I wish more political commentators would wrestle with this fact. I understand the need to remain calm and denounce violence, and we should certainly do that! But at the same time, the discussion needs to be had about what to do when all the other options are exhausted. And as you’ve already outlined, we’re running out of options. Basically everything hinges on the vote in November, and I’m under no illusion that Trump and the GQP and SCQTUS will steal it if it’s any closer than it was last time. Then what?
So we aren’t going to remove him after impeaching him twice.
We aren’t going to try him after indicting and arresting him.
We aren’t going to sentence him after convicting him.
I guess we have to look to the Founding Fathers for what to do, looks like Ben Franklin has our backs.
