Yawn. Wake me when it’s JD Vance and Mike Johnson. Not a single republican in the USA gives a shit about what 2 key democrats think.
No Democrat is a key Democrat if they don't have the balls to do what is necessary
I dunno, one of them sent his personal army to fight trump's personal army. That seems ballsy.
Like what, exactly?
Doing things in a democracy requires votes, and they didn't have them.
The American people decided they wanted Trump with a Republican Supreme Court, Republican House, and Republican Senate.
Let's blame the Dems for everything they do.
That makes sense if you forget about the last thirty years and also common sense. Nothing happening today is entirely surprising; you can pretend we didn't see this coming and tell the Dems to step up, but we remember the truth.
Politicians vote, and they also ... do other things. Or they don't. Their actions show their values.
Let's blame Dems for not holding the fascists accountable while they had the chance. Let's blame Dems for not presenting any kind of vision to voters other than "we're not him". Let's blame Dems for systematically undermining party internal democracy. I could go on and on.
Wait, you needed more than "not him"? Are you a fascist?
Remember when they ran their whole campaign cycle trying not to talk about Trump?
No, when did that happen?
We're past getting votes. This is fascism in America, sweaty. Kindly step to the side if you want to play by the rules. Make sure to campaign super hard against the machine of fascism!!! You're so cute.
Huffpo: saying shit with no bearing for years and years now.
At least they didn't "slam" Trump, he couldn't withstand that kind of onslaught this week.
Oh, if they (along with Vought and Miller behind the scenes) can get to where they don't need him any more, they'd absolutely love to invoke the 25th. The problem for them is, so far they're still dependent on his cult of personality. They just need to finish consolidating their power. They're working on that with the military right now and the goal is to have everything cemented before the midterms that would normally take place next November, or before the time trump kicks the bucket, whichever comes first.
