Must-Read: McCarthy: Military Lawfare is a Red Line

I agree with absolutely everything in this. Even the legal points I wasn't previously aware of comport with my half-assed understanding of the law in question.

   I'm quoting virtually nothing from it because I ended up quoting the whole thing. Instead, I'll quote just this minor, but extremely accurate, bit:

True to his nature, when Democrats light a fire Trump raises it to a conflagration.

   Again and again and again. Most notably, Dems have raised lawfare to a loathsome art...Trump grabs their easel and bashes them them over the head with it...

   Expanding this madness into military lawfare is beyond the pale.

   And, as McCarthy almost says: his erratic governance has likely already lost him the House. In which case he'll almost certainly be impeached for whatever reason the Dems can cook up--not that they'll be lacking predicates. He may even lose the Senate--in which case he could even be convicted. And if you think the rabid red MAGA crowd is loony now, just wait til that goes down...

   Me, I prefer to get rid of Trump and replace him with Vance...though I'm mostly for whatever will minimize Democrat power for another substantial chunk of time. (Still hoping they'll return to their senses.) Trump remaining in power with a Dem house would seem like a good option--the Pub House certainly isn't doing much. And it isn't doing anything to control Trump.

   One thing I do disagree with McCarthy about: he guesses that, to the extent that the "Seditious Six" had anything at all specific in mind so far as "illegal orders" went, it was blowing up drug boats. I guess they meant to allude to National Guardsmen in DC and other cities. But who knows? They were mostly just whining Orange Man bad...same as normal.

   And one addition: I think there's a better than even chance that the real point of the video was to elicit a Trumpian overreaction. McCarthy's right that this is the normal pattern of Trump's Presidency: Dems do something shitty, Trump does something shittier--or at least more overtly shitty. The Dems know they can get Trump to self-destruct by pulling stunts like this. And they're willing to accept the resultant harm to the country as basically a cost of doing business.

   Well, I knew who I was voting for. And this is him. The good and the bad.
