Our capital city is under occupation by forces loyal to a fascist who ignores the Constitution and breaks the law whenever he feels like it.

This is the worst crisis our democracy has ever faced.

The cost of trying is zero

The cost of not trying is the end of American freedom and democracy

This is not a hard choice

Mike Johnson has expressed unconditional support.

Hakeem Jeffries has clearly stated that he has no plans to impeach regardless of what happens in November.

That's not opposition.

That's a dictator's dream.

Convincing 300 million citizens that something must be done takes time.

Ryan & Pelosi did (Jeffries & Johnson are doing) the exact opposite. They are downplaying the severity of the wrongdoing in order to justify inaction

They are making the case against impeachment every single day

Imagine if we had fierce opposition leaders like back in the 90s.

Impeachments would be dropping like rain in a monsoon.

#ImpeachConvictRemove #CourageCandidates #NoDo #RaiseTheBar #PrimaryThemAll #NoKings

Members of congress could and should shame their colleagues and use the Epstein Files cover up to their own political advantage.

It would very likely end Trump's presidency.

This is not a big ask.

Impeachment is hard work. If our reps are not willing to do the work they should resign and go away immediately.

Many ordinary citizens simply don't know how these things work.

Senator Chris Murphy and Rep Melanie Stansbury, however, know and they're trying to gaslight you. They yap about unworkable bullshit like the 25th Amendment in order to pretend their doing something when in fact they are doing zero work and their lethargy does nothing to end the fascist regime.

#ImpeachConvictRemove #ImpeachTheFascists #RaiseTheBar #PrimaryThemAll #NoKings #nodo #DemandMore #uspol #uspolitics

The 25th Amendment is TEN TIMES HARDER to implement than impeachment.

Anyone talking about the 25th Amendment now is either:

A. completely ignorant
B. not serious about removing the orange menace

Jessica Denson is right:

Without doubt the worst blunder of any American politician in history

Pelosi had a golden opportunity to politically beat the living fuck out of a rising fascist criminal dictator, and she declined in favor of non-existent political expedience

Morally reprehensible and practically idiotic

#ImpeachNow #ImpeachConvictRemove #DemandMore #NancyPelosi #Pelosi #ImpeachTheFascists #NoDo #OrangeFascsitGotToGo #RaiseTheBar #PrimaryThemAll #NoKings #CourageCandidates #uspol #uspolitics 🇵🇸

Ryan, Pelosi, Johnson, and Jeffries effectively took impeachment off the table. So in that sense nothing is "impeachable" anymore

to restore American Democracy we have to kick Jeffries Johnson and all their allies out of DC and make crime impeachable again

Pelosi and her gang blocked hundreds of impeachments

They were proudly pro-fascist the whole time.

Good people who love their country voted for a vile piece of shit who said "He's not worth impeaching" then gave a fascist a free pass on a massive crime spree.

@HakeemG

Those impeachments covered less than 1% of the crime and corruption

but Nancy Pelosi firmly believed "He's not worth impeaching" and so she blocked another 150+ impeachments, normalizing exec branch criminality like never before in U.S. history.

Just last year she was still doing it.

She doesn't think he's done anything wrong

How many impeachable offenses have been committed?

How many times has Steve Cohen done his Constitutional Duty?

There is a giant difference between these numbers.

It's just a fact. Cohen is a pro-fascist dirtbag.

not impeaching when there was rock solid evidence of hundreds of crimes is exactly what Pelosi did

it was incredibly stupid then

and it's even more stupid to continue that strategy

which so obviously catastrophically failed

@juliehuz

Let's take a quick look back at the last time Dems won the House in the mid-terms of a Trump Presidency

Pelosi announced within hours that orange man gets a free pass on his massive crime spree

Has Jeffries or anyone from Dem leadership ever admitted this was a horrific mistake?

Julie thinks she's "increasing the likelihood of a successful impeachment" by arguing against impeachment.

The level of stupid here is just astonishing.
