[u/Im_TroyMcClure]

Is this supposed to be a threat? Like does he think voters are gonna be like “I was gonna vote Democrat in the midterms but I don’t want him to investigate Biden.”

[u/tape_snake → u/Im_TroyMcClure]

Also, if he had something solid to investigate these people over, why wouldn't he just do it anyway? He's villainized these people non-stop for a decade now and sells to his base the idea of rooting out their corruption... but now that he has the power to do it, the investigations will only happen in retribution?

Trump is using the federal justice system like a weapon (oh, look, "Lawfare"!), and if his base could do surface-level critical thinking for the five seconds it would take to see it, they'd be very upset.

[u/starliteburnsbrite → u/tape_snake]

You're talking about a group of people that includes those who think Tommy Tuberville is the right guy for the US Senate. Five seconds of critical thought might literally cause an aneurysm.

[u/TaterForming → u/starliteburnsbrite]

Hey Tommy could name all three branches of government if you asked:

• Offense
• Defense
• Special Teams.

[u/alwayzstoned → u/tape_snake]

He doesn’t have anything on them. If he did, he would have used it a long time ago. He could try to manufacture something, like what he’s doing to Ilhan Omar right now.

[u/Yamza_ → u/Im_TroyMcClure]

It's kind of all he's got. On some level he knows that we all know he's trash. It's the fascist pre-school bully mentality.

[u/zeekayz → u/Yamza_]

"lock her up" helped him win his first election so he's just pulling out all the old hits.

I bet we'll hear about the wall next week in time for new caravans that are getting ready to spawn at the border.

[u/LightboxRadMD → u/Yamza_]

As a democrat, like, okay? Please do investigate if there are legitimate crimes. Clinton was a decent president but absolutely a sleazeball. I care more about justice than any particular politician. I would just have to take the 20 ft Biden flags off my lifted truck. Oh wait...

[u/IDOWNVOTERUSSIANS → u/LightboxRadMD]

if there are legit crimes, these are absolutely not the people you want investigating. On one hand, they're more interested in power than justice, so any legitimate guilt simply becomes leverage; and on the other hand, they're so incompetent that they'd mishandle the investigation and get the whole thing thrown out. Either way, no justice is achieved.

[u/oldpasswordforgot → u/LightboxRadMD]

but absolutely a sleazeball.

Let's not repeat team (R) buzz-phrases. Bill Clinton was a skirt chaser like quite a few POTUS before him (and after him), he could be arrogant, pissing enough elected democrats that some got back to him by voting to impeach, lacked judgement re. monica lewinsky (it would have remained a secret had she not started bragging about her affair with him after she was transferred to the Pentagon around '96), but he doesn't deserve to be lumped with the likes of trump.

The guy was definitively not perfect (still isn't), but let's not exaggerate his failings. No one, not even saint bernie would come out smelling like roses if they got dragged through the mud like the Clintons were by team (R). They truly went out of their way to humiliate him, to make him look as bad as possible. To this day, they still want their revenge for nixon and Clinton was the closest they ever got to it. That's why they still periodically go after him and keep spreading stories about him and his family.

[u/MechanicalTurkish → u/LightboxRadMD]

They’ve been investigating the Clintons for over 30 years. All they got was Slick Willie lying about a blowjob.

[u/GatewayArcher → u/Im_TroyMcClure]

He may be hoping that Clinton, Obama, & Biden will use their influence to discourage Dem leadership from initiating impeachment.

Frankly I think he’s full of it. I don’t believe he has any info of their criminality, he’s just bluffing & threatening like he’s done countless times with Iran. And if he actually had any such information, there’s no way he’s wouldn’t have released it “out of respect for the presidency.” He’s got a picture of an autopen for Biden in the WH. He’s got no respect for the presidency.

[u/Ralod → u/GatewayArcher]

I'd love to see the DOJ go after clinton for epstien stuff. I dont think he would be convicted of anything, but the discovery on a case like that would backfire so hard on trump.

[u/Gummyrabbit → u/Im_TroyMcClure]

It wasn't like he was gifted with intelligence.

[u/Kelsier420]

Trump is the worst President in American history. Sadly he is supported by millions of brainwashed morons the dumbest of the dumb.

[u/Dull_Job_6372 → u/Kelsier420]

Bar none, it’s not close trump is the worst American ever.

[u/MCul0 → u/Dull_Job_6372]

Benedict Arnold might be dethroned??!?

