I'll say it right now, if Trump leaves these tariffs on (or raises them as retaliation)—the Dems are going to sweep the midterms to such an extent that he gets impeached. We're gonna do an American Liz Truss.
He's so viscerally outplaying his political capital and mandate, it's insane.

Does the constitution have like a combo deal or something?
But there is no other good news in the line of succession.
actually I think Johnson would probably be the least harmful of the three, but then also the most likely to not be brought down by a howling mob. hard to say. he's very weak.
Every one is in too deep to stand still for removal any way other than forcibly. Your analysis, ....
He'll maneuver a war. He'll invoke martial law. He'll do whatever he must. because he understands he won't survive removal. Neither will Elon, pardon or not.

He’ll get enough people riled up and protesting, then he’ll declare martial law, probably misspell it as Martian law, and poof, there go the midterms.
2. Republican voters will not abandon the MAGA cult even as their reps push them down a well.
"That was the worst close on the NYSE in 5 years" means (1) it's still not as bad as the COVID shock, which (2) nobody in power learned from either.
People really need to start thinking outside the box here. The GOP sure as shit have.
wheels are off. car is off. tracks are off. we're just running on Wile E Coyote gravity now
(I take it as a given that Democrats will win the House, where I'm skeptical is a Senate majority to remove)
more likely than the 25th or anything actually legal & taking responsibility for it.
shiv, blame Dems/the help
Otherwise, I think a Speaker Jeffries wouldn't allow impeachment to come up.
I just don't think any Senate in any forseeable timeline will remove him.
Not that way, anyway.
Without a capital-R Reckoning, there is no reason for anybody to believe the United States won't do this again in a hot minute.
A third impeachment without conviction would be another chance for him to claim a victory.
he *may* be impeached. He will not be removed. Not by this Congress. Ever.
It is likelier that some "loyalist" tries to be clever and actually smothers him in his sleep or cuts his speed with arsenic something.

that the right is organized together via money and rage. Well what happens when one right wing donor who is worth hundrends of millions or billions changes their mind, sure another one may be getting richer
but now some of the donors are angry
who knows ?
You’d think common sense would break through but time & again we’ve seen them charge forward with STUPID. somehow, people still vote for them
I do think they get wiped out but they’ll be the last to see it coming
Maybe soon someone will. All I want asked ~ do you still think he’s a good businessman?
they’ll tell you via their mental gymnastics other reasons, but it’s always bigotry
promises kept: Mexico paying for the wall
Like - ITS THAT EASY. 🫢
The one thing that could get the GOP to finally turn on trump is naked self-interest.
After this shit, yeah, I can see it imploding too.
reaching for an extreme here but just saying. what seems impossible is merely terrible. we're just not used to it.
anyway. I think the term "Mad King" would be good to use about now
He's a genocidaire and he should be tried for it
I think the scenario where you see someone try it is a narrow majority of R primary voters sticking with the crazy and the rest getting so fed up they bolt
