WELKER: Do you believe Democrats should impeach President Trump should they take back the House? WARNOCK: Listen, Donald Trump is a crook. And he's gotta go. And the people who are enabling him, they all have to be held accountable.

1. Pass Lindsey Graham bill WITHOUT loopholes 2. Impeach Hegseth 3. Investigation into Trump insider trading 4. Release the Epstein files 5. Investigation into where the Venezuelan money & gold went 6. Investigate Trump, Witcoff, and Lutnik family members 7. Investigate Melania's citizenship

Of course turmp is a pedo-criminal, of course he should be impeached. Of course the Senate will not vote by 2/3 to remove him. He will not be removed by that route. Similarly, of course he is cognitively impaired, but his hand-picked cabinet will not 25A him. We need real solutions. Secede.

Goodness, she asks the same question over & over. Been there a million times already. Why not ask if they have a plan (and what it is) to help Americans with health care premiums, grocery costs and gas prices after the congressional Republican machine supporting POTUS is dismantled by the voters?

Well done Senator Warnock, now we have to remember to say Remove, bar from office, and hold the enablers to account. We have to make the moral, political, and legal case rather than start from the false premise that “there isn’t a reason”.

And when the police work for the criminal directly and not just accept bribes from them? It's tougher. (Friend's brother's newly-opened restaurant in Rochester NY got burned down 50 years ago, a couple days after he told the Mafia he wasn't going to pay them. Police did nothing.)

I do not know. Perhaps instead of going for the KO, Democrats should let Taco keeping trying his weak punches until he tires himself, buckles, falls to his knees and pass out into oblivion and irrelevance as the failure he is.

Impeach him, the idea of it will eat at him for the rest of his miserable life. History has to mark that this treasonous felonious piece of rot was impeached three times. He’s not going to prison, impeach his ass.

Anyone else worried about Hakeem Jeffries letting a lot of this slide? I find him to be very passive and old school. Same with Schumer. Dems need to go scorched Earth on MAGA.

I wouldn't go that far. I just think he's always been too cautious in how he deals with MAGA. He doesn't rock the boat enough, and the boat needs to be rocked. I worry he'll be a Merrick Garland redux.

They absolutely have to impeach him and add Hegseth and Blanche to that list. There's no credibility without accountability. And also, yes to having to prioritize getting the economy under control.

Yes, impeach Trump and his entire administration and the cowards in the Congress who allowed Trump to do all this. Every Republican MUST be voted out or impeached. 🌊 🌊

I'm no lawyer, but I'm pretty sure many things we've seen Donald Trump do are illegal. Congress is the only body that can hold him accountable.

Biden was a major crook. The politicians that enabled all the USAID and MN and CA fraud are crooks. Omar is a crook and a mindbendingly overt grifter. You’re a blind, unthinking minion to believe swapping political parties will improve the situation. We have one criminal class: politicians.

imagine you're a contractor that "$$ to Trump" or Noam.. or the like.. .and got a no bid contract. that was "padded".now imagine the Ds just took H maybe S - you are on the phone with your GEN COUNCIL right now. . why? (because trump told you he has no plans on loosing power.. like jim jones).

Kristen Welker at her "best." The woman who yucks it up with Stephen Miller wants to know if Democrats should impeach Trump if they win back both the House and Senate. And she works for the network that helped enabled Trump with that phony TV show for many years. Rolls eyes.

The republican party has been complicit in the trump mission of corruption and the destruction of America. It would be irresponsible and dangerous to allow the republican party to remain or participate in American government any longer.

Impeachment isn't enough - that will only (maybe) remove him from office but he won't go away. We need criminal investigations into his crypto schemes, his ballroom donors, his war crimes, his Venezuelan oil money, his "deals" with other countries and so much more. He needs to be ruined.

This needs to go beyond impeachment. All of these criminals need to be held accountable for the death and destruction they have caused the people of this country. Frankly of the entire world…

I will not disrespect the esteemed senator with my criticism, but must say that an impeachment is a waste of precious time and energy without a conviction in the senate. Hearings and indictments to a state level justice system, away from Drumps pardon power, would better serve accountability.

Well, that's not really a direct answer to the question, and neither is impeachment. Dems would need to pick up a STATISTICALLY IMPOSSIBLE 20 extra seats in the midterms for the 2/3 Senate majority to CONVICT and REMOVE. Trump FUNDRAISED off of the first two and took in over TWO MILLION BUCKS.

They were about to remove Nixon with the repugs help, when they saw the writing on the wall. Repugs will see the writing on the wall and will abandon that MF’er like yesterday’s news. Someone will tell him they have the votes or resign. The Felon is so much worse than Nixon.

That's the wild card in all of this...the level of confidence / arrogance among modern-day Republicans when it comes to "seamlessly transitioning" away from Trump. If they take a shellacking in the Midterms and think they'll skate through 2028, no. If they lose and blame Trump, it's a big "maybe."