[u/gmen6981 → u/MCul0]

Prior to becoming a traitor, Benedict Arnold was a hero having been instrumental in the capture of Fort Ticonderoga, leading the American forces in the Battle of Saratoga and several other campaigns. He was considered one of the American's best and most ferocious commanders. Although treason is treason and Arnold was without a doubt a traitor for planning on turning West Point over to the British, he had a somewhat legitimate beef with the Continental Congress that led him to switch sides. Trump got nuthin'

[u/zyzzogeton → u/gmen6981]

BA was also a competent general with an education. Look at his letter explaining his treason and ask yourself if Trump could ever read anything like this, much less write it

[u/SanctimoniousSally → u/zyzzogeton]

That's super interesting. Thanks for sharing!

[u/TheBelicia → u/gmen6981]

Shoot Arnold's actions at Saratoga were so respected they built a monument to the leg he lost but omitted his name from the inscription.

[u/Dudge → u/TheBelicia]

I mean, seems fair to the leg. After all, it didn't change sides .

[u/Some_Ebb_2921 → u/Dudge]

Without the leg, he was pushed to the other side more easy.

[u/TaterForming → u/TheBelicia]

"This statue's commemorates he that had this Leg. Thank you leg for helping the individual do the things he did here".

[u/jd807 → u/TaterForming]

It’s a major award!

[u/acEightyThrees → u/MCul0]

Benedict's actual impact was pretty small. His plan to surrender that fort didn't work, and when he switched sides he only led a couple minor raids. Plus, the outrage of his defection united the colonies even more.

Trump is actively bringing on the collapse of American hegemony and the fall of America as the leader of the free world. In addition, the US Aid cuts that Elon did on behalf of Trump have led to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people already.

[u/PrimeToro → u/acEightyThrees]

Plus Benedict Arnold was actually a brave and courageous general for the continental army of George Washington, who risked his life and was almost killed in a couple of battles.

He only turned traitor after repeatedly being mistreated by the continental congress . Even then, after he was broke , it took a bad marriage to the wrong woman to get him to become a traitor.

Trump willingly decided to become a traitor.

Benedict Arnold was still a traitor but Trump is much worse than him.

[u/FaceDeer → u/PrimeToro]

And if nothing else, Benedict Arnold was a traitor for some particular cause. To the British he was a loyalist who risked a lot for their benefit.

Trump cares about nothing except his own personal benefit, and for that matter only his personal benefit in the immediate here-and-now short term. He wants what benefits Trump right here, right now, with no other care or interest beyond that.

I'd find him to be an implausible caricature if he were a fictional character.

[u/ratpH1nk → u/MCul0]

I hope this is the level at which he is remembered because aside from dumb wars and not supporting/alienating allies he has ZERO signature items to be remembered for that isn’t scandalous

[u/wastingtoomuchthyme → u/Kelsier420]

This has been a war and Trump has been Russia's greatest asset since the '80's. He was the conduit to launder massive amounts of money and compromise the GOP, scotus some dems and others on orders from Russia. Using a combination of bribery, blackmail and credible threats of violence, Russia has effectively dismantled the United States without firing a shot..

[u/BigStoneFucker → u/wastingtoomuchthyme]

We aren't dismantled we're just getting our asses ripped off and going to be paying for it for years and years but they're about to get the ass kicked in a couple of weeks

[u/wastingtoomuchthyme → u/BigStoneFucker]

Trump has been damaging every US institution since being placed in power.. US government agencies are all being run by corrupt loyalists and each of these loyalists have caused nearly irreparable damage to the agency.. DOJ DOD etc are all run by performative dipshits who are actively working to destroy their credibility.. why is the US attorney going to Russia? Why did Pete fire all the military leaders?

The goal is to destroy US soft power and influence and world standing .. who benefits?

Putin and his boss. Xi..

[u/unkyduck → u/Kelsier420]

Hilariously, many think he’s the best ever. Seriously! What is wrong with these people?

[u/Ok_Lettuce_7939 → u/unkyduck]

They just revealed how shitty America really is, all along. I was once a proud American until the voting plurality of them decided a pedophile rapist convicted felon was the best person to hold the highest office in the land. It really "woke" me up to how awful America has become. But it didn't happen overnight. Started with the recision of the Fairness Doctrine and super charged with Russian Info Ops backing rightwing MAGA influencers and negatively impacting the overall political process itself. In a way, I congratulate the Neo-Soviet Union under Tsar Putin for defeating the US without firing a single shot. Thanks to Trump he has destroyed the US economy, US military, and our system of stable alliances, the very things the USSR needed to do to win the Cold War.

[u/Bean916 → u/Ok_Lettuce_7939]

Don’t forget Citizens United

[u/EntrepreneurTop5670 → u/Bean916]

Yes, the SCOTUS (the corrupt Republican members) fucked the country with the Citizens United ruling then went on to, incredibly, rule that Trump - a corrupt, insane, traitor is above the law!

[u/Billazilla → u/unkyduck]

Generational indoctrination and a cult-based crusade against public education, all in the (hidden) name of greed.

