                                                                      I don't think that's the right move. It would be more effective to impeach Kristi Noem and Kash Patel. Defang the serpent and send a message that if the Trump administration doesn't behave more Secretaries and other positions will be removed from office.

                                                                      Trump is now openly planning to disrupt or prevent the mid-term elections in November. If Congress won't act before then it's an open question about how they'll be able to get through the elections.

                                                                      Can Trump stop the elections? No - not with the resources he has in place today. But the Heritage Foundation's laid the groundwork for a lot of maneuvers to empower a Trump dictatorship.

                                                                      Why those idiots would put together a plan like this is beyond me. Dictatorships always end up eating their own. We've seen this time and time again. Just ask all the Russian oligarchs who have been thrown out of windows or had their entire families assassinated how participating in the authoritarian game worked out for them.

You don’t need the extra weight of a heavy shovel breaking your back.
