Dems had one shot to get enough Republican votes to convict and remove Trump and it was on Jan. 7. They missed their chance to blow.
don’t project whatever grievances you have on me. there was exactly one moment where republican electeds were shook enough to consider removing Trump and it was Jan 7. that the odds of success were low is all the more reason Dems should have tried.
you miss all the shots you don’t take my dude
what did i say about projecting your grievances?

the electoral college as written in the constitution should be understood as an elaborate kludge tossed together at the last minute for the sake of just getting the whole thing done with

nuking the filibuster to pass trillions in aid for the country is honestly the single best circumstance in which to do it. pure political gold.
if sinema or manchin feel weird about it, just negotiate a provision where all aid sent to arizona and west virginia includes a letter with their faces plastered on it
