Remember his wife is Elaine Chao, who has relatives in China.
PARENTS!!
Yes. Thanks!
The question so many people (it appears) never ask themselves is, Why Has There Never Been A President Impeached, And Removed From Office?
Hint it has nothing to do with they deserved or not.
You are assuming he will run in 2024.
OK, so why hasn’t there been?
By the 2024 election we want even the libs to be screaming for his removal. The way that happens is if he stays.
The question is, can we survive him?
That's why I've been preaching TERM LIMITS for the past thirty years. There would BE no McConnells. And deep-state bureaucrats need to be transferred every few years to prevent their setting up their fiefdoms.
Which is why, along with term limits, I advocate that ALL POLITICAL DONATIONS BE ANONYMOUS. You can't sell influence if you don't know who's buying. Americans should be allowed to donate to any candidate or party they choose, in any amount they wish; that's FREEDOM. But to purchase an outcome renders it BRIBERY, a crime.
Why do so many attorneys who could earn over half a million a year without breaking a sweat campaign to win a job that pays $174,000, in a high cost-high tax environment?
Follow the money.
Mitch has all the goods on everyone.
His job is to keep his caucus under control, and he ain’t going anywhere either, not for awhile yet.
McConnell doesn’t want Heels Up
Yes. He’s an ass but he is correct.
Can we survive him any better than we could Harris? It’s a coin flip
Even if McConnell can't get 67 votes in the Senate, he can still encourage Republicans in the House to push for it.
It's insane to let the Democrats cry "impeachment" every time President Trump sneezed, and then have Republicans cower from doing the same in return.
The trap for Republicans is that Democrats know they can be abusive first and get away with it, because Republicans will reject "whataboutism," and insist on taking the high road in contrast, essentially giving the Democrats a free "kick me" every time.
Nothing will change unless Democrats feel the blowback. Democrats get away with free kick-me against Republicans; they get to do the crime to advance their agenda and the Republicans are forced by their "leadership" to stay on the high road.

Agree with all your points. Our political system has become intolerably corrupt.
Because it is the Mutual Assured Destruction of politics.
One party impeaches and removes a President. The next time that party holds the White House...that President WILL be impeached and removed.
The closest we have come in modern times is Richard Nixon...and I doubt he would have been removed.
The Impeachment card is a Fund raising tool. For Both parties.
The only way it will happen is if one party controls Both Houses, by a Large majority, the other the White House, and 75-80% of voters say the President Has To Go. By the time that happens a President will pull a Richard Nixon and resign.