I think if D’s get to 54 in the Senate, R’s may see the writing on the wall and join in to remove him. 2 more years is only going to make it worse for them and Trump will be focused on protecting his own skin, rather than defending GOP policy positions or their future.

If he keeps messing around, the non-maga Republicans might be game. I know they aren’t all cool with this Russia treason. We should be keeping them at arms length and listening to them. Maybe even make some compromise here and there to get them on board. Dems can’t do it alone.

Exactly right. It's much easier said than done. It truly requires a super majority in both houses to get rid of all the filth in our three branches of government, plus a pretty darn solid backbone on the current Democrats.

Totally disagree! Impeach ALL of his enablers possible. President Portapotty Prostitute doesn't have the bandwidth to do anything by himself. Once his accessories start standing trial or headed to jail, he will not get to do as much damage to the country. VOTE!!!

Trump definitely belongs in jail for every horrific thing he has done as president and has damaged our country significantly inecery possible way etc

Here's the thing that is so disappointing about the democrats. They aren't out on the campaign trails saying we will have these terrorists that took our country hostage, brought concentration camps and maga gestapo to Americas soil ARRESTED AND CHARGED FOR TREASON AND THEIR WAR CRIMES. it's not hard

Yes! Trump’s “gotta go!” The Dems could and should unite around the message Trump should be removed from power immediately. Force Vance and the Republicans to defend Trump. Assuming a big Blue wave in the midterms, the best they’ll be able to say is that the people narrowly chose him two years ago.

it's a "yes" or "no" question. and what this guy said does kind of sound like "yes", but the fact that he didn't respond with a simple and straightforward "yes" is a little concerning. sounds like he's helping build a case for "oh, well, you know, we would like to, but, you know"

He’s been impeached twice already. Lame dick for two years. Stop his vanity projects, go after his grifting cabinet, anti trust on social media platforms. We have two years to start draining the swamp so make it count

Disgusting to see Welker carrying water for MAGA. Asking about impeachment helps Republican voters to justify voting against Democrats. Since impeachment will never get 2/3 Senate to convict, they see it as a waste of time. Meanwhile, NBC is failing to cover Trump's cognitive decline. Ask JD, not Ds

So what's the strategy for convicting Trump in the Senate? If "he's gotta go" then you MUST have a plan to get enough GOP Senators on board...or he's going NOWHERE until 2029. Too many Dems are ignoring that issue and using "impeachment" as nothing more than a campaign slogan.

Asking the Senator to weigh in on an issue the House must decide (articles of impeachment) and for which the Senator would vote to impeach or convict after trial; displays the shallow analysis from MTP. Media wants headlines and gotcha moments not much else.

I agree! Trump is a criminal, an American traitor, a Russian criminal (Putin) who owns Trump. Trump needs to be in prison before he destroys America completely, and his criminal enablers also need to be dumped into prison. IMO.

Some voters always want Dems to give away the game. Democrats should never divulge their plans- especially to the press. It's better for the GOP to experience the 'shock and awe' they've been trying to administer for the last 20 years.

Just don’t think there’s all kinds of time in the world, and that a drip drip drip of hearings over MONTHS if not YEARS is what the electorate is willing to put up with Action is not known for sloth

There's one little problem with that idea. . Even if Democrats take back the House, they can vote to impeach Trump, but the Senate has the final say. If the Democrats don't take back the Senate, too . .trying to impeach will do no good. The best the House can do is put some brakes on Trump.

If it was a way to stop the war get Hegseth out of office and also L. Petal. If it was a way to stop him from pardoning all the corrupt individual who will be subpoenaed then YES.

Impeachment is a political act that has lost all meaning now. The Rs will simply retaliate when a D is in charge. And even if impeached, Trump won't be removed from office. He needs to be in a courtroom.

Jumping into office and immediately doing a bunch of political theater that ultimately holds no one responsible is not really the best use of Congress's time. Far better to pass the bills most Americans want and Trump then must choose between popularity or continuing his stupidity with vetoes.

If he chooses poorly like always, eventually he'll be so emasculated from constantly and publicly vetoing bills supported by most Americans to bring prices down and stop unnecessary wars, moderate Republicans will consider Vance a better alternative, and THEN impeach him because they can Remove him.

Punishment for Trump's criminality, sure. Restitution for the American people, an added benefit. But it must be done as a deterrent to the next would-be grifter President.

No. Including his salary. He needs every last dollar removed from everything in his life. ALL his business properties seized. That's just the start.

We deserve justice. Now.

DBdant@dbdant.bsky.social

We deserve justice. 1. Presidential Crimes Commission to gather evidence of crimes committed by admin members under presidential direction, and by Trump outside of his 'official' duties immunity. 2. Constitutional Crimes Tribunal to adjudicate appropriate punishment for the crimes. /1 of 3

Why outside his salary? He has countless times said he takds no salary and gives it all to charity. So make damn sure that has happened to.

