I want Trump impeached and barred from federal office because I want his die-hard supporters to know that their only chance of seeing Trump in the White House again is by overthrowing the government. Take away all of their hope for any other solution. Then we’ll see who is capable of moving on and who is truly an enemy of America.

And hold as many votes as possible–impeachment, calls for use of the 25th Amendment–to make Republicans in Congress be on the record about supporting Trump or not.

Is it because of the banality of evil that it’s never a pharmacist from Ohio?

That pharmacist was able to retire early thanks to the extra $20 dollars a week in tax cuts. No more economic anxiety so no storming of the palace.

I’ve got this dirty tricks idea for starting pro-Trump Twitter accounts now claiming to have been activated by the “shameful” treatment of the “patriots” who stormed the Capitol, then handing them off to people to be determined later to run as fake candidates for a MAGA third party designed to siphon off votes from Republican candidates.

What’s insane is that in 2020 we’re pointing out that it’s insane that a cop aided in a coup attempt incited by the President–as though the latter fact is just a footnote.

As per usual seems Melania wants us all to empathize with how she must be coping.

Is Fox like literally not taking his calls? He has a press room in his house. I think any press conference would be covered.

From the article:

Cumulus and its program syndication arm, Westwood One, “will not tolerate any suggestion that the election has not ended. The election has been resolved and there are no alternate acceptable ‘paths.’ ”

The memo adds: “If you transgress this policy, you can expect to separate from the company immediately.”

Since the election, Cumulus has remained silent while its most popular hosts — which include Mark Levin, Ben Shapiro and Dan Bongino — have amplified Trump’s lies that the vote was “rigged” or in some way fraudulent.

On his program on Tuesday, the day before the march on the Capitol, for example, Levin fulminated about Congress’s certification of electoral votes for Biden, describing the normally routine vote as an act of “tyranny.”

“You think the framers of the Constitution … sat there and said, ‘Congress has no choice [to accept the votes], even if there’s fraud, even if there’s some court order, even if some legislature has violated the Constitution?’ ” Levin said, his voice rising to a shout.

I’m finding myself empathizing a tiny bit with the true believers and even less with the enablers like Cruz, Hawley, Giuliani, Fox, Bannon, ONN, etc. (and I was already at zero with these people).

Trump is probably between the two categories (because he almost seems insane enough to be a true believer), but every remaining day he has on earth should be made miserable.

I would offer these people job interviews just to troll the shit out of them. “Thanks for coming in.
Tell me about a time you took a job working for an obvious fascist and what you learned from that experience.”
