Rules (2024-08-30)
- This is an English-language community. Comments should be in English. Posts can link to non-English news sources when providing a full-text translation in the post description. Automated translations are fine, as long as they don't overly distort the content.
- No links to misinformation or commercial advertising. When you post outdated/historic articles, add the year of publication to the post title. Infographics must include a source and a year of creation; if possible, also provide a link to the source.
- Be kind to each other, and argue in good faith. Don't post direct insults nor disrespectful and condescending comments. Don't troll nor incite hatred. Don't look for novel argumentation strategies at Wikipedia's List of fallacies.
- No bigotry, sexism, racism, antisemitism, dehumanization of minorities, or glorification of National Socialism.
- Be the signal, not the noise: Strive to post insightful comments. Add "/s" when you're being sarcastic (and don't use it to break rule no. 3).
- If you link to paywalled information, please provide also a link to a freely available archived version. Alternatively, try to find a different source.
- Light-hearted content, memes, and posts about your European everyday belong in !yurop@lemm.ee. (They're cool, you should subscribe there too!)
- Don't evade bans. If we notice ban evasion, that will result in a permanent ban for all the accounts we can associate with you.
- No posts linking to speculative reporting about ongoing events with unclear backgrounds. Please wait at least 12 hours. (E.g., do not post breathless reporting on an ongoing terror attack.)
(This list may get expanded when necessary.)
We will use some leeway to decide whether to remove a comment.
If need be, there are also bans: 3 days for lighter offenses, 14 days for bigger offenses, and permanent bans for people who don't show any willingness to participate productively. If we think the ban reason is obvious, we may not specifically write to you.
If you want to protest a removal or ban, feel free to write privately to the mods: @federalreverse@feddit.org, @poVoq@slrpnk.net, or @anzo@programming.dev.

MODERATORS
Only if the Senate would prosecute him does Congress have any real say. Would it be an offense that should have him impeached and removed immediately, yes. Would they do so... Doubt it.
The question is, "is there at least 33 scumbags and a JD Shit for Brians in the Senate?" The answer is easy. Absolutely. He likely could level their 3 largest cities with carpet bombs killing 25,000+ people and threaten to attack any country who moves to retaliate or protect them. Unless all of NATO/EU mobilized together, they would just give it up. Hell, that's 20,000 people less than Israel has killed, and the world just watched. Suppressing 25,000 people scattered throughout the land are easy to suppress compared to the almost 50 million that were in countries like Iraq. He could end the war before Congress could potentially convene, and pass the impeachment documents to the Senate for a trial.
NATO wouldn't want to fight the U.S. when Russia is already engaging from the East and trying to grab more land
