Impeachment is STILL an option.

Maybe not over the tariffs [1] per se. But absolutely because the insane stink of this may be the smelling salts some GOP holdouts need to stop looking the other way on the felon's MANY impeachable crimes, not wanting the smell to rub off.

Plus the outcomes of the Wisconsin and Florida votes [2] could give them hope a primary threat can be beat. And they might FINALLY feel their greatest security is not as Friends of The Felon. Even though Dems lost the special elections, it was not by much. The GOP needs to read the room.

And the Dems need to throw them a lifeline if they try to act sanely. It would be terrible to lose democracy over a gripe about a few individuals who took way too long to see reason but finally did, and angry Dems thinking it was more important to see that injustice righted than Democracy saved. Politics is messy, and right now it matters to save the Constitution.

Well, not that I think impeaching the felon would put the Constitution in the clear. Vance is still a VERY dangerous guy [3] who wants an empire, not a republic. But one problem at a time.

It's really time for an impeachment.

Or even use of the 25th amendment, though on different grounds. The fact that he launched a trade war with penguins is one. [4] The biz about tariffs on smuggled fentanyl is another. [5]

Kamala Harris has 69 million votes, more than 12 million below the 81.2 million votes Biden had in 2020

@thedemocrats - I was disappointed when #KamalaHarris campaign did not call for Presidential recount because I wanted to know where #Biden 12mil voters go

#KamalaHarris2024 own state & local race have done recount

RNC chair Laura Trump brag about having peoples in elections office for 2024 but #Dems did not ask for recounts - wow

For the first time in weeks, 538 is now predicting a Harris win in 50/100. With the other one at 49/100. As recent as two days ago they had Trump in 52 out of 100 cases. Also notable they’ve doubled no winner to 2. But I’m feeling #BlueWave energy. Guess we’ll see.

Screen shot which reads UPDATED NOV. 5, 2024, AT 6:00 AM Who Is Favored To Win The 2024 Presidential Election? 538 uses polling, economic and demographic data to explore likely election outcomes. Harris wins 50 times out of 100 in our simulations of the 2024 presidential election. Trump wins 49 times out of 100. There is a less than 1-in-100 chance of no Electoral College winner.
