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’re downvoted for this but you’re right, even though I (and probably most of the people who downvoted) assume you’re a rightwing dork.

    Off the top of my head: Hailey Stevens, Schumer, Fetterman, and Jeffries are all deserving a long and litigious battle at the ICC where they are hopefully sentenced to strict punishments for being directly involved in genocide. I’d go as far to say that both Biden and Trump should be as well, which then sets a precedent for both Bush and Obama to be indicted by them as well.

    And yes I’m aware about how the US feels towards the ICC, that should absolutely change too.

      It’s the same dynamic as shouting all lives matter was back in the day. All lives Do matter, but that ain’t why you’re saying it right now. We see you. (edit the proverbial you, not talking about the guy I’m replying to)

      It is funny to me. The comment about criminals on both side infer that the right has criminals. But I am used to idiots who ignore all my condemnation of trump and the right every time I criticize dems

        Don’t take it too personally, we’re all pretty much on red alert because we don’t have a reliable information pipeline like we did in the 00s/10s for a little bit
