You can oust leadership after the election. It’s voted on each new congress. Then they just go away. See, eg, Kevin McCarthy, John Boehner, Newt Gingrich, Dennis Hastert, Tom DeLay, Paul Ryan, etc. Other than the Goat Pelosi, ousted leaders don’t stick around.

It’s not going to happen, but if they 25th Amendment him he’d lose the power to pardon before he could use it.
Impeachment then conviction would too, but he’d see that coming and do it if he knew he was going down. But 25th would be ninja like and he wouldn’t have time.

That's unfair. I'm not advocating what MLK is rightly criticizing.

I don't disagree & and I know the type of person you are railing against. That's not me. I just see this election differently b/c of the existential threat I feel from Trump. Control of the house--to have a check--has eclipsed every other goal I have. I'm all for the cull after that.

I would think the most important short term goal in the next 3 years is to win back the House to have a check against the atrocities of Trump. For me, that's priority #1. After we get that, then I'm on board with culling. I'm worried in-fighting might work against that priority #1.

You're not wrong, but can we please wait until after the midterms before we start the internal war? We always shoot ourselves in the foot and snatch defeat from the jaws of victory with the in-fighting. Why don't we put 100% of the attention on them and their failures and win first then cull?

That photo is terrifying. But I'm curious about the boxes. These are deliberately prominently positioned on the desk. No clutter. And I would bet they contain something or have a nefarious purpose. A kind of menu or "choose one". But I'm not sure what would be in them. Victim gifts? Drugs?

No one denies that. If you want him impeached as soon as POSSIBLE, there's two avenues: 1. Maintain momentum in midterms w/o distractions & impeach him once in the majority. 2. Pursue a show motion w/ 0% success now HOPING it doesn't derail the midterms...then impeach him once in the majority.

Conviction and removal might be a lost cause. But if they get a majority, they can investigate and impeach him. Right now, they can't get past a motion to table. I agree they have a moral duty to impeach him, this is about how to get from here to there. Green's motion is not it.

Ok. Hold on. They are trying to indict James Comey for lying to Congress here because of a vague and ambiguous colloquy about whether he authorized a particular person to a source. Here, you have a direct question and a direct answer that is false: "We have not deported any combat veterans."

I'm not poor Tish James who has to bear the brunt of this, but I'd personally be halfway interested in them going for a 4th and being successful just to see if the assigned judge would sua sponte dismiss the case for vindictive prosecution without a motion, briefing, or argument.

A referendum on Trump, yes. A referendum on whether we want the next 2 years to be nothing but impeachment and no congressional action? It's not clear to me that would be a winner. I think people want the fight to be about stopping ugly policies.

They are building a lay-down selective prosecution case. This case never gets charged in ordinary business; ordinary cases rarely get taken back to a grand jury if no-billed. Only explanation for going a third time is vindictive action by the government.

I don't disagree that leadership is garbage. But, this is a decent strategic move. Obviously Green's move is DOA at this point. Midterms look good; get majority then act. No need to give the talking point and change the narrative that midterms are a referendum on impeachment.

This is from whatever Heritage Action is. Can anyone source this to Trump? I may have missed it. It should be major news if Trump said it; would be (yet another) impeachable offense. Or will they just say Heritage made that up? (Or more likely, they having Heritage say it because they can't)

I doubt she would make it to a formal committee hearing where she can be questioned, but whoo-boy, the questions about to the Comey indictment would be fun. Not that she'd give any real answer to any question, just "cannot comment on.." junk. I bet she gets pulled a la Gaetz and others.

Which is of course why he is in the Epstein files. His best friend (the trafficker) is notorious for giving older men underage, pretty girls to have sex with, and he wants us to believe he said “No, thank you”? There’s literally no chance this lech would turn it down. Of course he’s a client.

I just looked at the "Act". 30 pages. Half do nothing about health insurance but are statutory language specifying that illegals can't get health insurance and that gender-affirming care cannot be provided by transgender individuals, taking specific care to define statutorily man and woman.

That's not a plan, ffs. Why not just claim the Crapo-Cassidy Act is plan that makes healthcare cheaper, more affordable, and better care that will make you perfectly healthy? Yeah, lets vote for that.