[u/pyramidsindust → u/unkyduck]

The deteriorating of public schools

[u/Goons2JAV → u/Kelsier420]

A lot of his loudest supporters online are fake propaganda accounts, and he and Elon cheated to win the election. He does have a lot of brainwashed supporters but not nearly enough to win an election legitimately.

[u/zaxo666 → u/Goons2JAV]

This is why the bot farms are so important to Trump and Musk... They give the perception much more support than actually exists.

I'm convinced Musk stole the election for him something to do with his internet satellites.

As his reward Trump gave him access to all of America's data.

Then they had a fake fight called each other some names, Musk disappears until reappealing just last week just in time to help steal another election.

[u/hivemindhauser → u/zaxo666]

Yeah I don't believe he has 30% support still. Very easy to skew poll numbers with not farms

[u/guy-le-doosh → u/Kelsier420]

He's nearing worst human, certainly one of the most vulgar.

[u/DungeonMaster24]

Sounds like someone is a little worried about midterms...

[u/robotdesignwerks → u/DungeonMaster24]

Just think of all the money the Clintons and Barack save by living in Trump's head rent-free.

[u/scorpyo72 → u/robotdesignwerks]

I heard Barry has a mansion and a summer home up there.

[u/JMVee_ → u/scorpyo72]

And a closet full of tan suits and birth certificates.

[u/nola5lim → u/JMVee_]

Slathered in dijon mustard

[u/Kuroboom → u/scorpyo72]

There's plenty of room for both.

[u/brigbeard → u/robotdesignwerks]

It's free real estate

[u/SoreLoserOfDumbtown → u/brigbeard]

It's a big empty space sure, but it's filthy, haunted and has awful neighbours. No thanks.

[u/mfGLOVE → u/DungeonMaster24]

Trump is blackmailing former presidents. This is primarily why Trump has the power he has. He knows anyone will do anything and sacrifice anyone just to save themselves.

[u/FenPhen → u/mfGLOVE]

Not anyone. The low characters in his orbit sure.

[u/Feyrauth → u/FenPhen]

Exactly. I feel like Obama would gladly take the hit (if there actually was any kompromat) and Biden and Clinton are old enough they have very few fucks left to give.

[u/nox66 → u/Feyrauth]

If Trump was smart, the absolute last thing he'd want to do is give a voice to Obama, the other most influential American speaker of the 21st century.

If.

[u/chops007 → u/FenPhen]

Literally anyone who believes in something bigger than themselves would not capitulate to this garbage.

[u/-Nocx- → u/mfGLOVE]

bro thinks he’s the CIA or something. the more he says stuff like this the more I think that’s why the Epstein files haven’t been released.

he’s desperately trying to do everything he owes to Putin but the intelligence agency probably has him incriminated for ties to Epstein. So he’s desperately trying to both not end up in prison and avoid getting JFK’d.

[u/Ill_Technician3936 → u/-Nocx-]

The weirdest thing is how he said he's not scared to die or something along those lines while being interviewed but he's been surrounded by bulletproof glass every time he does some rallying for some candidate because he seems terrified. You can take Epstein out of things and prison is still a very real possibility for him (he didn't get sentenced and it's waiting on him). Add in Epstein and he might as well just go out without the bulletproof glass.

[u/ObscureOP → u/mfGLOVE]

Oh bullshit. He's just threatening them because they're the only names he can remember anymore

Give grandpa some warm milk and Arnold Palmer porn for hospice and it'll all be over soon

[u/Shenanigans99]

Trump said he deliberately chose not to act on the information he possesses. "I turned down going after Hillary Clinton. I'm talking about go after them criminally, or I could have done something having to do with their reputations, destroyed their reputations. We have a lot of information about Hillary. We have a lot of information about Barack Hussein Obama. We have a lot of information on Sleepy Joe Biden," he said.

OK, first of all, BULLSHIT, like most of what this sentient diaper says. Secondly, if it were true, then he's obstructing justice and abusing his office by preventing federal investigation of crimes he's aware of, which makes him complicit in the alleged crimes of others.

So either way, he's a complete sack of corrupt shit as everyone already knows. Impeach, remove, indict, convict, imprison that fucking Felon-in-Chief.

[u/bageltoastar → u/Shenanigans99]

Him still calling Biden, “Sleepy Joe” even after frequently being caught on camera falling asleep during oval office meetings is so comedic

[u/theconceptofcanada → u/bageltoastar]

Bruh, he still pronounces and emphasizes Barack Hussein Obama, as if there's still this 2009 Islamophobia trend going on where we're knee deep in the war on terror and the Tea Party is controlling the puppet strings of some shadowy plan to install a Muslim as president. That's how senile he is. He thinks that this is such a gotcha moment that he can't even imagine the last 16 years of the world moving on from those wind-up toy conspiracy theories about OBAMA of all people. Literally the most beloved president since Kennedy!

