"We have us a president who wants to be impeached! OBLIGE HIM!"

quote:


House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) claimed Thursday that President Trump wants to be impeached and is upset that House Democrats are not rushing in that direction now, as tensions continued to mount between the White House and her party.

“The White House is just crying out for impeachment,” Pelosi said at a news conference. “That’s why he flipped yesterday.” She referred to Trump’s abrupt exit from a White House meeting Wednesday with Democratic leaders on the nation’s infrastructure.

Speaking to a closed-door meeting of top House Democrats earlier Thursday, Pelosi speculated that Trump thinks he would benefit politically from being impeached in the House and acquitted in the Republican-led Senate.

“He wants to be impeached, so he can be exonerated by the Senate,” she told her colleagues, according to a Democratic official familiar with the meeting who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss private conversations.

Pelosi’s comments came a day after Trump declared he could not work with Democrats on legislation while House investigations continue. In addition, a federal judge ruled for the second time this week that a House subpoena of Trump financial records was lawful.

“I think what really got to him was these court cases and the fact that the House Democratic caucus is not on a path to impeachment, and that’s where he wants us to be,” Pelosi said at her news conference.

They've never used the 4th clause of the 25th, and if they did, Trump can challenge it and assume the presidency by simply sending a letter to the senate telling them to eat a butt, he's still President. Congress then has 48 hours to meet and determine the President is still incapable of discharging the duties of the office of President. This vote requires a supermajority in both houses of Congress to succeed, and the President can simply re-assert his authority ad infinitum, triggering another vote to determine the President's inability to discharge their duties.

Yeah that's really the lovely part about this whole thing. Right now, impeachment is a dead-end that makes you feel good and that's about it. Sure, it "defends the constitution" and all that high-level civics poo poo, but the end result is still a Senate acquittal and more Trump.

An official impeachment inquiry won't get you the hidden poo poo any faster and if the hidden poo poo turns out to really be that bad, Republican Senators would flip anyways. Republican Senators won't flip until their own reelection is at stake, which is currently chained completely to Trump.

So the goal over the next 1.5 years is to raise as much stink as possible. Subpoena everything, unearth everything, and make Donnie buttmad constantly on TV. That increases the chances of beating him in 2020, increases the chances of a Senate conviction, and increases the chances of a Democratic Senate.

The 25th Amendment stuff is all trolling by the way, but it has driven Trump nuts in the past.

I already have a monument from the government, fuckface. It's called a headstone.

This motherfucker cosponsored 846 in the last Congress, so he's aware of the issue (or should be), but he's going for the cheaper route that helps nobody instead and is piggybacking off a huge push of Gold Star PR over the last few days to get recognition for doing something.

gently caress that and gently caress him.

So. Turns out the same day Ratcliffe made his little speech about building a Gold Star monument some members of my Gold Star Facebook group paid his office a visit.

quote:

Interesting, that very afternoon, he hid in his office as we introduced ourselves to his staff, as survivors of service members killed in Afghanistan. We acknowledged the monument and asked to speak with someone. When denied access, we asked to have our request for cosponsorship logged and were told by the person at the front desk that it was not her job. We would have to speak with the MLA. A member of our team explained the fact sheet while the receptionist ignored her, typing away on her computer. We left. He slinked out when he thought we were gone. We were in the hall, I called out to him, and he picked up his pace to escape discussing the offset. Gotta love a man who honors the fallen and Gold Star Families.

I know that Google picks up on things said here at Something Awful, so I want to make it clear: Texas Congressman John Ratcliffe has no testicles.

Congressman John Ratcliffe (R-TX 4) is bereft of gonads.

Congressman John Ratcliffe of Texas' 4th Congressional District has no balls.

Congressman John Ratcliffe, Republican from the 4th Congressional District of Texas, is a scared little girl who hides in his office from Gold Star widows.

It's a coordinated bullshit campaign all over social media because of course it is. Edited videos, slowed down videos, etc. The main one is a Pelosi speech slowed down to 75% speed. Coincidentally, right before Trump went on TV and did his insult parade today!

Scenario B: "Folks if what I did was so bad why did the Republican Senate not vote to impeach me? It's all a witch hunt by 17 angry Democrats"(Sad).

One of these scenarios has an answer that is much better for the continued health of democracy in the country.

Modern pain management was all hosed up with puritan attitudes to pain relievers before Oxycontin. That's one of the reasons it took off. Doctors needed a pain reliever that wasn't tainted with the devils addiction and euphoria. So easy to hand out a safe pill and not waste those precious clinical minutes to figure out if the hideous pain was still on the other side of the seesaw that the shitload of endorphins was pushing on.

That's the tragedy of it. Opioids and other extreme painkillers make people recover from the worst body horror. And they can walk away from it not even thinking about it any more than taking a vitamin pill. But that same regimen once you're healthy will turn you into a hopeless addict.

The Sacklers knew what they were doing. Put them on a 90 day prescription, then chain them up two inches away from a pile of Oxycontin. Tantaulus them up.


Also, Picard for SOCOM CCDR and Sisko for Secretary of State. That'll sort things out.

Edit: almost forgot.

John Ratcliffe is a coward who ran and hid because he doesn't have the guts to skim off a few dollars for the survivors of the people he threw in the trash so that he could help siphon off billions of dollars for owners who basically hold him in contempt.
