With the arrest of a judge, we can't play "that won't work anymore" - we need to try to get order back. This is the quickest way there, and all within the constitution.

  1. Get 4 or 5 Republicans in the house to caucus with Democrats and put in a new Speaker - someone who will be committed to righting the ship, no other big agenda. And the speaker can be literally ANYONE in the US

  2. Impeach Trump and Vance together in the house

  3. Push it to the Senate. By then the country should be rallying in support of the move. We need 15 R Senators to vote for it - we have five who have already voted against Trump's nominees - McConnell, Collins, Murkowski, Budd, and Paul.

We could have our country back, but we need roughly 20 republicans to do it. We should all be calling any republicans who might crack and pressing for this to happen.

We're never going to get 4 Republican representatives, much less 15 Republican Senators. How many times since January have we said, "Surely, Trump will cross a red line and Republicans will turn on him!"? He has manipulated the stock market, crashed the economy, defied the courts, renditioned innocent people to foreign gulags, and yet Republicans in the House and Senate have at best done nothing and at worst defended his actions. The Republicans have no red line and we need to stop hoping that they will ever do the right thing unless it is in their own self-interests.

The only logical conclusion is these are not things republican senators are concerned about, as long as they're not sending white cis Christians to the concertration camps.

There's no point to giving up without trying. If they're making us miserable then we need to do the same to them.

I love playing Super Mario Brothers, it is my favourite game. Many others should play Super Mario Brothers. It is a fun game.
