Nobody is doing that. But if you never acknowledge a win and keep moving the goalposts by searching for the worst takes or people and insisting they are going to win when they're clearly not, you're not living in reality.

McConnell was just reelected. Senators have 6-year terms. So he's doing longterm strategizing for himself - he wants to "cleanse" the party of Trump so that he(McConnell) can lead the party and have power. But he and the others are acting out of selfish reasons, regardless of when their terms are up.

Pence already issued a formal letter saying he won't invoke the 25th.

 

 

House of Reps has impeachment vote Wednesday morning.EST.

 

First the House votes to impeach (which is like an indictment).

 

Then the Senate is the jury who conducts the trial.

To convict, two-thirds of Senate must vote to convict.

Yeah, I'm uncomfortable with John Yoo and his giving Mike Pence this credit for, as @DramatistDreamer says, doing the most basic.  Plus, I don't think Pence ever had a shot at being president even before last week.

 

 

Exactly.

Meanwhile, I'm hearing Dianne Feinstein, who's so old she doesn't even leave fingerprints anymore (tm Dorothy Zbornak), has filed paperwork to run for another term as senator.  Really, girl?

In some amusing news from earlier today, former media darling Elise Stefanik got turfed from Harvard for being a seditionist. After watching the far more appealing lady Gremlin from Gremlins 2 and desperately trying to bite her palette, Stefanik went on Hannity to whine and whine and whine at the realization her career outside of the clown car is over.
