    Dems likely to get 56 senate seats. need 67 votes to impeach any rat fucker. Needs too many Rs to play “Susan Collins deliberating” role for attention that just drags out.

      Well technically impeachment is just half the house, is just that impeachment doea not mean anything on its own.

      Had a conversation today speculating that there is a non zero chance Republicans could decide to go with some convictions. Throwing a few of this administration under the bus might be seen as more strategically valuable to salvage the wreckage of their reputation. Patel, Hegseth, Miller, RFK Jr all seem to be ripe for some populist scapegoating. Hell maybe even the big man himself, though they might be betting on a cardiac event or similar to do it for them.
