Pelosi is powerless. Another impeachment before the election is useless. The Senate will not convict. Voters would likely see it as an overtly partisan political move.
Portland Wall of Moms, a group formed in recent weeks and quickly recognized as a staple of nightly downtown protests, was accused publicly Wednesday of “anti-Blackness” by leaders of an existing, Black-led community group.
If it doesn't matter what they say, why have GOP governors been more apt to follow suit with Trump's "denial" approach toward Cov19?
It's true that Trump has thrown much against the wall; perhaps just to see what'll stick ... and not all of it has stuck, but is an election not a time-sensitive process that might be adversely affected simply by an attempt at disruption?
Mr. McConnell: “Never in the history of the country, through wars, depressions and the Civil War, have we ever not had a federally scheduled election on time, and we’ll find a way to do that again this Nov. 3.”
Representative Kevin McCarthy, House minority leader: “Never in the history of the federal elections have we not held an election, and we should go forward.”
Mario Rubio: “We’re going to have an election, it’s going to be legitimate, it’s going to be credible, it’s going to be the same as it’s always been.”
Ted Cruz “I think election fraud is a serious problem... But, no, we should not delay the election.”

Mr. McConnell: “Never in the history of the country, through wars, depressions and the Civil War, have we ever not had a federally scheduled election on time,..but there's a first time for everything.”
Representative Kevin McCarthy, House minority leader: “Never in the history of the federal elections have we not held an election, and we should go forward...with Trump's suggestion. He's a genius."
Mario Rubio: “We’re going to have an election, it’s going to be legitimate, it’s going to be credible, it’s going to be the same as it’s always been. -- except for one tiny little adjustment -- to the date."
Ted Cruz “I think election fraud is a serious problem... But, no, we should not delay the election... unless Putin says so."
I tend to agree with pyramid on the asymmetric nature of the two parties.
But what could Obama and the Dems have done about Garland?
Mitch figured out how to cheat, and then Comey and the Russians made his gamble pay off.
Gotta take the Senate if you want power.
That is why the Lincoln Project is now attacking GOP senators running this year.
If Biden wins with Dem House and Senate, all the GOP can do is use the courts, which they will. And at that point, fuck the courts, Biden should triple the size of the courts and appoint vast numbers of Democratocmjudges. Time to start playing hardball. But first, we need EVERYBODY to Vote, and make it a landslide of epic proportions.

All out war / full court press; for as long as it takes.
Same goes for current times. You attack the issue directly and relentlessly.
Pelosi's deference to political calculation has time and time again overridden any attempts at such efforts. When she relented with Ukraine, it was obvious that only a half measure would be allowed; that bare squeaked by. As much as I dislike Bolton, he was correct about "impeachment malpractice". They should've opened up the entire kit and kaboodle and let it play out organically instead of manufactured quick time table. fuck pelosi!
And if there were Dems that weren't willing to get on board, or without there being a constrained scope / timeline, you get them in line ... threaten to CALL THEM OUT publicly and follow up in reality if necessary

what makes you think we'll have elections?
Trump just said it is too dangerous to vote .
Pompeo just testified it is up to the DOJ (Barr).
Regardless, what can Pelosi do about it?
She doesn't have a private military force run by an "acting" DHS secretary.
Thanks to all the asshats who trashed Hillary Clinton in 2016 and said that Trump and Clinton were both evil.
