ABC decision over Kimmel comments about Charlie Kirk’s killing comes hours after Trump-appointed chair of US media regulator threatened broadcaster’s license
I mean, the only check on the president is impeachment, and they’ve tried they twice without success. There’s no legal or democratic options to stop him from doing anything at this stage unless he somehow manages to hand democrats a supermajority in the senate.
Well, fuck your country for having a political structure once defiant of a King and in 225 years can’t come up with anything better than a President with absolute power who is above the law and can make anyone else above the law at will. So you have a leader with absolute power with support of large religions, that’s a Kingdom.
And yet, they aren’t organizing to win such a supermajority like anything depends on it. They aren’t conveying the urgency, aren’t working to reunite the party, aren’t even trying to be compelling controlled opposition. I think deep down they know they hold no power and will hold no power, but they’ll do anything to keep other liberals or themselves from admitting it. Normalcy is the only thing they have left, so they’re keeping it alive even as our god emperor tears everything in the country apart.
The only battleground that actually matters anymore is for local elections, and they’re doing everything they can to combat their arch enemy: the left.
The reason for being of the democratic establishment is not beating the Republicans, it is maintaining control of the party win or lose. To keep it out of the hands of those populists that would excite the electorate with Promises of not getting ass fucked by the super rich without their consent. An irresponsible sentiment to The Establishment Democrats think as their reason for being is not undoing any of the privilege the rich have taken these last decades.
Somehow we are still letting these guys run the opposition as well. Maybe they will all get indicted in 2027 for false election rigging charges at least. Silver lining.
I wouldn’t say that they aren’t doing anything. The number of letters we’ve received asking for donations to the party has sharply ticked up. They’re getting what they really want from the situation.

"we tried 1 thing and we’re all out of ideas.’

Exactly. The US functionally has a king now. The Republic has fallen.

Oh well. That’s it then I guess.
