    I’m all for a “Hot Tariff Summer.” Let the shelves be mostly empty, with everything else tripling in price.

    Even MAGAs will feel the pain, and they’ll know it is all HitlerPig’s fault. Once they start questioning him even a little bit, it’s the beginning of the end for him.

    His approval ratings are already underwater, and dropping. Let him have his way for a while, and his virtuosic incompetence will do more to reduce his support than anything the Resistance can do.

      Then what? Best hope is a Blue wave in 2026, impeachment, then removal. Dont think that’s happening sadly. We got 3 more years

        I would agree, if all things remained the same, but allowing his Tariff Economy to stretch its legs, and make the MAGAs and Corporations feel extreme pain, will change the playing field, and alienate many people who were past supporters. If Republican constituents are screaming at their Senators, maybe a significant number will finally decide that enough is enough.

        Of course, impeachment/ removal would be a somewhat unsatisfying result, as it would only put Vance in the driver’s seat, and psycopath Peter Theil keeps him on a very tight leash. We would be at Theil’s mercy, and he has well established that he has none.

          Mainstream Dems already impeached him twice. It did shit all to end his first presidency or prevent a second one. It’s a worthless step, obviously.

            Because they need to follow through with the second part, removal from office. Impeachment are just charges being brought forth.
