Yeah, so why don't the Dems introduce impeachment every damn day? Schumer and the rest are against it. And why is the genocidist Schumer invited to speak at Public Citizen on "corruption" of all topics. Absurd!

Jan's avatar

Until we have a Senate majority of Democrats, he would get impeached again (as he already has been twice) without being removed from his position.

Geoff's avatar

So what? Nothing else is getting done in this pathetic Congress. Introduce it anyway...EVERY DAMN DAY...and FORCE A VOTE EVERY DAMN TIME

I’m with you Geoff. Put it in their face every day. Let the pressure be consistent and persistent. Be as relentless as this administration’s daily crimes.

And give the appearance of being demented?

If you think having principles and a backbone is demented I feel sorry for you

Until we have a House majority and a Senate supermajority all of whose members have signed a pledge to their constituents that, if elected, they will impeach and convict Trump - so it is our job to tell all the candidates that we will not vote for them unless they do ... and if they do promise but don't follow through that must be their last stay in office.

We have to start getting serious about our Gov.t, folks, 'cause we are running out of time. lip service just ain't gonna do it anymore ...

And both of us, we the people, and Congress must stand by that promise - if we chicken out with the ole support for the LOTE candidate, or VBNMW, we will deserve what we get ....

WHY? NOTHING ON ANY USS LIBERTY INVESTIGATION. WHY? WE ARE NOW THE UNITED STATES OF ISREAL.

Netanyahu’s tool is BLACKMAIL, he sets them up, with bribes, so our Reps no longer work for US. That is the poisoned rotting Pickle. Reps can be ruled by threats of blackmail. Grow some balls! And do your damn jobs! Or, get the Hell OUT!

They happily take the billionaires bribes, leaving themselves open to exposure for taking BRIBES.

Brother its all a show. Even Ralph is scrambling for a narrative if he thinks AOC is a worthy leader. None of them actually give a shit about us, they are all just playing career politics.

Cynicism never helps

Geoff's avatar

It's not cynicism, it's skepticism well grounded in the history of "opposition party" inaction. At this point, the fact the do-nothing Dems could be remotely as unpopular as trump is malpractice. When Biden took over, he failed to take the basic measures to protect democracy, betting on "normalcy", allowed these monsters to remain untouched and return to office

But POSITIVE ACTION does!😉🗽🌅

Mancub's avatar

Not only was it not cynicism, which someone else already pointed out, it was a comment rooted in the truth. The fact that this is still up for debate, or rather, that a person is in someway convinced that one's “optimism” affects their's or another's perception of any given situation, is absurd.

But what do I expect from people who are actively trying to misinterpret others, and replace their ideas with ideas that should be “positive” in their eyes alone.

An impossible task by definition.

I suspect my ancestor, Ethan Allen, might well have held an "Impeachment Symposium" every day until the citizenship and their governmental representatives, state and federal, awakened and realized their collective silence and obfuscation could well be regarded by the infective cartel corrupting virtually everything a silent voice of approval.

Sherry Means's avatar

Just a bit of background information, I am also related to Ethan Allen and had this same thought you commented on the Ralph nader radio hour. One such relation was a Wesley Allen who settled here in Bennett County, SD circa 1870s. I have a book manuscript of his witnessing of the 1890s Wounded Knee massacre of that interests you.

The Allen's have reunions and used to invite my father, Russell Means. However they did not keep in contact with the rest of the family and I don't recall their names. If you find such information, reach out via message.

Thom Williams's avatar

Thanks for the ❤ and the reply Sherry! My maternal grandmother was an Allen, who grew up in a large family in South Bend, Indiana. When I was a teenager I attended a reunion there and met most of her family, especially including her father, my great grandfather Allen; and her brother, Leslie "Benny" Allen, born December 7, 1893 and passed June 1, 1976, who attended South Bend Central high school, and played every minute of all football, baseball, and basketball games; and was a star athelete at both Wabash College & Notre Dame University from 1914-1917 winning two letters in football, two in baseball, and one in basketball at Wabash, and All-Westwern fullback; second team All-American while starting quaterback at Notre Dame Law School.

YES, I am very interested in the information regarding Wesley Allen and his "...witnessing of the 1890's Wounded Knee massacre."

As Usual,

Excellent timing Ralph Nader! Great law, critical thinking, and common sense. Compared to campaign events I've lately attended where Dems seem, regardless of audience agony, in a time warp of cheese straw/pretzel cups and cheerleading.

Ralph Nader, this second symposium is a relevance and call to action real people need - thanks for once again delivering.

Sharing!

A lot of good stuff. I get frustrated too, with the democrats that don't do much for Impeachment and I disagree with those here that say that it is pointless, no majority, etc. It does't matter. Sometimes the process itself is a way of building resistance. How do we reach those disaffected voters if we dont' show them a fight for them. Compare and contrast their lives to the what Trump is getting for himself, what Trump is doing with the world, how we are losing our moral authority to claim that we want to defend our constitutions if we don't pay attention to how he, and a lot of Congress, keep destroying it.

