This isn't a popular idea. This is an *elite* belief. There's no mass of voters who recoil from impeachment like this. Majorities wanted him convicted the last two times, and the same would easily poll >50% today. The handwringing about the sacred presidency is DC-driven, it's not voter-driven.
The popular idea is that removing a president to replace him with a non-criminal president from his party, and usually elected on his ticket, is a coup.
Do governors/mayors get replaced by number 2s all the time? Yes. There's poli sci work on this, the power of the presidency blinds people.

In response to Dan Bongino saying the FBI Deputy Director job “was hard”…yeah, when you are completely unqualified and don’t have the faintest idea of what you were hired to do, it tends to be “hard”.

Just heard a news reporter say the Minneapolis Police are investigating if anyone knew that this shooting at the Catholic school/church was going to happen. NEWS FLASH…WE ALL FUCKING KNEW THIS WAS GOING TO HAPPEN. We just didn’t know where.

I’m surprised they didn’t tap Jim Jordan to be AG or FBI Director. He’s got the most experience covering up sexual abuse.

There is only one way to read Trump’s post today about Epstein - basically a confession.
He’s guilty, he knows he’s guilty, his cult isn’t culting on this, and he’s a cornered rat with no way out other than to plead with people not to care about child sex trafficking.

A Trump supporter attempted to murder two Democrats and their families to tip the Minnesota state legislature—and it’s somehow not an enormous scandal for Trump.
The both-sidesing of fascist violence is a massive failure of both parties, and the national political media.

It’s not hyperbole to say that the deaths in Minnesota are on the GOP’s hands. They’ve built this political environment and they’ve allowed a demagogue to spread hate. This is entirely on them.

I'm pleased/impressed to find that this quote attributed to the late Pope Francis (and dated just a few days ago) is authentic:
"Today’s builders of Babel tell us that there is no room for losers, and that those who fall along the way are losers. Theirs is the construction site of Hell."

It's funny how when you ask them why they think Pope Francis was "too woke" and request specific examples, they always wound up describing Christ's teachings without a hint of self-awareness.

I’m about to board my flight to El Salvador, where I hope to meet with senior government officials to discuss the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia.
I also hope to see Kilmar and check on his condition — and remind him that we won’t stop fighting until he’s home.

Before the election, I warned that there is no safe haven under authoritarianism.
If they can ship Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a foreign prison—accused of no crime, with no trial—they can do it to anyone.
Americans of conscience must stand against this now.

Elon Musk isn’t promoting this to deny the genocides. He is flexing on his plans for “his” public sector workers.
When the rule of law is brushed aside with the barrel of a gun, as DOGE is doing, atrocities are a short walk away.
