Reposted by The Sound DefenseEncinitas Highlands Surfer @highlandsurfer.bsky.social · 24/09/2026A lot of energy into "keeping the powder dry" on impeachment to assure it's power. IMO, that's WHY the power has been drained from it. Impeachment is a majority vote, if the Senate refuses to convict, keep sending them charges. Each time they'll consider "do I want to do this again?" 1524
Reposted by The Sound DefenseEncinitas Highlands Surfer @highlandsurfer.bsky.social · 24/09/2026One impeachment trial a month until he's gone. Make the Senate a permanent court while Trump holds office. Be clear about "It will be this way until we've run out of worthy crimes" so everyone's clear about the gig.
