When the hell is somebody going to be indicted for fucking up our country?

[MichiganVote]

I feel like I'm living in a stepped up version of the movie Idiocracy. Why or when or how is somebody going to be indicted?

I don't believe this bullshit was accidental

I don't believe no one knew

I don't believe our money is safe---our tax payer money

I don't believe that a huge amount won't be diverted to prop up the wealthy, remember the 9 billion lost in Iraq?

I don't believe in the Bush misadministration

I don't believe that all of these "transactions" were above board

And I sure as hell don't believe that we are NOT ALREADY IN A RECESSION

So tell me, who is going to jail? Where is the GITMO for the financial terrorists who have fucked us all up?

Enough!

[rateyes]

1. I'm hoping on January 21. nt

[MichiganVote]

2. They won't stop this until people start going to jail in numbers.

[Laelth]

78. I suspect a lot of pardons will be granted on Jan. 19. n/t

-Laelth

[lonestarnot]

3. I demand an aswer to this question also!

[MichiganVote]

5. Our law enforcement is as braindead as FEMA on this one.

[lonestarnot]

12. An arrest warrant needs to be issued and signed by the judicial branch first.

Law enforcement only enforces the order.

[MichiganVote]

16. Fine, the Judicial system is acting like FEMA, And the FBI and the rest of them.

Bring on the indictments!

[lonestarnot]

28. We could do a citizens' arrest!

:rofl: But who first?

[MichiganVote]

30. Yeah, let's do it. First? Easy. Go for the guy they didn't give bail out to, the Lehman guy.

[iiibbb]

4. Don't hold your breath.

[MichiganVote]

I'm not holding my breath, I'm saying, yelling and writing---show me the jail cell for these pricks.

[Horse with no Name]

6. obama has already said he wouldn't pursue it. n/t

[Lint Head]

7. When the artic melts. Wait that's happening now!

:dem:

[MichiganVote]

9. People need to go to jail. That's the confidence people want.

[Bluzmann57]

8. The word "never" is the one that comes to mind

Nobody will be indicted, nobody will be tried, nobody will go to jail. AIG execs take our money and go to some fancy resort...nothing. The former CEO of Lehman Bros. gets a half a BILLION dollar package...nothing. Why start now? The corporations run this country and I think now that they always will.

[MichiganVote]

10. This is a debate question for Wednesday me thinks.

[lonestarnot]

14. I hope so!

[Virginia Dare]

11. Vote for John McCain..

he's going to name names, he's going to make them famous..:sarcasm:

[MichiganVote]

13. Shoot he and Palin could probably share a cell too.

[Virginia Dare]

18. What's the big fucking secret?

if he knows, why doesn't he just come out with it? Maybe they're hiding out in the cave with Osama at the gates of hell.:eyes:

[MichiganVote]

23. God I just can't frickin' stand either one of them.

[rhett o rick]

15. N-E-V-E-R

[MichiganVote]

19. People might have said the same thing about some of the other bad actors who HAVE gone to jail.

Oh, that's right. None of them are Martha Stewart. Shame on me.

[nichomachus]

17. Oh come one -- grow up

You don't get seriously punished for stealing lots of money.

Steal $500 and you get 10-12 in a dungeon. Steal $500,000,000 and you get a few months in a country club jail.

Look at the rogue traders who stole millions -- and billions

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rogue_trader

Nick Leeson, £827 million Barings Bank Nikkei index futures 6.5 years jail
Luke Duffy, AU$360 million National Australia Bank FX options 16 months jail
Toshihide Iguchi, £557 million Resona Holdings US Treasury bonds 4 years jail

[MichiganVote]

22. Well then I hope they smoke dope and get caught at least 3x.

[rhett o rick]

20. When the S&L collapsed I think only one was indicted. Enron only two.

Hundreds of billions get stolen and a token will be punished. Paulson should be imprisoned.

[MichiganVote]

24. Nothing will ultimately change in the US until there is a roll on Wall Street.

[rhett o rick]

56. what is a "roll" nm

[MichiganVote]

71. Indict thems that started and propagated this mess.

[elocs]

21. Reality is a harsh mistress. Welcome to reality. You've watched too many movies.

In real life the bad guys often get away unpunished. Someone may go to jail or prison, most won't. Such is life.

