Holy frickin crap. He’s really speed running the elimination of the judiciary. A republican run judiciary that said theyt’d give him whatever he wanted, no less. I’d say congress is next but it wont take much of an effort. At worst he’ll get a clapback from pelosi. I’d bet real money that the filibuster is removed in the next two weeks.
Musks little brat told Trump to shut his mouth and go away the other day so at least the situation is not without some comedy. So we have that going for us. And Luigi. Not a whole lot else though.
Every day is land theft and murder day in Israel. And the Israelis and their hirelings in western governments have the gall to claim the whole world hates zionists because everyone is antisemitic. Shameful on so many levels.
I… already did in my previous comment, did you not see the convenient link?
agreed, but of the 448 votes for electing dnc party leadership, 248 were dnc insiders, and 200 were handpicked by the dnc to vote, from the pool of state leislators. Theres no way at all to take control of the dnc in any hostile manner. Its just not possible.
See from here in the UK
Sorry UK, you’re very much in the same boat with us americans. Nothing an American or Brit says about politics will be taken seriously by anyone. A literal clown with a painted face would be taken more seriously than either of us.
You are correct. That was a key part of the DNC defense in Sanders vs the DNC when they shafted him last time, in 2017. They are a private corporation with no responsibily to hold a fair primary. They argued that themeslve and won, so its estblished precedent now, and they know it.

Well if we cant get Chelsea Clintin we can tap Hunter Biden right.
On a more serious note though, I would be comfortable with Michelle Obama from the getgo if she ran. I dont think she’d be easily controlled by the party. She had no time for their bullshit even when Obama was leading the party.
Bernie Sanders has said ZERO about voting against RFK and Tulsi gabbard
Thats just flatly not true. Bernie grilled the shit out of RFK where others on the committee gave him a pass, and then Bernie voted no on confirming him. https://www.sanders.senate.gov/press-releases/news-sanders-statement-on-voting-no-on-rfk-jr/
and if you google “bernie speaks against rfk” and “bernie speaks against tulsi gabbard” theres endless pages of results you can look through.
On Gabbard, he spoke for her in 2019, but then she then knelt before the maga throne because the dems were done with her. Since then Bernie voted against her confirmation and is against her.
Even after they have repeatedly backstabbed him, Bernie has always showed up for the dems like clockwork. He’s more reliable a dem voter than Biden and the dem centrists.
Good point, to maintain our clear winning strategy, we need an old centrist. How about Schumer or Pelosi, right? Electing Pelosi would be good for the stock market, and her appointees (whoever donors want) could just run the place, just like Biden’s did.
I might be wrong, but it seems like we’re a ways from right winger on right winger violence.
sounds good, please block me as well.
Maybe we should put him in charge. It’d be better than trump AND principled leadership. Probably also entertaining. Theres nothing more American than that.
They literally did though, in those exact words.
I said you’d use that as a distraction and not engage on any of the topics I listed and lo and behold, thats exacly what you did. Frustrating.
Ok, but no one here said that. Thats a strawman liberals put up to avoid a few topics.
Those topics you’d rather not talk about:
Is all of gaza destroyed right now or not? Were tens of thousands of innocent civilians massacred there with our help on Bidens watch?
If you admit the above then he’s a war criminal isnt he.
Bidens response to the defund and reallocate movement for justice was to ignore the plees and increase police funding, correct?
Did abortion go down on Bidens watch? Did his previous work as head of the senate judiciary committee contribute to that?
Didnt Biden carry through with his promise to the rich donors that “nothing would fundamentally change”?
Biden and Harris were not for gun control were they. Are guns just not a problem anymore in our schools? School shootings stopped?
Did the Dems talk about the issues important to the poor and middle class? They sure needed their votes.
Did Biden have the polling numbers to win at any time in the 2 years leading up to the election? And did Harris do anything to differentiate herself from what was clearly a candidate who was about to lose in a big way?
Did Biden/Harris even bother to craft and talk about a Dem party platform? All we heard was “I’m not trump”.
Do you think if Harris had differentiated herself from Biden, talked about the poor and working class’s struggles and afirmed that the gaza war had to change, she would have still lost? I dont think so. But she chose not to do those things right.
And now Biden/Harris lost but its everyone elses “fault”? come on man. Stop lying to yourself and holding a pointless grudge and leveling these “both sides are the same” playground name calling distractions from these truths. Biden and Harris made the choices that led to the loss. They are not victim here, they are the perpetrators. We all got effed by their incomptence and hubris. Every demographic of voter was angry at Biden/Harris. Do you deny that?
You shouldnt be blaming the desperate voters who have been ignored and abused by their party, while excluding Biden/Harris from any blame. Some of you lot keep saying he’s one of the best presidents ever-- when all of the above topics argue pretty strongly otherwise, if you;d just acknowledge that the topics even exist.
But you wont. You wont reply, you’ll downvote, and thats the end of it for you.
You have to balance that stuff with his support for a far right genocide and his treatment of the defund movement.
Insulting dems is usually not downvote-worthy here. Insulting Biden is not ok with a lot of people. They still want to carve him on mount rushmore. Comparable to George Washington, I’m told. A real man of genius.
Harris and Liz Cheney reunion campaign tour. Maybe if they both shoot their glocks into the air this time she’d win.
True, but pew says, “63% of veteran voters identify with or lean toward the Republican Party, while 35% are Democrats or Democratic leaners.”
So it seems like 2/3 of the military are likely to be republicans. Not sure how that factors into radicalization but I assume republicans are going to be less inclined to rebel. But I’m not an expert.
