What are they thinking? Do Republicans even think?
I’m old enough to remember Watergate and the impeachment/conviction of Nixon, which didn’t happen because it was thwarted by Nixon’s resignation followed by Ford’s pardon. Don’t forget that VP Spiro Agnew previously resigned because he was corrupt.
I don’t think Biden will be impeached. The Republicans in the House are doing it because they want to waste time. Even if Biden does get impeached, the Senate won’t convict him. I’m hoping that, of the 91 criminal counts in various courts, Trump will be convicted of several. He might go to prison, but even if he doesn’t, I really really doubt he can win the national election in 2024. It doesn’t matter if Trump gets the Republican nomination (even if he’s in jail). There are enough decent Republicans left who won’t vote for him. Eugene V. Debs ran for President as a Socialist in 1920. He was imprisoned at the time. He still got 3.4% of the vote from his diehard supporters. There’s a precedent. You can run for President if you’re locked up but you won’t win.
When Biden gets reelected, we need to take care of the Supreme Court. Either expand the court or impeach and remove a couple of members. I don’t care. I can make an argument for either. And it wouldn’t require a constitutional amendment, like getting rid of the Electoral College (EC). Which I don’t like. But states like Wyoming and North Dakota will never ratify an amendment to eliminate the Electoral College.
Right now, in 2023, we have more immediate problems than the 2024 election. Congress needs to extend the debt limit and make sure that old people keep their Social Security and that bills get paid. We should take care of the DACA dreamers. Senator Tuberville has been totally screwing up military appointments. Someone should smack him down. Women (men, too) all over the country are pissed off about the loss of abortion rights. Trump’s Republican Party just keeps digging a hole that’s getting deeper and deeper. They’re alienating women and young voters. I doubt they can dig themselves out of that hole. But what’s the Republican plan? They just keep digging a deeper fucking hole.
I don’t understand Republicans. We Democrats need to vote! Just vote.
