I don’t know, Martin. Having fun here. Took your advice on popcorn futures and happy days are here again.
Seriously, I’d like to see Trump impeached because then Hawley, Jordan, Cruz, Greene and other chickenshit enablers become the low hanging fruit. I know I’m dreaming but imagine the possibility of purging the body politic of these enablers, loons and self-serving asswipes.
From a distance, what we could call the “Clyburn option” seems like the best available strategy for Senate Dems: first focus on 1) getting BIden’s government “stood up”, with cabinet and other executive officials confirmed and working; 2) deal with the twin crises of the pandemic and the economy; 3) pass big and broadly popular legislation (e.g., raising minimum wage, voting rights/election reform, infrastructure investment); then, after a thorough (and mostly behind-the-scenes) investigation, hold the impeachment trial.
Agreed on all points except that “voting rights/election reform” is as “broadly popular” as the rest. It’s the most crucial to saving our democracy, but only half (if that) of the populace believes in it, unfortunately.
I disagree that it’s un-fun to impeach him. I have had a lot of fun over the past few days,calling up various MAGA bootlickers, throwing their words back at them, and asking questions like “Is Mitch McConnell a BLM antifa now? Does Mitch not want to MAGA? Do blue lives still matter when you’re beating a cop’s brains out with a fire extinguisher, or do you only love cops when they’re beating up black people?” They get angry and slam down the phone. Then I call back, and when they wont answer I leave voicemails. Sometimes I leave 5 or… Read more »

When do the new GA senators get seated? Why have the new Reps already been sworn in and not the senators? What happens if it is proven that some Reps actively helped the insurrection – giving some recce tours on 5th, tweeting current locations, etc.? Does the House (and Senate) have a procedure for expulsion? All of this will keep the outrage machines humming… Until we rid ourselves of Faux Noise and its wannabes, the Republic is in an unstable equilibrium! I remember Herman Wouk, the novelist doing an artist-in-residence stint at Caltech while writing his book “The Language God… Read more »
Georgia Senators seating waiting for certification of the runoff election outcome.
I would love to see him tossed out and denied future office but I doubt there is enough support to do it. these republican pukes see no wrong, so getting 17 of them is going to be hard. So lets get on with it. In a few days he will be gone. And his enablers will still be here. Shitty I know but there it is.
My guess is they’ll come to regret not getting rid of him when they could have. That’s why I think there’s a good chance they’ll do it. McConnell isn’t stupid. Short term pain for long term relief. What there is of it.
I sure hope u are right but I’ve come to believe that too many of these pukes were perfectly happy with the riot. I thought McConnell was going to go for impeachment if that is what he wanted. He didn’t.
Some of these pukes may have given tours to would be rioters including the tunnels. So we have now domestic terrorists some of whom may be members of congress. Pelosi even called one rioter a “punk”. Yeah you bet. But who was the first punk?
