Trump must be impeached and convicted as soon as possible. One man is causing so many to suffer.

It’s in the Constitution that no soldiers can participate in policing or domestic security operations without a war declaration and a vote in Congress. That hasn’t happened. Trump thinks he can just write executive orders that are unconstitutional and then expects the Military to snap to an obey. What’s wrong with this picture? Everything!!

Do you actually think the military would obey when they are told to protect Americans? I know veterans would be more than happy to stand against Trump.

Unfortunately far too many would. It's one of the reasons that there is the purge going on in all branches of the military that we're watching happen real time.

It isn't just Trump. It's all of his MAGA supporters as well. Vance is probably worse than Trump. If Trump is impeached then does Vance take over? Things will be the same. The whole MAGA needs to be thrown in jail for their illegal acts.

Expand full comment
Bluesmurf's avatar

Vance is not well liked and the MAGA base is not behind him like they are trump. Impeachment is not a one and done kind of deal - it can be done over and over again, and would have to be in this case, because after vance comes that snake mike johnson - after him is the oldest man in Congress, Chuck Grassley. It goes downhill from there. I think Marco Rubio comes after that. But they could just hold impeachment after impeachment after impeachment. I'm sure they can find plenty on any one of them to impeach them over.

Agreed!! I think the Donald / Buffoon is being coached! "knows only what the last person said". Or his " over and over lies! Who's really driving it? Steph Miller? Russel Voght? Russel is the (main author of 2025?". Elon? Peter Theil? Billionaire Mart Loco members with their write in suggestions with a million dollar request fee?

Donald declares.war while rants about drug infiltration but pardoned a drug felon?? along with Jan 6? Is that where the funds came to bail Rudy?? Rudy still selling coffee? Or he got a pardon fee windfall through a Donald transaction??

Nope not just the Orange Menus!!! All of us need to keep harping on how insane it all is. Like before drive the corruption out and keep the party out just like the aftermath of Hoover!

Hello Kirsten, I served in the US Navy for 6 years. It is nice to meet you Marine! I have been protesting and contacting my representatives and fighting against this regime also. I heard that trump was thinking of ways to have the military be the "police" to deal with securing the border or securing cities from protests. I know my oath was to NOT follow unjust orders, I hope with all my heart that our active duty members take that oath seriously and defy the traitor and not commit unjust arrests.

They aren't scared for themselves. They're scared for their families, and Trump won't approve a security detail for anyone who opposes him. What would you do to protect your spouse, your children, your grandchildren.? That's where the US is at.

Bluesmurf's avatar

Then they should voluntarily leave office because they aren't helping anyone. Either they get the needed security, or resign. They have already ceded their power over to trump, johnson and thune anyway. They are useless.

If they understood that a bunch of them banding together can win against the bullying as Barbara says, they could get past their fears and do what is right. They need to start talking to one another - but I imagine he has them paranoid about that as well.

Kerri's avatar

I don't disagree, but I think they've all been told to tow the line - or else bad things "may" happen to their families. Trump pulled Bolton's Secret Service detail and there are credible threats to his life from Iran. GOP Congressmen and women have seen Trump's disregard for the lives of people who served him and his administration.

This is true... It might mean you are put in danger or in harms way, but the alternative of ever being in bondage to the narcissist is worse, in my opinion. Paralyzing fear weakens you to nothing and you lose all the way around. Fear with Courage allows you an option - you may not know the outcome of being courageous, but you will be doing the right thing. And when you are in a position where your action or inaction impacts the lives of millions of people, you have no right to be afraid and cave in to pressure or threats.

Any member can introduce Articles of Impeachment and then the House votes on it. The problem is not enough votes to impeach. A Democrat introduced Articles of Impeachment last week; but it will be voted down; because the Republicans fear pressure from Trump and his thugs. Thus, you need pressure from their constituents that is stronger than what they will receive from Trump.
