US Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (Democrat, New York) isn’t fazed by Congress’ failure to move forward with the impeachment of Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth.
From her perspective, Democrats have almost too many people to investigate once they gain control of Congress in January.
“There are so many criminals in this administration, it’s hard to figure out who should be, you know, the order of operations,” Ocasio-Cortez said in an interview with CNN’s Manu Raju on Tuesday.
“There are going to be many, many, many investigations,” she added. “I imagine many subpoenas, and we have to follow wherever the evidence takes us.”
Too bad Fungus Con can hand out pardons faster than Congress can indict his henchpeople
Ya, none of them will actually pay any really consequences. Very good argument for limiting the pardon power of the president.
Probably a better argument for making guillotines
magas will obstruct and ignore subpoenas and Dems will get blamed for not doing anything, hope I’m wrong and good luck!
Tier 1:
- affordability efforts
- universal healthcare
- end Iran war
- end military support for Israel
Tier 2:
- abolish ICE
- prosecute the corrupt
- codify body autonomy
- reform the supreme court
Tier 3:
- end Cuban blockade
- end the electoral college
This is by no means an exhaustive list, but they need to get results on Tier 1 ASAP in order to maintain progressive and MAGA turncoat votes.
Not putting SC reform in tier 1 is an immediate L
… Sorry, off topic, but why is your icon the buc-ees mascot? Those guys chug maga cock like their life depends on it.
Irony. Think punks and John Lennon rocking Mikey Mouse tees. Buc-ee’s is the height of MAGA brain rot culture. A gas station treated as some sort of cultural identity.
That said, they are great rest stops…
You can expect every lemmy.ml user to be like this
Are they big fans of gas stations over there?
They’re tankies. So they’re big fans of obvious fascism and authoritarian ideas claiming it’s basically anything else.
Meanwhile the US is evil incarnatez and absolutely everything they do is bad, without exception. Russia and China do no wrong. Even when they do the exact same things.
They’re not big fans or critical thinking over there, and aggressively ban anyone not participating in the group think.
NGL kind of wish some of these congresspeople would stfu so the criminals have less time to prepare before January.
The ones that are smart enough already started preparing as soon as the map started to go blue.
The others are too incompetent to actually hide their crimes.
Criminals are going to do what criminals do. The election results were a warning, they’ll prepare for things even if everyone was quiet about it. I say keep talking, pump up their anxiety. Get Trump pissed off more, he tends to fire people then.
I remind you that the case against Trump after his first term ended relied heavily upon classified documents secretly stored in Maralago, some of which were flushed down toilets.
The secret service communication devices and servers all got “accidentally” wiped once congress subpeona’d them.
If we give crooks time to prepare then they will successfully destroy evidence.
I agree with that point. I’m not sure legally what can be done about that with the standing Congress, as the majority aren’t going to do anything. Plus, who is in charge of implementing law enforcement? The Executive Branch.
I find it hilarious that you think Republicans do or don’t do things based on how much we talk about them doing it lmao. Very gullible thinking.
Agree. Actions not words!
Because it’s Kabuki theatre. Nothing more.
Nah
Yeah. bullshit.
Democrats should be looking at making real change:
-
Reducing Presidential powers substantially. No more pardons and vetos and executive orders.
-
Sweeping reform with new harsh anti-corruption laws.
-
Term limits for the house. two terms and done.
-
Criminalize stock trading among congress.
Fix the rot going forward…no? then they are just looking for their turn at the trough.
Agreed, although I think before angthing they need to prosecute every single person from John Roberts to every single person Trump has pardoned. Put them all in ICE holding cells like the terrorist illegal aliens they are.
Unfortunately it would take decades of non-uniparty rule to fix this so everyone under 30 can kiss their futures goodbye lol.

Jeffries represents the Epstein class. Anyone voting for him is dead to me.
Oh, no!
I wish American news would stop reporting on what Democrats MIGHT do … and just report on what they already did.
They keep pumping this endless hope fountain and its getting tiring … I’d rather hear about what was actually done rather than listening to the possibilities.
They don’t even get sworn into office until January 3, and you’re already upset that they haven’t done enough?
Until then, the present minority has essentially no power.
So, for now, they’re talking about what they plan to do once they do get the majority in Congress.
🤣 we are literally living in the onion universe
The news reports on whatever. This happens to be that whatever.
You can just, not read it?
Edit: it’s HuffPo, what are you expecting???
They’re owned by the opposition, of course you’re getting tired of it. That is the whole fucking point lol.
In both parties
You’re downvoted for this but you’re right, even though I (and probably most of the people who downvoted) assume you’re a rightwing dork.
Off the top of my head: Hailey Stevens, Schumer, Fetterman, and Jeffries are all deserving a long and litigious battle at the ICC where they are hopefully sentenced to strict punishments for being directly involved in genocide. I’d go as far to say that both Biden and Trump should be as well, which then sets a precedent for both Bush and Obama to be indicted by them as well.
And yes I’m aware about how the US feels towards the ICC, that should absolutely change too.
It’s the same dynamic as shouting all lives matter was back in the day. All lives Do matter, but that ain’t why you’re saying it right now. We see you. (edit the proverbial you, not talking about the guy I’m replying to)
It is funny to me. The comment about criminals on both side infer that the right has criminals. But I am used to idiots who ignore all my condemnation of trump and the right every time I criticize dems
Don’t take it too personally, we’re all pretty much on red alert because we don’t have a reliable information pipeline like we did in the 00s/10s for a little bit
