US Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (Democrat, New York) isn’t fazed by Congress’ failure to move forward with the impeachment of Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth.
From her perspective, Democrats have almost too many people to investigate once they gain control of Congress in January.
“There are so many criminals in this administration, it’s hard to figure out who should be, you know, the order of operations,” Ocasio-Cortez said in an interview with CNN’s Manu Raju on Tuesday.
“There are going to be many, many, many investigations,” she added. “I imagine many subpoenas, and we have to follow wherever the evidence takes us.”

You know I hate tankies as much as anyone else, but I’ll honestly say JoMiran is one of the few .ml users who doesn’t seem to be one.
As in, they’re actually capable of rational thought/discussion and has some decent takes from time to time, which a tankie would be utterly incapable of

Wait what, when did anyone mention swastikas? I must have missed that part of the conversation. What I saw is that they said punks wore mickey mouse shirts. Which is a completely different thing.
I’m not here to defend .ml as an instance, I think it’s garbage and most of its users are disingenuous trolls and accelerationist edge lords who would rather see the world burn with no plan to rebuild after rather than contribute in any meaningful or reasonable way to any sort of productive discussion whatsoever.
That being said, I’ve seen JoMiran around on different threads and they don’t act like the usual .ml user. There’s a couple others too, but they’re very much the exception rather than the rule over there. That’s all I’m saying.
And I never listened to the sex pistols, but there are plenty of punk bands who hate nazis, and honestly the punk ethos is diametrically opposed to fascism, so that weird subgenre of nazi punk is not only an oxymoron, but they’re also just a bunch of posers appropriating the aesthetic and not really punks. They would get chased out of any regular punk venue. Call it gatekeeping if you want but nazis are not punk, even when they try to call themselves that.
Sigh. Anti-NATO and pro-China is not pro-Russia. If anything, we agree with you libs that China and the USA are fighting a proxy war using Russia and Ukraine as condoms.
The US provoked it, Russia started it, then China stepped in and used the opportunity to make Russia completely economically dependent on them.
Russia sucks in so many ways. Ukraine sucks way less because they were the ones who got invaded, and I’m far more on their side, but they have problems too. The people of both countries are being used and thrown away by unaccountable foreign bastards (and domestic bastards in Russia’s case).
It’s just a game to the people at the top. China wants to limit Western advancement on their western flank, and the US/NATO wants to kill Russians and advance their economic influence into countries previously dominated by Russia.
It’s two capitalist markets trying to gain power over each other. We at ml think the solution to this is to bring down capitalism, and the major other communist faction on Lemmy is to do that but bring down the state as well.
Now, does any of this sound like we are pro-Russian to you?
To your final question, yes.
Which part?
Are they big fans of gas stations over there?
They’re tankies. So they’re big fans of obvious fascism and authoritarian ideas claiming it’s basically anything else.
Meanwhile the US is evil incarnatez and absolutely everything they do is bad, without exception. Russia and China do no wrong. Even when they do the exact same things.
They’re not big fans or critical thinking over there, and aggressively ban anyone not participating in the group think.
You just replied to me to explain, in answer to my question “Why does dou9m think that I can expect every ml user to be a fan of a gas station brand?” is that its because they are authoritarians? Like I was making a joke obviously, but your response doesn’t actually make any sense.
Don’t worry, we all know what tankies are, and we all think they are very silly and unimportant people. It’s hard to spend any time on lemmy without knowing about them. I find the people who follow them around screaming about it to be just as annoying as they are.
So for future reference: We get it, my dude.
I guarantee you a gigantic chunk of people on this site, and even more importantly, all of the people who will end up migrating to Lemmy over the following year, are going to have no idea how to even slightly define what a tankie is.
Give me a call when they hold any political power whatsoever <3
The world’s most virulent one is literally POTUS lol
You think donald trump is a tankie?
you… Think he isn’t?
Let’s see, hmm, is President Krasnov – who has business in Russia, who helps Putin at every turn, having secret meetings with him and overturning established sanctions on Russia and low-key betraying Ukraine as much as possible while trying to appear as though he is not, who even has a fucking Russian operative code name – is he, could he possibly be, a tankie?
My god man. We will never know. It is a mystery of the goddamn universe.
