“I’ve made clear from the very beginning that our top priority is going to be to drive down the high cost of living,” the House minority leader said on Fox News Sunday.

    Sure. If vermin are crapping in the grain bin you go in and do what’s necessary to clean it up but also patch the holes where the rats get in and exterminate them.

    Jeffries is going to purposefully rehash his Biden years, just like his Israeli paymasters want.

    Hakeem, it’s called multitasking, like when you take AIPAC and corporate money at the same time. Do both you fuckwad.

    I want every single ICE agent to spend the rest of their lives running on a hamster wheel for 16 hours a day to generate free electricity for the grid more than I want to be able to afford food again

    Holding criminals liable for their criminal activity is not “getting even”.

      Impeaching Trump won’t do that. I mean, with a Dem-led senate, there would at least be a trial, but they’d need at least 10 GOP senators to remove, and that won’t happen.

      Impeaching Hegseth? Clarence Thomas? Aileen Cannon? Go for it. Still probably won’t happen, but those are all people more vulnerable to the shame of impeachment. They might even resign.

      There’s a lot of criminal activity to expose among people who can actually be indicted and convicted. People who might testify after Trump’s get-out-of-trial-free card expires, but most importantly, people who can now be made to stop hurting the country.

      I’d still rather see them use War Powers over Iran and close ICE concentration camps than put Elon Musk in jail, if it came down to a choice, but I think they can do all three.

      Trump will pardon everybody.

      Even if you get an impeachment and conviction, Vance will pardon him and everybody.

      You’ll have to wait until Ds win presidency to hold them criminally accountable. Better to investigate and make a case in my opinion.

        U.S. Const. art. II, § 2, cl. 1

        “The President […] shall have Power to grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offences against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment.”

        I don’t disagree that dems will need more control to hold the fash accountable, but in the case of impeachment he cannot be pardoned.

    People like him, Schumer, DWS and Hillary are the reason we’re in this mess to begin with. America wanted Bernie in 2016, but he would have shone a light on the massive corruption in all corners of Washington DC, so the DNC couldn’t let him do that.

    People need to realize the world needs a serious change, not just a new coat of lipstick on the pig.
