Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) on Sunday predicted that Democrats will impeach Trump for a third time between his two presidencies if they take control of the House after the November midterm elections.

Jordan suggested in an interview on “Cats Roundtable,” the WABC 770 AM radio show hosted by John Catsimatidis, that Democrats will take the legislative branch’s oversight capability “and turn it into a weaponization of government.”

“They say they’re not going to, but we know they will –– they’ll do a third impeachment of President Trump,” Jordan told the host. “But that’s just part of it. They’re going to investigate the first family, they’re going to investigate cabinet secretaries.”

I don't know who Jim Jordan is, but I predict a third Trump term.

[-] kent_eh@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 days ago

Laws or enforcement doesn't seem to mean anything in the USA any more.

[-] nosuchanon@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago

Impeachment means nothing if the Senate does not remove him from office. Which they won’t because the corporate overlords are making money hand over fist becoming the worlds gas station.

[-] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 133 points 4 days ago

Yes. That's the idea asshole.

Consequences for crimes.

Fuck around, find out.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

I thought you dumbasses professed to be the "law and order" party? Guess that was just another big fucking lie like all your other claims...

The biggest bullshit is that legally speaking, he will get away with everything he did. the supreme court declared that everything the president does is legal. that was some major bullshit.

Why would a Republican make statements that make people vote Democrat?

Half of united statesians still like trump our country is fucked

[-] abc@suppo.fi 5 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

I mean his approval rating is -22.4 -- 37.5% approving, 60.1% disapproving.

But the reason might be something stupid, like if gas prices suddenly go down a week before the elections, everybody's suddenly happy about him.

Exactly, a bunch of those disapprovings will still vote for him they just disapprove of gas prices at the moment

I sure hope it doesn't end with just impeaching donnie, either.

All of his accomplices should be hounded with lawsuits and prison time for the rest of their miserable lives.

[-] Archangel1313@lemmy.ca 19 points 4 days ago

The Guiliani effect should be the bare minimum.

Impeachment means nothing. Removal is where it’s at.

[-] CannonFodder@lemmy.world 17 points 3 days ago

Impeachment itself means nothing. But they can open investigations into all sorts of stuff under the guise of impeachment preparation. They can bring everything to light and leak it all to the press. Done correctly, the whole first family can be dragged through the gutters forever.

[-] im_fine_sandy@nord.pub 16 points 3 days ago

Done correctly

Two little words doing some heavy lifting there.

Dems couldn't "done correctly" a fuck in a brothel.

Fight fascism.

Like actually fight it.

As long as conservatives continue to exist in the U.S., Sherman's work is not finished.

[-] humanspiral@lemmy.ca 14 points 3 days ago

I hope the impeachment process takes just 2-3 days. Here's 100 reasons, just shut up and vote.

Rep. Jim Jordan, predicts you will get wet, if it rains

[-] psycotica0@lemmy.ca 26 points 3 days ago

I guess Jim Jordan has more faith in Democrats than I do...

[-] Goforce5@lemmy.world 10 points 3 days ago

Oh, the Democrats wont hesitate to impeach him. They know it gets them brownie points, while nothing tangible actually happens.

We should impeach Gymnasium Jordan as well.

[-] Ajdee6@lemmy.world 15 points 3 days ago

Oh great, because the last 2 did so much!

[-] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 11 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

It made MAGA jump through hoops in a panic, and the entire world was talking about Trump's corruption. That's not nothing.

And history will NEVER forget it. It's never a bad idea to put an evil dictator's crimes on the permanent written record for all time.

[-] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

Any time and effort they spend fighting impeachment is less time they spend fucking up everything else.

Oh I know how to prevent that. STOP DOING CRIMES!

[-] artyom@piefed.social 37 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Holy shit would they have a long list of charges at this point...

Democrats will take the legislative branch’s oversight capability “and turn it into a weaponization of government.”

Don't forget to always accuse others of the shit you're doing.

[-] buzz86us@lemmy.world 15 points 3 days ago

Can we make him face consequences for Epstein, and his felony convictions too?

[-] Burn_The_Right@lemmy.today 6 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

SCOTUS says no. So, we need to remove them first.

We need to make it illegal for conservatives to hold any position of authority. Conservatism can bring only oppression, sickness and death. History has proven this throughout all recorded history.

[-] III@lemmy.world 9 points 3 days ago

He didn't rape all of those children while in office so SCOTUS can go fuck themselves.

…third (ineffective) impeachment. Impeachment is useless if it’s effectively meaningless.

[-] deadalus@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 3 days ago

Like most laws about what a government official (especially the president) can and can't do. The amount of illegal shit trump does on the daily is insane. But who will be successful in actually making him face consequences?

[-] NocturnalMorning@lemmy.world 7 points 3 days ago

Impeachment? This dude should be in an old folks home. He's barely lucid, and they've been doing a Weekend at Bernies for 2 years with his barely there corpse.

If they weren't complicit in his crimes, he'd have been removed from office a long time ago.

He should be in solitary confinement serving hundreds of consecutive life sentences

[-] Funkt4st1c@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Id only accept a cold ditch in many pieces so his soul cannot reach the shadowlands, requiring him to roam the shithole he's created and polluted forever

[-] churrodestroyer@lemmy.zip 23 points 3 days ago
[-] IamMoonPie@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago

And nothing will come of it again because democrats are spineless.

[-] hark@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

What did the first two impeachments accomplish? His term wasn't cut short and he faced no consequences at all. Maybe democrats think the impeachments count as a "black mark" on his record or some dumb thing like that, but in practice they didn't matter. Democrats had the opportunity to prosecute trump after 2020 with plenty to prosecute him for, including Jan 6th, and yet they sat around and did nothing for four years. I'm sick of this dog and pony show.

[-] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 13 points 3 days ago

This is the kind of bi-partisan nature I expect in the US.

Republicans campaigning for Democrats and Democrats campaigning for Republicans.

[-] Pratai@piefed.ca 10 points 3 days ago

I predict they’ll capitulate and let bygones be pedophiles.

I couldn't get further than this:

“And then they’ll also, I think, go after people in the private sector,” Jordan continued. “They’re going to go up for any business who, as an example, you got businesses who helped paper the inauguration, which happened every four years … [Democrats] are going to somehow say, ‘Oh, these businesses have done something wrong.'”

Reverse Victim and Offender.

The appropriately named Liar Liar has some excellent advice for how Trump (and his cabinet and family) could avoid further criminal investigations, impeachment, and congressional oversight hearings:

[-] benderbeerman@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

Sounds a little like Gym Jordan is trying to get democrats to take control of the House
