Only consequence I can predict:
Its on the rest of is to make consequences possible
The Empire is attacking! Launch the X-Wing fighters!
I’m willing to bet 100 dollars that this will go nowhere with the help of Democratic leadership and their members voting against it.
The number of co-sponsors has risen to 70 since this was published
Only one third of the minority party in the House.
Like, I’m not even mad at them. I just wish the party had over 70 people with more than an ounce of ethics or a gram of self-preservation instinct.
In the face of fascist paramilitary death squads going door to door, you can’t even get every Dem to agree the fascist paramilitary death squads should be abolished.
Great to see it happening, but I wish a Republican introduced it. Not only would it show there’s a break for reason, but it’d also prevent it from being labeled a Democratic hoax, give it a reasonable chance of making it to the Senate, allow some Republicans to show an ounce of reasonableness to the cult’s face, reassure some allies that the party in charge hasn’t completely lost its mind, and serve as a warning to the cult.
You sure you really want that? If republicans start backing off now, people will forget all this, repubs will start winning elections again, the country will carry on like none of this ever happened, and we’ll be right back here a few cycles from now. The only way to solve this problem for any length of time is to follow it to its bitter end, anything else is just kicking the can down the road.
Unless there is a lengthy prison sentence there will be no justice.
ZERO consequences coming for that rotten cunt.
Oh no. Lmao. -Noemi, probably
What consequences? An angry letter from democrats asking to please stop?
At worst she gets to go home to her millions of dollars, gets a TV deal, and America stays on the exact same course.
Right now Democrats are in the minority. This is effectively demonstration that when they’re in power, there will be prosecution
Its funny you think they will do anything if they have power because history says otherwise.
This is a good thing but let’s not delude ourselves too much. They are only doing this because Noam is an easy target and functionally not much will change even if she is impeached.
It’s all optics. Good optics - it’s good policy and good politics imo - but not indicative of a fundamental shift in blatant opposition like we’d like it to be.
Lol. Its almost like you pay no attention to things like the Inflation Reduction Act and then claim that because you didn’t pay attention, they did nothing.
Just negging
What did the inflation reduction act do? Like materially how did it makes peoples lives better? Did people get better healthcare? Did the unhomed get housing? Did the starving get food? Did the unemployed get jobs?
What did it DO?
It started creating a ton of jobs in the renewable energy and electric vehicles space to cut the cost of electricity and getting around.
Republicans repealed it once they came to power
Do you see the point I am making at least? I’m not even saying it’s bad I’m just saying it’s not a meaningful fix for the systemic issues. It’s a bandaid on top of a wound that we are hemorrhaging from profusely.
You want huge systemic change, it takes giving Democrats a 75% supermajority like they had to pass rhe New Deal. You dont get it by giving them a situation where picking off a single marginal vote with a bribe can derail legislation
I mean impeaching cabinet members is kind of pointless innit? Trump can easilly find a replacement that is functionally identical. You have to cut the head off VP+President at the very least. But really just skip all that bullshit and start advocating for a Constitutional Convention, the US government is broken and a CC is the only non-violent option.
Why would you want a constitutional convention? Ratification of a constitutional amendment requires acceptance by 75% of state legislatures. 60% of state legislatures are controlled by Republicans, which as I’m sure you know is the party causing the vast majority of the problems you are referring to. Nothing good would come from that unless you are the type who wants to enshrine anti-DEI bullshit in the constitution.
Any new appointments would have to go through congressional approval. Of course they could potentially get rubber stamped by the Republican controlled Senate, but they are losing support of some of the Republicans in the Senate so it’s not a guarantee right now. I believe Thom Tillis (R-NC) and Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) have both stated publicly that they will block any appointments to the Federal Reserve so I can see them or others potentially doing the same for other appointments. This being an election year probably has a lot of them considering how they can save face for what they’ve let occur over the last year. I’m still making a lot of assumptions so who knows what would happen.
A Constitutional Convention while the conservatives have this much power will do what?
No. Following procedure maintains a sense of lawful government. While the act will fail, we will have a record if we ever get back to freedom.
How I wish this wouldn’t fall predictably along party lines
No there won’t.
Riiiiiiiiiiight.
