Talk about a way to energize Republican voters and the silent Trump voter. It's reported tonight that cheers broke out in the West Wing of the white house.
Democrats chances of retaining the House and Senate just went to zero. The optics of this for Joe and Democrats stinks. It looks very political, especially while Hunter (with documented crimes and the evidence in the public realm) walking free in Malibu, CA.
They're playing with fire here and its a lot more dangerous than just political prospects in an off-year election and optics. Its a direct attack on the self-determination of the people, their right to choose their own representatives in elections. The exact same charge they level at Trump and the GOP. The difference is that they're actually doing it, while Trump did nothing but irreverent shitposts. The danger isn't that half the country will be energized and motivated to vote, its that half the country will no longer view the election as legitimate and feel disenfranchised by a totalitarian state. Sort of what eastern Ukrainians feel like
