Georgia Senator Labels Trump’s $TRUMP Coin Dinner an ‘Impeachable Offense’

Senator Ossoff Takes a Swing at Trump’s $TRUMP Coin Dinner—And It’s Impeachable, Apparently

Oh, it’s happened again. Senator John Ossoff, that ever-diligent Democrat from Georgia, has decided that what the United States needs right now is another impeachment. And guess what? He thinks Trump, the current resident of the White House, should be impeached—after just, oh, 100 days. Because, obviously, we all need more political drama, right? 🍿

“When the sitting president of the United States is selling access for what are effectively payments directly to him, there is no question that that rises to the level of an impeachable offense,” Ossoff said at a town hall on Friday. Wow, that’s a strong take, Senator. Tell us how you really feel. 😱

The only way to achieve what you want to…”

In case you were wondering, impeachment is a real thing in the United States. You know, a fancy constitutional process where the House of Representatives votes to remove a federal official (like, say, the President) for treason, bribery, or high crimes and misdemeanors. We’ve done it before. Well, kind of. Twice, but who’s counting? 😜

Impeachment Unlikely Without a Democratic Majority (But, Hey, It’s Still Fun to Talk About)

In case you missed the memo, Trump has already been impeached twice during his first term. And guess what? Both times, the Senate said, “Nah, we’re good.” So, don’t hold your breath for impeachment part three, especially when Republicans control the House of Representatives like they’re hoarding the last bag of chips at a party. 🍟

Meanwhile, Trump is doing his best to turn the U.S. into a “Bitcoin Superpower” (because that’s a thing now, apparently), appointing crypto fans to head various important positions and calling for crypto regulations. He’s also, you know, involved in some crypto ventures, which might be a little, um, conflict-y, according to ethics experts. But who cares about conflicts when you’re swimming in digital coins, right? 🪙

Ossoff, the ever-optimistic soul, is keeping hope alive. He says that if Democrats want to impeach Trump (again), they’re going to need a majority in the House. Which, spoiler alert, isn’t happening anytime soon unless the political winds change drastically. 🌬️

Senators Call For Ethics Probe (Good Luck with That)

And as if things weren’t spicy enough, Senators Adam Schiff and Elizabeth Warren are putting their foot down and calling for an ethics investigation. Why? Oh, just because Trump might be selling access to the highest bidder through his shiny new TRUMP coin. Apparently, it’s a thing called “pay-to-play” corruption. Who knew? 🤑

These Senators, with all their high moral fiber, have sent a letter to the U.S. Office of Government Ethics, asking if Trump is violating federal ethics rules by offering exclusive access to his top investors. In case you were wondering, Trump could be in some serious hot water for profiting from the presidency in all the wrong ways. 💸

But don’t get too excited. Since Republicans hold all the power in Washington and Trump’s appointee is leading the ethics office, the investigation will likely go the way of a balloon at a cactus convention—nowhere fast. 🎈

In the meantime, Trump’s family is busy diving deeper into crypto. The big plans include a stablecoin (because we definitely need more of those), and they’ve already raked in over $350 million from TRUMP coin. Because who needs a steady job when you can print digital money like it’s going out of style? 💰
