   Hello, grumpy people:

   Please stop active as though impeachment and mass uprising are mutually exclusive choices.

   I say fire ’em both up on all cylinders.

     @inthehands would really like to trigger enough GOP resignations from congress to take control of the speakership. Could take months of unrest to get a conviction in the Senate.

     I mean, if we get off with nothing worse than months of unrest, I’ll be quite happy.

     If you favor impeachment and removal, I’m with you. Honest question: do you seriously believe the Senate would •ever• vote to remove on principles alone, absent the population applying massive and sustained political and economic pressure? Really? Really???

     If you favor a general strike or other form of sustained nationwide uprising against fascism, I’m with you. Honest question: you want Trump out, right? You realize that every single way of doing that other than impeachment is even harder, right?

     Do not split.

     @inthehands every GOP split so far has been kayfabe. But i’m still dreaming about section 4 of the 25th amendment.

     I don’t quite agree about the kayfabe: •some• of the cracks are quite real; they just haven’t outweighed the discipline. Yet.
