If we are able to get our country back in 2028 whoever the president is then needs to use every bit of their power to arrest and prosecute every single person who went along with Donny’s agenda. If not we will do this all over again, but stupider and worse.

If he pardons them there is nothing anyone can do... legally

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Not necessarily. There will still be options for most of them, if we have the political will to play HARD BALL.

Also, it's important to remember that these people are literally career criminals. They don't know how to operate legally. Now that we know who they are and what they are up to, we will just prosecute them harshly for their future crimes - and there will be future crimes, they can't help it.

We just have to hound them for their entire lives. And their families. And their businesses. And their neighbors. Make everyone they know regret their association.

Make them American Pariahs. We could create an actual official list of Wanted Pardoned MAGA Criminals, and if any actionable criminal activity by these specific things individuals is uncovered, there is additional bonus rewards for reporting them. Encourage people to monitor them CLOSELY in every aspect of their lives.

That president also needs to close every single loophole Donny exposed.

They won't tho.

[–] Eheran@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Ah, you mean like last time? Where nothing was prosecuted?

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

No, like the NEXT time, when we will prosecute and imprison them ruthlessly and mercilessly, and any Democrat that resists will be investigated, prosecuted, and imprisoned as well. Treason will no longer be tolerated by ANYONE.

You work for US! Do your jobs, or else!

No they won't. They'll protect them and post some dramatic tweets about how horrible they are. Centrist Democrats won't do jack shit. They're weak and in on the grift.

[–] FreshParsnip@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 day ago

And they shouldn't?

[–] FE80@lemmy.world 56 points 2 days ago (4 children)

You would have to be a moron to believe Democrats will hold Republicans responsible for anything.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 22 points 2 days ago (5 children)

If the Dems don't hold MAGA responsible for their many CRIMES, it's YOUR fault.

Mamdani recently said:

"For far too long our party has seen its job as managing decline instead of delivering material change for working people. It has seen its job as explaining why we cannot instead of showing how we can."

YOU are part of "managing decline," either out of cowardice, or by design.

Politicians are generally lazy and greedy, and if you tell them that you expect nothing from them, give them permission to do nothing, and tell them that we'll do nothing about it, and that's exactly what they'll do - Northing - and they'll go right back to their favorite pastime, Insider Trading.

Last night, 29 year old Democratic Socialist Melat Kiros won her primary over a 15 term incumbent, and said:

"For decades Democrats have failed to meaningfully deliver for working families,” Kiros told POLITICO’s William Steakin late last night following her stunning victory in Colorado’s 1st Congressional District. “We have to root out the corruption and get money out of our politics … It’s about political will — and that means we have to vote out any of the incumbents that are standing in our way by taking that kind of corporate PAC money.”

You are talking about the OLD Democratic Party, the lazy, corrupt losers that helped MAGA gain power, and let them into the White House, TWICE. The MAGA Comedy act of Schmuck & Jeffries are as responsible for that as MAGA itself, and the NEW Democrats that will take over after the Midterms will not will not accept their traditional Corporate Establishment Democratic Identities as Cowardly Weenies. They are being elected to make change, they are taking that charge seriously, and we need to support them with everything we've got.

We need to send the message that we will no longer accept them doing nothing. We already elected them once to do something about MAGA, and they fucked us over, and let MAGA back in. If we take it back again, we expect them to deal with MAGA decisively, crush it, and purge it from our government, and our society.

But instead, your response is: "We know you won't do anything to save us from the MAGA Parasites, but that's okay, we never really expected your help anyway."

Ew, gross. Grow a spine.

The definition of Democrat is changing. The old guard is finally falling. This might actually work out after all. I’m skeptical but hopeful.

[–] smeenz@lemmy.nz 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Well you're in luck then, because a solid 30% of Americans are in fact morons, with another 20% precariously balanced on a knife edge

It's time to put pedos in jail, not in office.

You mean in the ground

[–] dejected_warp_core@lemmy.world 16 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Democrats won't, but progressives sure will.

[–] kreskin@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Ever shoot clay pigeons? do you think we could build a clay pidgeon launcher that could shoot a pedo human? Just a physics question.

