Any Accountability At All Commission

I remember hoping that Obama would prosecute Bush for all of his crimes, in hindsight it was really naive.

Right? I hate that phrase as it’s used here. How are we supposed to move on when national traumas are left unresolved?
The third political party in the US should be The Woodchipper. You don’t vote for candidates, just The Woodchipper. If The Woodchipper gets the majority of votes, all the candidates on the ticket get tossed in a fucking woodchipper and we start the election over with new candidates.
This fixes our problems, in a uniquely American way.
Who gets to throw them in?
Woodchucks
They’re still bitter about Groundhog Day. I say, let them have it.
I don’t want Trump to win because he’s more likely to create a “presidential crimes commission” full of political appointees going after the other party.
We have the legal system, if there are crimes they should be charged. The answer is not some additional political tribunal.
We have the legal system
I mean…do we?
Ha ha ha ha your legal system is the laughing stock of the planet
glances at Europe
Creating a Department dedicated entirely to Justice.
If we can’t even get Trump to stop running despite being a convicted felon, I don’t even know if we can catch up with the next fucker. Dude could literally shoot someone on 5th Ave and the government would go “Well, they’re the president, what are you going to do about it?”
Having convicted felon be able to run for office is a good thing. I don’t want a Navalny situation in my country.
An insurrectionist, though? Fuck that noise. Trump should be hanged. He tried to violently overthrow the government.
Didn’t he directly say he could shoot someone and still win the (2016) election? I swear I remember seeing that he flat out said that, I think around the time of the Republican primary debates
Yes, that’s where the original quote comes from.
“I could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn’t lose voters.”
Haha yeah the government that’s currently enabling war crimes is gonna totally make a commission to hold presidents liable for crimes.
This is why nothing changes. If you start looking at one of them you have to look at all of them.
organize and take to the streets (and their pockets) if you want that to actually happen.
Impeachment exists, if only there were a functioning body of government left to do such a thing.
I will believe Impeachment means something once someone is removed from power until then it’s a political threat that means nothing.
At this point it’s an untested power.
Arguably, it has been tested, several times. Each time it failed, after a fashion. We should be concerned what message that sends to the next person who would contemplate engaging in such impeachment-actionable behaviors.
Why stop there? Have every President, Senator, and Member of Congress investigated at all times. Whether we think they’re corrupt or not.
Maybe a stupid question, but shouldn’t the FBI be doing that?
They should, but don’t, and haven’t ever. At this point I don’t really trust them to.
Especially given their pinkerton start.
The same FBI that was dismissed by Trump when they looked into him, even though he was totally guilty? Or the same FBI that told civil rights protestors to kill themselves?
The FBI is the Federal police for crimes the common man commits, not the rich.
I can actually see how that would be a problem.
It’s innocent until proven guilty, not innocent until investigated.
But yes, it would be politicized immediately. If only there was a way to have bad faith actors run a government smoothly, then we’d be cooking with gas.
Getting the money out of elections would go a long way. The problem is that more than half the ones who need to choose to get the money out benefit from it.

If we applied the standards of Nuremberg, every president would hang.
Personally I think Jimmy Carter can be rehabilitated.
Jailing a president is tough. We need to jail their enablers. No president acts alone
Good meme

let us know when you develop theory of mind. meanwhile as a non-US person, I very much care which war criminal they will pick, because one will be objectively worse for the rest of the world. and I’m pretty sure a lot of other non-US people do, considering this is a country that has a billion bases all around the world and always interferes with other countries when they’re not actively bombing them, so yeah it’s kind of important.
You’re dutch. Same shit. The washington-london-berlin-tel aviv axis on evil
dutch? lol what

Only at the people who enabled him, and not he himself?
