A federal judge has temporarily blocked a Trump administration freeze on federal grants and loans that could total trillions of dollars. U.S. District Judge Loren L.
Good, but Trump is gonna do it anyway and fire whoever doesnt comply. The SCOTUS has guaranteed he can do whatever he wants with impunity, and the only remedy is impeachment.
Interesting idea here. Give the president so much rope to hang himself with that all but the brownest of the brown-nosers find his actions reprehensible. And thus impeachment becomes a valuable tool again.
SCOTUS playing 4D chess? Not so much, they’re probably right up there with the lot of them, but one can dream.
Impeachment only works if Congress isn’t filled with cowards. It was a good design when parties weren’t a thing and every senator was first and foremost representing their state’s interests (and actually spent most of their days in their state), but with a party duopoly that’s perpetually hovering around 50/50, you’ll just never get enough people to convict.
How many people do you think qualify as the brownest of brown nosers? I’m pretty sure that’s 100% of republican senators and congressmen and Trump appointed judges.
I lost my faith that republicans would do the right thing in 2020. He should have been impeached and had his right to run for office taken away. They blocked it because they knew standing up against Trump would mean the end of their career (see Liz Cheney).

This will be a good test if we have a new king or not
How many more tests do you fucking need? The water is boiling! Get out of the pot already!

Yea? But they say that they talk so much shit about him behind closed doors!

Well, that or because a dictator is genuinely what they want.
Either way
Without even reading them, I know what the responses to this will be, so let me just say: I legitimately like your optimism!
I’ll go ahead and sharpen the national razor.
You don’t free yourself of an entrenched tyrant by impeachment. No dictator has ever been removed peacefully.
