Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a New York Democrat, ripped Donald Trump for his military attack against Iran on Saturday, saying the move is “absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.”
Ocasio-Cortez ripped the president’s action on X, formerly Twitter, and wrote, “The President’s disastrous decision to bomb Iran without authorization is a grave violation of the Constitution and Congressional War Powers. He has impulsively risked launching a war that may ensnare us for generations. It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.”
On the other hand, Senator John Fetterman, a Pennsylvania Democrat, came to Trump’s side and wrote on X, “As I’ve long maintained, this was the correct move by @POTUS. Iran is the world’s leading sponsor of terrorism and cannot have nuclear capabilities. I’m grateful for and salute the finest military in the world.”
Mussolini got dragged through the streets and him and his gf’s lifeless corpses were hung upside down for all of Rome to see.
Weird fact. Not sure why I’m thinking of it
There is an old quote -
“The plight of the oppressed ends with the oppressor. Mussolini found this to be true, as will others.”
8647
Now THAT’s a PRIME NUMBER
Thank you for your attention to this matter
Primed & ready, you mean? That part of my math education’s a little hazy. 🙇🏼♂️
It was Milan. Though I’m sure the people of Rome were more than welcome to go see his bespatted husk.
My bad thanks for clarifying!
Not at all.
I only remember because I recently watched that Ordinary Things video about him.

Franco died peacefully in his sleep at the age of 83, a fabulously rich celebrity who was officially mourned by the state for a month.
Spain changed a lot since then thankfully
Is he still dead?
According to Chevy Chase
The upside of that was that it put his fellow conspiritors off trying to follow in his footsteps.
🤔
Only a rag would quote Fetterman and credit him as a Democrat. He doesn’t act or believe what he did when he was elected as a Democrat, his perspective is irrelevant.
I’ve watched Fetterman’s 180 from across the pond. Don’t really understand what happened and what made him flip.
He had a stroke that damaged his brain.
Stop spreading that. It’s not true.
Fetterman was a shitty mayor before his current office. He chased after a blackman with a shotgun because the guy was simply jogging in his neighborhood. He vandalized local business in the middle of the night that he didn’t like.He firmly stated he was not progressive during his run for office. The Republicans labeled him a progressive librel to try and smear him. He was never progressive, ever. The stroke did not change his views. He is and always was a slimy politician .
So, I like this idea, and the recent expose indicates that the stroke has essentially rendered him non compis mentis, but do you really think the brain damage turned him conservative? Were there no red flags before? I genuinely don’t know enough about the guy.
There were definitely red flags before, it’s just that people ignored them because he was better than Dr. Oz. There’s a good Some More News video that goes into it.
They took him into a room and said “hey, do you want a mountain of legal bribes? If not, we will primary you with that same mountain”
Keep screaming impeachment when clearly that doesn’t work…he belongs in jail ya know for being a 34 count felon rapist seditionous traitor.
You know that that also did not work, right?
Yes clearly.
America is a shit show. Americans have shown they are ok with this.
Those with the authority to do their jobs and jail trump willfully abdicated their responsibility to do so. Yeah, there absolutely is a subset of this population aggressively driving us toward an oligarchy and authoritarian kleptocracy, but the majority of American citizens would prefer to see the law upheld. We don’t want a three-tiered legal system, the bottom jails first and throws away the key, the middle bleeds you dry with legal costs, and the top has no rules or consequences.
Don’t bunch us all up with the government. The government is ok with it being a shit show. Many voted against it. Many of us don’t agree.
Assuming the election wasn’t hacked, yeah…
I have my doubts about the election (and I’m a big data engineer with a cyber security cert)
Sadly very true.
This one might actually stick since the Republican party is split over this.
traitor
Yeah, that’s the problem with Trump, he’s not a loyal patriot…
I want him actually removed from office. He was already impeached. Twice! It didn’t do anything.
To get him removed from office, you have to first get the House to vote (50%) to Impeach him. That is actually doable. But then the Senate has to hold a trial and somehow get 67 senators to vote to convict him. That would take every Dem and Independent and something like 20 Republicans to vote to convict. I agree with you, but I don’t see that happening.
The only other way is by using the 25th Amendment which says, in part:
Whenever the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall immediately assume the powers and duties of the office as Acting President.
Vance and all of Trump’s appointed toadies would have to send a letter to the House and Senate saying Trump in not capable of being president. And even if, by some miracle that happened, the next step is for Congress to hold votes in both the House and the Senate needing two-thirds of both houses to declare that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office. Even if they somehow pulled that off in the House, it would still take 18 or 20 Republican senators to cross over and vote him out.