What I would like to know, and maybe Ralph can have someone to talk more in depth about this, is how can we make SCOTUS less consequential, if possible. That institution has no moral, no ethics, not reason to exist, not with lifetime license to destroy lives.

Another thing that I would like to hear more about is how do we get more people to participate. I talk to people who are the usual bourgeois liberal, they still rant about voters who didn't pick Kamala, refuse to acknowledge that the problem isn the party that doesn't have a good product to "sell" and I am pretty sure, don't even pick up the phone to talk to their legislators. Mostly are boomers and older Gen Xers. What do we reach them? By the way, I am an old Gen Xer too, but I am doing those things. Also, not a liberal bourgeois.

I also disagree with one of the speakers about the Founders. The country is organized exactly how they planned. It was never supposed to be a democracy, it was supposed to be some kind of Republic where the privileged few will always have more leverage. They gave us the right to vote, but limited our power to actually pick who is the leader of the country, who in turn chooses those who will decide which laws are to be followed. It is a big scam and Trump fits right in. we just need more people to wake up to this and start exercising People's Power. Kudos to those who are already doing so

When I contact my senators like Blumenthal about the insane military spending and the proposed merger of US and Israeli intelligence and military, all I get is that this is good for jobs in Connecticut. And contacting Rep. Himes, he says he will keep my concerns in mind when voting on these bills. As much as I'd like to see Netanyahu arrested if he comes to the US, Mayor Mandami's assertion that he'd do that if by law he could met with a lot of push back from Democrats. Maybe the thing to do is operate like Israel does, give no forewarning of attacks, assassinations, pager attacks, etc.. They just do their dirty work without warning. Iran should consider threats from the US and Israel as actual actions and then launch their military operations without warning.

Even I , a person who lives to follow the rules so everyone’s freedom remains know that we should already have impeached these crooks. It so slaps good citizens in the face! Furious , furious at all the empty comments and NOTHING changes. We are better than this????????

The Rosenbergs were put to death for less!

Regina foucht's avatar

I’m flabbergasted with our leaders who are A..ok with destroying the country… the world…? For what? Do they really think this will work out for them and their families? Won’t they also use the poisoned food water and air? Or do they have a secret stash of good food?

SH's avatar

Shucks, I am even more flabbergasted at we the people for letting them do it!

Nice to hear from mr painter again! Been a long time fan!

I think it's time to have a symposium on nuclear poliferation and forget this stuff about impeachment. Can you just think of New York City, Chicago, or San Francisco gone. Can you imagine Paris or London gone forever ? I am sure there are some Texans that think Dallas should be on that list , but I don't think so not in the first go around. Remember In the movie " Fail Safe " they traded Moscow for New York City.

I bet if Iran showed up at the first symposium meetings they would have a lot to say.

How about Pakistan and Turkey with their nukes? Do you think the old Soviet Union could spare a few of their 6000 nukes and give a few to Iran and settle this , " you got more than I do ". Or do you think it's time for the old world geezer leaders and diplomates to step aside and let the next generation take the field and instead of 3 strikes of impeachment " you are out ", maybe a better plan would be to , "walk " the old geezers and let them leave the field with their party and dignity ,,,,,if they deserved it .

Good luck America have a great day my friends.

Progressives are right to urge Impeachment ---- but Congress and the electorate would never impeach Trump if the 2024 vote and current polls are any indication.

Less than 1% voted progressive in 2024, whereas about 26% voted for Trump, and about 25% went for Harris.

These 2024 numbers are close to current polls. Trump needed less than 30% support to get reelected in 2024 which is about what he has in current polls.

So what if he already was!! It was the wrong charge!! Shameful.

If he was impeached NOW we would have their VOTES on RECORD!!! & people would be more informed about how to vote!!!

With the charge of Violating the Emoluments Clause even some of his supporters would understand he's ripping them & USA off, that Congress has done nothing to stop him (tho a tiny few have tried), and that would matter. I want Congress Members VOTES On RECORD!!

AMEN to IMPEACHMENT plus additional remarks.

The parasite criminal ruling class always projects their crimes outward, blaming and gaslighting the victims!

We the People must restore The Constitutional Republic!

Congress recently passed a BRUTAL BETRAYAL BILL that robs from the poor and neediest to give more to the rapacious rich and psychotic murderous Military Industrial Complex, NOT what Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness and promoting The General Welfare is supposed to be!

The monsters in human skin suits (Netanyahu and his fully owned and operated puppet Trump are exemplars of such), who rule the world get a sadistic vampiric thrill and boost from perpetrating the vilest most demonic crimes against the most vulnerable (babies and small children) and then corrupting the system to get away with it scot free! We the People must stop them, there are a lot more of us than them!

