Mystal:

Here's a question: Why would any president ever be impeached now? If presidents are absolutely immune from prosecution for "high crimes," then what's the theory of a future impeachment? "The President is allowed to do this, but we don't like it"?

Like, remember when Mitch McConnell argued that they *didn't* have to convict Trump in the Senate because he remains legally accountable for all he did as President?

That, turns out, was a lie.

@GottaLaff I'm more and more of the belief that all we're seeing here has been carefully plotted over a number of years by a clique of very shrewd and very evil persons around Donald J. Trump.
That is probably the REAL swamp.

@Eetschrijver Oh, it goes way beyond that. They've been planning this for decades.

@GottaLaff Not unlikely at all. I was probably afraid of sounding like a conspiracy nut. When do you think it started? When those Florida votes were tossed out?

@Eetschrijver @GottaLaff Way before that. My dad was movement conservative, and he was recruited in 1938 off the San Francisco docs. He first told me about the plan in 1968 in chilling detail. It’s just taken them this long to get to it because voters have allowed them to gain the power to do so. And yes, they were warned.

@eilonwy @Eetschrijver @GottaLaff conservative imperialists have been trying to steer this way for at least 30 years or more. Roberts was clearly a plant, and it pays dividends now.
