how are you going to do that? I definitely support the idea. but how do you get these people to put Congress back into session. because the sycophants control that

and mainly they need to figure out at least a few Republicans who will defect from the president's cult of personality. enough to get Congress in session. nothing happens before that. and then to get a vote which is not guaranteed.

I'm very trying.. oh wait that's not what you meant. well we don't know because this is definitely a thing that is in the purview of congressional whips. nobody's going to do anything until somebody counts whether they have any votes for it

Genuinely they camp out on the stairs of the fucking building demanding their colleagues return. Publicly, loudly, and aggressively.

Anything less feels hollow.

Action like this. Mean tweets are not enough. Physical action. Sit in by congress and the senate. Remember Ukraine and the Maidan? They made the president flee to Russia.

There is nothing stopping you from camping on the capitol steps either.

You think Mike Johnson gives a fuck? How about this, start pressuring THE PARTY IN CHARGE

I think that would be cool and symbolically powerful for the larger public discussion. but you know people were on the capitol steps when Mike Johnson refused to call the house into session before, not like he isn't going to do it again.

"how are you going to do that" is a question you should be asking the senator, not his constituents. please use this as a general rule

thank you for instructing me. as a side question.. what is your background in parliamentary procedure as implemented in the Senate who sets their own rules? constitutional law? and how effective is it for people to tell a cop that they can't write them a ticket because they are not subject to law

You swine always come out of the woodwork to flail & cry about why you believe things *can't* happen, when, if anything the Trump era has taught us, is that YOU CAN JUST DO THINGS.

JUST DO THEM.

Fuck.

I am so sick & tired of you weak-willed nerds leaping to the defense of Dems being asked to act.

Campaign for it like they campaign for election.

Phone banks, door knocking, advertising and flyering.

Impose a political cost on Republicans not impeaching the Mfer.

They could just enter into session unilaterally without official house/senate leader's permission and just do it, that would cause some interesting results but it is an option given the situation.

actually they can't, right? only the January 6th people can walk into the room and have it be in session. Mike Johnson has to agree for anything to happen

You pledge to pass a law once you take back control of Congress such that anyone who had the power to remove a president who was promising genocide, and refused to use that power, faces legal liability for the genocide.

Will that potentially include a bunch of Democrats who don't want to vote to impeach and remove the president? Yeah. So?

sorry about my previous replies I didn't follow back to the original thread and post that you responded to. look when you do these things they have effects. the United States refused to join in international genocide conventions, specifically for this reason

Call Massie and some other sane Republicans, get the numbers for a quorum, and enter the chamber.

okay so you get enough members for a quorum. and somehow you get a quorum call to establish that. at what point is Mike Johnson in the house, for example not allowed to just not call the chamber intercession. as he has done before

Well the first step is for them all to go back to DC immediately. Like genuinely, get on a flight right now. Getting Congress back into session is secondary to them all BEING IN TOWN.

awesome. but you have Republicans in control of the levers to reconvene. and Mike Johnson has always treated his power to call the house intercession, exactly as if Tyrant had dissolved the duma/congress/parlment

I mean they had several days' warning that he was going to do this, there's no excuse for them to be Posting instead of Doing.

they did have several days warning? that would definitely change the math. please I think it would be important for everybody for you to tell me your source that they knew he was going to do this several days in advance
