This makes my head hurt. You must be correct, and I continue to believe your suggestion is good and if taken will produce the results you predict. Bravo!!
Wouldn’t this wind up being helpful for Republicans in terms of protecting their majorities? Perfect opportunity for their moderates to demonstrate independent bonafides. Might stop the weaponization fund but at the cost of majorities… not sure that is a trade worth making.
I think we might actually get the best possible outcome. A couple retiring/defeated house Republicans will vote for impeachment, delivering a majority, but most of the moderates/ threatened Republicans will not because they are scared of getting primaried by MAGA in 2028.
In addition to the Republicans you mentioned that are up for re-election in the fall, I'm sure Bill Cassidy wouldn't vote to dismiss it either. He voted for the Iran war resolution over the week and has nothing to lose. The same is true with Mitch McConnell. After Tuesday, it will probably be true for John Cornyn.
Corruption is a big theme in the PA-08 campaign. I wonder if Rob Bresnahan could also be bullied into going along with impeachment. PA-08 is more impacted than Fitz’s district by the Medicaid cuts that Bresnahan supported. I think the idea has promise.
It kind of blows my brain just how corrupt this is. It can't be real.
This is an excellent idea. I hope it prevails.
But in a probably petty mode, I think there is something wrong with "less love lost" in the above piece. Wouldn't it be more love lost?
I don't think so? "No love lost" is when you hate someone. So the less you like someone, the less love would be lost.
