I have decided to do a NEW KEITH THREAD. I really enjoyed my last one where he demanded that everyone get arrested for insane reasons, but this new one is made up of people he demands to RESIGN.
Now, Keith demands that people resign every day. So to keep it of reasonable length, I’m limiting it to (i) Dems - people on his own side and (ii) demand issued within the last year.
Even with those restrictions, there’s still a lot of content.
As with the last thread, I will name the person who should resign and identify the reason why they should resign.
Alright, LFG.
Senator Gary Peters: Being a pine cone and criticizing the Hunter pardon.
Jared Polis: Being cautiously optimistic about the RFK appointment and also criticizing the Hunter pardon.
Judge Juan Merchan: Rescheduling a hearing.
CBS campaign reporter Olivia Rinaldi: Reporting without comment that Trump announced he would agree to a debate with Harris on Fox News.
National Association of Black Journalists Pres. Ken Lemon: Hosting a conference at which Trump was interviewed by hostile journalists.
Rep. Jared Golden: Asking folks to turn down the rhetoric after the Trump assassination attempt.
Sen. Dick Durbin: Criticizing Clarence Thomas and calling for legislation regulating the Supreme Court. (Keith wanted him to be “tougher” here but other than donning a suicide vest I’m not sure what Durbin was supposed to do.)
(Also for being a eunuch.)
Various CNN personalities: Hosting the Trump Biden debate.
Gov. Kathy Hochul: This one was hard to decipher but I think she was calling for increased infrastructure spending in the Bronx.
I agree - let that repulsive borough rot. Worthless. “Hey let’s go hang out in the Bronx” is a phrase I never heard uttered once living almost a decade in NYC.
Russian Ken Dilly! For noting that Robert Hur thought Biden was old (he was). (Keith thought that Biden being old was a disinfo plot.)
Every Supreme Court lib: Not disqualifying Trump from the ballot.
Bonus points for referring to Robert Hur’s Penis for no reason and demanding AG Garland be fired (but not resign so he doesn’t get his own entry in this thread.)
Jonathan Chait: Writing a column that was extremely critical of Trump but not critical enough for Keith’s liking.
Mayor Eric Adams: For noticing immigration.
(Yeah this one was more than a year old but I liked it.)
One final entry, which is NOT a demand that anyone resign. In fact, Keith comes out AGAINST this person’s resignation. You’re gonna love this one. It’s a great closer.
Senator Bob Menendez.

I'm a big fan of judicial impeachments and we should do it more often! Only 8 US judges in history have been impeached and convicted, and we need to get that number up!
There's this one dude in Nevada who can only be described as an unrestrained lunatic. Here is his story.
Bob Jones is his name! He seemed like a sensible guy as a bankruptcy judge and was actually on the Judicial Conference Committee where he handled ethical issues for other judges.
George W nominated him and he was confirmed unanimously by the Senate in 2003. Good start!
But then he went crazy.
Nevada had an old law on the books that offered voters a protest vote on the ballot - they could for "none of these candidates." It's a dumb law, but states have a ton of leeway in how they run elections, so it's obviously constitutional.
He declared the law unconstitutional, and did so at the last possible moment. He delayed for months on end, more or less bragging in open court that he was trying to avoid appellate review.
The appellate court reviewed his decision despite the fact that he never even wrote an opinion. They reversed him - upholding the law - and called him out for intentionally delaying.
Good afternoon, friends. A bit of "personal news" as they say.
I am thrilled to announce that I have resigned effective immediately from my lucrative $4M/yr law partnership in order to devote my time to my new Substack vertical, THE CULTURAL ENGAGER.
I want to reiterate that I resigned due to me being brave and bold and I was not at all fired by my management that objected to me spending 16 hours a day hitting on girls on X The Everything App.
I can hear you ingrates now. "Oh, another centrist blog. Yawn."
Well shut the hell up and listen a minute because that's not what this is AT ALL.
I mean it is, but it's THE CULTURAL ENGAGER has so much more than that!
FIRST it's not JUST politics. I mean yes Ivanka Trump's dad might come up on occasion, but TO WIN IN POLITICS FIRST YOU AHVE TO WIN IN CULTURE WHICH IS AN IDEA I JUST CAME UP WITH NOW.
That means we're going to have HUMOR. We're going to have PHOTOGAPHY. WE'RE GOING TO HAVE FUCKING SPORTS. REVIEWS OF OPERAS YOU'VE NEVER HEARD OF WE'RE DOING ALL THAT SHIT OK? WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TAKES ON SHIT THAT DOESN'T EVEN EXIST YET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is the beauty of America though. Every President is Hitler. A Hitler of defined powers and subject to checks and balances, but Hitler nonetheless. George Washington was our First Hitler, and him along with our other Founding Hitlers put a system in place that would stand the test of time and allow regular people to put a new Hitler in office every four years. A lot of people don't like this or that Hitler, but everyone gets a say and sooner or later there will be a Hitler in power that represents your interests, your views - your own personal Hitler.
Four of the best Hitlers we've ever had.
We must not forget the founding mothers our country too - Abigail Adams-Hitler, Martha Washington-Hitler, and Dolley Madison-Hitler. Our plucky little Hitlerettes!
Alright I'm angry. Jamal Khashoggi took money from Qatar to write columns for the Washington Post. Max Boot's wife took money from Korea and co-wrote his columns too.
Mehdi Hasan has been off and on Qatar's payroll his whole career.
Qatar invested $50M in Newsmax.
The Bidens are all on Ukraine's payroll and China's payroll. The NBA is also owned by China, which is why Steve Kerr and LeBron James spend so much time hating the US on their behalf.
China also apparently funds and staffs every high profile Democrat in the country.
Now we find out that Tim Pool, Benny Johnson, and Lauren Chen work for Russia (perhaps inadvertently).
China funded Bill Clinton for this whole Presidency. Iran hacked the Trump campaign in 2024. Russia hacked the Hillary campaign in 2016. Also in 2016, Russia promoted Bernie Sanders and Trump until Trump won, and then they started opposing Trump.
Russia organized an anti-Trump protest led by Michael Moore.
