Just ... the idea that Biden stepping down and Kamala rolling out her campaign—platform, veep, strategy, interviews, debates—that that would be BORING? Forget everything else that's wrong with that passage, you're looking at the most West-Wing-ass shit to happen this century and yawning?

Mitch McConnell offers an object lesson for all the Republicans who think they can tame this tiger -- even if you do everything in your power to advance Trump's agenda and sabotage two different impeachment trials that would remove him, the Felon Messiah King will still demand your head.

If only our news media institutions found "ex-president promises to jail and try opponents for treason if he takes back power" as newsworthy as "unnamed aide said current president gets tired after having a full day of work."

i think akhil amar reed captures something very important, which is that the roberts court rewrote article ii, which explicitly states that a president can be held criminally liable after impeachment (and which has long been understood to mean that he can be held liable after leaving office)

Need Harris as VP for the Senate ties, but also, I think it would help when we have an inevitable January 6th retread to have an incumbent president who doesn't have a personal stake in the outcome

"Politics would be interesting again" Oh, jeez, I'm sorry that SCOTUS Team 6 waterboarding democracy to pave the way for a felon-messiah-king who's vowing to use the presidency to deport millions and imprison his foes for treason hasn't been INTERESTING enough for you. Let me jangle some car keys.

So Substack lets paid subscribers send you messages and furthermore, if that subscriber wants it, they put the message in a format to be shared online. I haven't posted any of these before, but this message and user name combination seemed like it could be read as a threat and made me laugh.

The only two permutations of this that work are: 1) Biden stays in 2) Biden steps aside for Harris but remains in office Everything other permutation of this idea is either a fantasy or propaganda whose discussion is designed to get the Dems to lose the election and usher Trump into power.

The Constitution says that in cases of impeachment, "the party convicted shall nevertheless be liable and subject to indictment, trial, judgment and punishment, according to law." It does not except the president. But what impeachable offenses aren't covered by the new doctrine of immunity?

Moreover, if the president then fails to set you free, you’d be entitled to another court order that says he’s a very naughty boy but the Founders didn’t want us to ruffle a hair on his naughty little head.
