I'm sure the Republicans in control of the House and Senate will get right on that. I can't roll my eyes hard enough.
When Nixon was forced by the Supreme Court to produce the tapes (as opposed to the transcripts he had offered), shortly thereafter, once the tapes had been reviewed, it became clear that Nixon would be impeached.
A delegation of Republican representatives went to Nixon at the White House (several of whom were some of his most ardent supporters)and informed him that if he did not resign the house would vote to impeach, and the senate was likely to convict.
Back then there was a much stronger lean towards country over party, as well as a sense that facts existed. We also had a president, who - despite being evil in so many other ways - had actually read the constitution, and believed in the founding principles of the nation.
There were many heroes during Watergate. Among them, Sam Ervin (Democrat) in the Senate, and Howard Baker (Republican) - chair of the Senate Watergate Committee.
Soon, Trump will do something that will ensure that none of the current Republican house members can get reelected. Once that happens, support will collapse in the house and he will be impeached, convicted, and removed from office.
They will then put the couch-fucker on a very short leash, since he does not command nearly the kind of frothing, insane, mindless, idolatry that the Orange Cheeto currently enjoys.
At the end of the day, impeachment is a political act. Put all the GOP house reps in peril for the midterms and they will drop Krasnov like hot rock.
You assume there will still be real elections. There has still been no investigation of the odd increase in bullet ballots (just president votes) in swing areas. Elon and Musk continue unimpeded while Republicans are avoiding their town halls to speak to it.
Yeah, I think the bullet ballots percentage anomaly is the smoking gun. I think at least a couple of the swing states will quietly investigate. Nothing would please me more than to see their scheme exposed. People really have no idea how few ballets and precincts needed to be compromised for them to have gotten the swing states this time. REALLY close in so many. 7.5% bullet ballots in swing states compared with more like 1% in the no swing states right next door.
I love how Trump is suing Ann Selzer, the pollster for the Des Moines Register in Iowa, because she put out a poll showing Harris winning Iowa. He’d better be careful. If she goes back and validates her poll, she should be able to pinpoint exactly which precincts produced the anomalies.
We need to keep the visibility up on that.
They're not planning on having further elections.
