What we are witnessing is terrifying to behold.

[seafan]

It has come to pass that we must remove this lunatic and his vice president from power, and it must happen NOW. US marshals must enter the White House and arrest them. He is murdering our citizens and untold numbers of Iraqis, and perhaps now Iranians and Syrians, for all we know.

Impeachment and removal will be too late.

He must be stopped NOW.

He knows that we are all on to him and his bloody crimes against the world's people. He knows we will find out about his secret, criminal acts that have been going on since he was installed into the White House in 2000 against the will of The People.

With each new investigation by a determined Congress that he no longer controls, it will unearth his treason, murder, international crimes against humanity and the robbery of the American people of their children, husbands, wives, brothers, sisters, extended family members, loved ones.

He is a train heading for the end of a blown-up trestle over a raging, rocky, bloody river. His mind is spinning into a black hole of destruction and there is no more hope for him to retrieve his imagined legacy, his standing against his father, now that the whole world will see him stripped of his power and arrogance.


There's no turning back.


He must be stopped NOW.


For the love of all things in this universe, he must be stopped now.

[blossomstar]

1. Amen!

[Jeffersons Ghost]

12. kicking...

[midnight]

2. Can a citizens arrest occur? I'm just curious. N/T.

[mod mom]

9. A citizen cannot get within screaming distance of the chimp.

[A wise Man]

39. A citizen arrest is lawful

but it wont work because they don't abide by the law.Plus they won't let you get close enough to "HITLER".

[Kelly Rupert]

41. Not in this case, no.

[northernsoul]

51. trying it would be a good way to get shot by the Secret Service

As a legal aside, arrests by non-peace officers can only be validly executed under very narrow circumstances - otherwise, it usually constitutes civil battery and/or false imprisonment. Not to mention that there are probably sovereign immunity issues. Members of the DC bar can probably provide more insight than this humble scrivener.

[Marie26]

52. Let Hackett at him! nt

[wordpix]

3. Constitution says the House can impeach & then he can be removed by Senate trial but

Congress must consider how much more havoc this SOB can wreak on America and the world. They'd better speed up their investigation.

[tridim]

4. Short of arresting him, we might be able to force a quick resignation.

But he'll never resign unless we get serious about impeachment.

I completely agree that he must go immediately.

[A wise Man]

40. I'd rather

see him, Chaney, Rice, Rove and all that are involved in this coup'd eta

[file83]

5. I think bush should eat pretzels while mountain biking...

...just a suggestion.
:rofl:

[WinkyDink]

6. Kicked and recommended... from an ex-Floridian!

Always like to see that state flag!

In peace,

[seafan]

16. Thanks, Radio_Lady. It's all just beyond belief.

May James Baker and Sandra Day O'Connor be haunted forever by what they orchestrated.

[madokie]

7. yesterday would not be soon enough

[texpatriot2004]

25. So true nm

[Generator]

8. A touch hysterical but probably accurate

The problem is society. We respect people based on money and titles and things like that. "Don't say that about your teacher, Bobby." Well the teacher is a perverted creep but the profession must be respected. There is an inherent amount of respect given to the office of president. IT may come to pass that we are being led by a lunatic madman but politics forbids such mentioning of truth. I have always despised society. "Don't say anything about the boss." Yeah the boss is fucking you over big time, but we must respect the one with the money and power.

I never ever have. It's genetic or something. Some will never ever speak the truth. And it's usually too late when they do. If we lived in a different world, Bush would have been removed for incompetence (at the very least) a long time ago (like say after 9/11-you know about a week after). But power and money and respect for power and money are the planet I live on. I'm the weird one. Never them. UGHHHHHHHHHH.

[Raksha]

21. You're not the weird one, you're just in the minority.

I have never understood this mindless kowtowing to authority just because it *IS* the authority, and never mind how the individual got to be in that position. I'm anti-authoritarian to the core and always have been.

[cui bono]

43. Remember that bumper sticker: "Question Authority" ? nt

[liberal renegade]

60. A toast to a fellow

POR.... Pocket of Resistance... :toast:

[BlooInBloo]

10. Don't blame the snake for biting. Blame the voters.

[StClone]

15. Mostly true in the long haul.

The Republicans slowly worked there way into all levels of Gov. to then unlease a Trojan Zombie attack on all those without power or money. The voters are responsible but they were duped and election legitimacy is also suspect.

[Stevepol]

48. Bush wasn't elected in either 2000 or 04. FL was stolen, and

the voting machines were tilted by about 5% evidently, if the exit polls are to be believed, and the corroborating evidence is strong enough that I think the exit polls can be seen as very likely the most accurate reading of the results. Bush won in cyber space by about 2 1/2 % but he lost the exit polls by about 3%, a flip of about 5%. This was prettyconsistent from state to state tho there were exceptions of course, depending on whether the state was critical to the election and the degree that each state was using the voting machines.

[vanboggie]

63. Exactly

The faux s-elections can be added to BushCo's crime column.

