I feel like this gesture will just embolden them. It’ll go nowhere and now he’ll be able to wear it as a badge of honor for the MAGA cultists “the woke mob couldn’t get rid of me!”
It’s like when you tell a kid there will be consequences for something, and then you don’t follow through. It just makes the behavior worse, and all your other kids know you won’t follow through with them either.
To frame this from a different perspective: practice makes perfect. There’s nothing against doing this as many times as it takes. And if things stay this shitty and chaotic going into the midterms, they may well develop the political machinery needed to make it actually happen.
It’s a long shot. It’s cope, probably. But goddamn it, I like to see them at least try.
I mean there’s not really an alternative so long as Democrats don’t have any real power. It’s difficult to fight people who feel zero shame and also control most mass media outlets.
100% agree about them having no shame. It’s like the concept just works in reverse for these people and their followers. The more vile and unconscionable they are, the further they go.
Even though this won’t go anywhere because Republican majority, I appreciate the gesture. Now do Trump.
They have, a week ago. Bonus, 25th amendment committee from just a couple days ago

I feel you. I felt that way both times Trump was impeached. And nothing happened to him.
I’m was just being old and jaded, I guess. Thank you for not being that way, and for reminding me not to be.
