Honestly, I think that impeaching all 6 justices is the right thing to do.
Just explain it to people in congress. You WILL lose your power when the whip comes down. You MAY be imprisoned or killed if you don’t get in line, and even if not, any power you had in congress will be stripped and discarded. There is no safety, even for the most extreme of the true believers. This is your chance. If you don’t try to stop it, then I think it’s better odds than 50/50 than within a couple of years you’ll be saying you’d do ANYTHING to be able to go back to today and do it, and have your old life just hanging out in Washington and doing legalized insider trading and collecting ~~bri~~campaign contributions and not having to worry about what will happen to you or your family or your home, again.
I don’t know if the people will believe if it is explained to them. Groupthink and complacency are powerful things. But that is absolutely what’s at stake.
Why bother with impeachment? Biden should just exploit their most recent verdict and round them up as part of an emergency official act.
You're right. I much prefer the guy with his boot on my neck to wear a blue tie.
And yet... you're the one in this thread who's stumping for the boot coming down on all our necks. But sure. Keep talking.
Guess I better get in line and shut up then.
And pay your power bill, and brush your teeth even though you already did yesterday, and try to prevent a horrifying fascist dictatorship with a credible chance at taking over the US from succeeding. I know I know it is oppressive to have to do these things.
I mean honestly I’m not even saying you should do that third one, just that you should stop implying that the pro killing protestors and political opponents guy is basically the same thing as an identifiably old person who isn’t as on board with a good progressive agenda as I would want him to be. But yes, whichever version you want, all three of those things are among the things I would recommend to get in line with if you want a safe and happy life going forward for the next few years.
I was remarking on the fact that the guy I was commenting under was wanting the blue tie guy to do the same thing the red tie guy wants to do. Advocating for fascism-left.
