Hegseth have many real issues to answer for--startingbwith instigating an attack on Iran for no reason other than to make millions by manipulating the stock market.
If there are impeachable offenses or criminal offenses that, by law have its consequences, such as jail/prison time and such then so be it. Law is Law, shouldn't matter who you are.
