What's new

The official "let's impeach Trump" thread

I'm sure numerous threads have been started about this, but I'm too lazy to search. What's the latest thread?
Just use this threat. I'm an automaton mechanic. My job prospects are looking good over the next 20 years. I've worked with automated systems since 2000. But I can see a time when most people I work with will not be necessary. Should we just tell them all to be Walmart greeters? They make over $20/hour now. They all gonna go min wage? Who will buy all the stuff the robots are making?

Even Walmart is even phasing out that position. I have not seen a greeter for awhile now myself.
 


This thread came across my Twitter feed, thought I would post it since it relates to the earlier conversation about how minority individuals can and have become white supremacists.
 
His signature literally says get educated. Hes always boasting about college education.. and how everyone else who isn't is basically an inbred redneck. (not a direct quote)


Well ****, no wonder I’m adopted. Guess my brother-sister parents couldn’t handle the stigma. Thanks a lot Obama

Every single Walmart I’ve been to for weeks has one. I’ve been to a good 7-8 in 2 states. It’s probably up to the store manager.

The Los Angeles police department has revealed in court that it infiltrated an activist group planning anti-Trump protests, in the latest case of US law enforcement spying on leftwing organizers.....

In Sacramento, police worked with neo-Nazis to pursue cases against leftwing activists, including seeking charges against anti-fascist protesters who were stabbed at a white supremacist rally. In Berkeley, police collaborated with a violent pro-Trump demonstrator to prosecute a leftwing group last year, and there have been similar controversies in Washington DC, Oregon and other states.

The LAPD surveillance was particularly striking given that there was documented evidence of violence involving far-right groups in southern California around the same time, and that those white supremacist organizations do pose a serious threat, said Mike German, a former FBI agent and expert on local extremist groups.

“This case seems to fall into a pattern of police agencies viewing anti-fascist organizing as terrorism, while overlooking the far more deadly and frequent violence perpetrated by white supremacists and other far-right militants,” he said.

I’m glad they're investigating and checking these alt left groups.

Now if they’d just give these alt right groups the same treatment.

Are they? Honest question.

Hope so. The extremists that claim to be left or right are a detriment to society and cause nothing but trouble. I don't think that either side represents the whole but they are all anyone hears about because drama sells.

Word on the Street.....

The guvmint actually starts all the alt-right groups as a continuing sting operation, to locate and utilize the nutjobs, as part of the on-going psy-op/public opinion management outreach.

hence, while there really are no actual genuine organized right-wingers, there is a ready supply of imbeciles who can be programmed to do stuff when it's needed.

guvmint doesn't need to organize any alt-left groups because Soros has volunteered to do all that.

Everyone else has real jobs now, thanks to Trump's MAGA program.

You spelled conspiracy wrong.

The Media hype isn't selling much anymore. I don't know, and know of no one who knows any, "extremists". Really.

It's just narrative run out to fill the air and airheads.

seriously, can anyone really believe the news?
 
I didn't know which of the various political threads this would best fit in, so I figured, why not start a new one?

This twitter thread by David Rothkopf says it very eloquently so I'll post all the text here.


"It's the racism. But it's not just the racism. It's sex crimes. But it's not just the sex crimes. It's the concentration camps. But it's not just the concentration camps. It's the corruption. But it's not just the corruption.

It's being a traitor. But it's not just being a traitor. It's the obstruction of justice but its not just the obstruction of justice. It's the attacks on rule of law. But it's not just the attacks on the rule of law. It's the assault on freedom of the press.

But it's not just the assault on freedom of the press. It's the pathological lying. But it's not just the pathological lying. It's the unfitness for office. But it's not just the unfitness for office. It's the incompetence. But it's not just the incompetence.

It's the attacks on our most important allies and alliances. But it's not just the attacks on most important allies and alliances. It's the systematic destruction of our environment. But it's not just the systematic destruction of our environment.

It's the violation of international treaties and agreements. But it is not just the violation of international treaties and agreements. It's the embrace of our enemies. But it is not just the embrace of our enemies.

