The impeachment is done by the House, the prosecution by 2/3 of the Senate. Until the moment he is successfully prosecuted he remains the President. Ask Andrew Johnson.
And Pence could then pardon him as did Ford for Nixon. Maybe not smart politically but still legal.

Gee – I could have sworn the Dems claimed that the Trump tax law helped the wealthy. Now the Dems in Cali are trying to reduce the increase in fed taxes on the wealthy. I realize we shouldn’t discuss this until Paul Emery gives us the go-ahead, but dang – I’m kinda confused by Trump giving tax breaks to the wealthy but the Dems in Cali want to help the wealthy by protecting them from the tax breaks that Trump gave them?

Thanks for the tax article, it’s absolutely hilarious to watch the machinations.
Imagine the results of a websearch on the hue and cry for raising taxes on the rich over the years. Trump does it, and the first thing that happens is that highly unequal states (Blue States, natürlich) jump in to save the day for the folks that actually run the show.
I wonder how long it’ll be until the California wealthy are hopping around in helicopters to avoid the favelas. They’ll probably drop in once in a while to get a bit of ethnic food from that really good restaurant down in the barrio ‘cuz the owner really likes them.
The real net results from running a single-party social democracy, especially in a diverse polity, are breathtakingly obvious. The only smart moves are to stay rich or to stay away.

That was a good editorial that you linked to, but I’ll have to disagree with it in one area.
One point the writer made was that it’s ‘the fringes’ who are the most ugly acting. Maybe it’s hard to avoid the attractiveness of the standard curve as a way to build a taxonomy.
I keep some track of that, and would have to say that neither the real deal alt-right or the long term socialists or communists act in a particularly impolite fashion. The most hardcore of the former mostly pushes for ethnostates (formerly called ‘nations’) with high functioning citizens, classical education, fitness, traditional gender roles, etc. The most hardcore of the latter calls for what they always have, but aren’t particularly impolite about it if you check out their websites and writings.
I’d say what you are seeing is more a radicalization of the middle. It’s a lot easier to call the First Daughter a cunt than it is to have political thoughts of any depth. It isn’t like the chattering classes of the Left are thinkers of any note and the angry old white men are just using the internet as a form of local tavern for venting purposes.

Oh Linda…..the price is set at the margins and an overall increase in worldwide supply should have a suppressive effect on price!
You might want to consider instead why we have 23 different flavors of gas across the nation depending on the season and also remember that Governor Senile (D- CA) rammed new gas taxes through and their effects are just now manifesting themselves!