[u/dannyb_prodigy → u/Shenanigans99]

>Secondly, if it were true, then he’s obstructing justice and abusing his office

This should be what Democrats impeach him on. Call his bluff. Claim he is ignoring his duty to uphold the law by not investigating crimes he is aware of. Watch Republicans contort themselves as they get cross-pressured between attacking Democrats and defending Trump.

[u/whiteatom → u/dannyb_prodigy]

This is actually genius… impeach him for not prosecuting Democrats is like a beautiful double edged sword. His only defense is “it was all bullshit”, or he goes down kicking.

[u/SoggyBoysenberry7703 → u/Shenanigans99]

What’s funny is that he actually is reviving the Hilary shit

[u/Paul_Tired → u/SoggyBoysenberry7703]

It's desperation, he's retreating back to what he thinks will work and he wants to keep all the campaign money he's holding onto.

[u/Echo_NO_Aim → u/Shenanigans99]

It's weird. There are a lot of information about him being involved with Epstein. Maybe someone should look after these.

[u/thecloudcities]

Ironically, weaponizing the DOJ against others as a punishment for being impeached would be a blatant abuse of power and thus an impeachable offense.

[u/lostinelydan → u/thecloudcities]

Hakeem: “Naw, when they go low… we go high”

[u/SamwiseGamchi → u/lostinelydan]

“…We have been through enough as a country, this is a time for healing…”

[u/ZenDruid_8675309 → u/SamwiseGamchi]

In order to heal, we need to cut the cancer OUT.

[u/Koolabaer → u/thecloudcities]

Right? Impeach him for that threat as well. Add it to the "abuse of power" list.

[u/faluty]

You can truly see how insane MAGA is when they continue to bring up these people as if they're actively in government power. Also, what kind of "tough on crime" is it when you use it as an ultimatum? If there was really a concern, why wait lol

[u/ironmonkey09 → u/faluty]

The MAGA mind is weird. My family is MAGA, and they’re so neck-deep in conspiracies and misinformation bullshit that they can’t see or hear how fucking nuts they sound.

The Bidens’, Obamas’, the Clintons, and the evil democrats control the shadow government, but Trump has also destroyed the shadow government.

But! The shadow government is also stealing elections while imposing all these woke laws. They’re so brainless and cooked that they don’t even know who controls the branches of government, except that Trump’s in the white house. These people are hopeless and too far gone to help.

[u/beefytrout → u/ironmonkey09]

Had a conversation with my ultra-MAGA boss in the days after the 2020 election. she was completely convinced that the election had been stolen from Trump.

I asked her why Trump's attorneys weren't able to produce any evidence of that claim whatsoever, despite over 60 appearances in court over "election interference." She said that the entire judicial system was preventing Trump from submitting the evidence that would prove his claims.

So I countered with: if these claims do actually exist, and the entire judicial system is systematically preventing him from proving that the election was stolen... why doesn't he just go public himself with it? He could post it on social media or provide the proof to the news media. She said that the media industry and "big tech" were coordinating together to make sure he wasn't able to release the proof.

I asked her point blank: so you think the entire judicial system, the entire news media industry, and the entire tech industry are all working together to prevent Trump from proving his claim that the election was stolen? "Yes. I 100% believe that's what is happening."

That's the moment I realized that anyone who is MAGA is beyond logic. I walked away from the conversation.

[u/femanonette → u/ironmonkey09]

My family is MAGA, and they’re so neck-deep in conspiracies and misinformation bullshit that they can’t see or hear how fucking nuts they sound.

I hear you friend. It's surreal watching it happen and I've gone no contact because they are so far gone. I remember an aunt being fully unhinged during a Bush-era Thanksgiving ranting about how terrorists are going to come out of the woods with rifles any day now to take over the country and kill us. Absolutely full blown crazy, 'seriously you may want to consider seeing a psychiatrist for these paranoid delusions', but I'm the black sheep of the family.

[u/backpackwayne]

No they impeach you when you do something wrong. Not when your enemies do.

[u/thatguyp2]

"President tells Newsmax he possesses damaging information on three prominent Democrats and previously chose not to act on it out of respect for the presidency"

Uh huh, sure he does. Just like he possessed "proof" the 2020 election was stolen.

[u/MidAtlanticPolkaKing → u/thatguyp2]

Don’t forget proof that the birth certificate was fake.

[u/oneofthehumans → u/thatguyp2]

“respect of the presidency” This fuckin guy! 😂

[u/Jeromes_Pornostache]

If they have committed criminal acts, then why hasn’t he taken legal action against them already?

