Well one Republican hasn’t been fully neutered by Trump. How about the rest of you?

    Well, yes. Now when are you doing the right thing, and call for impeachment proceedings?

    And by the way, any impeachment process should include a stern warning for JD not to even think about any kind of pardons for Trump, or get impeached in turn.

      Even if he’s impeached I’m not confident he’d have to step down. Good just in case though.

        Impeachment is the first step. It’s a vote by the House. Then you have a trial in the Senate. There is no way he’d ever step down, so he’d have to be removed that way. It’s a simple majority in the House and two thirds in the Senate.

        That’s not the point. The point is that Rep. Thomas Massie is personally in a position to do something about it himself, and needs to shut the fuck up and put his money where his mouth is. As a member of the House of Representatives, there is absolutely nothing stopping him from unilaterally filing articles of impeachment. He doesn’t need consensus, he doesn’t need the support of party leadership, he doesn’t need anybody’s permission. He can just do it. Right now.

        So will he actually do it, or is he just yet another Trump-ass-licking fascist shitstain with zero credibility?

    Well, here’s a clue that the entire Republican Party could really use - nothing that Taco has been doing has been Constitutional.

    Massie is wrong (again). The president has rights to take actions against foreign nations. These are immediate and brief in nature. Like bombing a nuclear weapons facility. For additional action over time he needs Congress.

    Sen. John Cornyn was one Republican who supported the president on X, saying, “President Trump made the courageous and correct decision to eliminate the Iranian nuclear threat. God Bless the USA. Thank you to our extraordinary military and our indomitable POTUS. This is what leadership on the world stage looks like.”

    Yeah.
