The Trump administration and Republicans will just ignore you.

Please be specific.

from power?”

where their "impeachment" comes from the single "National Assembly" and is agreed to or rejected by their judiciary.

In our case, the impeachment has been successful in one part of our bicameral legislative branch, but the "conviction" must come from the OTHER part - the Senate - and with a high threshold of votes needed to carry out.

I was not aware of this law. Are any Republicans joining this demand?

. . . if I do not hold me breath for the release.

And if they don't who goes to jail ?

Go to court? But that decision will be appealed. Then that decision will be appealed to the Supreme Court. By then we’ll have forgotten all about Epstein because we’ll be knee deep in another scandal.

Wash, rinse, and repeat.

... can't understand why everyone hates their guts. With the exception, of course, of those sorry-ass fools that were carved out of the same turd as they were. Ain't NO hope for them.

If we have to we'll issue another sternly written letter!!

"The US isn't operating under statesmanship, or rules or laws anymore so lets stop pretending that invoking the law will work" column. We're still waiting for Perry, Jim Jordan, Biggs and McCarthy to be held responsible for disobeying their subpoenas. * This is a cute gesture by Schumer et. al., but ultimately useless.



* I look forward to eating crow if I'm proved wrong.

Something likely to work?

Hire a bunch of Gen X and Zers to flood social media with memes and videos. Us the algorithms to our advantage. The right wing owns most of the legacy media so you won't get a lot done there. But the online world is still the wild west and exploitable.

You're saying a bunch of young people saying things on the internet is a suggestion that would work better than the Schumer gambit? To get the Epstein files released? Or something else? Have Trump removed? With memes? Isn't it safe to say there are already young people messaging and memeing? I'm as desperate as the next guy for a solution to this mess but I'm sorry, this idea seems to lack some details to truly become an "idea that would work."

It's a start. Ultimately, we need a full fledged media blitz for the next few years on all platforms to regain support and guide the narrative. It's time for the old guard to let the young people take over messaging. Case in point, Biden did a lot of great things in his 4 years. Unfortunately, outside of political circles, most people don't know it.

Trump et. al. tend to suck the air out of the room. But with Epstein we finally have a winning hand. The "Schumer gambit" might look good to old school pols but does little to win support in the long run. We need a new path forward.

I could go on but Pete sums it up...

Unless you and the others unfairly criticizing Schumer's actions in this thread plan to launch your own insurrection and oust Trump and his MAGAts by force, this is what resistance to this administration will look like until we, the voters, elect more Democrats and empower them to take more substantive action.

SOME of us told those naysayers back in 2016 and 2024 that this would be the outcome -- but they didn't listen. And now the same ones that made excuses for not fully and wholeheartedly supporting and voting for Democrats in those two consequential elections are now upset that Democrats aren't doing more to stop Trump and his Republicans -- when they gave them virtually no power to do so.

While our team is invoking ineffective rarely used rules, the MAGAts have taken control of the 4th estate and the narrative.

There are other ways to resist beyond insurrection or waiting for the midterms. Our team would do well to hire a slew of Gen Zers to flood social media with content.

And corporate media has had its whole ass exposed as being thoroughly in the tank for Republicans over the past year or so. Even institutions once viewed as reputable and relatively non-partisan (e.g., The Washington Post) have been COMPLETELY exposed as rightwing shills.

The only way to fight back against this bias is for those that stand with Democrats to start attacking the media and other propaganda pushers rather than constantly criticizing our strong Democratic elected officials, the vast majority of which are doing the best they can with the very limited power the voters have granted them.
