Green’s grandstanding doesn’t impress me much. The guy’s a rapist, and it takes almost nothing right now to look impressive compared to the rest of the democrats. There’s almost no chance of this getting off the ground right now, and zero chance of it going anywhere. The dems’ strategy of outreach while Trump burns everything to the ground will help them at the midterms in theory, but they don’t actually need to do the outreach for them to do better in the midterms and they’re probably alienating more people than they are poaching voters with their fecklessness.

Green choosing to become a creature of the press right now just tells me he’s looking at advancing himself, maybe in the midterms for Cornyn’s senate seat. Maybe a presidential run.

All that said, there’s a reasonable chance that dems will pick up 2 seats in the house in april and another one later this year. If so, they could impeach, but Trump will weather that just fine.

Of course it will.

I have to wonder if it’s at all coincidental that this comes at the same time as the Crypto Reserve announcement. A few years back, Putin legalized money laundering in Russia with the introduction of an electronic ruble, and a 25% tax on e-ruble conversions to regular rubles when provenance of the e-ruble’s source is not provided. An easy way to hide illegal transactions, and a nice cut for the state so Putin can take it for himself.

A sex abuser who’s going above and beyond the rest of his party by doing the bare minimum? No, there should be no rallying around that.
