Don't threaten us with a good time

u/BlackberryShoddy7889 1d ago

After Iran failure and economic crisis I’m ready for a little pick me up.

u/Afelisk2 1d ago

I'm ready for anything that doesn't make me need to check what new food was recalled today

u/zx9lover 13h ago

Are food recalls Trumps fault?

u/Afelisk2 12h ago

Unfortunately to a point.

He put Elon in charge of DOGE or what ever it was called and they did a lot of budget cuts. Because a lot of those we had people taken out of food and safety and a lot of other areas that, at the time didn't seem super important.

But once they were needed a bunch of systems fell apart, look food inspections and the team who was keeping an eye on screw flies.

Now those shortened teams are now struggling to do there jobs and what ever slips past them we find with bodies.

u/zx9lover 12h ago

You do understand that 95% of DOGE cuts are still in courts and where never implemented.

u/stalkthewizard 11h ago

Tell that to the US Forest Service. They got hit hard.

u/zx9lover 11h ago

You mean the one that Califonia, Colorado and Washing ty on state stopped funding and building fire breaks. You mean that one? It hasn't been defunded, Congress has to vote in that and a vote hasn't been taken.

u/Bubbly-Lemon4702 23h ago

Im ready for a little string em up.

u/CollectionProof6064 18h ago

What iran failure and economic disaster

u/Synergiance 1d ago

Just make sure to vote

u/ActualHumanONReddit 1d ago

Vote in person.

u/StressFantastic5317 1d ago

In my household we get mail in ballots but making sure to drop them personally into the ballot box this year

u/ActualHumanONReddit 1d ago

Another good idea. We can do the same here. They accept the mail in ballots at the voting centers.

u/StressFantastic5317 19h ago

Also, ppl can sign up to get confirmation by email that their ballot was indeed received & recorded by the county clerks office.

u/ActualHumanONReddit 12h ago

Our state does that as well. There would be no way for Trump and his minions to get away with throwing ballots away and not delivering them in my state.

u/zx9lover 13h ago

If you can drop your ballot off you can vote in person.

u/StressFantastic5317 10h ago

Yes you are absolutely correct. However I choose to vote at home at my convenience. Then go to my polling location and without having to wait in line (if any) drop it in the ballot box. Usually I just mail it back without any concerns but I am wary of the USPS this election.

u/zx9lover 10h ago

Just think, you wouldnt have to be wary of we had election integrity.

u/Blatantly_Truthful 1d ago

Check your polling station in advance.

u/StressFantastic5317 1d ago

No need. I've run a polling location before. No need to wait in line just let them know "dropping off mail in ballot"

u/Blatantly_Truthful 1d ago

In some states they’ve drastically reduced the number of polling stations or switched which polling station you’re assigned to. People shouldn’t just assume it’s where they voted last time.

u/StressFantastic5317 1d ago

Yes. You are 💯

u/Smooth-Cup180 19h ago

There’s every need to make sure of everything in the country we live in now.

u/StressFantastic5317 19h ago

I know the sun sets in the west & will rise the next day in the east. So No, not everything

u/redrover02 1d ago

If US companies had any balls they would make Election Day a company holiday.

u/Synergiance 20h ago

If us politicians had any balls they would make Election Day a national holiday and make it illegal to make people go into work that day

u/lydianchrome 17h ago

All employers have to give employees time to vote, its the law

u/Synergiance 16h ago

Should be the whole day, 1, and 2, it isn’t enforced as well as it should be.

u/zx9lover 13h ago

Vote Red or the country is dead.

u/Synergiance 11h ago

Country is currently in red territory. You sure about that?

u/zx9lover 11h ago

Blue will usher in socialism and allow Islam to take over just look at the DSA wing of the Democrat party

u/js9272 1d ago

Came here to say this

u/Charlierg50 1d ago

Swear to god I was gonna say the exact same thing word for word 💯

u/djdaem0n 1d ago

I mean, the Democrats won't do it because the majority of them are cowards. But it's nice to dream.

