Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsHas anyone actually counted how many "impeachable offenses" Trump has made in the last 17 months?
I'm not addressing the Roberts "Verily, thou art the Christ child reincarnate" benediction.
I'm talking about legitimate "high crimes and misdemeanors" that would pass the bar for impeachment, and could clearly not be jettisoned as "Trump performing his presidential duties."
I haven't given a lot of thought to this because at the moment there's nothing we can do about it.
But if we have big wins in November, that's a different story.

Senate Republicans would never vote to convict.

Boy could we use that!
Because the next thing on the schedule is the general election in 2028. Theres a LOT of things we can do! Hail the strategery! Including the stuff you havent even cared to consider - YET. The results in November will rewrite the script.

(123 posts)You just need a paper and pencil, every 10 items (you could go higher, but then we have to do math at the end) you make a mark. Get to the end then you just need to recount from the last tick mark to the end. Multiply the marks by 10, add the recount, we have a number.
Now if you claimed I can't remember them all! Damn, that is valid. I wouldn't bet my life if I could list off all the offenses just in May.

(5,250 posts)You start with illegal war actions, and extra-judicial executions off the coast of Venezuela,
and with-holding legally appropriated funds without any congressional action
across a whole number of fronts-- medicaid, medicare, all kinds of foreign aid---
just for starters!
Indeed, the list of illegal actions taken by Trump in his second term for far is SO LONG,
no normal human could possibly remember them all, off the top of their head!
(It is so long, that I worry that a Democratic House of Representatives
might struggle to complete their Articles of Impeachment before
the child-f*cker's term of office expires!!!! OK, that's a joke,
we just go with what he claimed he would go with---
prosecuting him for 'the worst of the worst' !!)
I was going to post those words myself, but you did it first--
always brings to mind one of my favorite Meatloaf songs!
