Rules:

1. Be civil


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.


2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.


Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.


5. Only recent news is allowed.


Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.


6. All posts must be news articles.


No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.


7. No duplicate posts.


If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.


8. Misinformation is prohibited.


Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.


9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.


All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.


10. Don't copy entire article in your post body


For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Wtf kinda answer is this? Trump already invaded Venezuela, kidnapped the president, and no one did anything. Lindsay Graham couldn't stop drooling over that oil.

Could, but wouldn't. The republicans suck sHitler's dick.

[–] adespoton@lemmy.ca 47 points 1 month ago

They could also impeach Trump if U.S. invades Venezuela.

[–] iamthetot@piefed.ca 38 points 1 month ago (1 children)

They could also impeach him for any of the numerous impeachabke offenses he's already done.

[–] logicbomb@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago

If there were any justice, they'd impeach and convict Trump for raping a child. And that would be the only thing non-historians would know about him in the future. That he was a pedophile who was removed from office when they learned that he had raped young children in the past.

[–] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 36 points 1 month ago

You should've impeached him over Venezuela.

And about 5 more reasons each week since this time last year.

But you don't. And instead you send the message that this is okay, and the American people agree with it.

It's not okay. We do not consent.

[–] ThePowerOfGeek@lemmy.world 33 points 1 month ago

They could. But they won't.

[–] crusa187@lemmy.ml 29 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Impeachment doesn’t mean shit unless you remove the childfucker from office for his many wrongdoings.

This is just repugnantcons further muddying the waters, weakening our institutions, and sanewashing the trump regime’s many other criminal acts.

[–] Insekticus@aussie.zone 15 points 1 month ago (2 children)

If a democrat did anything that Dump had done in the last decade, there'd be blood on the streets. The Republicunts are the most hypocritical scum in existence.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

There are no Republicans any more. That was their larval stage before their final form - MAGA.

When this is all over, they aren't going to be able normalize their past by claiming they were always Republicans, not MAGA.

They're ALL MAGA now, no matter what they say.

Not sure what impeachment actually does at this point. He's already been impeached twice and I know of no consequences for those.

[–] ShaggySnacks@lemmy.myserv.one 16 points 1 month ago

Trumpie has been impeached twice, convicted several different times, charged with other offences, and more. Yet Trumpie was never truly punished for his behaviour. All this mounted too was some serious finger waving at Trumpie.

[–] GlassHalfHopeful@lemmy.ca 24 points 1 month ago

Sure you will.

You could now.

But you won't.

Talk talk talk blab blab blab.

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 20 points 1 month ago

How about doing this before he breaks up NATO?

[–] humanoftheinternet@lemmy.world 18 points 1 month ago

They could! But only after he invades Greenland.

[–] bdonvr@thelemmy.club 17 points 1 month ago

Bruh stfu that term hasn't carried any weight since he's first impeachment where exactly nothing came of it. Nobody cares.

[–] gravitas_deficiency@sh.itjust.works 17 points 1 month ago (1 children)

If we do end up annexing Greenland, I expect those fully automated motorized goalposts will be moving at great speed before the effort even kicks off.

[–] AbidanYre@lemmy.world 15 points 1 month ago

They could, but they won't.

[–] azimir@lemmy.ml 13 points 1 month ago

Rep. Don Bacon is a wanker. Shit or get off the pot. This wannabe dictator is threatening to shut down elections and post soldiers to US cities that aren't actually in need of it. Do your job and stop flapping your mouth, wanker.

[–] tidderuuf@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago

Of course Republicans will impeach after U.S. invades Greenland. Because we will be in the middle of a war with NATO and Putin will just swipe in to take over whatever's left standing.

The GOP really are useful idiots.

[–] FreddiesLantern@leminal.space 11 points 1 month ago

“They say we could impeach him ✋🤚tremendously 👐. People say a lot of things are impeachable 🍑but this one ☝️is the peachiest. I’m gonna call it a 💯perfect 👌imp🍑ment. “

Why wait? Why not be proactive about grandpa’s threats?

Yeah but they won't

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago
[–] worhui@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

Or you know make it so the military knows he needs to ask congress first. NOT wait for him to attack another nation and avoid the position.

[–] AlecSadler@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 1 month ago

Could, but won't.

[–] hateisreality@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Bullshit....he's already committed a fucking stream of impeachable offences

omg and a dove might land on my balls forcing me to write a strongly worded letter to someone who gives two shits.

seriously ?! this bullshit "oh yeah well we'll 'hurt you with processes that didn't hurt you before when we did these processes twice."

these brain dead totally dependent system suckers are the other part of the problem.

Republican, so... no you fucking won't. You'll make a stern face, while soliciting the racist freaks that are his voter base.

[–] BranBucket@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

So that's where we draw the line?

We wait until he's completely fucked overseas relations, destroyed NATO, and handed the world to China on a silver platter. Then we impeach him and say "Oops, our bad! Who knew he'd be that crazy guys? Boy, do we have egg on our face! We're all gonna laugh about this later, I promise..."

Class act. Five of five stars. Best legislature ever.

[–] TomMasz@piefed.social 6 points 1 month ago

Why wait? DO IT NOW!

[–] Zagam@piefed.social 5 points 1 month ago

Yeah, and BMW drivers could use turn signals.

Wish in one hand....

[–] formergijoe@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

...but they won't.

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Y'all should be impeaching him already.

[–] vermyndax@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

He shouldn't have even been allowed to run.

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 5 points 1 month ago

Just because they can doesn't mean they'll do Jack shit.

[–] Eryn6844@piefed.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 month ago

and why didnt you when he invaded california minnosota chicago etc..
