All I know is Jeffries and Schumer ain't it, until the Dems replace them everything is still in jeopardy.

Jeffries is literally buddies with Kushner, a leading AIPAC donation taker, and also beholden to weird Nazi tech bro Peter Thiel, throw the whole dude away.

I did a google search. Then followed it up with Kagi until I ran out of scroll.

Every headline minus a couple fringe items, repeats that Jeffries will be the next speaker.

Almost all of them.

We are so fucked.

Well. I'm certainly always persuaded when employees investigate their employers...

[-] Zephorah@discuss.online 1 points 4 minutes ago

This is like when the police investigate themselves.

[-] Zephorah@discuss.online 2 points 7 minutes ago

Wow, that’s their do nothing plan? Good odds it will take 2 years to investigate. And be something they can talk about as needed.

Let's get this done. H1B visa abuse. Any public funding near Musk All companies owned, operated or involving any member of the administration. Every entity and person worth more than 500k who donated to the administration. All visitors to MaraLago or who have golfed with tRump. Every merger or acquisition that has occurred in the last two years. Every bank and insurance company. The entire food chain. Black rock .....

Do they have good people looking into it? The best? Really, seriously, nobody has ever seen people this good at investigating before because they're gonna find all the corruption?

Don't tell me about plans you hope to have, show me the fucking results.

No. It’s their headline plan and byline to repeat while they DO NOTHING for 2 years, keeping the Republican seats warm in the meantime.

My partner told me in the same sentence as the blue tsunami news. I chose to hope. That’s gone now. Reality has taken over.

It’s going to be another crushing 2 years if the progressives don’t fight the Dem old guard. It’ll just be a game music off crush, quieter this time.

Will the investigations be inversely based on how much money they donated to the the democrats?

[-] digitalFatteh@lemmy.ca 1 points 10 minutes ago

Exactly. This just seems like a foreword to let them know new donations are required with the changing of the guard and to plan accordingly.
