Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

You know he’ll deny he was involved in this idea if it backfires. Some low level worker will get named, shamed and fired.

I know this is getting to be a really tired rhetorical question, but... How is this not ground for immediate impeachment?
History will not be kind to the turdy Republican congresscritters and senators who are letting Trump wreck the country.
Don't just blame Republicans. This lack of action in the face of this corrupt, treasonous, pedophile is the government.
Today our people can see that we're faced with a government conspiracy. This government has failed us. The senators who are a filibustering concerning your and my rights, that's the government. Don't say it's Southern senators. This is the government. This is a government filibuster. It's not a segregationist filibuster, it's a government filibuster. Any kind of activity that takes place on the floor of the Congress or the Senate, that's the government. Any kind of dilly-dallying, that's the government. Any kind of pussyfooting, that's the government. Any kind of act that's designed to delay or deprive you in need right now of getting full rights, that's the government that's responsible. And anytime you find the government involved in a conspiracy to violate the citizenship or the civil rights of a people, then you are wasting your time going to that government expecting redress.

How is this not ground for immediate impeachment?
Trump's already been impeached twice, back in his first term. The Senate refused to convict on both occasions.
Then Biden's DOJ refused to prosecute the outgoing president for anything in the four years Democrats controlled the executive branch.
History will not be kind to the turdy Republican congresscritters
The Year is 1972 and I am predicting that history will not be kind to Republicans
The Year is 1987 and I am predicting that history will not be kind to Republicans
The Year is 2008 and I am predicting that history will not be kind to Republicans
The Year is 2026 and I am predicting that history will not be kind to Republicans
How is this not ground for immediate impeachment?
Impeaching is like suing.
They could have impeached Obama for a tan suit, and convicted him of it in the Senate. Even if he had never worn a tan suit.
It's why it's supposed to be important who we send to DC, instead of just picking people who yell at the loudest at whoever we don't like.
They're supposed to represent our will, and they're clearly not.
Impeachment is a political process. You must have the votes in the House to impeach, then you must have the votes in the Senate to remove.
If a political party stands behind their guy and they have sufficient numbers, removal is simply not possible.
It is a political process, not a judicial process.
This statement should trigger 25th.
Add it to the mountain of them accrued even since before he was president the first time.
So not just blatant corruption, but blatantly treasonous corruption as well.
Join the gold tier, and get special access to the nuclear football!
He literally let Mar-a-Lago guests hold it during his first term. This timeline is immune to satire.
Let's just cut to the chase where he sells national secrets on eBay.
Don't be silly, he is using shadow brokers. The dark website where they auctioned off all of the NSA spying tools that were stolen that is.
Revoke this man's security clearance.
Why did Americans voted for this APE? Why?
Daily reminder that if you don't vote, you agree to all candidates.

Pays six figures to get the national security briefing

Five hours of ads. One hour of the President saying what a good job he did.
