She could be impeached for her love of Venn diagrams.
The foremost purpose of the Trump campaign is to win so he can dismiss pending indictments and keep his ass out of jail Trump will drop out of the race once he realizes he will lose the election (not to mention have to face Harris in a debate). He will then place his hopes on someone else winning the election and dismissing the charges.
You heard it here first.
Trump is too dim, short-sighted, narcissistic and egotistical to do such a thing. He hates quiters and losers as he likes to brag about so much. Doubt he wants to join his own personal list of people he associates with being losers.
Man, if those "articles" were applied where applicable, it would pretty much clear out the GOP side of Congress…
I thought I remembered … Ogles filed the original impeachment resolution against Harris in June. And gained 2 co-sponsors.
The new article is not yet added to the record.
Mmmmmm … venn diagrams …

Nope Ardy, it’s there. Maybe you’ve tweaked something since you posted the link.
They're only pretending to be fully freaking out as a feint. JD will certainly remain on the ticket and everyone on Team Trump's jobs are safe! Dear Leader Daughter-in-Law and Cult-Party-Arm co-chair is having a most pleasant week visiting with "Dad" at the golf-club, and working hard like it's every other week in the MAGAverse.
CT! Great to see you on here again. So you think it's all about the short term gains: keeping the paychecks coming in for the time being.
The election is 3 months plus from now. When do you think that they might start freaking out?
I think there is already some "freak out" going on.
However, there are a couple of moments I'm watching for:
There are a few reasons why the GOP is not terrified of Harris …..
1. The border Czarina business:
Half-dozen Dems join GOP in condemning Harris’ work on the border – Live Updates – POLITICO
When you've lost Yadira Caraveo, you've lost the northeast Denver suburbs.
2. The prosecutor versus the felon:
Elizabeth Warren was pushing this strategy. And it probably would go over well – in the Harvard Law School faculty dining room.
Harris should not base her candidacy on the fact that she was once a prosecutor and Trump has a felony conviction.
That's already baked into the cake.
Her screaming that he is a felon will accomplish nothing that did not already happen in June when a 12-member state court jury labeled him a convicted felon. In fact, I submit, it carried more weight coming from a jury of Trump's peers (NYC residents) than a political opponent.
But if you really think it will work better now coming from her, well by all means run that race. (Spoiler alert: Hillary Clinton ran against Trump as a morally deficient, sexual predator and that got her 48% of the popular vote and 227 electoral votes.)
Biden had the advantage of running up his popular vote percentage over Trump by 4.5% (51.3%-46.8%) plus he had the
China Virus HoaxCOVID working for him. Who can forget that little counter on the bottom of the screens on tv showing the daily death tolls. And yet move 40,000 or so votes in three strategic states and the result would have been a Trump electoral college win.Here's my humble suggestion: put together positions on issues that matter to people like the economy and immigration. Platitudes about the virtues of democracy over fascism, and reproductive choice are nice and she should remind people of her positions on those but she also needs to talk about stuff that people are upset about.
3. The dog whistle will be blown:
Yesterday, Republicans leaders urged their members to avoid "overt" racist and misogynistic attacks on Harris. The demarcation is a rather amorphorous line in the modern GOP. But at any rate, even the more civilized members of the MAGA Party will be blowing that dog whistle until he or she (there are only two genders in the MAGAverse) turns blue in the face.
Since 1964, when Barry Goldwater announced that he was going hunting "where the ducks were" and launched the GOP's Southern Strategy, this has been their schtick. Harris doesn't just have the problem with the racists being against her. (Obama managed to overcome that quite easily, I might add.) She doesn't just have the gender problem (Hillary still managed to get 48% of the popular vote even with all her baggage – the emails, Bill's sex scandals and her decision to stay with him, Benghazi).
Harris has the added challenge of being of Asian descent. And we all recall when Trump earlier this year insisted on using Nikki Haley's complete birth name just to rattle the xenophobes in his base about how she was "different."
I'm sure from the deepest pit in Hell, both Roy Cohn and Lee Atwater will be looking up and smiling at the race the GOP will run this year.
Yeah, no "overt" racist and misogynistic attacks.
Doctor Caraveo 's positions on immigration are nuanced. She wants more resources deployed to the border and more help for migrants, not less. Anyone that actually researches her positions would see that.
However, I do question Caraveo's signing onto that resolution that was so obvious a set up to attack the Democratic nominee, Veep Harris. It certainly does come across as a cheap (non binding) way to seem bipartisan, and quell or at least confuse diehard migrant haters in her district. But the wording, amended by Republicans after Dems signed on, contains some of the most racist Trump tropes: migrants are all criminals. They're all bringing fentanyl. Harris is the border "czar" , title that Republicans made up to smear her.
I suspect the border issue will motivate Trumpers and hardly anybody else. So Caraveo probably won't lose any Dem support, and might even gain a few independent voters with this stunt. But was it worth it to further demonize migrants in this election?
It might convince right-leaning and some indepedents who are still anti-migrant. And the fact that Hispanics are becoming more Republican since 2020 could help her be seen as more pragmatic and attuned to her own community. I’m saying this as a Hispanic. Much of my family is opposed to illegal immigration and migrants. My father lives within the district and has told me that he plans to vote for Trump (sadly) but will consider voting for Caraveo as long as she opposes “excessive illegal immigration and border crossings” but supports “legal immigration” as he puts it. Never mind the GOP doesn’t want immigration at all but I digress.
