Avenatti is the most dangerous non-Trump motherfucker right now in American politics imo because he is literally liberal Trump. He doesn't believe in anything but because he is Stormy's lawyer and can grandstand he can pull in the #resistance crowd, and he can steal some of Bernie's thunder by pushing for leftie policies that he would never actually do in office. Even though he can put out some good barbs against Trump he is still a rich scummy lawyer and like Trump there is no way he gives a drat about anybody but himself. He's fake populist to the core.

Basically I'm saying that he is in the best position to smother the socialist movement in the US and we need to watch the gently caress out for him.

the MSNBC cable news addicts that actually care about the Mueller stuff are all old and well-off liberals and the Democrats' version of the racist retirement villages that can be relied upon to vote GOP in every single election so I'm worried everyone else will be just disenfranchised enough to get their preferred conman in

good. if the Senate immediately impeaches a newly-elected president for no reason, maybe that'll finally be enough to burn this country to the ground
President Bernie declares marshal law and deploys the military to the House of Congress, imprisons them all for Treason, then immediately institutes emergency federal elections with mandated Ranked Choice Voting with Instant Run-off and new federal ballots that do not allow party affiliation. During the month run-up to the emergency election, the Presidency institutes some "fixes" to the Supreme Court, and the Constitution that nationalizes banking/telecommunications/natural resources and guarantee's UHC/GMI/Housing and taxes all Rent Seeking revenue at 100%.

It won't solve racism though.

on the other hand, he's the only prominent individual to express packing the SCOTUS, which absolutely must happen or nothing matters harder than it ever has for.. well, until this stupid dying country finally balkanizes and collapses

The 25th is useless anyways; who is interested in President Pence?

Ate My Balls Redux posted:

Part of me wonders if the sudden talk of the 25th is the Republicans' doing in order to get Trump out in a way that doesn't take Pence out too. Because anything that takes Trump out on the Mueller front will almost certainly implicate Pence as well.

the 25th Amendment still relies on a 2/3 vote by both houses of congress to remove a president if they contest the assessment of the VP/cabinet (which Trump would)

in terms of requiring congressional Republicans to go on-record as voting against the sitting Republican president, it's not actually different than impeachment proceedings (actually worse since the house needs a 2/3 majority as well) - and as much as many people hate Trump, in aggregate they hate congress as much/even more (especially among GOP voters, which are the ones that matter here)

the origin and nature of the proposal to remove might give some cover, but I don't see how its not political suicide for Republicans so long as Trump remains coherent enough to rant about being betrayed by the establishment/deep state to every media outlet/Twitter

He's not defending Trump, he's saying that the people around him should decorumishly expel the Non-Normal Heretic and then things can get back to the way they're supposed to be, where politics is all just a fun game played by our social betters and the suffering of the people is done in proper, normal silence.
