Mrs. Betty Bowers's Bluesky post today

[red dog 1]

Yes, Donald Trump deserves to be impeached.

But, no, the United States does not deserve to have a President JD Vance. Or a president Mike Johnson. Or a president Marco Rubio.

Trump ensured job security by padding the line of succession with people just as dishonest and incompetent as he.

(One of the replies)

All the more reason to go straight for the throat and use Article II, Section 4 of the Constitution. That way you bring down many criminals with a few rocks.

1. I'm fine with firing him, if his cardiovascular system doesn't take him out.

America deserves to watch the rest of them go after each other's throats, causing what's left of their shitty party to self-immolate. While they're all just as dishonest and incompetent, they are also just as power hungry--AND they all hate each other. It will be one massive, bloody bag of rats fighting with each other to be head rat.

3. Bribery, one of the charges mentioned in the constitution

[progressoid]

4. Unlikely that Article II, Section 4 of the Constitution would fly.

[orleans]

5. and the bad news is: (from google ai.)

Process: While Section 4 defines the grounds, Article I grants the House sole power to impeach (charge) and the Senate sole power to try (convict).
Outcome: Conviction requires a two-thirds vote in the Senate, resulting in removal from office.


senate sole power to convict with a 2/3 vote. those fucking republican senators? it would never happen

[spooky3]

7. This is one of the few huge flaws in the Constitution.

The founders couldn’t anticipate the level of criminality that could spread across an entire political party.

[orleans]

10. yep. and i think for most of our lives most of us couldn't imagine it either. nt

[Seinan Sensei]

11. Exactly!

The Constitution was written generations before the DSM-5, and a working understanding of malignant narcissism

[lastlib]

13. DSM-5*

"Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders"---for the benefit of those unfamiliar with it.

17. If the Constitution specifically stated...

...no felons in the White House, including the Cabinet, we wouldn't be here in this mess today.

6. I love Mrs Betty Bowers! Thanks for the reminder to check her stuff out

[JoseBalow]

8. Oh, what I would give to see

in his obituary, "choked to death on a Filet-O-Fish Sandwich."

12. If that happens.

We will see how serious MAGA is about the 2nd Amedment.
The NRA seems like a bunch of cowards so I’m not worried about them.

[calimary]

14. Works for me!

[electric_blue68]

15. I partly disagree... None of these other people - bad as they are; have the following drumphf has...

I think that's important!

[WinstonSmith4740]

21. That's what I see, too.

I don't understand it & I've never seen it, but I keep hearing he's "charismatic" in person. When he goes (and not soon enough), so does MAGA. Neither Vance nor Johnson will be able to keep it together. After the President pro Tempore of the Senate, cabinet members are in line, and none of the loser criminals he's filled his cabinet with could do it either.

16. That statement about job security is right on the nose.

It's hard to imagine it was strategic given the Felon's lack of intelligence. That would require the gamesmanship knowledge and foresight of choosing the correct fodder and then convincing the Felon this would be the way to go.

Remember Vance referred to him as Hitler. I guess Rubio was acceptable after Rubio bent the knee. I get visions of James Woods character accepting the apology of his crime partner in the movie, Onion Field Killers. If you haven't seen it, do yourself a favor, don't look for it because it will come to mind everytime one of these sycophants shows up to kneel.

[radical noodle]

19. He lacks intelligence but

he's long been a manipulative con man and knows how to work things to his advantage. The only thing he's EVER cared about is his advantage. According to some things I've read about his early childhood, it seems he may have been born this way. He absolutely did this intentionally, leaving us with a snake pit of an administration.

[CaptainTruth]

18. Like GW Bush, IMHO.

Bush was bad but Cheney would have been much worse.

I always said Cheney was Bush's "life insurance policy."

[czarjak]

20. Just F-N Do It

Already!

[progressoid]

22. Impeachment is a dead-end.

It's great political theater. But that's all.
