The deadly drug epidemic was caused by Republicon-enabled greedy Big Pharma.
Soaring suicide rates are due to intolerable stress put on employees by Republicon-enabled greedy companies: part-time only jobs just under the 30 hour bar, no benefits, wages squeezed, tips taken, and so many tactics.
Young people are dispirited because of Republicon-enabled climate inaction.
The increasing number of angry young males is due to Republicon-oriented talk radio, social media bots, and Faux news.
Barr gave speech day/2 ago claiming less christianism cause of mental illness & drug abuse
Barr said that secular militants, including “so-called progressives,” are mobilized in an “organized destruction” of religion. He vowed that his Justice Department will fight for the “most cherished of all our American liberties: the freedom to live according to our faith.”
Because of the decreasing influence of Judeo-Christian traditions, Barr insisted, “along with the wreckage of the family, we are seeing record levels of depression and mental illness, dispirited young people, soaring suicide rates, increasing numbers of angry and alienated young males, an increase in senseless violence and a deadly drug epidemic.”
(Violent crime has decreased significantly over the past quarter century, according to statistics collected by the federal government.)

Plus it would be exactly the repetitive type of counter-propaganda needed. And it has to be repetitive to get the media and the trumpanzees and everybody mentioning it. The propaganda is repetitive so the counter-propaganda has to be repeated too. Often. Again and again. Redundantly repetitively redundant.
Counter-propaganda works when it is:
* fast
* clear
* true
* targeted at the audience the propaganda targeted

If every Democrat mentioned by tRump wrote the same reply it would eat at him, Plus it would

The essence of Trump-Republicon propaganda is to repeat thousand of smears against someone. Death by a thousand cuts (they hope).
Eventually people don't like the name but are unable to tell you why.
But facts win out in the end. Be sure they get written just as repeatedly.
Factual stories have bones and hang together.
Lies are self-contradictory.
Yup keep laying facts out as often as they go with fiction. You can't fool all people all the time

“Trump’s comments are likely to further fuel Democratic calls for impeachment.”
Because Democrats are above the law.

Sigh. But there WOULD BE a VP. There will not be simultaneous vacancies.
The line of succession is only when everyone above the current designee is out by reason of death, resignation, conviction in the Senate, or incapacity.
There will not be simultaneous vacancies. The Republicon Senate will ensure the timing such that when one position is in peril, the other is securely filled even if that security is only temporary. They will ensure that their party retains control of the office. They will say "But the { sh electoral college sh } voters elected a Republican!"
And tRump and Pence never fly on the same plane.

His biggest conclusion, ignored by so many even here, is that tRump could not be cleared of obstruction. To go further would have been against the law which gives people like Barr the ability to set indictment rules. He went right up to the line and very clearly said that was as far as he could legally go and that it is Congress who have the responsibility to take it further (impeachment).
The reason he could not go farther is that if an official of the DoJ (Mueller) states conclusions that a named person can't fight in a court of law (by reason of not being indicted), then the official has violated the rights of that person.
That's why we have a Constitution.
Rights for people we loathe so that our own rights are protected.
Mueller was forbidden by Barr from indicting tRump. Fact. Period.
