Any Accountability At All Commission
Why stop there? Have every President, Senator, and Member of Congress investigated at all times. Whether we think they’re corrupt or not.

I can actually see how that would be a problem.
It's innocent until proven guilty, not innocent until investigated.
But yes, it would be politicized immediately. If only there was a way to have bad faith actors run a government smoothly, then we'd be cooking with gas.
Getting the money out of elections would go a long way. The problem is that more than half the ones who need to choose to get the money out benefit from it.
Maybe a stupid question, but shouldn't the FBI be doing that?
The same FBI that was dismissed by Trump when they looked into him, even though he was totally guilty? Or the same FBI that told civil rights protestors to kill themselves?
The FBI is the Federal police for crimes the common man commits, not the rich.
Impeachment exists, if only there were a functioning body of government left to do such a thing.
Jailing a president is tough. We need to jail their enablers. No president acts alone
And they will be zionists because why not take the chance to covertly control the US decisions more?

If we can't even get Trump to stop running despite being a convicted felon, I don't even know if we can catch up with the next fucker. Dude could literally shoot someone on 5th Ave and the government would go "Well, they're the president, what are you going to do about it?"
Didn't he directly say he could shoot someone and still win the (2016) election? I swear I remember seeing that he flat out said that, I think around the time of the Republican primary debates
Yes, that's where the original quote comes from.
"I could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn't lose voters."
Having convicted felon be able to run for office is a good thing. I don't want a Navalny situation in my country.
An insurrectionist, though? Fuck that noise. Trump should be hanged. He tried to violently overthrow the government.

Didn't this guy threaten to nuke American gun owners?
Good meme
The third political party in the US should be The Woodchipper. You don't vote for candidates, just The Woodchipper. If The Woodchipper gets the majority of votes, all the candidates on the ticket get tossed in a fucking woodchipper and we start the election over with new candidates.
This fixes our problems, in a uniquely American way.
Who gets to throw them in?

They're still bitter about Groundhog Day. I say, let them have it.

Televise this, just as Carlin intended.
This is, indeed, a more realistic solution for America than, let's say, let the president have less power. Or getting rid of the electoral college.
I don't want Trump to win because he's more likely to create a "presidential crimes commission" full of political appointees going after the other party.
We have the legal system, if there are crimes they should be charged. The answer is not some additional political tribunal.
Ha ha ha ha your legal system is the laughing stock of the planet
glances at Europe
We have the legal system
I mean...do we?
Judge shopping and legislation via court ruling have called into question the fairness and legitimacy of a once ironclad judicial system. It's being gamed right now by the wealthy and powerful to get what they want.

I remember hoping that Obama would prosecute Bush for all of his crimes, in hindsight it was really naive.

Right? I hate that phrase as it's used here. How are we supposed to move on when national traumas are left unresolved?
Bush was mostly lawful evil. Trump is just a Captain Planet villain.
Is lying about "weapons of mass destruction" in order to convince the country to invade another so the dickbag trio could get more wealthy legal? Cheney, Rumsfield and Bush agree I guess.
Free speech and all would make lying legal, so I guess you're right... Lawful evil it is then :/
