Now, as far as the idea that impeachment would be *politically* ineffective I don't agree but I'm open to ideas that would be more effective at stopping a criminal president and/or generating public opposition to him

I understand this view but I think we should consider the implications of preemptively giving up charging a criminal with crimes because the jury may not convict

@atp.fm I love that iOS 27's rebranded Connectivity Assist has a per-network override, since I want it on globally (where I might face sketchy connections) but off on my home network (where I have ad blocking)… except that it doesn't work. My override keeps resetting when I leave home and return! 😩
Looks like Trump's bold strategy of committing war crimes has once again failed to win over the Nobel Peace Prize committee. Tough crowd.
the reason “AI will create so much abundance we will have a utopian society” rhetoric falls so flat is that the people building it will never, ever share their bounty unless it is taken from them and we all know it

The Constitution allows it. South Korea has proven it works. If you want to make impeachment viable—and so much else is pointless if you don't—then it can be done by a simple majority adopting a simple rules change: vote on the verdict by secret ballot.
A Democratic Senate Should Adopt Secret Impeachment Ballots on a Priority Basis
Such a change, requiring no constitutional amendment, would free senators to vote their judgment instead of their fears

"The most likely outcome at this point is that Democrats pick up five to 15 seats, resulting in Democrats holding 220 to 230 seats in 2027 … That range could shift further in Democrats’ favor over the next five weeks if Republicans are unable to effectively stem the bleeding."
The Cook Political Report@cookpolitical.com · 2w agoThe Cook Political Report is moving 15 House races, all in Democrats' direction, as the worsening political environment for Republicans has made the GOP's chances of keeping control of the chamber almost impossible.

No president has ever gone into a midterm election as unpopular as Trump is today. Not even George W. Bush in 2006. Trump's net approval is twice as low as it was at this point in 2018. blog.fiftyplusone.news/p/no-preside...
Democrats hit midterm high as Trump approval reaches new low

look, you can't just punish trump when dems are in power. that might make republicans do something crazy, like stage a coup, illegally shred the federal bureaucracy, or even vstart abducting people off the street and extraditing them to torture sites all over the world

Mark today as the first time Trump's approval rating dropped into the 20s.
Absolutely amazing that Trump is viewed as so untrustworthy that not one in five people will support the promise of free money