[Jeffersons Ghost]

11. K&R... here's a forth rec. and just as I posted, I saw a 5th; on to greatest! here's a good gif...

keep watchin' You'll like this antiwar anti-bushit imagery!

[seafan]

19. That's exactly how I feel. Thanks, Jeffersons Ghost. n/t

[Freeusfromthechurch]

55. Jeffersons Ghost

I appreciate your creativity and I totally get your freedom of expression. But damn, that heart is creeping me out.

[StClone]

13. Weird dichotomy

Bush pathologically lies, spies as U.S. citizens die and he ignores the Constitution and international convention as he goes.

Yet "civilized" laws allow W's historic debacle to continue. His reign of terror and error even seeks to escalate it. What we are witnessing is terrifying to behold, indeed.

The people voted starkly against Bush and the RepubliCONs but there goes Bush wanting a bigger, bloody conflict for no justifiable reason. We want what is best for us and Bush wants what he thinks will make him a place in history (!) regardless the cost. What a dichotomy.

We must stop the madness! I am open to suggestion on the best way to proceed.

[earth mom]

14. Is Congress willing to do what it takes to remove that madman?

How many of us around here have been saying for the past two months that * must be stopped only to have those words fall on the deaf ears of Congress?! :banghead:

God-if there is a God-help us all! :nuke:

[Imagevision]

17. Republicans are growing against Bush so it is that bad!!!!

[bdamomma]

27. that could be our saving grace, the repigs go against their president

does anyone remember what happened to Caesar???

[porphyrian]

18. How about we go ahead and impeach anyway while otherwise trying to stop him now? - n/t

[seafan]

20. The window for stopping a catastrophic event is slamming shut.

We have no time to lose.

[porphyrian]

22. I agree. We need to pursue every means possible towards that end. - n/t

[lala_rawraw]

23. sadly

we are boiled frogs... the Iran plan cannot be stopped now without a Congressional intervention of massive proportion. they are late to the game. i have been saying this for god knows how long, to react now, with the plans under way is most alarming to me. impeachment will take too long. ides of march at latest.

[donkeyotay]

36. If we or the congress or anyone is going to stop this madness

they'd better hurry. From Keith Olbermann's comment last night:

And you offer us nothing to justify this clenched fist toward Iran and Syria.

In fact, when you briefed news correspondents off-the-record before the speech, they were told, once again, “if you knew what we knew … if you saw what we saw … ”

“If you knew what we knew” was how we got into this morass in Iraq in the first place.

The problem arose when it turned out that the question wasn’t whether we knew what you knew, but whether you knew what you knew.

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/16583889/page/3/

Bush is still listening to the neocons and ignoring how obviously planted this Iranians with the "wiring diagram" to the Iraqi insurgency is. Impeachment will take too long.

[emald]

49. the term "ides of march" almost seems prescient here. e/t

[Just-plain-Kathy]

24. First we’re led to believe

that congress could put an end to the escalation by stopping it’s funding. Now it’s a done deal.

Bush has literally turned into a gangster thug, he’s holding the lives of our troops in his hands and telling Congress, 'fund this war or these soldiers die'.

His actions are treasonous!

[bdamomma]

26. They need to be removed now, before his wrath of destruction

falls on us and this country. This is not a stable man.

Can we tell our Senators and Representatives to invoke the 25th Amendment?

[WinkyDink]

28. There is nothing to "unearth"; it has all been open, apparent, obvious, and brazen.

Illegal invasion and war for oil profits.
Destruction of the U.S. Constitution. Removal of Habeas Corpus. "Signing Statements".
Torture of insurgents and accused non-combatants alike.
Indefinite imprisonments, including of U.S. and U.K. nationals, without trials.
Illegal domestic spying and wire-tapping.
Classifying of non-classified material.

What more does anyone in Congress need, before they do their duty as required by law?

[PATRICK]

30. If this were either

a real Empire or democracy he would be dealt with. One by a detail sent by power brokers, the other by exercise of law and checks and balances. We walk in twilight to conflicting muted trumpets, most in denial.

So "stopping" becomes a perilous imperative, uncertain in form or success or result upon the nation. One prudent way would be to bring down Cheney, again moving every damned scenario offstage. An immediate impotence would derail our lazy boy decider. Another would be ANY legal confrontation that would engage these tyrants totally in their sham of heading a democracy. Another would be swiftly cutting out the spigots that feed the beast.

We are in the basic position war vote or no that we were last time, all other pretenses dropped, made more difficult by each past surrender. Stopping means stopping, not arguing the issues or meeting the juggernaut halfway. There never was any other choice, not even 2000. All the hard nosed overthrowers are on their side and they will not do anything unless Bush had the energized craziness to personally go after them.

[Torn_Scorned_Ignored]

31. Cuff him

US Marshals, seriously.

[The Stranger]

32. If I were you, I would assume that he has already thought of that.

Just a suggestion.

