As New York Yankees Great Yogi Berra famously quipped, it feels like déjà vu all over again.
Several House Democrats have recently pledged to pursue investigations and impeachment proceedings against President Donald Trump and figures in his administration if they regain control of the House in the 2026 midterm elections.
I know — nothing new. However, this story is; and it's the most ridiculous example yet that Trump Derangement Syndrome is an incurable mental disease.
Some Democrat lawmakers are also vowing to launch aggressive investigative campaigns against prominent Trump supporters, including, of course, Elon Musk, who voluntarily and without compensation headed up Trump's launch of DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency) before recently announcing he was returning to the private sector. Which, incidentally, was baked into the deal between Musk and Trump from the outset — vs. the nonsense on social media I won't waste my recounting, here.
Rep. Suhas Subramanyam (D-VA) recently declared Musk has committed crimes and would be a primary focus of House Democrats' efforts. Even worse, at one point in Subramanyam's silly declaration that Musk has committed crimes, she couldn't have sounded more wishy-washy if she tried (emphasis, mine).
[C]ertainly, I think some crimes may have been committed over the past 3 or 4 months, and they are going to come to light one way or another, even if it takes us getting into power again, but we will subpoena people and find out.
Translation:
"We don't know if Musk committed any crimes at all, but we hate the fraud he's revealing so we're going to assume he's guilty; then we'll do everything we can to dig up someone or something we can use as pretend-evidence that of course he committed crimes! Lots of 'em!"
Author and political commentator Jonathan Turley weighed in on the Democrats' planned witch hunt in a Friday column:
There is no evidence of any criminal conduct by Musk. Indeed, DOGE has largely won in its fights to gain access to records in the search for fraud and waste.
Nevertheless, after calling for Musk to be “taken down,” Democratic rep. Jasmine Crockett (D., Tx.) is also calling for Musk to be investigated over DOGE once Democrats take power.
It is otherworldly to see Democrats raising prosecution threats against the effort to reduce the size and waste of government. One can certainly be critical of some of the cuts under DOGE but few would disagree that Musk helped find billions in waste, including some shocking revelations about the inefficiencies of our government.
There is a return to the same script from pledges of prosecutions to impeachments. Rep. Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez has even reimagined the “defund the police” campaign into an “Abolish ICE” campaign.
The Democrats are an example of how, if you only have a hammer, every problem looks like a nail.
Resisting immigration enforcement, downsizing government, and other issues are only moving the party further from the center of this country.
As you likely recall, House Democrats unsuccessfully tried to impeach Trump—twice—during his first term. Then, throughout the 2024 general election campaign, Democrats, including then-President Joe Biden, called Trump everything from "Hitler" to a "fascist" to a "white supremacist" to an "oligarch"—and likely worse; not only with zero success; but also likely leading to an even more decisive win for Trump and several down-ballot Republicans than they otherwise might have enjoyed.

Same ol', same ol' — and it's likely to get worse, not better, as 2025 rolls on.
The Bottom Line
It cannot be overstated how the devastating grip of Trump Derangement Syndrome has consumed the Democrat Party. While social media keyboard jockeys on our side gleefully declare Democrat lawmakers "stupid" and other such descriptors, Democrat lawmakers are far from stupid.
Misguided? Yes. Overcome with bitterness? You bet. Have they reached a point where their hatred of Trump is more powerful than their love of country? Absolutely.
But when career politicians—most of whom have strong egos and generally believe they're the smartest person in the room at any given time—intentionally continue to behave in a manner that not only clearly is unraveling their party before our eyes, but also in some cases leading to their own political careers crashing and burning--that's pure insanity, not simple ignorance.
As always, let's hope the Democrats continue to self-immolate—at least until the 2028 general election.