[–] IsoKiero@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The thing you're looking for is a catapult.

[–] kreskin@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

I was looking for a low and slow trajectory, but I suppose we can use a catapult coupled with an AI targetting app for the trap shooting. AI can finally be good for something. The cost of the RAM for the terminal to make the AI call will be the real hurdle.

[–] TronBronson@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago

They might even wag their finger at them!

[–] Suavevillain@lemmy.world 18 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Strong worded letter inbound.

[–] smeenz@lemmy.nz 3 points 1 day ago

Hey hey hey, let's not shove the pedal to the floor !. There are many less aggressive options to consider before penning a strongly worded letter !

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

After the Midterms, those strongly worded letters are going to be subpoenas.

[–] the_crotch@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Sure, just like last time right?

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 0 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

No, like next time, when they all go to prison.

Why does everybody assume that the Dems are going to do the same things that fucked them up the last time?

The voters want MAGA to be punished for their crimes, and they are electing people who intend to do that. It's a new world in the Democratic Party. MAGA DINOS are glowing brightly, and we all see who they are. They are as responsible for the rise and resurrection of MAGA as MAGA themselves, and if they don't actively take a redemption path, they are going to be primaried out in humiliating fashion.

They better get on board, or start punching up their resumes for their next job.

Because they've lived in this country for more than 10 minutes

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 0 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

If that's the case, then it's YOUR fault. If you've been paying attention, like you imply, you should recognize that there is a powerful new movement in the Democratic Party, and instead of trying to get everybody to surrender in advance, like always, you could support them.

Instead, you'd rather give them permission to fail again, and let them know that you'll accept it, and guess what? They will. They'd rather go back to their Insider Trading hobby than do their jobs, so if you give them permission to ignore us, they happily will.

Instead of accepting their cowardice, you could scare them into doing their jobs, by threatening to primary them, threatening to vote against them, screaming at their phone call people, demanding they do their jobs, OR ELSE!

Or you can be a weak little pissant who tries to tell those who are fighting for YOU, that they are wasting their time.

Ew, gross, grow a spine.

[–] the_crotch@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 hours ago

Oh it's my fault the entire government is collaborating against us and has been for decades. Ok champ.

[–] Tidesphere@lemmy.world 28 points 2 days ago (4 children)

Yeah, blue could win everything. They could have a supermajority in both chambers of Congress and pack the Supreme court to have an undeniable majority

And the Democrats would still ensure that no other conservatives see any kind of consequences.

[–] CADmonkey@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Your tired defeatism is what they are hoping for.

Vance is now on record saying if the Nixon scandal happened today it wouldn't even make it on the news. That is how brazenly corrupt these asshats are.

No apologies, just the smug "we can grift all we want".

I wanna see a source for that quote. If it’s real, I’ll laugh my pants off

[–] green_goglin@thelemmy.club 149 points 3 days ago (7 children)

Seems to be paraphrasing:

“If we lose the midterms, heaven forbid, these Democrats — y’all, impeachment isn’t even the real concern,” the Louisiana Republican told a conservative audience on Friday. “They will turn every committee of Congress into an investigative body, and they’ll go after the president’s family, the Cabinet, his donors, friends, half of you in this room will be targeted.”

The House speaker added, “I run the protection program. I’ll take care of you.”

I've heard if you deport them fast enough and send them to a nonextradition country with a supermax prison then you don't even need to make a case against them. Seems a lot cheaper for the tax payers.

[–] uriel238@lemmy.blahaj.zone 17 points 2 days ago (4 children)

If only the Democrats had that much spine.

I'll still vote blue begrudgingly, but I have very very VERY little faith in Dem leadership will do anything meaningful like putting the current administration in prison. I'm already expecting to be massively disappointed in the Dems doing fuck all if they gain power back. Love to be proved wrong, but establishment Dems still hold the party and you can't trust any of those stock trading bastards.

[–] fluffykittycat@slrpnk.net 20 points 2 days ago (1 children)

That's why you need to vote for the farthest left primary hand didn't matter how "unelectable" or "extreme" you were told they are because electing more centrists is the same as just selecting more Republicans
