MS NOW: Senator Markey calling for impeachment over "Slush Fund"

[sheshe2]

Watching it live.

My Senator, who, BTW is 79 years old.

Thank you Senator! 💙💙💙

1. The first sane thing I've heard in response to this ridiculous slush fund

[Cha]

10. Right? Impeach the MF.

[bucolic_frolic]

2. It's a jaw dropping idea to reward criminals

I've got to think it's a bone thrown to Congressional GOP - an opportunity to oppose Trump and appear reasonable. Trump has no capital to lose, those running for office have a severe credibility problem, this will give them a bounce if they oppose it.

[MadLinguist]

3. Nah. The Fuqqwad would never agree to public losing

Even if it were only symbolic. And he wants his own private army even less accountable than ICE

[ShazzieB]

22. Hard agree.

Schlump would NEVER go along with something like that. Especially now, when he's even more irrational and more obsessed with his own "greatnesss" than ever before.

[sheshe2]

7. Don't forget this...

For two years, Mike Johnson refused to hang the plaque on the wall honoring police officers who defended the Capitol on J6 against a mob of violent rioters, even though a law was passed to mandate it.

But he supports paying over a billion dollars to the criminal rioters.

4. Good

[Uncle Joe]

5. Kicked and recommended

Thanks for the thread sheshe

[PufPuf23]

6. Add making payments to individuals that were convicted or plea bargained crimes of Jan 6

to the impeachment list.

Trump and Jan 6 participants should have been still in prison including those that planned or provided funding.

This scenario is bizarre. Trump settles a lawsuit with the IRS that includes immunity for him and his family for ay IRS crimes. Then is given $1.7 billion to disperse to the Jan 6 perps that received legal or other justice. Makes my head hurt.

Good for Senator Markey.

[Fla Dem]

8. WTG Senator Markey.

[Cha]

9. Mahalo Sen. Markey! Bring attention

to that PEDO Nazi's fucking "sllush fund" to pay off Treasonous Domestic Terrorists.

Thanks, she

[sheshe2]

13. Thanks Cha!

I was happy to hear that there is some pushback from the 'puke side. I wonder how long that will last. 🤔

[Cha]

17. It should last forever as long as PEDO

Nazi is fucking with our Democracy.

[sheshe2]

18. I sure hope it lasts, Cha.

[dalton99a]

11. Kick

12. Comparing the 79 year old Ed Markey to the 79 year old Donald Trump.

I know which one I would prefer to be President and which one belongs in a padded cell..

[Nanjeanne]

14. Good because the messaging I keep hearing from others make it seem like the problem with

the taxpayer funded slush fund is that convicted Jan 6 felons shouldnt get taxpayer money. That’s a bad message as it makes it seem like if they are excluded it’s not a problem. The message needs to be on NO TAXPAYER funded stash is available to ANYONE. If someone has a beef against the Biden DOJ they should file a lawsuit and pursue a claim in the courts. The idea that you can make this ok by excluding the Jan 6 terrorists is not the message.

[Warpy]

15. I don't honestly care what gets him out of office

before 4 years are up as long as something does.

[wiggs]

16. OF COURSE! A deranged public official discovered as many loopholes as he could to enrich himself and

his friends.

Ransacking the country, legal or not, is impeachable

[thesquanderer]

19. I assume you can't impeach over what someone says they intend to do,

so I'm guessing that Markey is calling for him to be impeached if it actually happens...?

[thought crime]

20. Todd Blanche signed off on the deal.

Naturally, Trump claims he has nothing to do with it. It's just a deal between his own lawyers and the acting AG, who is also his personal lawyer.

Total corruption, abuse of power, whatever you want to call it. It's impeachable if it gets enough votes.

[Be The Light]

21. lets see

He was already impeached twice. And what happened about that, what was the
punishment for the attempted coup? Nada, zilch.

[sheshe2]

25. Of course he won't be removed, the 'Republicons' are cowards.

At least we are trying to do something. However, I will be happy to see the bastard humiliated for being impeached not once, not twice but 3 F**KING times! He will go ballistic and I sure hope the stress and strain is too much for him to handle.

[FakeNoose]

27. Well, there are a few lame ducks in the Senate that no longer fear Chump

Mitch McConnell is one, and he still pulled weight with other Repukes in the last impeachment vote. If Chump gets a 3rd impeachment trial, I believe he would finally be convicted and removed from office. It has never happened before so we would be swimming in some scary waters if it gets to that.

However it's scary knowing Chump is still holding onto power (plus all the grift) after all the damage he has already done so far. I believe the US Congress (mainly the Senate) needs to pull up their big-boy pants and get this done.

23. Sen. Markey is a dynamo, a real fighter.

[sheshe2]

24. Yes, he is.

He and Sen Warren make a great team.

[walkingman]

26. Impeach him!!

[vapor2]

28. 14th amendment!
