25th Amendment и прочее
Конечно, на фоне войны это все, возможно, не так важно. Но нет, важно, поскольку Трамп никуда не делся, и республиканцы никуда не делись. Более того, они имеют отличные шансы вернуться к власти в самом ближайшем будущем. И если это произойдет, то плохо будет всем, а Украине в особенности.
Так вот. Импичмент Трампа, применение к нему 25-ой поправки - это ж все истеричные демократы, все сплошь пораженные TDS. Для нормальных людей это смешно. Трамп - нормальный президент. Или даже лучший президент в американской истории.
Послушаем республиканцев.
‘I’ve Had It With This Guy’: G.O.P. Leaders Privately Blasted Trump After Jan. 6
"Blasted" does not begin to describe it. И "private" - Маккарти и Макконнелл не женам по секрету говорили, что Трампа следует подвергнуть импичменту. Они серьезно обсуждали этот вопрос с коллегами, конгрессменами и сенаторами. Mr. McCarthy went so far as to say he would push Mr. Trump to resign immediately: “I’ve had it with this guy,” he told a group of Republican leaders, according to an audio recording of the conversation obtained by The New York Times.
[...]
On Jan. 10, Mr. McCarthy spoke again with the leadership team.
When Representative Liz Cheney of Wyoming asked about the chances Mr. Trump might resign, Mr. McCarthy said he was doubtful, but he had a plan.
The Democrats were driving hard at an impeachment resolution, Mr. McCarthy said, and they would have the votes to pass it. Now he planned to call Mr. Trump and tell him it was time for him to go.
Mr. McCarthy said he would tell Mr. Trump of the impeachment resolution: “I think this will pass, and it would be my recommendation you should resign,” he said, according to the recording of the call, which runs just over an hour. The Times has reviewed the full recording of the conversation.
[...]
“What he did is unacceptable. Nobody can defend that and nobody should defend it,” he told the group.
[...]
In the Senate, Mr. McConnell’s reversal was no less revealing. Late on the night of Jan. 6, Mr. McConnell predicted to associates that his party would soon break sharply with Mr. Trump and his acolytes; the Republican leader even asked a reporter in the Capitol for information about whether the cabinet might really pursue the 25th Amendment.
When that did not materialize, Mr. McConnell’s thoughts turned to impeachment.
On Monday, Jan. 11, Mr. McConnell met over lunch in Kentucky with two longtime advisers, Terry Carmack and Scott Jennings. Feasting on Chick-fil-A in Mr. Jennings’s Louisville office, the Senate Republican leader predicted Mr. Trump’s imminent political demise.
“The Democrats are going to take care of the son of a bitch for us,” Mr. McConnell said, referring to the imminent impeachment vote in the House.
[...]
The president’s behavior on Jan. 6 had been utterly beyond the pale, Mr. McConnell said. “If this isn’t impeachable, I don’t know what is,” he said.
"If this isn’t impeachable, I don’t know what is" - ну да, тут с Макконнеллом не поспоришь. Но на данный момент новый президентский срок Трампа вполне реален, и Макконнелл уже не раз подтвердил, что поддержит Трампа, если тут выиграет республиканскую номинацию.
Ну, и про Маккарти. Оцените уровень вранья. NYT несколько раз в статье пишет "according to an audio recording of the conversation obtained by The New York Times". Но Маккарти им, видимо, не поверил: His spokesman, Mark Bednar, denied that the Republican leader told colleagues he would urge Mr. Trump to leave office. “McCarthy never said he’d call Trump to say he should resign,” Mr. Bednar said.
But that is exactly what McCarthy said! См. ниже.
А вот сам Маккарти сегодня утром:
My statement on the New York Times pic.twitter.com/PWi2WkoWzh
- Kevin McCarthy (@GOPLeader) April 21, 2022
"The New York Times' reporting on me is totally false and wrong."
Вот послушайте. Всего полторы минуты. Это Маккарти, кстати, говорит с Лиз Чейни. Той самой Лиз Чейни, которая одна из очень немногих республиканцев в Конгрессе не перепугалась и не изменила своей позиции через пару дней. Той самой Лиз Чейни, которую Маккарти (не он один, конечно) вскоре после разговора выпихнул из руководства партии.
