91. If (a big IF) all this turned out to be true...

And the (guilty) party in power of all three branches simply said, "Oh well," and passed on investigation (or dragged it out to dilute it), passed on impeachment, and just sat there...what would/could be done? Besides a lot of talk, which is where it is now? If a majority of R's, who've got access to all the levers of power now, just obstructed (their one genuine skill) the whole thing?

They've already stated their position roughly as, "Putin didn't hack any voting machines (remains to be seen), and Putin didn't MAKE or FORCE anybody vote for #45, blah blah, etc."

Playing with such a power disadvantage, the strongest scenario to play out would likely be a censure or two. The R's are not going to take themselves out of office or relinquish any of their own power. Look what they did with the SCOTUS vacancy. They don't give a shit how unfairly they play. Just the fact that they've kept and supported #45 as a candidate and president shows they'll go to any extremes.

The only answer to this nightmare is to elect more Democrats and progressives, who are both gonna have to suck it up and work *together* to end their differences, if they have any interest in battling the monstrous obscenity that is the 45 administration.