u/EarthlostSpace 1d ago

Along with being compromised too.

u/djdaem0n 1d ago

They are going to come out with a statement talking about how they can't punish Trump or any of his people or the ICE agents because "America needs to heal and move on". They've literally done this hundreds of times before. I heard it all after GWB. Cowards, all of them.

u/EarthlostSpace 1d ago

I 100% concur. Time to primary those who are the cowards out of office.

u/djdaem0n 1d ago

The one time they'll actually fight, spend money, and sling mud, is to defeat primary challengers from people more left than them. They care more about that then defeating Republicans. So be prepared to dig in.

u/BadAsBroccoli 1d ago

Well, voting applies to them too. We don't have to keep the same Democrats either.

https://giphy.com/gifs/QVP7DawXZitKYg3AX5

u/djdaem0n 1d ago

The party doesn't agree. So you and everyone who wants a sea change needs to show up. Every time.

u/Ok_Valuable9450 1d ago

But democrats aren't raping the country and getting richer by the billions

u/djdaem0n 1d ago

They just let it happen, change nothing when they get power, and use the misery as a campaign stump.

u/designer_in_cheif 13h ago

Democrats are raping the country? What about the guy in the White House who won’t let the Epstein files be released? I know of a president who is guarding ‘the files’ from being released!

u/Naltors__Dreamer 1d ago

Given there isn’t a chance in hell they’d get a conviction in the Senate, an impeachment is just a waste of time. Dems were brave enough to impeach him TWICE, & even after J6 Republicans still wouldn’t convict, Dump still won again & the impeachments became a rallying cry that motivated MAGA.

I say leave sleeping dogs lie, investigations will accomplish the same thing as an impeachment, throw a monkey wrench into the Dump Train. Let MAGA continue being so disappointed in Dump they no longer wish to vote, let’s not give them a reason to re-engage & let them sit home for 2028. The census is coming up, we really need a Dem Pres in 2030.

u/BlueH2oDiver 1d ago

State governments give their employees an Election Day holiday but public businesses do not. A business is not a democracy.

u/Smooth-Cup180 19h ago

Go ahead and focus on Democrats and once again you’ll ensure the Republicans win out 🤡 but you’ll have your principles to console you

u/AcceptableWindow4656 12h ago

Haha, exactly! They really thought that was supposed to scare us. 😂

u/watchedngnl 1d ago

Btw Dems cannot remove trump. They won't have 2/3 even in the best if projections.

u/turandokht 1d ago

Didn’t they impeach Trump in his first term and then literally nothing happened? Twice? Why should I or anyone believe that impeaching him this time is some kind of consequence? I don’t get how this is suddenly some scary thing for conservatives to worry about. Being impeached twice didn’t prevent him from finishing his term and it didn’t prevent him from becoming president again.

So what the hell kind of threat is it, anymore?

u/Kraftwerk_21 1d ago

When Congress impeached him, it was only on paper, or symbolical. To actually remove him from office the Senate has to vote to impeach with a 2/3 majority. The Dems will probably get control of the Senate, but it won’t be a big enough majority. That means they will have to convince some of the Reps to get 2/3.

u/reddfoxx1993 1d ago

Maybe Republitards will be ready to jettison Donnie the Grifter.

u/Aggravating-Gate8865 1d ago

Don’t get your hopes up ; they don’t like Trump but they like Dems less.

u/RedFoxxEsq 1d ago

Or, they eliminate the filibuster.

u/OldBuzzard74 1d ago

The Filibuster has nothing to do with Impeachment. 70 Senators have to vote for conviction

u/RedFoxxEsq 1d ago

Impeaching the president

Impeaching the president (from Bing, Google, and ChatGPT):

