          Hey, man, just saying… If the Musrkat ever faces justice, it won’t come from the US Justice System. It’ll come from one of us.

            We’ll get the fuck on it then! You are right, hi is basically untouchable with the current administration, unless someone is really good with a rifle. He’s not stopping at the USA, he’s going to fuck up as many world govs as he can!

              And also in pretty much any other administration that could be plausibly imagined.

              Ultra-rich fuckers do not go to prison in the US. Never have and probably never will.

    No. Hang him. What more evidence do you need of his immense traitorous harm to America and the working class around the world that would require investigation? You’ll lethally inject one person for egregious crimes against one other person, but you’ll dither and fret over bringing meaningful consequence to set an example when it’s someone who has directly harmed millions worldwide and condemned an entire generation to immeasureable struggle and unprecedented crises. It’s vile and pathetic. At this point investigation is a very clear delay and distract tactic, and we all know why this is the best the good cop half of this corporate capital party has to offer.

    Things to investigate, what am I missing?:

    1. His brother’s admission that they fraudulently used their student visas to start businesses, and if he didn’t admit it on his naturalization application, then that’s grounds for denaturalization.
    2. Election fraud related to his promises to pay for votes, and other suspicious statements.
    3. Countless privacy, data security and other laws violated at DOGE.
    4. His associations with Jeffrey Epstein.
    5. Use of his controlling power at his companies to benefit himself and defraud investors.
    6. Lies to the NHTSA and consumers about the capabilities and safety claims about Tesla cars.
    7. Illicit preferences and treatment for his companies as corrupt payment for funding the GOP electoral machine.

    That’s in 4 minutes off the top of my head. I’m sure there’s more. Hakeem Jeffries, you can have that list for free to start with - or, hey, better yet, let’s get someone else who actually will take some action to lead the House.

      I really liked that meme comparing immigrants and asking which is under investigation:

      • the white trillionaire who publicly admitted to immigration fraud decades ago
      • the darker skin congressional candidate who has been a citizen for a longer time, since she was a teenager. Where there are no credible accusations, the paperwork would have been her parents responsibility, and they raided her house on a rubber stamp “intent to terrorize” warrant

      I genuinely feel like I’m going insane when the Dems haven’t made a “we’ll impeach Trump if elected” promise. Not that I’d believe them, but it seems like that should be a talking point.

        He’s not the target any more because it’s been proven that he is completely immune politically and legally. They should do what they never did which is to go after all the co-conspirators first starting with the lowest then keep flipping them until you have everyone. If you eventually get the Don before the clock runs out, that’s a bonus.

    He should be imprisoned for many reasons, but the cutting off Starshield/Starlink to Ukraine to keep its defensive drones from intercepting Russian jet drones should see him in front of a firing squad.

    High on optimism I see. You forget the only reason musk is back in the loop (along with the rest of the billionaire barons) is to rig the midterm results. Dems aren’t getting elected.

      If you have 7 people on a bus, 3 vote to drive off a cliff, 2 vote not to drive over a cliff, and 2 don’t vote… You’re going off a cliff.

    Sure, they might try but will get ignored like last time and the evidence might vanish, might be some problem so they don’t get power. Either way in two years the propaganda will say that Dems wasted all the time on witch hunts and lawfare and the voters will agree or not show up again and right back to maga. I’d love to be wrong about this, I can handle it lol!

      But the contrarian view is that’s all they can do.

      Congress has been dysfunctional for decades and the republicans have stood together against any bipartisan work. Even with a majority, there’s not much democrats can pass without a supermajority (or congressional reform).

      The huge thing that has been missing has been constitutional checks and balances. I don’t know if they can do that without supermajority but they need to try

      Given our dysfunctional Congress and the goal to put the brakes on abuses of power, is there anything they can do?

        Absurd.

        The super majority vote is a parliamentary rule and not law. They can skip the super majority with a simple majority vote (as they can with all parliamentary rules).

        They skip it all the time… they bypass the “super majority” with regularity. Over 180x the last time I checked.

        They could have passed minimum wage increase with a simple majority. Instead, they tied it to a massive budget package.

        They never even tried a standalone bill. They performed the bare minimum because it works, people fall for it. It’s an open secret and a bit of a joke, really.

          The filibuster rule is a parliamentary thing that could be changed/ignored, but the veto is very much unavoidable. Without 2/3rds they cannot pass a thing Trump would object to, and without 2/3rds they can’t remove him.

          So it was a bit of a bullshit thing when a party has house, senate, and president and still can’t vote things through due to the filibuster, but at least for now the democrats are still stuck with the veto.

    Please, please, please yank his citizenship.

    Dems, when you get accused of partisanship, the move is to deny it and carry on with your plans. Ignore the naysayers and achieve your goals. DO NOT run away while whining about how the media is unfair.

    If I recall correctly, he came tp the US as an alien and worked illegally originally. Sounds like a reason for stripping citizenship and deportation.