I just don’t see any legislative way out of this. The Republicans in the House and Senate are simply not going to let it happen. They have too much power and no morals.
Doesn’t matter they should still introduce the bill
I don’t disagree. If nothing else, it forces Republicans in the House and maybe even the Senate to go on record supporting Trump’s crimes, so that maybe in the midterms we can take away their domination in Congress, but it is not the real solution. This administration is the GOP’s recurring wet dream for the last 40 years. They will do anything to keep Trump in office.
Impeachment is how you do that…
The house brings articles of impeachment, and term it’s up to the Senate to decide whether or not the president should be convicted, and thus removed from office
There’s another way, a more powerful way. But I don’t think the U. S. people has the resolve to do what their founding fathers did.
The US founding fathers never overthrew their leader. They just stopped answering the mail of a guy on the other side of the Atlantic.
Cool. So since she’s a member of the house of representatives, she must have initiated proceedings for impeachment, right?
Edit: I am happy to see that she did (or rather joined in with Al’s), and it served a useful purpose of highlighting what posers the rest of the Dems are with their resounding votes against.
its not a good idea to introduce something in Congress if you dont have support
Can you elaborate on why? Genuine question. It seems like if the alternative is also not getting what you want, then there isn’t much to lose?
im not an expert on congressional procedure but considering that the Republicans have a majority in both the house and Senate, an impeachment vote would always fail because they would never go against trump. also, its not a great look if a representative is always introducing bills that are rejected by a vote, die in committee, or are never even put on the schedule. just think about how Bernie Sanders was dragged for not introducing enough legislation that actually passed into law during his long career.
I don’t think that matters at all… Bernie has had a very long career and his constituents never rebuked him for failing to pass legislation
im talking about his presidential runs
Shut the fuck up, Fetterman.
What are they gonna do about it? Lawsuit? Lmao
America and Israel are terrorist nations
One of like 1000 things he’s done in the last few months that was either illegal, unconstitutional, “grounds for impeachment”, or corrupt. 🥱
What are the 999 things he’s done that are illegal, unconstitutional, corrupt or grounds for impeachment in the last few months?
Seriously, one would think with a file that big, collectivists would have reacted in some way, wouldn’t they?
Just an FYI, there is a tracker of current legal cases against the trump admin (over 280 right now), and this doesn’t include much of the daily illegal stuff he does (like this recent attack on another country).
The tracker also doesn’t cover stuff like his scam phone, scam crypto, scam <insert any of the stuff he’s selling>, threats of annexation of other countries, using the white house to sell teslas, arresting people he dislikes, and so on.
There’s probably more than a 1000, now that I think about it. And this is all just from the beginning of the year. If you include his previous term, you could easily add a few hundred more. 🫢
So where are the thousand from the last few months?
I’m sure if I was paid enough to spend weeks compiling a list, I’d do it.
But what would that change for you? If you need more than the nearly 300 that are already filed in court (so far), then you probably won’t be satisfied with a list of 1000, or 10,000.
Just observe the things he does, and ask yourself whether it’s legal, unconstitutional, corrupt, or grounds for impeachment. You can add in unethical (but not illegal), if you like, but that would be like beating a dead horse.
For example, just a few hours ago, he posted about getting a “bum” out of office. That “bum”? A republican congressman who did not agree with the illegal act of bombing Iran. Firing someone for not agreeing with you breaking the law and oath to the constitution isn’t how a democratic country operates.
You can find countless examples of this, on a daily basis.
Kendrick Lamar “It’s not enough.” I want him removed and charged for all the harm and civil rights violations and war crimes. No President has ever been held accountable, So you can start with him.
Nixon was. They could have impeached Clinton for Bosnia, but went with lying about adultery.
They could have impeached Clinton for Bosnia
Why? Forgive my ignorance, balkan history is hard.
He violated both UN and NATO charters, iirc. Imo, intervention was necessary, because the Serbs were ethnically cleansing the Croats and Muslims, and Western Europe was dragging feet, but he violated the law and badly mishandled the intervention.
I don’t know for certain, but I think you might be mixing up Kosovo and Bosnia. Because I know he illegally (by international law) bombed Yugoslavia for the Kossovar Albanians (which some argue hastened and exacerbated the ethnic cleansing of the Albanians, which aligns quite well with the timeline, especially considering there was a concrete diplomatic alternatice proposed by both sides), but he got approval for this. Famously, Bernie Sanders voted in favor. So while it should earn him a trip to the Hague, he didn’t violate any domestic laws that I’m aware of.
