Solution is to get a Dem majority in the Senate. 51 votes and he's out. I'd settle for impeaching and removing everyone in the Cabinet one at a time, starting (but not ending) with Kegsbreath.

JonS253 @jons253.bsky.social · 22h

A bill passed by simple majority has to be signed into law by the president. That'd wind up burning political capital for a quixotic gesture, and many would take it as meaning that Dems didn't even try (because kids these days didn't watch Schoolhouse Rock when they were young - "I'm Just a Bill").

U.S. forces are retreating. That's what this means. "Pulled out and returned to their home stations in the U.S. as potential Iranian threats raise base security concerns" is a fancy way of saying the Iranian military has the U.S. military in retreat. This is unbelievably embarrassing.

One-third of the electorate didn't do the thing that could stop Trump. Had they, it might have been a different story. But they found excuses for their apathy and inaction instead, and now use the result to excuse further inaction. I have no patience for those who discourage voting.
