<sarcasm>Yeah, sure; Susie Wyles among others will sign off on it!</sarcasm>
Kabuki theater to keep Trump in office? Yeah, sure -I could see Israel-First Dems going along with that…
I wonder if Trump can be pressured/bribed into resigning. Various inducements could be offered to him including:
- full pardon by Vance (I assume Vance was hired on the understanding of various conditions, including this one).
- whatever cash he needs to make him whole (such as from his oil company backers).
Resigning at this point shouldn’t be too implausible since his physical and mental health both seem to be on the decline, and he could just play the physical health card if he doesn’t want to publicly discuss his mental health issues.
He’d want a lot of money -which is absurd when you have the option of impeachment at your disposal…
Not yet! Not the ones that matter: the ones with votes in Congress who can impeach him. The Repubs just OK’d a continuation of an Iran war, and both Parties just OK’d more arms for Israel…
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Cheri Jacobus agrees with me; some Repubs might actually run against Trump in the midterms. In historically solid red districts, they would have little to lose…
Trump has lost his marbles. He has no idea what’s going on around him. He’s lost his grip on reality (link…)
He is a negotiator. Everything with him is a negotiation. It would possibly be easier to get him out of office via resignation than by Impeachment and conviction. If the goal is to get him out of office, then this is a path we should consider. If we impeach him and fail to convict him (for the third time) then he will possibly become much more dangerous than he is even now.
Note that I do not necessarily agree with these arguments, … I’m not sure what is the correct course of action….. but the pathway of pressuring him to resign should be considered, IMO, even if it costs a few billion dollars and our dignity. (Then again, I’m really not sure this is correct. Would it do too much damage to all of us to pay him to go away? I think we may need to see him in prison? The situation is fraught with danger to all of us and our Constitution, no matter what we do).
Can you point to a time, post-Inauguration, where a “negotiation” worked with him?
I can only think of the time he cozied up to Mamdani, because he wanted some of those affordability pheramones to rub off on him…
