What should the blue wave do?

If there actually is one, I mean, of course.

The Republicans having trampled collegiality and bipartisanship into the ground, I have no more interest in it than they do.

If the Democrats in Congress have to act with little or no Republican support, so be it.

In fact, the desire for such support should play no part in determining their agenda.

Better to let both the congressional GOP and the president show their true colors through their votes and his vetoes.

If their numbers in Congress allow it, the Democrats should undo as much as they can of the damage done by Bozo and the Republican Party, most definitely including tax increases on the rich to avoid the huge increases to the deficit and the national debt programmed in by the GOP.

Making DACA the law would be good.

Sending to the states an amendment to repeal the Second Amendment - without the customary 7 year time limit - would be good.

Undoing the damage to Obamacare, CHIP, food stamps, welfare, the VA, the EPA, and the Department of State ought to be priorities, as well as making Medicaid expansion more attractive for states.

And then they can pass increases in Social Security benefits, plug the donut hole in Medicare Part D, and reduce both the Part B premium and the massive share of the cost of care that currently falls on patients with so-called "traditional Medicare".

Only after at least attempting as much of the above as possible - Trump will doubtless veto most or even all of it, and the congressional GOP will vote against all of it - should the Democrats move on to what will surely paralyze the Congress utterly for the rest of Trump's first term, at least, an effort at impeachment that cannot actually succeed unless the Democrats win not only a majority of seats in the house so they can set the process in motion but 67 seats in the senate so they can actually fire the president.

And I am far from saying they should attempt the thing only if they do win both a majority in the house and at least 67 seats in the senate.

Once the GOP and Bozo have again shown what they are about through their votes and his vetoes, it will be just as well to dirty them all up as much as possible heading into the presidential election of 2020.

To actually undo any of the damage, already done and yet to come, by the GOP and the Duce, the Democrats have to win and win big in 2020.

Do not expect Bozo to resign, and do not expect his base to reject the lies that it's all a witch hunt and that all eventual allegations of actual crime by the president are just lies coming from "the deep state", the people and institutions of the federal government.

Do not be surprised if Trump ends up pardoning in advance a great many people, possibly including himself.

What could he lose by rolling the dice?

Or if Mike Pence does a whole lot of pardoning, including of Bozo, if Trump is forced out.

I assume, of course, that Bozo's public behavior has already and for quite a while included obstruction of justice several times enacted before the eyes of all the world, and that Mueller will prove crimes not only by many people around Trump but by Trump himself, no doubt including but not limited to illegally lying on multiple occasions.

And do not expect Trump to settle for one term, or to be defeated in the primary season by some non-Buchananite Republican challenger.

Update.

Watching the rebroadcast of Rachel's Friday show on which she compared Bozo's efforts to "fuck with" Jeff Bezos through attacks on Amazon, to avenge the Washington Post coverage of Russiagate and Trump, to Nixon's felonious abuses of power to ruin people on his "enemies list", explaining that those abuses were the basis for the second article of impeachment against Nixon.

Update 2, 05232018, 1327 hrs EDT.

A thought suggested by the impending Irish referendum on repeal of the 8th Amendment to their constitution is that the Congress should send the states a Human Life Amendment.

Why have the Republicans not done this?

Why are they not doing it before the midterms?

Are they relying on Trump to pack the Supremes with people who will overturn Roe, restoring a constitutional status quo ante?