Yes! No equivocation from Rep Warnock, unlike Hakeem Jeffries and other kumbaya democrats who WILL sell us out for the corporate cash grab.

I can barely even LOOK at Welker. She’s a little too eager to play Devil’s Advocate. Should they?! Nah, we’ll just let him keep the crime wave going. Just let him toss away neighbors, money and allies like so much confetti. Selling off democracy one segment at a time. Cheap.💀

Even if conviction/removal is unlikely (requires 2/3 Senate vote) impeachment is important. It will be yet another stain on the Trump/MAGA legacy, it will put the details of many Trump crimes into the public record, and it will force many of his criminal co-conspirators to testify under oath.

Yes it is. You don’t stop doing the right thing just because it isn’t going to end the way you want. Thats what ethics require. History will be better for it and those who stood in the way will rightly be shunned

Will they? It worked out so well before. It’s clear they will be hauling ppl before congress and investigating. When they compile the evidence, there will be a choice of impeachment or DOJ or both — if there’s no majority or no 67 Guilty votes in the Senate, he just goes on feeling more invincible

It's not just about Democrats impeaching Trump, it should be about any decent law abiding person in Congress wanting to impeach him. Notice how the MSM always frames these questions as Dem vs. GOP questions. #PatheticallyOwned

So our of all the people guilty violating 18 US Code 1091(c)(d) and who are in standing violation of the Leahy Amendment, who you voted for because you earnestly believe "some kinds of people don't matter," which one do you think will spearhead the case against Trump?

The Dems’ communications issue should really be fixed at this point. They meet, have calls, staff has meetings— they should be able to coordinate a message: “he deserves to be impeached, and more, but we need to have 2/3 of the Senate for it to be an effective effort. We will investigate and…

…compile the evidence for sure, but if we don’t have 67 persuadable Senators we have important work that has to get done and the evidence will be there for everyone to face a restored DOJ”

At least make that asshole and all his corrupt appointees testify, publicly, in front of Congress. Get those pricks on the record.

Yeah, Il Douche isn't the issue - it's all the people around him. Let's crucify Hegseth, Bessent, and everyone around him first before we lock him in a pillory on the National Mall.

There are voters who hate the idea of it, hate the idea of Dems focusing on it. They were burned twice before when the cases were clear cut. So especially before the election, you don’t want to antagonize these pockets of voters Ds need. And also not antagonize voters who are demanding it

Whew…man I don’t know if you’re paying any attention, but being worried about “antagonizing” certain people instead of just standing on principle and doing what’s right is what has gotten us here.

Can we please include dramatically ripping his name off everything, eliminating those Trump coins, discontinue Trump passports, fix Biden’s photo in the WH, replant trees on the Potomac course, rebuild the East Wing WITHOUT a fucking ballroom.

But we really need to go HARD at Blanche for those Epstein files. At this point he is aiding and abetting at the very least. He needs to be forced to register as a sex offender and go to jail…in general population. I’m sure the inmates will be kind to him 😈

It will be fun to watch republicans struggle to defend trump during the open presidential primaries for both parties next year, especially if he’s impeached. While Democrats presidential contenders are debating policies to help people, republicans will be stuck like crap on the bottom of trumps shoe

But first, the corrupt justices in the US Supreme Court need to be made accountable. How? America will have to figure this out. Just because it's never been done doesn't mean it can't be. If you were capable of installing the bozo Donald Trump twice into your White House, anything is possible!

Impeachment starts in the House. That’s why Republicans are spending millions to defend seats Trump won by double digits. November 3 decides whether Congress checks this president or keeps looking away.

The SOONER the better… 😳 bsky.app/profile/hope...

Dr. Bandy Lee with Dr. Henry Abraham “…one of the 36 signatories and stepped up as spokesperson for the Statement of Medical Concerns, now on the Congressional Record, urging the president’s removal from office for medical reasons.” youtu.be/bmc6chPYSLk?...

I know Trump is on the way out and that many of those who supported him are regretting they voted for him. What I want to know is where are they with Vance, and Don Jr., or whoever trots to his rescue in 2028? Getting through the debacle is one thing. Making sure it doesn't happen again is another

If only it were that simple. He deserves it, he should be removed and thrown in jail for treason, but unless there’s 67 Senators who will convict it only feeds his delusion and appearance of invincibility (and our frustrations)

Yeah, it’s our turn for retribution and this time there were actually crimes committed instead of some bullshit made up crap that the Republicans do

Yes impeachment and then prosecution and then straight to jail. The felon rapist Don is also guilty of treason.

Makes no sense to impeach him in the House, if there are not enough votes to remove him in the Senate....and it takes a 2/3 majority vote in the Senate to do that. He has been impeached already, 2 times, but not removed. Look what that has gotten us. He needs to be REMOVED!
