We should not move on from the President threatening to annihilate a civilization.
I’ll never get over the fact that Donald Trump threatened to bomb an entire country into extinction, and Congress didn’t have the spine or decency to reconvene to stop him.
I'd really like to see leadership calling for impeachment and removal, regardless of whether they have the votes to get it done. Same way we called for marriage equality before we had the votes. A leader's job is to lead. If a genocidal threat isn't impeachable, then nothing is.
When Trump blinks tonight, remember...we may have dodged a disaster temporarily based on a pathetic face-saving ploy...but there is still a raving lunatic in charge of the world's strongest military.
Pete, you're one of my favorite politicians, but you need to be more explicit here than "rein him in." You need to be calling for the 25th Amendment to be invoked by his Cabinet. Please be as clear as AOC on this.
Even though the President did not follow through with his genocidal threat, he should still be removed from office. No one should ever be allowed to make genocidal threats without political consequences, including those who serve in the White House.
A madman has control of the most powerful military in the history of the world and the leaders of his party are too afraid to say or do anything to stop him.
Trump: "A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don't want that to happen, but it probably will."
Pop quiz guys: what do you call acts committed with the intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial, or religious group?
1) We all need to screenshot and save this for evidence.
2) Any man who puts to writing threats to end civilian lives, especially entire civilizations, should never EVER have access to a military, a nuclear weapon or the office of the Presidency.
3) We have to get him out of there.
A House Democrat is moving to block Trump’s signature from appearing on U.S. paper money and securities and we’re here for it. Rep. Jimmy Gomez introduces the bill tomorrow morning. No sitting president should be allowed to use the nation’s currency as a personal billboard.
It’s hard to overstate how immoral and wrong it is that Trump is likely sending American soldiers into harm’s way for no good reason. Every American who voted for this man to lead America have aided and abetted this tragic mistake.
Hey Congress,
Any President, regardless of political party, who threatens to order the United States Military to commit war crimes needs to be impeached immediately.
If he does give these orders, he should be handed over to the International Criminal Court.
Firing Kristi Noem doesn’t mean Trump should be able to get away with a case of amnesia over everything that happened in Minneapolis. Read the details, connect the dots, and remember to say their names, especially Renee Good and Alex Pretti. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...
This is why they changed Pete Hegseth's title to "Secretary of Operations."
Is the world really going to have to suffer WW3 because the USA can’t impeach a president?
Let's focus on something we ALL agree on:
#ReleaseTheEPSTEIN_Files
The True dwelling of the holy.
8 Million protesters yesterday at #NoKings.
No police beaten with flag poles.
No fire extinguishers thrown at other humans.
No vandalism or theft.
No racist flags.
No zip ties.
No death threats.
No pipe bombs.
No poop smeared on walls.
That's what happens when mature, civilized people protest.
“I'm an American, and most of the time proud of it. Even when I am displeased with what my country is doing, I am still an American who is displeased. And fortunately, being an American, I don't have to whimper, I don't have to whine, I have the right to protest...”

To whoever did this at the #NoKings in Boston: Thank you.❤️
It made me tear up. And we must to be reminded of needless damage to humanity that results directly from the careless, bellicose bluster coming from the Pentagon and White House.
No one seems to be talking about all the guns now present in airports around the nation, due to all these I.C.E. agents being armed.
Only a matter of time until something pops off involving one of these guns.
Adding guns to ANY situation makes that situation less safe. Period.
THIS!!! Real people’s lives are affected!!
Karoline Leavitt: “It’s not part of the current plan right now… but the president… wisely keeps his options on the table.”
She’s talking about a fucking draft.
I hope one day this man will be our president. There are many reasons for that, including his rational, articulate speech here. But one of the main ones is that I don’t think it would ever occur to him in a million years to tell this journalist to smile more.
They cut Meals on Wheels for seniors, doctors for the VA, and food for American children - but send billions of taxpayer dollars to the Middle East for an unnecessary war of choice.
How is this legal?
A sitting U.S. President threatening a private company with “consequences” unless they fire Susan Rice?
That’s not leadership — that’s intimidation.
Presidents don’t get to bully corporations into purging people they dislike.
This is authoritarian behavior. Period.
#Resist
Agreed. This is not a cost-saving measure. They’re doing it to make people mad at the Democrats for the shutdown.
