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

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

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

          You are basically saying “if we unfucked our current situation then we could impeach and remove him from office”, because the impossibility of holding him accountable is part of the problem.

      You ever see those memes where the killer comes into the house, but can’t find the victim. So the killer does something akin to "shave and a haircut two bits…

      You don’t have to kill these people. But you have a duty to revoke their right to vote.

      While I agree that fascists like him should be afraid to go out in public, that particular fascist dying would make him a martyr. He needs to live long enough to be convicted again and actually serve jail time.

        That is silly because the US justice system will never ever do that, you could just as well hope to win the lottery and have better odds. The US justice system is dead, if it ever existed. His demise is a much more realistic hope.

        Also they already act like he is a martyr, it won’t change anything with regards to that.

        He can die of cholesterol.

        There. No martyrdom. Also it’s likely to happen.

        All I have to do is put my feet up, and not call McDonalds and tell them that their food is unhealthy and they should change it.

    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.

      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.

        At this point they are all so complicit in his crimes that that will never happen, because it will implicate them as well.

        Who, me? I am not from Burgerland. Also, this was done by Italian communists, not superior, enlightened, liberal European society or something. Where are the left parties in Europe, curbing right wing politics? I don’t see them. Europe is slowly falling for the same right wing politics. Falling profits and rising inequality will lead to the capitalist class propping right wing governments to suppress dissent by using tired talking points like immigration and ‘culture’, and, to paraphrase one among those fellows who hanged Mussolini, capital will not be able to preserve itself without killing liberalism to give way to fascism.

        Or vote majority dems but still got Trump because your “Democracy” got some middle-men and land-over-people system built-in.

        And even with a fair system, we just saw stupidity at play in Germany. Historically high vote participation of ~82.5% and yet still 28.6% for the so called “(christian) Union” (average Republicans), 20.8% AfD (straight-up Nazis) and 16.4 to 8.8% for Social Dems, Greens and The Left. Only reason we aren’t completely fucked like the US is that there are more parties, and the Union didn’t fully finished cuddling with the Nazis yet (they love to do so though, both domestic as well as US MAGA).

        The moment you got bad education and especially a bad populistic Press democracy stops working and starts deconstructing itself. Not to mention you’ll get both + pissed off people in a completely fucked economical system.

    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.

        Pandora’s box is already open, I don’t think that would work. Another approach would be to remove hate speech from being considered free speech. Targeting violence towards minority groups shouldn’t be protected by free speech.

          I remember something about that during the Clinton years, but I can’t recall what it’s about.

            It allowed corporations to buy up all the media outlets they wanted, leading to homogenization of content and elimination of voices that corporations find offensive. On The Media podcast did a miniseries about it called The Divided Dial, which was nice to hear because I had been ranting about it for years but it seemed that nobody else was paying attention. I think it’s on YT, but search and ye shall find

              Thanks for the info. I guess Clinton is equally as responsible as Reagan for the calamity we are facing today.

              What are your thoughts on what should be done to return sanity to media?

                Time to kill every fucking one of those goddamn Nazi pieces of shit Clinton actually campaigned as the first Democratic president to embrace Reagan’s neoliberalism. It’s been a downhill slide ever since. At this point sanity can only be restored through violence, both against the current Nazi regime and against the septuagenarian neoliberals who have a White knuckle grip on the Democrat party
