Me neither. They'll keep McConnell's rotting corpse connected to life support machines to avoid a special election.

Just think of the resources and personnel being devoted to keeping his corpse out of the ground and realize the statistical certainty that there's that many fewer minutes those doctor, nurses and aides could have helped someone who definitely meets all the criteria for being 1. alive and 2. human instead of whatever thing republicans are.

From The New York Times:
(He) moved on Monday to force a vote this week on impeaching Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, accusing him of violating the Constitution and federal law by ignoring the will of Congress in his conduct of the war with Iran and other military operations.
The resolution, which includes eight articles of impeachment, sets up the first post-election test of Republican resolve and loyalty to the Trump administration in the aftermath of their devastating midterm losses.

There's writing on the electoral wall, but I wouldn't look at anything actually happening until the new Congress is sworn in. Even then, there's enough members of the GOP in the Senate that actual removal will be on the table. These guys don't have the shame to consider stepping down before a trial in the senate. They're going to claim they're being persecuted the whole time, just like Trump does.
I have higher hopes that many members of the current administration will be criminally prosecuted than that Congress find any meaningful relief.
The perfect resolution would be for some future administration to allow boots-on-ground enforcement actions by the ICC so that at least Hegseth and Steven Miller to be prosecuted at the Hague.

So this is a "lame duck" congress (whereas before, it was just lame).
How many of the outgoing Repugnicans are going to take this opportunistic opportunity to desert Trump,
after blindly supporting him in goose-step for years?
