"Third time's the charm!" -- a sea of deluded neoliberals who will do anything to beat Trump except throw out the bums in party leadership who created this whole situation via a cocktail of ineptitude and not really caring because they make their money on campaign ads, not winning.

  1. Nothing short of a large, sustained general strike is going to remove him, I don’t think.
  2. Wouldn’t Vance just be more of the same?

Oh, there are other ways to remove him. They're not easy, though.

Shady Vance, awful as he is, would still be an improvement.

Hahaha, there no chance that’s happening. Wake the fuck up, this is what it is. You can feel bad about it, but don’t waste your time pursuing something that isn’t achievable.

On what grounds? The emoluments clause? And every member of Congress is supposed to risk being held to the same standard? Yeah, sure.

The only other specific thing mentioned in the article was the Jan 6 pardons, which wasn't criminal. The president has that power. Maybe Congress could consider whether to revoke that power, but as it stands now, Trump did nothing wrong under the law when he issued those pardons.

I'm no defender or supporter of Trump The guy is a turd. He's motivated only by what feeds his bank account and/or ego. But this article is bullshit. Impeaching Trump for either of those reasons is a joke. Particularly after all the talk of Trump politicizing the Justice Department to attack his rivals.