Please check out this substack! ponerology.substack.com

This horrifying Congress Critters, Governor 'Gulag' Hochul, Gates, Governor 'Gruesome Newscum', 'Lone Scum', Soros, 'Benedict' Biden and Harris and even Trump, Vance, and 'Ramaswampy' et al are blatant fully owned and operated puppets of their globalist technocrat parasite masters same as other numerous 'PUBLIC SERPENTS' infesting by design from above, the bureaucratic apparatus.

Divide and rule! Agents provocateurs anyone, FALSE FLAGS, propaganda social engineering psyops? Keeping us proles at each others' throats while the globalist technocrat predators laugh all the way to the BIS and The Bank of Rothschild's!

Life everywhere is being assaulted by THE TECHNOCRATIC OMNIWAR! RESIST! DO NOT CONSENT TO ALL THINGS DIGITAL, 'SMART', AI, 5G, NO CASH - ALL OF IT! dhughes.substack.com Technocrat ruling class psychos get a sadistic thrill from their powers over life and death and hurting all who stand in their way and they need the resources worldwide to build their digital total slavery control grids (herd survivors into 15 minute city digital prisons)!

AI is designed to be anti-human/anti-life programmed by technocrat control freak psychos - garbage in = garbage out. Everyone got along just fine without all these absurd and downright satanic electronic gadgets that did not exist until recently. NOBODY NEEDS THIS AI CRAP!

HELL NO TO GENESIS MISSION/STARGATE/DEEPSEEK! HELL NO TO AI! technocracy.news

BURN BACK BETTER!

Anyone with 2 brain cells would know that 'NET ZERO' is an utterly insane off the charts idiocy, an absolute mathematical, physical, statistical and practical impossibility that can never be achieved or exist in reality!

Electricity has to come from somewhere, and the only reliable sources are coal, oil and gas (nukes don't cut it, the radioactive waste is too poisonous).

The 'CLIMATE CHAOS' fraud is the excuse and propaganda misdirection justifying attacks on farming and food, concealing a profoundly inimical globalist genocidal enslavement scheme.

Do you want to live in the squalor and drudgery and misery of the pre-industrial age? HELL NO!

HANDS OFF MY GAS STOVE! I LOVE MY GAS STOVE! Ever try to cook on an electric stove - absolute nightmare!

Can't say this often enough! CLIMATE CHANGE IS AN EVEN WORSE FRAUD THAN THE PLANSCAMDEMIC! SO-CALLED GREEN TECH IS A GIGANTIC SCAM! MINING AND MANUFACTURING 'GREEN' PRODUCTS NEEDS COAL, GAS AND OIL AND MINING RARE MINERALS IS MORE ENVIRONMENTALLY TOXIC AND DESTRUCTIVE THAN LEGACY PRODUCTS. SCREW YOUR DAMNED GREEN GRIFT AGENDA! climateviewer.com

CREATIVITY! ARTISTRY! IMAGINATION! SPIRITUALITY! HUMOR! LOVING KINDNESS! These are the best ways to fight THEM!

I also have a landline, a wired laptop and a wired monitor screen, and I never had or will have those infernal mobile devices designed to enslave you. I also use cash as much as possible, no cash is TOTAL SLAVERY.

It is heartbreaking to witness the holocausts happening and so many fellow citizens are brainwashed/bamboozled by the propaganda media, they are oblivious!

MISTAKES WERE NOT MADE! THEY can't get rid of the 'useless eaters' fast enough!

Peddling pure poison! Folks have to wake up to reality: health comes from organic diet, daily exercise and clean living and never from a needle or a pill except in dire, rare traumatic injuries.

It was NEVER about health! The Powers That Should Not Be were ALWAYS about they want you DEAD or a SLAVE! This is a painful truth to accept but we the people must wake up and fight back! And toxic injections/pills were/are a huge part of their arsenal! And kinetic military ops!

Can't say this often enough! The Military/Industrial Complex and the Biowarfare/industrial Complex, WEF agenda and the evils assaulting humanity are from one and the same source - it is the 99% against the diabolical GREED of the 0.01% who should not be in charge of anything!

JAB INJURIES: GROSS CALAMARI BLOOD CLOTS/AUTISM TSUNAMI/SADS/TURBO CANCER/BIZARRE TERMINAL ILLNESSES: More tragic victims of the ruling parasite genocidal enslavement agenda, sacrificed on the altar of psychopathic greed and hatred of humanity.

And BIG pHARMa is an arsenal making permanently sickly addicted slaves dependent on their products - the complete opposite of actual health.

Can't say this often enough!

SCREW THE HYPOCHONDRIA GERMAPHOBIC FEAR HYSTERIA! DO NOT CONSENT! Avian flu is for the birds! RESIST!

KEEP FIGHTING! All the perps who pushed this greatest crime against humanity, all the way down to the local level, must get their comeuppances!

Proudly ANTI-VAXX! Reiterating for the sake of newbies and to support this post.

Ban all vaccine jabs! There has never been a 'safe and effective' vaccine since Edward Jenner's fraud over 200 years ago as per 'Dissolving Illusions' by Suzanne Humphries and 'Turtles All the Way Down' by Anonymous.