Oh, because he wields the DOJ as a weapon, something he has long accused his enemies of doing.  What a piece of shit.

[u/fruitmongerking → u/Jeromes_Pornostache]

It’s accusation in a mirror. When he accuses people of something, it’s because it’s what he would do in their shoes. Or has done when he’s been in their shoes. He cannot grasp that others think and act differently from himself.

[u/TheJointDoc → u/fruitmongerking]

He has no Theory of Mind

It’s also why he can’t fathom that this isn’t a great economy, after all he’s never made $2billion in a year before, so it must be great

[u/inthekeyofc]

"I could have done numbers on Hillary Clinton. I could have done numbers on Bill Clinton. I do like Bill Clinton. I could have done numbers on Barack Hussein Obama. Still could, I still could, I could do big numbers if I wanted to"

Wannabe mobster thinks he's in a gangster movie. He's been practicing his Michael Corleone walk. Have you noticed?

[u/Tunnel_of_Goats → u/inthekeyofc]

The only big numbers he is doing is the number 2 in his pants

[u/Tricky-Engineering59 → u/Tunnel_of_Goats]

He knows all the numbers, he knows all the very best numbers. Everyone is saying.

[u/natural-situation420 → u/inthekeyofc]

I'm gonna go get the papers, get the papers

Jimmy Two Times.

[u/sweetplantveal → u/inthekeyofc]

Gotta love the hussein thrown in there.

[u/tiny_galaxies → u/inthekeyofc]

If he has the receipts he should already be directing the DoJ to go after them. Is he claiming to be protecting these people?

[u/Sandee1997 → u/inthekeyofc]

We know he likes Bubba. We know a little too much about that, actually.

[u/Crafty_Ish1973]

Quiet, piggy.

[u/AngelofVerdun]

Threatening actions against citizens if he gets held responsible for his actions...oh look, ANOTHER reason to impeach this pedophile.

[u/thomcrowe]

Someone’s getting scared about midterms. Also, nothing says I’m innocent like threatening the ICC, going after your political opponents, and then making threats about going after others.

Seriously, how has our country fallen so far so fast?

[u/There_is_always_hope → u/thomcrowe]

Because there are racist people in America. The wealthy have used their money to manipulate these people to vote against their best interest by appealing to this racism. The wealthy have created and perpetuated culture wars using social media and old media. Americans don't keep themselves informed and focus on vanity over all else. Now the wealthy have power and are consolidating this power as much as possible. Our democracy is dying right before our eyes, and when it's citizens decide to face our demons we can fix this. If Americans don't wake up then prepare for the worst I would say.

[u/MrPloppyHead]

Presumably Clinton, Obama and Biden have presidential immunity that was established by trump.

[u/BaddyDaddy777 → u/MrPloppyHead]

That’s the other side of the double-edged sword of that decision. Trump can’t go after them because according to the SC, everything they did was an official act of the presidency too and if the DOJ or whoever tries to argue that it doesn’t apply to them, then it can be argued that it doesn’t really apply to him either.

[u/truckaxle]

So does Presidential Immunity only apply to Trump?

Yes -> The SCOTUS probably

[u/jim45804 → u/truckaxle]

Absolutely yes. That judgement was tailored for Trump and Trump alone.

[u/DelirousDoc]

Tell me more how it was Biden who allegedly "weaponized" the DOJ against his opposition.

[u/perenniallandscapist]

Sentence Trump for treason and we can finally start fixing these problems. His lawsuits go away when he's found guilty of treason.

[u/sicurri]

"If you vote to impeach me, I'll hurt your favorite friends!!!" - Trump basically what hes saying.

I forget, is that extortion or blackmail?

[u/IntolerantLeftist127]

Obama needs to stop caring so much and Tweet out “Do it, pussy.”

[u/manticore16 → u/IntolerantLeftist127]

Read that in Obama's voice, was not disappointed.

[u/214ObstructedReverie]

We have a lot of information about Hillary. We have a lot of information about Barack Hussein Obama. We have a lot of information on Sleepy Joe Biden

And absolutely none of it would be admissible in Court because of Trump vs. USA.

[u/PossiblyADemon → u/214ObstructedReverie]

If he had something he would have already used it.

[u/KamKorn]

They must pump Trump with the most insane algorithms because he passionately believes all of the shit he says. He is seriously troubled

[u/actuallyapossom → u/KamKorn]

Just look at his truth social. He browses that cesspit and then reposts from it.

[u/elephant35e]

Why those people instead of the people in congress?

[u/ThinkThankThonk → u/elephant35e]

I think he genuinely thinks "the left" is just equal and opposite idolization of politicians, and thinks principles are fake. 

