Rachel Maddow knows the historical trends -- every president since Eisenhower has faced an opposite-party Congress following midterm elections in the second term. It's not a guarantee of today's results, but them's the odds. And if the R's do take the Senate, then what? Beyond Ted Cruz already worrying that Mitch McConnell isn't rightwing enough to be Majority leader -- Maddow says, delightedly, "They're already fighting over the booty when they haven't even raided the castle yet!" -- there's one big job that lots of Republican supporters want done: Impeaching Barack Obama. Oh, yes, there's plenty of anticipation on the weirdo right, and things could get very interesting for the relatively sane heads in the GOP establishment as they try to hold back the loons, who know that Obama has to be impeached, just as soon as they find an actual crime to hang on him. Where they think a 2/3 majority for conviction will come from is still another matter, of course.
Eh, who needs to convict? They figure if they impeach him the fury from the kooks they've stirred up will make the country ungovernable anyway.
OK, we&#039;ve given the Founding Fuckers&#039; little experiment 227 years to prove out. Can we <i>please</i> have a Parliament now?

I hope it&#039;s more entertaining than the 50รกยยญ &quot;repeal Obamacare&quot; votes.
It will be a real relief when the government shutdown ends on January 20, 2016.
&quot;non-barking mad Republicans&quot;
Both of them?
I bet John Roberts already has his special Impeachment Robe all designed!
more vomiting and deliriousness
Barack Obama is a thoroughly decent man and a great president. I am utterly ashamed of the way this country treats him.
OK, we&#039;ve given the Founding Fuckers&#039; little experiment 227 years to prove out. Can we <i>please</i> have a Parliament now?
We might see some heads asploded during the process of sorting that out.
&quot;Do we impeach him for not doing enough, or for doing too much?&quot;
You think so? You think these ratfuckers would be any more willing to cooperate with Hillz than they have been with Bamz?
Who&#039;s the first one?
I&#039;d like to see Rincewind show up with a half-brick in a sock, and reason with Roberts.
