"Here's what a functional democracy does after its president abuses his power and declares martial law: remove him from office."

--Steven Beschloss

"Protesters reacting as the vote to impeach the president was announced on Saturday."

Opposition lawmakers needed eight supporting votes from Mr. Yoon’s party to impeach him. When they called an impeachment vote last weekend, Mr. Yoon’s People Power Party boycotted it, saying that he should be given a chance to resign rather than be impeached. Only three of its 108 lawmakers participated. On Saturday, the party said that it officially opposed impeachment, but its lawmakers were allowed to cast their secret ballots. The result indicated that 12 lawmakers from Mr. Yoon’s party had joined the opposition to impeach him and another 11 abstained or cast invalid votes, sealing his fate. [emphasis added]

Why couldn't the Republicans in the U.S. Senate have voted to convict Trump in 2021 after he incited an insurrection and attempted to interrupt the peaceful transfer of power?

Once again, Republicans make America look bad in the eyes of the world.

The hypocrisy. The attack on the rule of law.

Republicans are malware. Weaponized inaction.

Not Our President. Let's Impeach "Yoon" l 2024. 12. 7

A right wing president who was elected by a tiny margin and with less than 50% of the vote by appealing to resentful bros has been impeached.

No, not THAT president. It was Yoon Suk-yeol of South Korea who finally got the boot after an unsuccessful attempt to impose authoritarian martial law.

South Korea’s parliament has voted to impeach the president, Yoon Suk Yeol, almost two weeks after his short-lived declaration of martial law plunged the country into its worst political crisis for decades. In dramatic scenes at the national assembly in Seoul, 204 lawmakers voted for an opposition motion to impeach Yoon, while an estimated 200,000 protesters outside demanded he be thrown out of office. Saturday was the second opportunity in a week the assembly’s lawmakers had to begin the process of ousting Yoon, whose approval ratings have plummeted to 11%. To succeed, the opposition parties, which together control 192 seats, needed at least eight members of Yoon’s People Power party (PPP) to vote in favour to reach the required two-thirds majority of 200 in the 300-seat chamber. In the end, it appears that more PPP members were willing to throw their support behind impeachment. South Korean TV said 85 MPs voted against, while three ballots were spoilt and eight were ruled invalid. Huge cheers erupted outside the chamber as the results were announced, and MPs left to applause from onlookers. The spotlight will now move to the country’s constitutional court, whose six justices must vote unanimously in favour to uphold parliament’s decision. Yoon will now be suspended from office while the court deliberates, with the prime minister, Han Duck-soo, becoming interim president. The court has 180 days to rule on Yoon’s future. If it approves the motion, South Koreans must elect a new president within 60 days of its ruling.

Overreach is a trait of rulers who overestimate the support they have as well as the extent of their power. It was well known in ancient times and appears in a number Shakespeare's plays. Putin's invasion of Ukraine is a classic instance of overreach. Overreach can seriously weaken or even topple those who do the reaching.

It looks like House Republicans are giving up on trying to impeach Joe Biden.

Republicans started this impeachment inquiry, not because they were aware of a crime, but because they were hoping, if they looked hard enough, maybe they would find one. They desperately wanted to find a crime not for the sake of justice, but rather, to satisfy some petty need for revenge.

It's been almost a year now of intensive investigations and they haven't found any evidence of any crimes. It turned out to be a huge waste of time and a huge waste of taxpayers' dollars. It's no surprise to anyone that this Republican controlled Congress is widely considered to be among the least productive in all of American history.

Instead of tackling important issues that could actually benefit the American people (healthcare, immigration reform, gun violence, poverty, etc), Republicans decided to work on salvaging their own political careers. They longed for the publicity they would receive if they actually found some wrongdoing by the president.

Hey Republicans, I heard a rumor that once, back in 1957, Biden tried to buy an ice cream cone with an expired coupon. You guys should look into that.

P.S. – have you checked to see if he has any overdue library books?

Senate dismisses Mayorkas impeachment

[niiwa-angel]

I will say, with Trump now being the US president for the second time, maybe now he can get impeached a third and fourth time, really solidifying his place as the most impeached president in history.

This afternoon, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) introduced articles of impeachment against two corrupt far-right judicial activists sitting on the Supreme Court: Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito. The articles of impeachment against SCOTUS Justices Thomas and Alito have no chance of passage in the GOP-controlled House.

Summary of the impeachment charges against Alito and Thomas, via Rep. Ocasio-Cortez’s Congressional website:

The first impeachment resolution includes the following impeachment articles against Justice Thomas:

Failure to disclose financial income, gifts and reimbursements, property interests, liabilities, and transactions, among other information.

Refusal to recuse from matters concerning his spouse’s legal interest in cases before the court.

Refusal to recuse from matters involving his spouse’s financial interest in cases before the court.

The second impeachment resolution includes the following impeachment articles against Justice Alito:

Refusal to recuse from cases in which he had a personal bias or prejudice concerning a party in cases before the court.

Failure to disclose financial income, gifts and reimbursements, property interests, liabilities, and transactions, among other information.

This afternoon, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) introduced articles of impeachment against corrupt and unethical far-right judicial activists Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas that currently sit on the nation's highest court.

AOC is correct: these two corrupt far-right judicial activists deserve to be impeached and removed from the court for their unethical conduct on the bench.

The Republicans have nothing on Biden, they just want to gaslight their donor mailing list for more money.