Pictures of Obama on peoples mantle is a different and specific thing, but it's like how there's been this idea the past few years with Epstein of "watch it, they'll get Clinton too!" as if anyone exists who has tied their sense of self and purpose to Bill Clinton

[u/DatGuy83]

He "chose not to act out of respect for the Presidency" hahahahahahahahahahahaha When the fuck has he ever shown respect for the Presidency when he wasn't in office???

[u/Tribalbob]

If I could post a gif, I feel like the Obama shrugging would be appropriate here.

[u/Backyard_Bombadier]

Can we all just accept the fact that Trump is a raging lunatic and is not a source for anything. Never believe a single word that comes spewing out of his mouth.

[u/snoo_spoo]

Full steam ahead. I doubt he has anything legit on those Dems, and if he does, they should be held accountable for their actions.

[u/redwing180]

Trump’s threat to prosecute Clinton, Obama, and Biden if Congress impeaches him again could itself be grounds for impeachment. Threatening to use federal law enforcement for political retaliation or to intimidate Congress could constitute an abuse of presidential power. Congress wouldn’t have to wait for him to carry out those threats to investigate them as potentially impeachable conduct.

[u/BicycleOfLife]

He’s not supposed to be the justice department.

[u/TheOtherUprising]

This is him just admitting he uses the justice department for political retribution.

[u/PhilParent]

I think the most interesting part about this recent "If things go south for us, BAD THINGS WILL HAPPEN!" uptick is that it might be a sign that they don't think they got this in the bag via the vote OR fuckery. So things might be so bad that the assault on voting rights and voter intimidation might not get it done.

[u/diverareyouokay → u/PhilParent]

Ukraine’s very recent bombing of three Russian data centers has massively compromised their chances of winning the election. As soon as it happened, both Truth Social and Twitter/X instantly had far, far less MAGA/right wing content being posted and/or engaged with.

It’s also most certainly why Trump disabled StarShield (the special StarLink used by offensive Ukrainian operations and totally controlled by the US government) shortly after. When asked why they disabled it, Trump and team said “we didn’t disable StarLink for Ukraine”. Which is technically true, as Musk controls that, and it’s used for defensive Ukrainian operations.. but StarShield is totally distinct, and they did shut that down. Only POTUS or his administration can shut down SS.

Although regarding that issue, I also blame the media, as they seem to have conflated StarLink and StarShield, and didn’t question his answer. If a random redditor like me knows the difference, I would fully expect professional journalists covering the topic to also know the distinction.

It’s one of the reasons they’re panicking now. They absolutely do not think that they have this in the bag.

[u/Ok_Water_4601]

Idgaf. Impeach this Orange Clown and send him to the Hague when we are done. 

[u/Party_Owll → u/Ok_Water_4601]

This is literally what dictators do. Trump impeached TWICE, indicted FOUR times, convicted of 34 FELONIES, and he’s threatening to jail Obama, Clinton and Biden? Obama never got impeached once. Clinton was impeached for lying about an affair, not trying to overthrow democracy. Trump is a mafia boss cosplaying as President and his MAGA cult eats it up because they are too dumb to read the Constitution.

[u/Simpicity]

Proposed headline change: Trump commits extortion.

[u/PurpleDraziNotGreen]

Why does he care about another impeachment? The Senate would never vote to convict, so it's useless.

He probably just wants to go after more of his enemies anyways.

[u/Oceanbreeze871]

If you think an impeachment will make him a lame duck, trying to prosecute three former presidents with Trumped up fake charges will be a bigger 24-7 news cycle thing that will dominate all news

[u/DFu4ever]

Hey Bush, it might mean something to your legacy if you come out and stand up to this guy right now.

[u/wil]

"Hey, guy! Relax! Shut up, guy! I'll sue you!"

[u/whoopashigitt]

Everything he does is criminal action, really

[u/aaronthenia]

This motherfucker is unhinged. If someone on the street said this you would instantly dismiss them as crazy, and this is the fucking President saying it.

[u/Hesychios]

Trump is desperate.

There was a time when, as a last resort, he could have fled to Russia.

Trump is increasingly feeling cornered.

[u/Froggyevening]

He claims he "possesses damaging information on three prominent Democrats." Since he is saying, it's not true.

Do your worst.

[u/CFIgigs → u/Froggyevening]

He'll release it in two weeks.

[u/Quiet325]

He’s delusional.

I like Obama, but if they caught him being a criminal, I’d want to see him arrested. Same for Biden, Clinton, etc.

… same for Trump, Vance, Hegseth, Rubio, etc…

[u/_notNull]

Huh, a threat from a bully. What a surprise. I'm happy to call this bluff.

[u/anchorftw]

So, rather than doing anything at all to help Americans, he's just been enriching himself and stockpiling information that can be used to blackmail his enemies?