But again, Yugoslavia in the 90s is crazy complicated, and there’s so much I don’t know, so maybe I’m just completely wrong here.
Maybe, I could have sworn it was Bosnia, and I can’t really research it right now. I have a project to prepare for and settle into, my apologies if I’m wrong.
I like how they pretend if he is not the president it wouldn’t be the same. They lied about WMD in Iraq and went to war in behalf of israel. And the did regime change in Libya, bomb and missions in Somalia and Yemen and not a single word from almost all congress about war crimes in gaza.
Let’s be honest, AIPAC controls all level of governments.
The only issue now, white MAGA, who actually hate Jew, or Russian propagandist are calling him out.
As soon as AIPAC find dirt on them or manage to buy them, the progressive movement will find themselves alone again.
It wouldn’t. Trump can be bought off more easily. Trump literally released a propaganda AI hit piece on Gaza for Israel. Trump is literally illegally detaining protesters for protesting against Israel in universities. People who say Biden would have done the same show how clueless they are, specially now that the differences have shown how stark they are.
WMD in Iraq? Literally Republicans again.
Libya? Literally United Nations Security Council Resolution 1973. Is the organization constantly getting vilified by Israel by their condemnations of it also part of the same grand scheme in your world view?
Somalia? Another Republican president.
Your shotgun argumentation is bad and you should feel bad. AIPAC has a lot of power in the US, but it is not equally present in both parties and it does not manifest in the same way either. The US has bigger problems than AIPAC, but its fascist takeover has probably gone over your head as well.
Yeah you figured out the big secret. The Jews are the secret puppet masters of the world!
That or you’ve become antisemitic. Yeah, that’s probably it.
Stop equating protocols of the elders of zion larpers with jews. That is literally some of the most antisemitic shit ever written.
It is you who think when someone says AIPAC means Jew. Most Jew has nothing to do with AIPAC. Read more about Zionism and their history before and after WWII and read more about different mostly Jew who are on odd with the AIPAC and it’s Zionist views…
AIPAC is a group of American Jews that support Israel. So when you’re rambling on about AIPAC conspiracy theories you’re claiming both American Jews and Israeli Jews are evil puppet masters.
Antisemitism has in the past made subsets of Jews acceptable to hate. Look up the term Cosmopolitan Jew. Zionist Jew follows that pattern.
You’re being told by many people on the internet that it’s part of the Jewish conspiracy to accuse people of being antisemitic for criticizing Israel. I’m not Jewish, I’ve never been to Israel, I’m not being paid by anyone. I’m not a part of some conspiracy against you. Just someone who has learned how antisemitism worked in the past since I felt like I owed it to my grandfather who was damaged while fighting against some antisemitic assholes.
You’re following a pattern that has happened before.
It’s wrong to hate Jews because they are Jewish. That’s antisemitism. But it’s the right thing to do to unequivocally condemn the Israeli government and their enablers because of their right wing genocidal policies towards their neighbours. The pattern you are following is that of claiming Israel cannot be criticised without it being antisemitic, which is the same bullshit Netanyahu is trying to pull.
Better not to engage with these account. I think their Zionist nature, as many of them, like to change the facts, create new one, then accuse people of being antisemitic.
If you’re criticizing actions of the Israeli government that’s not antisemitism.
If you’re promoting conspiracy theories about globalist Jews being the secret puppet masters of the government, that is antisemitism.
They tried this before multiple times and it achieved nothing, you’d think they’d come up with a new idea.
No impeachments until they know they can get a conviction in the Senate, which is highly unlikely.
Besides, an impeachment only makes Peter Theil (Vance’s leash holder) the president, then we’re out of the frying pan and into the fire.
Theil is already president, and probably has been for longer than I care to imagine.
Really? What’s the proof of that?
I would be okay with President Vance. We’d only have to deal with him for a day or two before some MAGAt offed him for daring to replace the God Emperor.
Does it even matter, American government and business is soaked deep in soggy dogshit.
It’s not getting fixed by political discourse. If you’re trying to do it that way than you aren’t even playing the same game as the entity leading right now. Understand the game like mob boss and gang leaders. These politicians appear naive… We don’t live in that world anymore and probably haven’t for the past 30 years. It’s the same feeling as seeing mainstream big religious people living in a dream world.
That’s not a call for action or anything… It’s just realistic observation.
fuck Newsweek.
