"It's not about drugs. If it was, Trump wouldn't have pardoned one of the largest narco traffickers in the world last month. It's about oil and regime change. And they need a trial now to pretend that it isn't. Especially to distract from Epstein + skyrocketing healthcare costs," she claimed in a social media publication.

Then do something about it. Have the congressional police arrest Trump, Vance, and Secretary of Defense Hegseth.

So do you really think that one Congresswoman has the power to arrest a sitting president? Hell even if you took all the progressives and what remains of the squad, do you really think those numbers are enough to pull what could only be a coup?

Truly though, I think the reason Trump is going to get away with this and the reason Bush got away with his bullshit before is because of nonsense statements like this.

Also there's no such thing as Congressional police. You may be trying to refer to the Capitol Police, but they can't even successfully arrest insurrectionists.

bush got away because the MSM stopped reporting his actions the moment he left, in order cover for him, so magats would forge the ever did anything.

I mean, you don’t actually expect that to be possible right? Think of the implication that would have, where republicans would just arrest the president for wearing a tan suit.

I get that these are more obvious crimes, but the idea that a single member of the house could mobilize any kind of force to arrest the sitting president is insanity.

[–] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Which is more insane:

A member of congress operating unilaterally to arrest members of the Executive branch to halt their criminal actions?

Or the Executive branch acting unilaterally to wage war illegally on a sovereign nation?

You’re missing my point. A singular member of congress has zero authority, nor avenue to accomplish, arresting a sitting president. It isn’t just “it isn’t done, don’t do that” it’s “there’s no way to accomplish that.”