[u/remarkr85]

He’s lashing out like a cornered little rat. On point.

[u/Companero_basurero]

"Let justice be done though the heavens fall." I say call his bluff. House, impeach him! Senate, convict him! America, condemn him! I hope that before long, his days of laughing and spitting at the law will be only a distant memory to us.

[u/spacegiantsrock]

I'll never forgive anyone who voted for this dipshit after his attempted insurrection.

[u/Slow_Investment_2211]

I know this is a longshot…but if there are enough Republican senators at jeopardy of losing their seats in 2028 they could side with the Dems to remove him. Nixon was going to be forced out by his own party. Of course Nixon didn’t have the power of Fox News then and the parties have definitely become more die hard team sport oriented

[u/Ok_Confusion_2439]

I could have done numbers on Bill Clinton. I do like Bill Clinton

Hahaha of course he likes Bill Clinton, they’re Epstein buddies.

[u/oh-shazbot]

go ahead and try. it will be a great way to get the case of presidential immunity revisited so that it can either be reversed or once and for all prove that the SC is playing defense for trump. both outcomes work against him.

[u/APraxisPanda]

Don't care- impeach this fucker. What would meaningfully change if he investigated these people? Nothing...

[u/EcoSoso]

No he doesn't. He would be broadcasting that shit 24/7 if it were real.

[u/Useful-World1781]

It’s so hard reading his interviews. Really shows how incoherent he is. Anyways I’m guessing what he has on the Clintons will take him down too. Bring it.

[u/its_yer_dad → u/Useful-World1781]

Trump keeps thinking we care what happens to Clintons. If you have dirt, share it.

[u/Momik → u/Useful-World1781]

He has nothing, he’s just threatening state repression. You know, like a crime.

[u/BananaPalmer]

These morons think we care about the Clintons. Obama, or Biden lmfao

If you can prove they did crimes, go for it, you putrid fuck, but we're coming for your shitsmeared ass, fucking bet on it

[u/EldritchSlut]

If they broke the law like Trump, go for it. I hold no loyalty to politicians.

Obama, Hilary, Biden, and Bush should be held accountable for indiscriminately murdering civilians in the middle east and for aiding and abetting Benjamin Netanyahu and Israel's genocide against the Palestinian people at minimum, they had more information than the public and allowed it to continue.

Don't defend war criminals, if we are going to hold one accountable, they should all be held accountable.

https://costsofwar.watson.brown.edu/finding/human-cost-post-911-wars

[u/accountabilitycounts → u/EldritchSlut]

I understand what you are trying to say, but going for it if he is impeached again is a gross abuse of power. 

[u/TranquilSeaOtter → u/accountabilitycounts]

He's claiming he's sitting on damaging information. If so, he needs to release it. Really detrimental to democracy to say he has damaging information and will only release it if he is politically damaged.

[u/HoustonHenry → u/TranquilSeaOtter]

It's in his diaper, he was being literal

[u/PaulRingo64 → u/TranquilSeaOtter]

If he truly had anything of note, he would be posting about it constantly, screaming it from the roof tops. It would be a GOP talking point for two decades. This whole “I got big news in my back pocket” stuff is just for show, enticing people to turn out.

[u/SecretLadyMe → u/TranquilSeaOtter]

Exactly. If he actually knew something he would be violating his oath of office to protect and uphold the Constitution AGAIN. I honestly would love nothing more than to never hear his voice or name again.

[u/SignificantPop4188 → u/accountabilitycounts]

Like everything he's done so far?

[u/PinchedOffCatTurd → u/EldritchSlut]

He literally campaigned to lockup Hillary. Ten years later, still nothing. If he was so hell bent on locking people up, she would potentially be the easiest because she never had any presidential immunity. The walking talking turd taco is scared he just might have to face gasp consequences.

[u/kingsumo_1 → u/PinchedOffCatTurd]

That reminded me of Jason Chaffetz (the one who actually leaked the report that the FBI was investigating Hillary, leading to Comey having to come public). He actually resigned as a result of that. He was so sure there would be that flood of incriminating evidence and when that never happened, he took his subpoena pen and went home.

If he had anything on any of the them, he could have done something by now. He even had a competent AG in his first term that could have made it happen.

[u/Maremdeo → u/EldritchSlut]

Funny that Trump will only hold them accountable if he is held accountable for his crimes. Typically, innocent people want to pursue justice against guilty people without regard to their own criminal histories...because the innocent have no criminal history.

[u/Anonybibbs → u/EldritchSlut]

Trump threatening to prosecute anyone is beyond insane. The President is not the DoJ or the FBI, the President should have absolutely zero say in what does or doesn't get prosecuted. Trump just brazenly threatening to prosecute former Presidents if Democrats impeach him again is impeachment worthy in and of itself but we just shrug it off because Trump has so thoroughly warped our politics and the rule of law.

