I am willing to impeach Obama over "Benghazi" in trade for...

[IdaBriggs]

Criminal war crime tribunals against the previous administration and their lackeys.

Politics is all about the deal, right?

Let's deal. Prosecutions for EVERYBODY!

Do I need to detail the crimes of Junior, Cheney and their Evil Band of supporters? If they don't undergo "intensive interrogation" during the investigation, how will we know we have gotten to the bottom of the conspiracy to destroy our country? Jail, poverty, and a few "mandatory minimum" sentences stacked on top of each other should take care of them.

Next, Halliburton (or it's current incarnation) dissolved, and it's Board penalized to poverty, with all proceedings going to reimburse the victims and families of the drive for war profits; there are other companies, and I am sure they can be found easily - war profiteers are pretty easily identified. The victims obviously include citizens of Iraq, Afghanistan, and members of our own military - hopefully there will be enough money to around.

If not, we go after the frackers poisoning our land and water supply, the mine owners who make safety concerns a joke, and the morons who think destroying our ecosystems is a good idea.

Once these small items (and a few others on my list) are taken care of, we can have Obama impeached over "Benghazi" - heck, who needs an investigation? Take care of my requests for justice, and I will horse trade his impeachment without anything resembling "proof", which will absolve the Republicans from manufacturing it - seriously, with the folks who did it so easily while working to destroy our country/enrich themselves already in jail, I am willing to let it slide.

Impeach away.

But until my very reasonable terms are met, SHUT. THE. FUCK. UP. YOU. DISGUSTING. TREASONOUS. REPUBLICAN. SLIME. WORMS.

1. "Don't worry Georgie, we got your back"

[Motown_Johnny]

2. Then we would have an incumbent for 2016

I don't think even the crazies on their side want that.

[Erich Bloodaxe BSN]

3. I wouldn't. It's not impeachable.

IF you're going to impeach Obama, it would have to be for collusion with the war criminals in the past administration, in not prosecuting the for their war crimes, but instead sweeping it under the rug with a half decade of 'We've got to look forward, not back.', and ignoring torture, murder, and a war of aggression.

That's the only impeachable offense he's committed that I know about.

[Hubert Flottz]

13. I couldn't agree more.

Obama lost my support, other than voting for him again to keep a republican out of the White House, when he decided not to legally pursue the neocon war criminals, to the fullest extent of the law. Not only did he fail there, IMHO, he also failed to stop the spying on Americans that Bush started. To me Obama was simply the lesser of two evils, the second time I voted for him.

[Glitterati]

4. I'm NOT.

I'm not willing to let these assholes have even ONE moment of satisfaction, much less ruin the political career of a man like Barack Obama. At. Any. Price.

No. Absolutely not.

[Gidney N Cloyd]

5. Sure. Impeaching ain't convicting.

[Iggo]

12. This. ^^^

Let's make a deal.

[greatauntoftriplets]

6. FFS, you really want to put the country through that again?

Do you remember the Clinton impeachment??? What a stupid idea.

[IdaBriggs]

14. AFTER my terms are met, dear greataunt.

NOT before.

(And what do you think the odds of them being met are? Let us all count to "zero" together, right?)

The Clinton impeachment was pure Republican corruption at its finest.

Still have no idea why the Democrats didn't go after Junior / Cheney when they should have. Maybe the mysterious "white powder" scared them?

[frylock]

18. what was the country put through?

as I recall, I got up, went to school/work, and was generally unaffected by the media circus.

[freebrew]

7. Why not impeach the repubs that withheld security funds,

which BTW, caused the problems? Why haven't the Democrats been screaming this fact daily?

[IdaBriggs]

15. Will you PLEASE quit speaking sense?

We're talking REPUBLICANS, so it is a waste of breath.

Sigh.

[freebrew]

19. You're correct.

Sorry, sometimes I forget who is in charge...damn.

[global1]

8. Won't Work - We Don't Negotiate With Terrorists.......nt

[davidpdx]

11. +1

[TRoN33]

10. Whoa very well said.

16. I want you all to carefully observe a political species near extinction

Col. Wilkerson is an HONORABLE REPUBLICAN. Quick, name two more still in public life that can match that claim.

I do have a criticism, though. He was in the bubble before the war and bought into the CIA Cheney basement stovepipe manufacture of bullshit intel. I was a mere average citizen and DU reader and I read enough to convince me the "intelligence" was nothing more than these hell bent on war chicken hawks cherry picking intel that support their goals. Even when it was from known liars and con men like Chalibi and curveball and all that other coerced bullshit they presented as irrefutable fact.

Watching their mendacity through the lens of history is galling. Mostly because when they warn of a smoking gun in the form of a mushroom cloud, we all know THEY KNEW THEY WERE LYING WHEN THEY WERE SAYING IT!

If lying your country into an unnecessary war isn't treason, then what the hell is?

17. I'd personally rather see Scalia, Alito, and Thomas declared unfit to serve.

After all they gave us the national nightmare that was the George W. Bush administration.

[Lizzie Poppet]

20. 'Zackly!

This travesty of a SCOTUS is doing far more harm in the long term than any president could ever accomplish (with the possible exception of Reagan).

[IdaBriggs]

22. The guy who lost thousands of American lives on his watch FIRST.

ON EDIT: In Jail.

Then we will talk about the dangers of Obama.

In the meantime, welcome to DU.

[uppityperson]

23. Uh. Huh. FRP and impeaching Obama.

[greatauntoftriplets]

24. GMTA and FRP, etc.

[uppityperson]

25. but if we "get mad", we only prove them right. what to do, what to do.

It is fun seeing one before it is autoremoved, I think that is one of the things I miss most being off mirt.

[greatauntoftriplets]

26. I'm not mad, I'm laughing!

But, yes, I do miss many things while not on MIRT.

[NYC_SKP]

28. Jury: 4 to 1 LEAVE. Go MIRT! Results of your jury service.

30. I'm always happy to see libertarians shown the door.

at the jury. Hmmm, I've never watched any of those.

[Warpy]

27. Stupid and Cheney and their whole administration

need to go before the World Court and for that, we'll need to sign that particular bit of paperwork. We haven't, you know. It's one of the sources of deep shame I feel for this country.

I don't trust people here not to give Stupid and Cheney the Mussolini treatment.

ETA: I'm always a little disappointed when MIRT slaps a troll down before people get to use it as a chew toy, first.

[indepat]

29. These slummy RW bastids are even much worse than you describe imo

[jimlup]

31. Now you've gone and insulted slime worms again...

They are worth way more to the world than Republicans
