None of this matters if Congress and the Attorney General refuses to do anything about it. Trump and every member of his admin. and many in Congress should have been impeached and charged already but NOTHING has happened. We are sick of hearing complaints about all the illegal actions by government officials. We need ACTION!
The Attorney General will not do anything about anything unless Trump tells her to.
She is a dumb as a rock. Palentir, owned by Peter Thiel who bankrolled J D Vance into the Senate and VP is an angry gay man who apparently wants to own everything.
That Democrats and Republicans are both benefittig from all of this is no surprise. We all can agree that Nancy Pelosi is guilty of insider trading. So are many others. You don't get to be mulit-millionaires in Congress on $174,000 a year with two homes, kids in private school etc. Their campaign war chests are theirs when they leave.
You know, Robin Williams was right. Congress should wear patches on their suits to show
everyone who supports and owns them. Because they certainly don't work for the voters.
Nancy Pelosi’s husband had a long career in finance, before she ran for office. Did she help him after she got elected? Is the Pope Catholic? I am sure she gave him help, but I do think his success was due to his abilities, training, and doing the job every day.
Reporters should question and exert more pressure on members of Congress--with regard to fulfilling their Constitutional duties. One example: Is the POTUS not doing anything that suggests he may be violating the Emoluments Clause? If Hunter Biden warranted investigation for corruption, possibly relating to President Biden, why aren't they at least investigating Trump? For future presidents, do they no longer need to divest their business and/or put their financial assets in a blind trust?
Absolutely....or are you saying the Rs would never investigate Trump because he's an R, too? It's gotten to that point, but I think enough of them know this is wrong, and they're maybe too scared to do the right thing (and I don't blame them for being scared).
They've been acquiescencing to unqualified Cabinet Members, anything he wants so far. Mouths shut to the Murders in Minn. (Could that happen to them, they think.)People stripped from the streets like feral cats. *** The House is so cocked up. I'm waiting on this Senate vote on B- GROSS- B. Wait and see. ?????
Rules no longer exist. Democrats have no power and have an uphill battle to gain any back. Republicans are on their knees or on their backs. If we ever get out of this, a complete rewrite will be necessary. Good luck to the survivors!
I've long felt that getting out of this involves prominent Rs, conservative journalists, and former/current Trump officials spearheading a denunciation of Trump. A few individuals have done this, but it's been really sporadic, which hasn't created a momentum for other Rs, etc. to speak out. We could get out of this if a significant movement of Rs, conservative journalists, and former/current Trump officials can keep hammering away at Trump.
Neither do I, but I think it's worth pushing for. Also, I think some of them know this is the right thing to do, but they need encouragement and prodding. I wonder how much effort has been made, behind the scenes, to make this happen? My guess is that very little effort has been made--or maybe at some point in the past, a lot of people invested time into making this happen, but they've long given up. ?
You know, I'm not even sure any moral compass is left to move. Look at the shameless complicity of Rubio and Graham as examples. And Mike Lee was often mentioned for Supreme Court! They once articulated a clear perception of the unfitness of Trump. Now I don't trust that they would defend their own families against him. And the "conservatives" on the Supreme Court have abandoned every principle they once championed. I have no rational explanation, but it seems true that everything Trump touches dies, and what we knew as America is no exception. He is pure, deranged evil, a rapidly metastasizing disease.
From what I just read in WAPO, Republicans don’t want to discuss impeachment unless it can be used to keep them in their jobs after the midterm elections next year. And their supporters don’t want it to happen, period. Better to concentrate on every current election this year, and prepare like crazy for next year. Can’t do anything unless the majority in both houses are big and blue in 2026.
All the Republicans and most of the Democrats in the House just voted to table Green's articles of impeachment. That was likely because it was based on Trump's strike on Iran. Since it was successful (sort of?) and Iran really should not have nukes, it's not very popular to impeach the president over not having Congress vote on the matter. Most Democrats in the House don't want to touch impeachment. Citizens who disagree with that should let their House members know.
With extreme partisanship, impeachment/removal has become meaningless, except as performance. It's not a satisfying answer, but we shouldn't waste the effort only to hand Trump another opportunity to cry "witch hunt."

No one investigates themselves.
I'm not asking them to investigate themselves, I'm asking to fulfill their constitutional duty by checking and balancing out the executive office.
Takes Republicans to do that

That would certainly be a constructive path, but I see no indication there are Rs headed in that direction.
