The Loop
Do you apply a card's text in order, and can you play it if part is impossible?

Yes to both. Exhaust the card, then apply its text in the written order, doing as much as you can. A part you can't do doesn't stop the rest, so a mandatory 'then move' still happens even if an earlier push had no target. Even a card you can only partly resolve counts as used and stays exhausted. Only 'you can' or 'may' parts are optional.