It's the defense of murdering dictators but it is not just the defense of murdering dictators. It is the serial undermining of our national security. But it is not just the serial undermining of our national security. It is the nepotism. But it's not just the nepotism.

It's the attacks on our federal law enforcement and intelligence communities. But it is not just the attacks on our federal law enforcement and intelligence communities. It's the fiscal recklessness. But it's not just the fiscal recklessness.

It's the degradation of the office and of public discourse in America. But it's not just the degradation of the office and of public discourse in America. It's the support of Nazis and white supremacists. But it's not just the support of Nazis and white supremacists.

It's the dead in Puerto Rico and the at the border. But it's not just the dead in Puerto Rico and at the border. It's turning the US government into a criminal conspiracy to empower and enrich the president and his supporters.

But it's not just the turning the US government into a criminal conspiracy to empower and enrich the president and his supporters. It's weaponization of politics in America to attack the weak. But it's not just the weaponization of American politics to attack the weak.

It's all these things together and the threat of worse to come. It is the damage that can not be undone. It is pathology that has overtaken our politics and our society, the revelation that 40 percent of the population and an entire political party are profoundly immoral.

It is a disease that has infected our system and is killing it. At the moment, we still have the wherewithal to fight back. But even those who recognize the dangers of this litany of crimes are proving too complacent, too inert in the face of this threat.

It is one of those moments in the history of a country when there is a choice to be made, a choice between having a future and not, between growth and decay, between democracy and oligarchy, between what we dreamt of being and what even our founders feared we might become.

The litany of crises and crimes is so long that we are becoming numb. You have heard of the fog of war. This is the fog of Trump. The volume of wrongs becomes its own defense. Is the president accused of being a rapist? Well, then remind them he is a racist and they'll forget.

This is a moment for leaders to step up. To challenge each of these abuses via every legal means available. To organize and draw attention to them. To blow the whistle if you are in government and you are being asked to violate your oath. To resist and refuse to be complicit.

If you can't do those things that make your voice heard and join a movement, support a political candidate, donate money, register voters, fight voter suppression. But whatever you do, resist becoming numb. Resist the temptation to let the recitation of old crimes and new...

...become a deadening drone. Every one matters in times like these. Every one must stand up for what is right. In their homes. In their schools. In the workplace. In their churches and synagogues and mosques.

We are approaching a great national decision about whether the American experiment will succeed or fail, whether this moment does what two world wars, a civil war and countless past misjudgments and missteps could not.

We will make it together, resist, offer a better alternative, embrace that alternative and the best leaders we can find...or succumb, let the inertia of some among us mark the end of what for two and half centuries was an idea so compelling it inspired the world."


This is impressive.

Have you taken a vacation since Nov 8 2016? Does your wife know where you are???

Is there anything on MSNBC you haven't believed in the past four years???

no, seriously.

do you still have a sense of humor???

So here's reality.…. not what's on TV or in the Media, or on your talking points sheet.....

The sun still shines. It rained a lot this year....snowed up in the mountains....and most of it has melted already..... it's acdtually hot outside.

Trump is one loose cannon that didn't get aimed right according to the experts. He'll get re-elected because people want something like him, a boat-rocker who will change stuff they don't like.

But it's only a few more years. A little more than five years. Trump's son will not get the nomination. Pence will not run. Mitt will run.... and fall flat.... well.... rather he'll bumble so nicely nobody will believe he can do anything for us.....

The Dems are in a piranha feeding frenzy, and have no one. But the Young Turks and other high-powered well-financed Dems will just look as anemic as Hillary or Biden. Obama's big plans.... buying that big mansion in the suburbs of DC,with the idea that he'll be pulling his bureaucratic and party strings and organizing the community outta his control center..... are just looney.

So the whole political system is gonna get hosed by a public that is just tired of the hype, by people who just wanna know what their medical bills will be and who just want their own privately-funded insurance pool, and guvmint get the hell outta Dodge. And who are happy to be going to work.

Life is still good. Turn off the TV and ask the wife out for a good dinner.

I can't help you any more than this. I gotta go back to work.

You mean, are they arresting them after working side-by-side with them to arrest left-wingers?
