Michelle Goldberg in the NY Times is, I believe, the first person in the Times to so much as mention the possibility that Trump resign:
…there’s no drumbeat of calls for the president’s resignation. People seem to feel too helpless.
I’m not sure that I agree about the “too helpless” part. Speaking personally, I don’t feel helpless. Instead, I’m flabbergasted at the cowardice, especially by the media and the Republicans, at their refusal to take Trump on. For all their faults, at least Pelosi, Schiff, and other Democrats actually did their job and impeached the motherfucker.
That said, it’s great that the subject of Trump being forced to leave office immediately is finally being openly discussed in the Times. Thanks, Ms. Goldberg, for getting the ball started.
PS, the rest of Goldberg’s op-ed is brilliant. So, btw, is Krugman’s. The Times has published (and publishes) some terrible opinion columnists, but these two are as good as it gets.
