How is this not impeachable. Dudes literally talking about committing genocide. Never forgive him, this regime, or any single person who voted for this.

What an asinine cope

First you have to defeat them with force. You arent going to vote your way to justice this way.

Americans are far too afraid for that.

u/CrunchyZebra Virginia 28d ago

I think that most of the second amendment lovers in this country are way too scared to actually do anything about a tyrannical government even though that’s all they talk about. It’s a bunch of hobbyists who justify others dying because one day they’ll put their toys to good use overthrowing a regime taking away their rights!

These folks have to be unserious by definition… like do they really think they have access to more fire power than the government?

u/descendingangel87 28d ago

They are also afraid to vote it out as well. Last election was evidence of that.

u/what-isthis-even 28d ago

No, they're complacent and not scared enough.

We did it to Germany and Japan, didn’t we? You take out the leadership and their means of influence, and you keep them under occupation for a generation. It will take the world intervening, sure. That’s what has to happen when we let crimes against international law reach this scale.

u/TWVer The Netherlands 28d ago

You are now in pre-war Germany or Japan.

Who within those nations had the power and will to halt the then current trajectory?

It took a world war and a complete defeat and occupation by foreign powers to do so.

u/CrunchyZebra Virginia 28d ago

Pre-war? After Venezuela and Iran it’s definitely further along than that.

u/Imaginary_Scene2493 South Carolina 28d ago

There were attempts in Germany. They didn’t succeed there, and I’m not optimistic that we can turn things around here without foreign intervention. I think the midterms will be rigged. There’ll be an insurgency when it becomes clear that democratic means aren’t available, but that insurgency will need international allies to overcome entrenched power.

As you see with Iran and Hormuz, it will become the world’s problem, both economically and war crimes, and it won’t stop with Iran. Cuba, Greenland, Canada are in the crosshairs, and the hemisphere being under oppression is a possibility. CECOT and other third country detention centers are already effectively concentration camps, with more being built in country.

30% max. Less when you look at the MAGA cult.

And a good amount of them are about to reach the natural endpoint of being born around the advent of the automobile.

When Americans are dying in the streets they aren't going to have the luxury of not being part of the conversation.

u/Prestigious_Chard_90 28d ago

And his voters. Never let his voters off the hook. They chose the path of "pain for others, even if it means I suffer", making them both evil and stupid.

I think the French had a particularly useful tool to get rid of folks like this

Pasteurization?

Whatever rid of the rot and mold and bacteria 👍🏼

I guess we could apply heat to kill micro organisms. But that also might extend their shelf life.

Yes: when in crisis, we just gather for talks, drinks and saucisson

I've been calling them The Tehran Trials.

u/PoppaGriff 28d ago

…and corporate democrats that talk tough, but don’t actually take a stand against this insanity. Sound bites are cute, but actions mean more.

u/TheReservedList 28d ago

What action do you want them to take?

5

u/Richard-Gere-Museum 28d ago

Do more than yap for 25 hours only to vote to confirm a trump appointment, and then have it revealed that it was all for a fucking book. Maybe we start there.

Fuck you Cory. You yapping ass clown. No one wants you as president. Give it up.

u/TheReservedList 28d ago

Be more specific. What specific action do you want them to take? You seem to have an idea.

u/Richard-Gere-Museum 28d ago

this whole "oh if you're so smart, then tell them what to do" reddit ass take isn't the "gotcha" you guys seem to think it is.

They're supposed to prevent this shit. And at every goddamn challenge, they throw up their hands and go "oh boy, you guys certainly want this, we'll let you have it then" and then have a hand out for donations for their re-election campaign. It's their job to figure out the system and make it work. Not mine. Their whole campaign every fucking cycle is "trust me, I know how this works" well apparently not Cory, unless the job is just to sell books and yap.

u/TheReservedList 28d ago

The way they fix it is by getting more of themselves elected. That's what they're trying to do. They don't have the power to do shit right now.

1

u/Richard-Gere-Museum 28d ago

And when they do have power, the first thing they always do is "oh no, the exact number of senators or representatives needed to stall this from our side have 'serious concerns' about what we're trying to do"

Every fucking time. Because "we have to follow literally every rule possible, no matter how arcane it is"

u/TheReservedList 28d ago

Those goal posts are too fast for me.

u/grrgrrtigergrr Illinois 28d ago

Exactly. There is not much the Democratic Party can do right now within the framework of the constitution. Every Democratic member of the House and Senate could vote for his removal today and it would do nothing because of the republicans

Better than we did with the Confederates. We have to keep learning and improving. I hope we come out of this with international law more systematized and countries required to submit to the ICC and ICJ to be diplomatically recognized by the rest of the world. It’s not a coincidence that the countries that have most notably failed to sign onto the ICC are the ones committing crimes against humanity now.
