    Hakeem, it’s called multitasking, like when you take AIPAC and corporate money at the same time. Do both you fuckwad.

    I recognize why it’s unpopular, and think his explanation is piss poor, but he’s not wrong to not prioritize impeachment. If the house impeaches Trump again, it will go to the senate, which requires a 67 vote super majority to remove. That won’t happen. They have a majority, but not a super majority. The impeachment would be a waste of time. A show trial, with no real consequences.

    It would be far better to prioritize taking popular actions they can actually push forward, ensuring people vote to keep them in power in the next two elections + get a democrat president, and use the justice department to prosecute citizen Trump, et al. They can hold people accountable. But they don’t have the power to remove anyone right now.

    Who expects laws being upheld by a legislative body? Preposterous, they’re elected to illicit bribes, insider trade, and fundraise.

    They are both beholden to Israël and Israeli funds. They have no interest in doing the bidding for the American people, never have.

    They need to be replaced by people with morals and who cannot being bought cheaply by an authoritarian regime that promotes genocide.

    I want every single ICE agent to spend the rest of their lives running on a hamster wheel for 16 hours a day to generate free electricity for the grid more than I want to be able to afford food again

    Translation: he’s a no balls having weak little toadie. “Oh no, we have to focus on economic stability” by catering to the oligarchy party. Guess who made the economy this shit?
