I disagree that this is doa in the senate, but that’s beside the point. The main point of this (and many other failing proposals) is messaging.

With this, Jeffries communicated that even after the midterms, he doesn’t care about this. You are right that in January the democrats will have full control and will be able to impeach if they want, but this signals they likely will not.

If it had passed to the senate, it would have forced republican senators to reaffirm their loyalty to trump by voting no. Since the midterms, many of them have discovered they are in a swing state all of a sudden. Even if none of them break ranks, that is valuable ammunition for the next election cycle. So in effect, Jeffries helped shield a bunch of republican senators from having to make a painful vote.

“The Baileys told me to keep the left pro-Israel” ~ Schumer probably

I guess the dynamic is similar for Schumer’s constituents, but because he’ll never vote the way they want.

This smells like Stephen Miller cleaning house and purging enemies now he’s chief of staff. I think he wants to strictly control the information that is getting to Trump, and Loomer was a threat to that control.

How about charge him with incitement to insurrection?

Stevens voice Israel comes to me in my dreams!

Doubt it. While the racism was a really fun distraction, life has gotten bad enough for most racist white people to just become disaffected. Many of them who voted for Trump 2 years ago will just stay home now.

On the other hand, saying the N word on camera would very likely activate even more black voters. Due to Dobbs and other disenfranchisement efforts, that demographic is turning out in record numbers already. Hearing the president confirm how racist his party is with a single word could probably get the most uninformed people to head to the polls.