[ClayZ]

33. Arrest Them!

[midnight]

34. George knows nothing, but he knows he is always afraid......

It is his handlers that know that 70% of Americans do not support his actions with his foreign policy.

[Amonester]

35. STOP BU$Hlier

[bleedingheart]

37. I agree but who the hell is going to do it?

I mean really ...

A war that was started based on lies..

The number of dead grow by day...

Yet...nothing yet shows we will get rid of these SOB's...I keep hoping...

[hippiechick]

38. Caligula, Nero and Hitler all rolled into one little man.

:(

[mzmolly]

42. I wondered if our congress could authorize the military to arrest *.

All of our reps have taken the oath to "protect the nation against enemies foreign and domestic" (paraphrased) and we do have our selves one hell of a domestic enemy.

Of course this is wild speculation on my part. But, desperate times call for desperate measures, as they say.

[specimenfred1984]

44. War crimes and treason haven't been enough yet

because we don't live in a country where they matter anymore.

All the evidence we need has been there for years already, just look an all the work Conyers has done. Still, nothing is done to impeach.

A person has to ask themself why? What kind of a system would allow this to happen?

[blues90]

45. I don;t know how he can be gotten out

If they haven't found a way yet even though most know he's crazy then you got me .

You would think that after all that has been done to date they could just bring in the law and arrest him but he is not a citizen .

[Omphaloskepsis]

46. So what is the plan?

Bitching on a keyboard won't help. Any good ideas? Typing and hoping others will take action is lame.

[emald]

47. totally agree. This must be stopped. RIGHT GODDAMNED NOW.

I am a vet, twice over, 2 dd214's, army and coast guard. I volunteered because I loved the idea of the United States and had a few years to spare, to each their own, support each other, fairness in law and business. It's all gone, flushed by the greed of corporations for excessive profit. GWBushit has sold us out to the defense and oil industries and the people be damned. Wars are great for profits, sick excessive morally repugnant great big goddamned profits. Many good people are dying for this system, many good young men and women are forever disabled for it. It is sooo hard to fight my depression in this current political situation.

[stubtoe]

50. Dumb question time ...

Is it possible for the military to mutiny and refuse to carry out the president's orders to escalate?

[scarletwoman]

53. That's called a military coup -- and it's not going happen. Nor should we wish for it.

If there ARE any principled and honorable military commanders left after all the purges past and recent, the ONLY course they could reasonably take would be to resign and then speak out.

But I don't think there's anyone willing to go out on that limb. They'll just keep following orders.

sw

[stubtoe]

57. Thank you, sw.

I'm much more comfortable with your solution. Let's hope against hope that someone speaks out.

[Zodiak]

58. Many have done that

Nobody listened...somebody keeps getting in the way between the people and their need to be informed citizens.

Wonder who that could be?

[demrabble]

54. Think of What Bush Could Do to Us

Think of the power that Bush has.

Think of how crazy Bush is.

Think of how arogant Bush is.

Think of the contempt Bush has for the American people.

Think of the hatred Bush has for the American people (after all, only 31% think he is doing a good job).

Then think of what Bush could do to us.

He could do things that would make 9/11 look like a Sunday picnic.

Then think of how we can get rid of him now.

[uberllama42]

56. Wow.

You summed that up quite nicely.

[redacted]

59. What about the 25th Amendment, Section 4 (removal for incapacity)

A caller brought this up on Mike Malloy's show. Does anyone know about this provision in the U.S. Constitution? I had not heard of it until this week.

[BuyingThyme]

61. Your clarity was preemptively taken off the table.

It's time for real leadership.

I nominate you.

[nealmhughes]

62. Is it just me, or does anyone else feel almost as if street violence is about to break out?

I don't know why, but I get a sort of frisson -- a feeling like a goose is walking over my grave, if one will -- images of riot squads and tear gar canisters being lobbed back from the crowd to the thrower...
I was too young for the actions in the late 60sa and early 70s, but I wonder if this is how people felt just before hell broke loose in Ann Arbor and Berkeley and Chicago?

[timtom]

65. I shouldn't be a bit surprised

if that's precisely what the neocons want so as to immediately declare martial law and impose a complete lockdown once and for all.

[meuniermr]

64. They might get arrested..

If either of them refuses to appear in congress when subpoenaed, and then is found in Contempt.

[Buck Turgidson]

66. The more things change,,,,

[TheCentepedeShoes]

67. Book 'em Dano. n/t

[ToolTex]

68. Assuming they will not respond it Congressional Inquiry,

both houses might introduce legislation in clear language outlining their crimes and imposing death penalties for conviction; making it legal for any citizen to carry out the death sentences for the convicted. Then start hearings by both full houses. Those cowardly criminals would have those big blue 747's flying toward South America at Mach .97 before the first day of deliberation broke for lunch. The paranoia would get them even before their guards could legally drill them.

Just make it legal to off them and they wouldn't last an hour in my opinion. The people around them know better than we do what crimes they have committed against the Constitution and some few might care.
