    The only way they can win is by cheating, but we all just keep letting them cheat, so whats even the point.

      We’ve still got a few hands to play, and honestly the next one is looking really good. We have an election in November and MAGA is on the run. Incumbents in record numbers are declining to run and defend their seats, primarily because they know they’ll probably lose. Dems only need to flip a handful of seats across all 430+ districts to take control of the House, and have investigative, subpoena, and arrest powers, and it is starting to look like a bloodbath.

      IF the Democrats choose to boldly grasp the opportunity. I sooo want them to do that, but I so fear they won’t.

        The same Democrats who just decided to keep their 2024 Election Autopsy Report secret, after promising to publish it?

        I can hope, but I’m not hopeful.

      Given that a chunk of Americans want to go back to the 1950s, unmitigated domestic abuse sounds par for the course.

        I want to go back to the 1950’s… tax rate. Where billionaires/millionaires pay 91% tax. That is a regressive move I can get behind.

    The revisions also feature a provision saying the president can be appointed as the chief executive officer and can be compensated for the position.

    So he’s making money off this. What a surprise.

    Everything else aside, it’s just incredibly distasteful (understatement) to slap your own name on somebody else’s memorial. Who TF thinks this is a good look?

          You really think Congress should be focusing on name change debates right now? Really? It’s distraction and your first thought is to chase squirrels?

            They should be introducing articles of impeachment every single fucking day. Congress is irrelevant to Trump.

              Agreed. Have they? No they’ve grabbed at every minor incident so they don’t have to fight the big ones.

            Every time they give up their power to him is a win for him. Every coward who backs down encourages him to take more.

                  He’s not getting impeached for petty vanity plays, it’s not guns happen. Kid rape seems way easier even if he ends up just being the one token prosecution billionaires are willing to throw under the bus.

              What’s possible and what’s likely are two separate things. Could they? Sure. Will they? No.

      Bingo! I never cared, but now I know that this is IN FACT the case. Congress, what’s it feel like to have someone erode your congressional powers? As a US citizen, I can tell you, I think you should be ‘up in arms’.

    So nobody but Merrick Garland and Joe Biden knows why they slow-walked the Trump cases, dragging them on for four years.

    But if the renaming of the Kennedy Center is not undone within 24 hours of this shit show ending, I will do the unthinkable and post a sternly worded comment in my Hello Kitty diary!
