No? He’s done plenty of impeachable things.


Then why is he still in office?

If he did, no Democrat would win an election, but they do. We're just living in bad times right now.

Well. That “cool US Marine” is uh:

Reddit comments that say he’s a Communist and call for a violent revolution…
…whilst simultaneously reposting Bernie tweets and working for Blackwater…
…who has a Nazi tattoo, and never thought, as an amateur historian with in depth knowledge about Nazi symbols, to remove it in 20 years…
…whose own campaign team handed that information to a podcast.

Sounds to me like he hasn't committed any impeachable offenses, then. Since the House determines what is or isn't one.

Seeing Mamdani was also caught with a really anti-Gay politician in a photo, I do wonder how opportunistic these new candidates are...

Honestly getting drunk in Croatia and only coming away with a sketchy tattoo is a monumental feat in its own rite. I suppose if you squint and tilt your head to the right it does resemble a totenkopf, though if you tilt to the left it looks like the Ohio State logo. Maybe he's a buckeyes fan.

Ah democrats sabotaging a decent candidate to protect the billionaire establishment for want of a perfect candidate. Tale as old as time.

“Never believe that [fascists] are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The [fascists] have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.”

That’s the exact reason he ran for office in the first place, to enrich himself.

In other news, a cis boy has been forbidden from playing boy’s basketball due to having his sex incorrectly marked as female on his birth certificate.
