Democrat politicians continue to spiral deeper into insanity as a response to Donald Trump having the audacity to be president. As I wrote recently, they aren’t supposed to lose even when they lose, and the pushback on the bureaucratic status quo that has kept them in perpetual power has them freaking out.

So what’s their latest brilliant idea? Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD), who has placed himself at the forefront of the “resistance” to Trump for years, is now suggesting Elon Musk could be “impeached” for having “usurped the powers of the presidency.”
Don’t ask questions. Just roll with it.

RASKIN: The public does not like the idea that a guy who would not even be constitutionally eligible to run for president is acting as president. A guy who, if he were president, would be impeached immediately, because he’s taking billions of dollars in foreign government emoluments from all over the world, and some people have even been talking about impeaching president Elon Musk right now, you know, on the theory that he’s usurped the powers of the presidency.
How exactly would someone who doesn’t serve in a Senate-confirmed role be “impeached?” Raskin doesn’t bother to explain that nor did anyone on MSNBC get around to asking him as he spouted his ridiculous talking points. But hey, if there’s some little-known provision I’m not aware of, I highly encourage Democrats to go down this path. I want them running headlong into every brick wall they see, and the idea that the “public does not like” what Musk is doing is laughable.
President Donald Trump, who Musk is working for, currently enjoys his highest approval ratings ever. Meanwhile, Raskin’s Democratic Party is at its lowest approval in history. I also love the swipe at Musk not being eligible to run for president, as if Democrats have ever cared about immigration status. Let a guy start cutting federal spending, though, and they are suddenly outspoken nativists. Funny how that works, right?
To be clear, Musk is not the president. He has not “usurped the powers of the presidency.” He is doing exactly what the White House wants him to do, and there is no evidence the “public” wants him to stop. Raskin is operating in a fantasyland where American voters regret their decision last November. They don’t, and the last thing they want is a return to power for the party that tried to burn the country to the ground in pursuit of their far-left ideological whims.
Democrats have learned absolutely nothing from the drubbing they received. All they had to do was take a deep breath and operate with some sense of political strategy if they wanted to regain their footing. They just can’t do it, though. All they know how to do is chase the next buzzsaw to stick their rhetorical head in. What Raskin is suggesting is a cry for help from a Democratic Party that has completely lost any identity it had, and its not finding it anytime soon.
