Excellent work, but calling for the soldiers to be arrested is a little much, n'est pas? I mean, the guy they arrested was a legit baddie, and taking those kind of people out using military force has been morally permissible for decades now.
The *real* problem is that this was done unilaterally, without international consensus. But that is also true for other recent administrations.
I agree this expands executive overreach in a worrying way. What weakens the argument is calling for immediate impeachment as if this breach exists in isolation. Presidents of both parties have ignored Congress’s war powers for decades, often with little objection from the same circles now demanding removal. If this action crosses a new line, that distinction needs to be clearly articulated, otherwise the call for impeachment looks selective rather than principled.
As a talented cartoonist you should be illustrating how *this* "murdering of innocent people" is categorically different than when Obama did it with drones or when Bush did it with tanks or when Clinton did it with blackhawks.
Otherwise your calls for impeachment look like selective team sports rather than principled politics.
Thanks for the compliment, but I strongly disagree. We literally kidnapped a foreign president and his wife. That is insane and one of the clearest examples of a war crime. If this is not impeachable, I do not know what is. This is not a team sport. I hate the democrats and I wanted Biden impeached many times as well, but the Trump regime has done things daily since he took office that warrant impeachment and even criminal charges. This regime is rogue and it must be stopped.
I haven't decided what I think about it yet, but I remember something very similar happening in Panama when Papa Bush arrested Noriega. This isn't unprecedented.
How is this categorically different than bush removing hussien, or obama removing gaddaffi?
Should we impeach all of them?
Also - war crimes breach the geneva convention. This doesn't but does breach the constitution. That allows for calls of impeachment, but not for accusations of war crimes.
Bush jr authorizing torture is a war crime, as is the continuance of the practive by subsequent regimes.
Taking out a despot is not a war crime, even though it was unconstitutional.
It's super cool talking to my media icons, so thanks for listening to what i have to say.
By different, I do not mean to suggest that Bush, Obama, or nearly every president in our history should not be held accountable for their actions. If there were any justice in the world, they would all be behind bars for the rest of their lives for the crimes they committed.
It’s fun talking to you. I do not normally do that, but this year I want to really engage with all of my viewers. Thanks for the message.
What you say is true. But remember, it started with a Biden blinken sullivan genocide, a crime which has never been addressed, and the primary reason we have Trump and this persistent problem today.
I have a cartoon about how I want Biden to go to jail for being a war criminal. I can both call for the impeachment of Trump and be angry that Biden did not face the same fate. That said, Trump is our current dementia brained maniac, so my focus will always be on him.
