Most people just don’t like where it leads. I know I don’t. But it’s plain as day.

The fact that we know he will never be removed and never be criminally charged by this DOJ shows how bad our system is. We created an unaccountable institution in the presidency and eventually we got a lawless criminal to take advantage of it.

I tell people I’m a detective. No cases yet, but you never know.

They’re just so edgy until their fragile feelings get hurt!

Main thing to remember is that people like Vance always feel like losers regardless of how far they get in life.

We’ve got our challenges but it is a nice city! To be fair I have never been to KC.

“Why does the public hold the media in such low esteem?”, they ask themselves.

Marge, the bees are defending themselves somehow!

I just don’t get it. There’s no upside for a Democrat to vote for any Trump nominee or legislation, there is no swing voter that that would appeal to. Yet these Senators whose job is to read the pulse of voters are just way off.

If they did, we’d owe one to Nixon.

Based on their acquiescence with Trump’s dictatorial fantasies the Republicans are either incredibly short sighted or absolutely confident that they’ll remain in power forever.

When I was in college in the ‘90s it was normal for conservative and liberal students to be good friends despite their political differences.

What changed since then? Right wingers have gone Nazi cultist. No sane person wants to associate with such bags of shit.

I’m more pissed about her liking the Chiefs.

Just do it already. Delay is all Republicans have. Stop talking about it and sue the fucker.

This must be that “law and order” Trump promised us.

And she chose to fuck up her face so it leaks, tough shit lady! And no one made you murder your dog. You’re an awful person but the good news is you’ll spend time with your hero Hitler in the afterlife.

Democrats are simply not up for the fight and this is likely the main reason their polling is in the toilet right now.

Though obviously Republicans won’t remove Trump, that needs to be their message because it makes clear that they get what a lawless mess he is and that they want no part in funding him. Any less than that just pushes the lie that this is no big deal.

Dems’ demand should be simple—“no vote for any budget that funds this president’s crimes. Remove him, or do this without us.”

“Trump threatens to cause it to rain more in Democrat cities”—tomorrow’s overly credulous media headline.

Brando Garcia @brandogarcia.bsky.social · 1d

We really never had such an anti-Christian president before.

This alone should change Democrats’ negotiating stance to “he’s mentally ill and breaking the law, so we will not vote for any budget to fund his abuses of power until you remove the demented bastard.”

If only they had the balls to do this, it’d completely change the narrative of this presidency.

Portlandia had an unintentionally prescient episode in which Roseanne Barr plays the “temp mayor” who hates Portland culture. She complains that there are too many bikes and not enough malls and big box stores. She thinks grown men are open.substack.com/pub/ser1897/...
