"surely the third democratic presidency to come to power after a norm-breaking and warcrime-cheering Republican administration will pursue justice against their predecessors," I repeat like a mantra til I collapse
Trump multiple times just today has said the country is at war. War can only be declared by Congress, and Iran posed no imminent threat. What Trump is doing there is a textbook illegal war and impeachable offense — if we still had a Congress.
In every Republican presidency of my lifetime there's been a recession and a new war in the Middle East.
Oh man this guy just does not get it
If you're at the airport and Kristi Noem is doing the ominous little message from the TSA screens, you no longer have to do anything she says. Leave your laptop in the case, whatever.
Ignore the ruling and push the map through
they didn’t do it with CA, but are now toying with the idea that the constitution means “Republicans get to gerrymander but Democrats can’t”

Uh no...we definitely realize it.

This is right. And people hate to hear it, but Joe Biden’s single most important task was to Trump-proof the US.
His task was to destroy the Republican Party to punish them for Trump, salt the earth over them, and implement big structural reforms to stop future R minority extremism.
And he failed.
This is both an act of war *and* a war crime, as it is similar to cutting off water or destroying power plants. It's designed to kill civilians.
In competitive authoritarianism (US right now) there's often a "loyal opposition" that's essential to the regime. They are so wedded to "decorum," they go along with rites & rituals that help regime prop up veneer of normalcy, undermining clear view of regimes actions & aims.
Imagine winning an Olympic gold medal in men's hockey and then *immediately* destroying every bit of that coolness by partying with a graspy little dork like Kash Patel.
“nothing is real until it hurts me” slogan replaces “don’t tread on me” slogan on a Gadseden flag
how we got here
U.K. might lose a prime minister because a guy who worked for him knew another guy who hung out with Epstein. Meanwhile the U.S. opposition party is telling our President, who was Epstein's best friend, that his secret police should get better training so their public street murders look less messy.
Yeah it ring wing culture is much like the suburbs personified. The only reason a suburb is a desirable place is because it’s adjacent to a city. It’s a parasite and without the host it can’t survive
If you campaigned for the presidency on a promise to destroy these assholes, you would win a landslide the size of FDR in 1936, when he campaigned on a promise to destroy these assholes.
The Democratic leaders in Congress have repeatedly shown that they have no interest in leading an effective opposition.
They have no appetite for the legislative trench warfare this moment requires. They don't even have the will to speak about it clearly. They just want to be left alone.
So two weeks away from the invasion?
We have to get rid of Jeffries and Schumer. We have to. It’s unendurable that these men are the most prominent Democrats of the moment. They are two of the most broadly undistinguished men I could imagine in politics, zero fire, zero fight, zero zeal, machine politicians with sinecures.
Can somebody for the love of god yell at him to do his fucking job ONE TIME
they’re going to need to impose consequences that are felt in a personal way by the people in charge
ruining Trump’s big sports show, travel bans for the GOP (or, hell, all of congress), travel bans for rich Trump allies, sanctions on the Trump family
they feel invincible, change their minds
at this point i will defect to whatever country invades and deposes donald trump this is just getting too embarrassing and disgusting
It’s really too bad that Trump’s cabinet are all spineless worms or equally crazy because “the President has gone insane and is going to destroy the transatlantic alliance because they didn’t give him a Nobel Peace Prize” is kind of exactly the thing we have a 25th Amendment for
A proper country
the most important thing in 2028 is electing someone who is a true believer in the project of dismantling right-wing power. if you don't get that, then nothing else will matter very much.
I try and avoid political posts because… well… *gestures*, but I am *still* seeing posts from Americans talking about stuff that the “next president” will have to clean up after “the next election” and it blows my mind that even despite… well… *gestures*, they still think there’ll be one.
Are the Eagles really going to play possum on offense all year just to turn it on in the playoffs?
