And it begins.

"Let's move past thus" "We have to think about the future" "We need to reach across the table"

Fuck these corrupt politicians. They know what Trump is and just want more after a short break.

We can get rid of him in the primary.

One of the problems with the Democratic Party is that the number one quality for choosing leadership is how well they fundraise. Obviously this makes leadership beholden to those with the biggest pockets, like AIPAC.

We need to primary every Democrat incumbent who isn't a progressive in action as well as rhetoric.

If it makes you feel any better, he's still undoubtedly better than whatever Republican ran against him.

I suspect the answer is actually "yes". AIPAC has spoken, they like trump.

When asked if impeachment was a top priority, Jeffries said “of course not” during an appearance on “Fox News Sunday.”

“I’ve made clear from the very beginning that our top priority is going to be to drive down the high cost of living,” the House minority leader added. 

Sounds like he's trying to win the midterms.

Is there some way both parties can lose the midterms?

I really hope he gets primaried

For real. Im voting for candidates who are going to flip the script and show them how Trumps new precedents can be flexed back.

Now is the time for a bold declaration of what we're not going to do!

I can think of three problems with this way of thinking:

1. Trump has committed impeachable offenses, and to act otherwise cedes reality itself. It loses the game before even playing, and normalizes impeachable conduct. For a narcissistic sociopath like Trump and his Wormtongue Miller, this is an invitation to continue to ignore the Constitution. Their conduct will get worse without impeachment.

2. The impeachment process itself changes public opinion. A recent story said that Trump's approval is already at Nixon's lowest point during Watergate. Republicans likely will do nothing, I get it, but impeachment forces them to stand up for a traitor. When push comes to shove, they may flinch. We won't know until we try.

3. The corollary of Democrats' choice to "focus on other agenda" is true here: Republicans can't focus on Project 2025 if they're spending all their time defending against impeachment. Right now a depressing amount of Project 2025 has been pushed through, so ending their offensive is itself a win.

Shouldn't be so ham-tied that it's not possible. Hell, why wait till mid-terms, get drafting now so things are ready on day one. Not like they're doing anything productive or meaningful at the moment.