[MichiganVote]

25. Well that's very poetic. But I'm talking about cinder block walls, bad food and one lousy window.

That's too much to ask for?

[elocs]

26. You may ask for it, but it is very, very unlikely to ever happen.

If any are incarcerated it will be in a country club prison with a better life and health care than millions of Americans have.

[MichiganVote]

29. Sickening isn't it?

[elocs]

32. Yes, it is. The question of why do the wicked prosper is an old one, though. n/t

[MichiganVote]

43. Oh we know why they prosper, we just don't know the con before it happens.

[ixion]

27. Idiocracy is not about the future, it's about today.

sure, it's exaggerated, but the fundamentals are strong, as it were. :evilgrin:

[MichiganVote]

31. There's the Mob and then there's the Wall Street Mob.

[tridim]

33. Boxer on Rachel's show just said that she'll support war crimes investigations..

and related Constitutional issues when we regain power.

:)

[Ichingcarpenter]

35. That made my evening..... never again! never again!

she kept on saying

[MichiganVote]

44. And she is right. Jail!!!

[MichiganVote]

38. Damn straight. The elite version of The Sting is going on.

[illuminaughty]

58. Remember she was the only Senator to stand up

and protest the results of the election in 2004. Sorry I missed seeing her.

[mzmolly]

34. When we have a new administration.

:hi:

[MichiganVote]

46. We need a far less accomodating administration for fraud then we've seen in 25 years.

[metapunditedgy]

36. The rule should be at least 1 jailed exec for every billion of bailout... n/t

[MichiganVote]

39. Works for me. No DNA needed. Just give them a jury trial and its over.

[Irish Girl]

37. Shh.. don't think too much .. "THEY" don't like it ...

Not anytime soon. Until Americans find the courage to stop it. But they won't. Not until our currency goes into hyperinflation and our food supplies are gone. Then, my friend, we will see a Revolution. But not before because it takes EXTREMES to rouse sleeping sheep or for anyone to give a shit.

But don't worry. It's all coming.

[MichiganVote]

41. The money changers have disregarded history for a long time, at their peril.

[Overseas]

40. I've written many "please impeach" letters, to no avail. ///

[MichiganVote]

42. I'm all done with please, pretty please, mother may I and thanks for nothing. I want jail.

[Overseas]

48. Yep. The nice stuff hasn't worked so far.

And I still contend that if you didn't impeach this administration, will you ever be able to use that tool again? If you didn't impeach the guy that was breaking international laws, invading countries on false pretenses, throwing citizens in detention without charging them and violating the Geneva Convention, then when exactly would you use the charge?

[MichiganVote]

50. If we didn't support Obama he'd still be a junior senator....

Loud and clear---Jail for the bastards!

[sfam]

45. I thought we convicted a private or two in the Army....what..you want more???

Um, yeah...good luck with that...perhaps we can find a low level analyst at Bear-Sterns, or perhaps the Admin assistant who scheduled the junket at AIG...

[MichiganVote]

47. To be sure. But if the spirit of Americans is that of a limp noodle, what can we expect?

[emilyg]

62. Don't forget Martha Stewart.

:sarcasm:

[bertman]

49. Great question, MichiganVote. We're going to see that Obama will "want to go forward"

and not get bogged down in such ugly things as prosecutions and recriminations that should send the Democratic leadership to jail right along with the Bush Crime Family.

[MichiganVote]

51. If his administration can't walk and chew gum we'll just face the same thing in 4 years.

[Irish Girl]

53. If Obama gets into the Oval Throne ...

.. will the American people demand proper justice from him and our Congress? I personally dream the day where every American unites and vocally DEMANDS our Constitution be rightfully restored. But will we sweep it all under the rug and go quietly into that great night?

I sincerely hope not because these atrocious crimes are unforgivable.
RAGE, RAGE ..!

[MichiganVote]

70. Completely agree.

[dhpgetsit]

52. Damn straight!

WHERE'S THE FUCKING JUSTICE???

.
.

Thank you!

[tilsammans]

54. Our next license plates . . .

. . . should be manufactured by BushCo.

