The wholly fucked up thing is that yes I did forget that is why he was impeached the first time. He’s committed so many crimes how the fuck could I keep track though?
This is precisely why posting about every little thing Trump does is a problem
We just need a monthly summary…Wednesday 03/05/25: indirectly murdered 254 babies .
That’s why i love What The Fuck Just Happened Today
.
They’re doing that anyway.
I remember he did this. Couldn’t tell you for certain if this was why he was impeached in part because there’s so much shit as you say, but mostly because apparently impeachement means absolutely nothing.
That’s a good point. If there were consequences for these crimes, they would likely be easier to keep track of…

Remember when the Republicans refused to take the Jan 6 impeachment seriously because he was not going to be in office by the time they completed the investigation, and they said that it would be a matter for the courts, and then the SCOTUS said that Presidents are immune to prosecution and the only recourse is impeachment?
Trump can be impeached again for everything and anything he did between then and now, including while he was out of office. He can be impeached for inciting the Jan 6 terrorist attacks, he can be impeached for his election interference in several states, he can be impeached for sharing state secrets and documents at Mar a Lago with foreign agents, and he can be impeached for just about any of the executive actions he’s taken since being reelected.
He should be, but there is a zero percent chance of the republicans holding him accountable for anything at this point.
Yeah, because that would set a precedent for holding people accountable. Even those who internally oppose Trump don’t want to relinquish their free pass on illegal and unethical activities.
The Media is Complicit in Trumps escapades.
Especially with his second term, with how astronomically hard they worked to sanewash everything he said and did. because they’d rather sell out the country and their integrity, than dare risk losing access.
The Lügenpresse are no longer the enemy of the state… They are the tool of the state.
The 4th Branch of the Government, corporate controlled media.
Man I’m half tempted to make 70 accounts just to upvote you over and over again.
Not really, but damn this needs to be something everyone is thinking about.
That phrase was hammered into my head via Immortal Technique lol
Media during the election:
Kamala said “from” instead of “to” – does she have what it takes to lead the country?
Next up, how ripping apart trade agreements while pretending to be a truck driver is the what America needs.
Another thing the news won’t highlight is trump made all these deals with Canada and Mexico. It’s bullshit for him to turn around and start a trade war over them. They are his deals!
Dementia or something. Probably wants Mexico and Canada to be states if he can figure out how to deport all the Latinos/as further south.
That’s honestly probably why he isn’t calling for Mexico to be a state. Too many not quite white people.

People are starting to pour in from Reddit bans.
Personally I left because they increased efforts to ban 3rd party apps…
They can pry Boost from my cold, dead hands.
Mine stopped working yesterday, but there are fixes using the ReVanced Manager stuff
Now? Again? You’re not talking about last year are you?
There had been workarounds for a while, but all seemed like a pain in the ass.
It has been working fine since then, as long as you are moderator (just make your own sub). But now they’re banning specific user agents from accessing the API.
~ oops, meant to reply above you
So if I get moderator status on Reddit I can still use a third party app? Interesting. I don’t think I can be bothered though. I like it here and very rarely go back to reddit to lurk niche things I can’t find otherwise
Yeah, until yesterday Boost was working as usual.
Now you need to patch it. It’s pretty simple, though, takes maybe 5-10 minutes with this guide.
Here are 5 sources I found almost immediately linking the latest exchange to the impeachment:
https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2025/03/01/zelenskyy-trump-oval-office-column-00205584

It’s not the “lead” in the reporting though, media is as complicit in the attention-span blackout we’re all experiencing. There are not-bad people in this very post who think this is entirely misinformation because media isn’t leading their charge with this context.
Every headline and every major political story is focusing on what Trump is saying and doing, not the historical context of what our national relationships have been like and what Trump’s history is.
I know we hate this, but our population is eroded. We have like, fucking microplastics in everyone’s brains that are making people not think with words anymore. Everyone is just scrolling and working and slowly boiling to death as the pan heats up. If mainstream news sources actually did their job and showed us what was happening with intentionality and a focus on trying to FORCE people to pay attention, we wouldn’t have gotten anywhere close to this mess.
But the media is complicit. They profit from chaos and they LOOOOOVE donny, he is their cash-cow and they will mourn when he finally passes away, or bursts into a cloud of bats or however people like him die.
It’s journalist’s job to tell you the facts, not to tell you how to think.
If anything is complicit it’s the social media algorithms that just blast information and opinions at people to program to think a certain way without making any effort to do some critical thought.
Believing that the media should be telling people to think the way you want them to think is just being part of the problem. If you haven’t noticed, that way of doing things results in people constantly having extreme emotions which can easily be manipulated by fascists.

Connecting the dots is too difficult.
Was just re-reading how Manafort installed Putin’s stooge before Zelensky. Trump seemed to have thought that’s who he could just call up and get to do his bidding. I’m saying he probably thought he was calling Yanukovych even though Manafort was his own stooge. I mean, that’s moronic and all but, it tracks, considering what we know now.
It wouldn’t surprise me in the least.
I feel like it would be like mentioning Monica Lewinski when talking about Bill Clinton - everyone knows, everyone is sick of hearing about it - no matter how relevant it is.
And yet people - some people - still don’t know.
Except Ukraine actually fucking matters
Typical bot propaganda
I’m so confused by this tweet. No, I don’t remember. When?? He was impeached for denying aid when? Anyone have a source? Tweets are such shitty methods of spreading information. 150 characters are designed for misinformation.
On the off chance that you’re not kidding: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_impeachment_of_Donald_Trump
They probably can’t remember because media companies swamped it with distraction articles and it never went anywhere because feckless Republican killed it in the Senate
Right! Thank you. I wasn’t kidding and I stand by what I said. I’m blown away by the replies to my comment too, because it’s true AND relevant. The deleted comments expressing hostility totally missed the point. Tweets are SUCH shitty ways of spreading information, but effective at misinformation. The right constantly makes fake history out of tweets like this one. when you see a wild unsourced claim that agrees with your worldview the smart thing to do is to question it, and look further into it. I wanted to see if anyone would actually try to educate me.
for real, what’s with this tweet? if it’s such a big cover up then why not include a source for it so people can learn?? I wasn’t even in the united states at the time. This is literally the first I’m hearing about it and I’ve been following US politics closely since I arrived here 5 years ago.
But no, it’s not an exposure problem it’s a YOU problem and if you dont remember then we are just better than you. That’s why the original tweet said “hey you know you no one else remembers this because they’re willfully ignorant?” oh wait no it didn’t, it said the media isn’t giving it attention, i guess that means we should link a fucking article god i hate social media sometimes
that’s wild, I definitely missed that. I knew he was impeached twice and did a lot more bs deserving impeachment, and that the second one was for sedition… I guess this one happened so closely to jan 6 that it overshadowed everything else
