Hungarian here, we had an election in April, we now have 2 ministers, and a central bank chief in custody, with the son of said central banker also having an international arrest warrant out for him. And we're not done, not by far.
And we have a better democracy than we had before. Prosecution of criminals is part of democracy.
Alright, y'all have to fire this loser.
Your country went to the brink of authoritarian dictatorship; on Tuesday, it crept back one sixteenth of an inch from the precipice. Prosecuting every motherfucker who broke the law in Trump's administration should be priorities 1, 2, and 3. Brazil put their Trump in jail after their January 6. Maybe they could give your politicians some democracy lessons.
Justice must be served. It's paramount that we set an example or it's going to happen again and be even worse.
I think it's time to impeach Hakeem Jeffries...
Conducting checks and balances is literally his effing job. Bro doesnt even understand what his job is.
Rat, plant, shill, etc. Plainer than ever now
If he phrased this as "affordability is my priority, and I'm not ruling out that the way to assure that is to impeach the President and his cabinet," he could have plausible deniability. But as it is, he's clearly listening to the wrong political operatives.
Impeach that zionist traitor
um he can leave then impeach this joker
That is why he has to go
It's not about getting even, though that is a nice fringe benefit. It is about holding criminals to account and not letting it be seen that they can just skate away scot free without paying for their crimes.
Have voters not made it clear enough that YOU don't get to decide what is or isn't a priority...they do.
The entire election was about Republicans doing whatever they wanted regardless of the wishes of their electorate. You sure you want to burn down that same bridge, Hakeem...?
Call your rep and tell them not to vote for Jeffries. I think this election ought to scare the shit out of everyone who isn't a progressive that they are on the hot seat to actually fucking do something.
Already done and told my senators not to vote for genocidal self enrichment expert chuck Schumer. I think one of them might actually not vote for them
I get it Jeffries, but their is something called "the law." The price hikes are due to those Orange Shitstains breaking multiple laws.
New speaker of the house now!!!! Schumer and Jeffries helped lead us into all this.
There is a petition with half a million signatures on Change.org if people want to sign. I know it probably won't do much, but it might feel more cathartic than dooming on Lemmy. https://www.change.org/p/house-democrats-choose-a-new-speaker
Or better yet, call your representatives and tell them you will primary them in the next cycle if they vote for Schumer or Jeffries for Majority Speakers.
Thank you! This is much better than yelling into the Lemmy void!
what a fucking moron. I want revenge you dumb bitch.
replace this milquetoast
Going back to politics as usual is what they did when Biden got elected and look where that got them. This time MAGA's done way more criminal shit. They need to be held accountable to kick their fascism to the curb, also for the sake of the rest of the world.
Why does this dipshit think the gas is expensive all of a sudden
Jeffries is going to purposefully rehash his Biden years, just like his Israeli paymasters want.
He should be asked directly why he hates children and wants to protect pedophiles.
If people don't like the idea of Jeffries, there is a petition with half a million signatures on Change.org if people want to sign. I know it probably won't do much, but it might feel more cathartic than dooming on Lemmy. https://www.change.org/p/house-democrats-choose-a-new-speaker
Or better yet, call your representatives and tell them you will primary them in the next cycle if they vote for Schumer or Jeffries for Majority Speakers.
Or call, don't email, don't write, call your newly elected representative you voted for and ask them to stand up for new leadership. That's a fuck ton better than signing some internet petition that no one gives two shits about and better than bitching on social media that no one really gives two shits about.
Jeff gotta go!
It might not be the top priority, but it better be A priority or the Democrats are probably going to be out again in 2 years. The people want to see those in the GOP that have run so much into the ground pay for it.
Liberalism <---> Fascism.
Get ready for a whole lot of nothing (at best) from these creeps.
