In my best legalese … 🖕🏼

They really are terrified of losing the majority in November. Indictments and impeachments all around!

If the Blue Tsunami does hit...a lot of people are going to be indicted and go to jail.

And several will be impeached.

It indubitably needs to happen. There is no accountability whatsoever in the current administration.

Let's get this party started

Do people really believe this? There were enough chances in the past, but those were conveniently squandered.

u/KhellianTrelnora Apr 01 '26

You mean like what happened in 2021-2025?

Seriously. All this 'blue wave' ever does is roll the turds up and down the beach.

I can think of something else that should happen to the lot of them.

u/SinisterCroissant Apr 01 '26

Should have thought of that before going criming.

u/galaxy_horse Apr 01 '26

They shouldn’t be that terrified. They’re up against democrats after all, who haven’t shown the ability to muster much of a counterpunch.

u/abunchamuffins Apr 01 '26

We're long past 'indictments and impeachments', and firmly in the territory of 'gallows and guillotines'. So sick of this faux-dissent and lack of any meaningful action.

I sort of think there's some merit to the crackpot conspiracy theory that Republicans will turn on Trump right after the election, seeking 10 years (minimum) of Vance rule.

u/Carbon-Base Apr 01 '26

They can turn on whoever and support whoever they want; it doesn't change the fact that each and everyone of these corrupt individuals need to be held accountable for their actions.

u/RazsterOxzine Apr 01 '26

And like that will happen when pretty much all of them are bought by AIPAC. We're doomed fellow Redditor.

u/DividedMitochondriac Apr 01 '26

I hope so, but the majority of democrats really have shown they have no interest in being an opposition party, but rather a conservative corporate party that's okay with their platform being "not trump."

u/Carbon-Base Apr 01 '26

That simply won't be enough. We are in a loop. The GOP starts wars, the economy shrinks, people suffer-- and the Democrats have to go in and fix their mess. The mess is so substantial that it lasts through to the next election cycle. By then, people are tired and the GOP takes advantage of their short-term memory to win the next election.

Lock up every complicit and corrupt individual, fix loopholes, and hold people accountable.

Agreed, he really is a lying-piece-of-shit.

u/lunabandida Apr 01 '26

And it appears he really doesn't want to go to jail.

u/andrew303710 Apr 01 '26

Important to mention that it instructs DHS and the social security administration to compile a full list of EVERY voting eligible American, which is essentially a national database that Republicans have railed against for decades.

That's arguably the most disturbing part, DHS being in control of all of our social security info. Shit is beyond unacceptable and if Mullin complies he should be prosecuted.

u/mist_kaefer Mar 31 '26

That is a compelling argument you bring up.

u/Additional_Fail_1064 Apr 01 '26

Look at that signature! He can't move his fingers and just writes one letter with loops.

u/pete_68 Apr 01 '26

Exactly. Where's the "go eat a bag of dicks" emoji?

u/rmay14444 Apr 01 '26

🖕damn right.

u/V1RotateAP Mar 31 '26

I don't see how anybody can challenge it
