Still no calls for impeachment as the president treats us all as fools by driving democracy into a ditch?

Plenty of people who are also in the popularist "you can't change people's cultural values" sphere aren't realizing that having zero social trust, extreme moral particularism, and thinking everything is zero sum is crucial to the worldview of low info conspiracy peasant types

Is Trump like a black hole? Pulling all the unthinking, traitorous, sycophants into his orbit of undemocratic, unAmerican behavior.
There are very few who don’t know better. What is the allure? I don’t see it.
Hanging on to a sinking ideology is not wise.
Drowning is inevitable.

So we’ve seen plain clothes, ice agents arrest grad students, a mayor and countless others. Are they doing it to scare us? Are they doing it to distract us? Or are they doing it because they want to make a case for the “abolish ice” movement?

Stephen Miller serves a deranged authoritarian who thinks he is all powerful and can do whatever he wants. He is wrong. Our job as lawyers is to stand up to him and defeat him in court.
I, for one, will never bow down or seek a deal with Trump. I will stand tall and fight.

Today, a Trump-appointed federal judge ruled that Allison Riggs is the legitimately-elected winner of the NC supreme court race
As our @sddaction.bsky.social amicus brief argued, Jeff Griffin's calls to throw out thousands of votes are UNCONSTITUTIONAL
It's time for him to concede

Am I worried about a trump third term?
Not really.
Perhaps if he was healthy enough to live through this term.
Actually, he is impeachable. But first, the people in charge of congress may want to start paying attention. As far as we can see, that is unlikely.

How long does the shredding of our democracy go on? Impeachable offenses? Disdain for the rule of law? Using the White House as an ATM? Trump is only immune for official acts, not any act.