:kick:

[bvar22]

55. A Mega-Million Dollar BOUNTY would get attention.

I will donate $100 to ANY organization that will place a Bounty on Bush/Cheney to be paid to anyone who provides concrete evidence that leads to their indictment or arrest.

A small, transparent trust located in a neutral country like Switzerland could administer the fund. If the BOUNTY is promoted internationally, it would quickly grow to Mega-Millions.

The fund would also be tasked with running full page Wanted For War Crimes ads in major Global newspapers every 3 months until the Bounty is awarded or depleted.


It is clear that the Opposition Party (Democratic Party) and the US Justice Department will do NOTHING to hold the criminals accountable.
Maybe a private organization representing Citizens of the World would have better results.

Even if Bush/Cheney are never arrested, a Mega-Million Dollar Bounty would certainly keep them looking over their shoulders, curtail retirement travel plans, AND serve as a warning to future "Unitary Executives".

It would also put a nice ribbon around the Bush Legacy.

I believe that such a "fund" would be wildly popular worldwide, and provide the administrators an opportunity to make a little money.
I have neither the resources or skills to institute such a fund, but like I said above, I am willing to donate $100. I also believe that there are at least a million more worldwide (extreme minimum) who would also be willing to donate....that adds up to some serious money.

[MichiganVote]

77. I like it!

[lib2DaBone]

57. 14 Banks getting Nationalized on Tuesday with our money...

.. and not one of the Wall Street Bankster/Gangsters is going to jail? As a matter of fact, all these Enron types are booking rooms at the Ritz Carlton and planning their next big party.

[MichiganVote]

74. Got that right and we should just sit here and look pleased? No way.

[4lbs]

59. Nobody will ever get indicted for this. Dubya will pardon everyone associated with it, just in case

as his last "F-U" to the Democrats before giving up the office.

[Initech]

60. Oh they'll get away with it unless mass warrants are issued.

Of course those pieces of shit destroyed our constitution so the warrants probably wont even hold up in court... :grr:

[MrSlayer]

61. In a word, "Never".

They are never held accountable for anything and you can bet your ass that after Obama refills the coffers, they will be back to loot them again.

[emilyg]

63. You are so right.

[Greyhound]

64. When they can find a brown person with no money to hang it on. n/t

[depakid]

65. How about getting a grip?

and not lashing out emotionally?

It's really not too much to ask.

[MichiganVote]

72. Yeah, you're right. we should write a legal brief instead.

:sarcasm:

[rcrush]

66. Bush will pardon whoever it is when he leaves office.

Every president has some really fucked up pardons when they leave but I cant WAIT to see who Bush pardons in Jan!

[leftofthedial]

67. not until we get the likes of peloser and reid out of office

and replaced with real democrats.

[MichiganVote]

73. Fine with me.

[specimenfred1984]

68. Conason said to appoint a special Wall St. prosecutor, I agree

A person with full authority to arrest people and try them for their conspiratorial crimes against America. If America doesn't do it, we'll never get our credibility back and we'll be another Argentina or USSR within 1 year.

[MichiganVote]

76. That's exactly what I'm saying.

[earth mom]

69. The TREASONOUS bastards in Congress won't even Impeach * & Cheney.

Do you really think Congress is gonna do anything about the corporate bastards who fund their campaigns so handsomely?

Oh HELL NO. :puke: :argh:

[Realityhack]

75. Never n/t

[windoe]

79. American People vs. Bush Administration

Where are the lawyers to defend the US? Where are the lawyers to defend the innocent people killed overseas, and our vets who have given life and limb and sanity? There is enough money to pay for this trial!! The 'missing' trillions?

All we ask for is justice.

[MichiganVote]

80. Even OJ gets more out of the judicial system than we do.

[LanternWaste]

81. I imagine it would happen if and only if...

I imagine it would happen if and only if Executive Privilege does not carry over after one's term is up, which is something I don't know...

[lovuian]

82. That is the Million dollar question

cause we have been had

[2speak]

83. When you, I, and our fellow countryment indict them that is when.

[DailyGrind51]

84. It will never happen as long as money buys justice in this country!

[Hubert Flottz]

85. The Rule Of Law Has Been Deregulated and is Moot...

The GOP still controls all three branches of the federal government because the democrats in congress don't have the votes to really do anything.
