Impeaching the wrecker again

mercredi 13 janvier 2021 à 01:00

The House of Representatives is impeaching the wrecker again, but there is not enough support in the Senate to convict him.

I don't see the point of this exercise.

This article argues that the impeachment will have more bad influence than good on the wrecker's followers. "The wiser move would be to let Trump drift into exile, not stoke the sense of grievance among his base," it says. I don't know whether that is true. But I think it is crucial to take measures that will deal them real setbacks. Expressing hostility to them is something they eat up.

I wonder if there is be a way to enforce the 14th amendment in court to block the wrecker from running for office in the US in the future. That would not require a vote in the Senate.

I think it would be wise to move the inauguration to a secure location, perhaps indoors. I would not be surprised if Republicans in the army stole a drone to try to assassinate Biden and everyone else there.