Eliminating the filibuster would significantly impact the impeachment process of the president. Without the filibuster, the Senate could vote on the impeachment resolution with a simple majority, which could lead to quicker resolutions and potentially quicker removal of the president from office. This change would also affect the confirmation of judicial and executive nominees, as it would allow for faster confirmations without the procedural delays that the filibuster typically imposes. However, it would not guarantee that confirmations would be less contentious, as the political context and strategy of the minority party could still influence the process.

u/RedFoxxEsq 1d ago

Oops - just realized you are a 6 month old account with 3M+ posts and no karma. Bye-bye bot.

u/LA-Matt 1d ago

67 votes in the Senate are required to convict and remove the President. The filibuster has nothing to do with it.

Impeachment and conviction/removal are specifically defined in the Constitution. A two-thirds vote in the Senate is required.

The US Constitution: Article 1, section 3, clauses 6 and 7.

u/Whyme-notyou 1d ago

You are correct. It’s a pipe dream folks. We just have to wait for him to expire. What we should be doing is going after the fucktards who voted for him twice, those are the people who owe the us and the rest of the world an apology.

u/RoyalMaidsForLife 1d ago

Twice, they tried to do it after J6 and even that wasn't enough to convince his lackeys on the Hill to permanently remove him from ever possibly holding office again.

u/TheGreatVandoly 1d ago

Only one thing is gonna stop his reign. Not violence though! Definitely not that!

u/Aggravating-Gate8865 1d ago

They are hoping you were struck down by a bout of amnesia or fell on your noggin

u/Ok_Dust_7325 13h ago

Because the senate didn’t have enough votes to remove him. Even though a few republicans voted for conviction it wasn’t enough votes.

u/Potential-Win8706 1d ago

Trump can’t run for a 3rd term. I’m sure that will free up a few senator cucks into growing one ball. One.

u/CruisingForDownVotes 1d ago

If he’s still alive, he’ll run again. His cronies on the supreme court will make it legal. Somehow

u/Green-Inkling 1d ago

Not that the votes even matter. Trump has ignored all votes and laws around it. Dems could sweep but if trump says "nuh uh" what are dems gonna do about it?

u/GypsyDarkEyes 1d ago

We'll see. Dems also have to offer us a leader. Not enough to say "we're not maga."

u/E_seven_20 1d ago

When you look at the historical midterm turnout…they have nothing to worry about.

2022 National Youth Turnout: 23% - That's lower than in the historic 2018 cycle (28%) which broke records for turnout, but much higher than in 2014, when only 13% of youth voted.

That’s with less than 60% of 18-29 registered.

Y’all just stood aside, and let them win. Politics will always be imperfect. If you’re too stupid to vote against evil, and people getting their lives ruined…you’re not making the moral decision. You’re just not asshole like the red hat people.

u/Smooth-Cup180 19h ago

And then they’ll bitch and moan until the next election when once again they won’t show up

u/gerbosan 1d ago

I would love to but... Will democrats really impeach and condemn Trump and cronies? As far as I heard, there very few.

u/Successful-Name-7261 1d ago

Threats...nothing more.

u/Battle44Sis 1d ago

Exactly

u/MechMan799 1d ago

Having faith that the US will punish anyone, considering Jan 6th, is laughable.

A strongly worded statement. That'll teach em.

u/Smooth-Cup180 19h ago

A lot of people were convicted after Jan 6. I guess you’ve forgotten that or that Trump then pardoned them all.

u/MechMan799 18h ago

Common peons jailed. Pawns. And then pardoned.

u/CaptainBlotto 17h ago

Beat me to it. 100%

u/Useful-Preparation91 1d ago

Impeaching mfers isn't solving the inflation crisis and defunding ICE will never solve the jobs crisis

u/Indespectamentations 1d ago

Plenty of leftover jobs that the immigrants are no longer working like on farms. Farmers can't get anyone to help them. Maybe you fascists should go work those jobs so you can show your patriotism and support for your Permanent King.
