The Democrats have had an entire decade to offer some kind of meaningful opposition and didn’t bother. Why would they start now?
That’s incorrect. There’s a lot of obstruction from Republicans to allow Democrats to do anything since most decisions required 2/3rds vote to pass. Democrats could not convict Trump of impeachment with 57% of the vote since they needed more Republicans to push it over 2/3rds.
Likely? Try definitely. Or did PolitiFact forget who controls the House?
Of course they won’t, but damn they should.
Because of Congress’ current political makeup (Republicans control the House) — that almost certainly won’t happen by Jan. 20, when Trump will be sworn in as the 47th president.

We actually don’t know who controls the house, yet. Republicans need 7 more representatives, Democrats need 17, votes are still being counted.
I think we know.
Lol, as if there aren’t a million other things the fucker could be processed for. We got a…
-
Convicted rapist (oh sorry… “responsible for” rape, not a conviction, MY BAD!?!), someone who can’t stop making sexual remarks when his daughter is next to him and was close to Epstein back in 2002, saying he was a terrific guy and even knew about his interest in women “on the young side”.
-
Someone that has committed more acts of treason than we could know, including: giving Putin classified documents, like lists of SS agents that are now dead. The SS has tracked down a murdered people for FAR less, the fact that he isn’t on a hit list is beyond damming for the US as a “world power”.
-
I feel like I barely even have to mention is all of his fraudulent “businesses”. I mean that’s the only thing he actually got convicted of, because it’s so blatant and easy to do.
The fact this guy not only isn’t behind bars, but isn’t on a international wanted DEAD list, tells ya everything you need to know.
How do you know he isn’t on the intel communities hitlist. They still have time. Vance for pres in 2025.
What makes you think Vance wouldn’t be worse? He’s knee deep in Project 2025 and seems more than willing to see that through to the end.
Vance doesnt have Trumps cult of personality for one, for two once the orange fuckwit dies there will almost certainly be a feeding frenzy to fill the power void. Its entirely possible he could be a lame duck by default simply because the other Republicans are stabbing each other and wont listen.
Vance is just ambitious, he doesn’t idolize hitler, putin and kim

As much as I would love to see that, it would 100%, without a doubt, cause blood in the streets. Jan 6th would look like a beach vacation compared to what they would do if congress blocked it.
Should we accept that the threat of violence get in the way of justice?
There was a window to bar him from office using a technique like this and it was before the election.
Unless the theory is something substantial changed between 11/5 and now this is an absolutely awful idea.
That does not answer my question.
In a perfect world, yes, justice rules supreme for everyone.
In our actual world, if congress overturned the election (which is exactly what it would be), you think the already frothing at the mouth far right wouldn’t go apeshit? Imagine if the far right overturned a democraticly elected Democrat. We would lose our shit.
I am all for using every law and policy available to stop fascists. Overturning a seemingly fair election outcome, where the president elect was voted in by electorate AND popular vote is NOT one of those ways.
If there was a Democrat who did what Trump did, I’d not hesitate to enforce the law because I was afraid of the consequences.
As opposed to…blood in the streets over a four year period and then also after?
Down. Let’s fuck em up.
If they did that ud have civil war.

And then we get Vance. Joy.
NGL, I’m more scared of Vance than Trump.
Then we can bitch and moan that Vance got no votes in the primary and was anointed the presidency.
No shit?
What a pointless article. Congress won’t, shouldn’t, and likely can’t, despite what the article says.
I’m a little confused… Did you read it?
Yes!! Let’s fight facism with facism
Enforcing the law isn’t fascism. Insurrectionists aren’t permitted to hold office.
Edit to add, it’s not like President Vance would be any better.
Rich people faced with repercussions, or even accountability, is fascism to their supporters.
Can you describe how preventing trump, who participated in an insurrection, from holding office is fascist?