[u/Such_Avocado_3241 → u/EldritchSlut]

That’s the thing he doesn’t understand. It’s not about tribe, it’s right vs. wrong.

[u/Accomplished_Egg7069 → u/EldritchSlut]

Which they did not

[u/MagentaMist]

This is some tin pot dictator shit right here.

[u/airforceteacher]

Now would be a great time for Barack to repeat his legendary "please proceed" moment.

[u/Actually_3_Raccoons]

Anything any previous president did is covered by the presidential immunity Trump himself has established at the Supreme Court. They could have personally signed a secret order to have someone piss in his soup and he couldn't do anything because of what HE HIMSELF has argued and won

[u/bkinboulder]

The thing about criminal action is you need actual evidence to present to a grand jury.

[u/Rafiks1]

If they commited illegal acts. There shouldn't be an issue. Hold them to the same standard you should be held to.

[u/houstonyoureaproblem]

"Please talk about anything other than Iran and the economy!"

[u/technanonymous]

Right... Go for it dude! Obama and Biden will use the get out of jail free card you established with your corrupt SCOTUS. The best you can do to Hillary is waste her time. If he could have locked up Hillary, he would have by now.

[u/utahh1ker]

He's done so much more than they did. The dude is a pedophile criminal.

[u/jambags]

“Biden shit my pants”

[u/Illustrious-You-1735]

vote out every republican senator running and impeachment is possible

[u/Current_Ranger_7954]

Cower little piggy, we love to see it

[u/DingGratz → u/Current_Ranger_7954]

I want to be there and see his face when he realizes what the world actually thinks of him. He really needs this before he's done. He needs to understand the suffering he's done but alas, he'll never get it.

[u/ianrl337]

In the words of a wise man..."challenge accepted"

[u/vinvega23]

The trick is getting 67 votes in the Senate to remove him. The math doesn't work vs his Senate lackies.

[u/NeonExorcist]

Ooh someone woke up scared snd shitting his pants. Afraid of democracy?

[u/mmliu1959demo]

First class buffoon

[u/keepitcleanforwork]

Trump is a bully and threatening is near the last resort of a bully. He’s all talk, though.

[u/Solonohioperson]

lol, okay. They have presidential imunity.

[u/Soulshiner402]

He won’t even sit for a deposition for a lawsuit HE filed. Hot air wind bag….

[u/doublethink_1984]

He is also going to rename the San Andreas Fault to Joe Biden's

[u/PontyPandy]

"respect for the Presidency", now we know he ain't got shit

[u/Rough_Common6857]

I would LOVE to see it. It would makeTrump look even worse, if thats even possible.

[u/prozhack]

every day sometimes several times a day it’s a new outburst or potential threat or doomsday scenario with this guy, it’s just unsettling and truly bizarre

[u/lunar_adjacent]

Whatever. We literally don’t care. We’re looking at the future, not the past old man.

[u/jinkinater]

For what? He’s already tried and going after their children

[u/morbihann]

But arent US president immune to law ?

[u/Motor_Somewhere7565]

And, of course, he’ll lose all those cases, because his Justice Department is run by a bunch of buffoons and Yes-men and even if there was ever a sold case against anyone, it would still be derailed because of his Truth Social posts

[u/gunshipolitico]

God damn I cannot stand this bitch

[u/jedre]

First - if? Why make it contingent on being impeached? If they’ve done something wrong, prosecute it. Making it a quid pro quo arrangement immediately establishes it as retaliatory nonsense.

Second - if it was something they did in their official capacity, the dumbass SCOTUS has ruled immunity. So good luck drumming something up outside whatever ‘official capacities’ can include.

[u/Fortestingporpoises]

His actions against Ilhan Omar being entertained by the legal system are emboldening him even more.

[u/I_SLEEP_NORMALLY]

Empty threat. But why’s he so concerned about being impeached again? Republicans have shown nearly zero willingness to try to curb his worst impulses.

[u/DAS_FX]

He’s a cornered rat, feels threatened and knows there are consequences coming very soon. After the midterms decimate republicans in both houses he’s going to be off the rails

[u/Strength-Certain]

Somebody call this man a wambulance

[u/Foolgazi]

Wonder if he knows Clinton was impeached

[u/Calvinweaver1]

he's a convicted felon. isn't every one of his actions, criminal action?

[u/311PR]

He knows that’s not how it works right , I forgot he is an idiot

[u/Demonofthedark1313]

Impeach him for threatening a President x 2.

[u/Onikonokage]

No he doesn’t have criminal info on them. At least not anything different than the same bs he’s already tried pushing.

[u/Loud_East_3637]

Also, he rapes children.
