Wow, AG Blondi needs to be removed from office

Strong rumor with credible sourcing: DOJ has put all of public integrity line attorneys in a room and told them they have an hour for someone to choose who will sign motion to dismiss and if nobody does, they will all be fired. The nastiest strong-arming in DOJ history by a long shot.

Of course she's corrupt and cheap...

the same types of people come crawling out from under their rocks to do it all over again. "Never again" only lasts as long as the memories do.

I'll never understand the motivations of these people. It always ends badly, but unfortunately innocent people get hurt the most.

Yes I know, just as all the WWII vets are dying out, this is no coincidence.

They knew a fascist regime could not be installed while those vets were still alive and cognizant.

They knew they had to let them die out and have decades of Fox News propaganda
brainwash the next generations.

trump?

We don't have the votes in Congress, and the only alternative we have is the legal system, which is no guarantee and a very slow process.

If people could get organized to demonstrate their displeasure through mass protests it would send a very loud message, but it can't be just a one-time thing. The Civil RIghts movement should be taken a the example of how it is down, and to some degree the Viet Nam war protests. But it will still take time, and if it could allow us to retake Congress back in midterms, it might reverse what is happening.

That's never going to happen, no matter what she does.
Give the deep, and nearly equal divide in the electorate, the impeachment process is an exercise in futility.
No party is going to get that kind of majority, and you'll never get near enough Senators to cross over and vote to convict.
The impeachment process is broken, and will probably never be a viable option again.
It's all for show now.
