      The two impeachments of Trump weren't simply "performative" but served a useful political function (the united the Democrats & divided the GOP, especially the second one). With the current war in Ukraine, fist impeachment especially useful in creating important public recordhttps://twitter.com/bendreyfuss/status/1507198138603384854 …

      It obviously won’t succeed and like every other totally performative impeachment left wing Twitter has demanded it has the potential to create blowback so there is literally nothing to gain? https://twitter.com/lauraolin/status/1507152763720974341 …

      Jeet Heer Retweeted Ben Dreyfuss

      Broadly true that the USA political system, by design, is bad at punishing elite wrongdoing. The proper response isn't to throw your hands in air & say "whatta ya gonna do?" Proper response is to use available mechanisms to call attention to wrongdoing.https://twitter.com/bendreyfuss/status/1507198138603384854 …

          Does the fact that Thomas is currently dead weigh into the calculation here?

          Maybe Dem messaging on this would work better than impeachment. But if there was a tweet or press release from any official dem political organ, I missed it.

          I mean, we have no idea if "Dems constantly hassling republicans through legal avenues to at least force them to defend their behavior" works because we never see it, but it seems to be pretty effective in the other direction

          If only there were some historical example of attempts at appeasement and inaction as a response to a rising fascist political movement.

          You'd be asking a lot of any political system under the circumstances. The crime isn't that Thomas won't be punished, it's that we got here in the first place.

          One suspects that having been impeached for shaking down Zelensky by withholding antitank weapons from Ukraine is actually not something that is good for Trump as of recently!

          Can you do a sub stack or article about Canada's reaction to the Ukraine invasion? Does the high number of Ukrainian Canadians make Canada's response more hawkish? And does Canada like to stand-up to petrol producers, like the Saudis and Russia, because of their own oil biz?

          idk if its bad 'by design' so much as that its dependent on ppl choosing to pursue that punishment. We could just prosecute these ppl for abuse of office, but we dont bc US lawyers have decided you cant, or that impeachment must precede it(&conviction precede impeachment...)
