That would require the Democrats to be an ACTUAL opposition party instead of a CONTROLLED opposition party

The Founders anticipated the possibility of a corrupt, venal, lawbreaking, wannabe monarch president.

What they did not expect is numerous people achieving prominent national office and not wanting to guard their own power. The combo of ego to run but pathetic absence of ego in office stands out.

I respect this guy's line of thought, but if you've been alive and conscious for the last 20 some years and think Republicans would ever do this... Well...

Idk what to tell you

It’s still hard to grasp that there aren’t 4 GOP Reps (who will otherwise be forgotten forever after retiring & likely defeated next year anyway) aren’t interested in going down in history as all-time 🇺🇸 heroes by caucusing with the Dems & giving them the majority to impeach Trump & save the Republic

Kevin M. Kruse @kevinmkruse.bsky.social · 8h

Democrats should hold a press conference and announce that if Mike Johnson has no interest in running the House they'd be happy to do it for him

This is why the Dems refusing to call the national guard before trump are failing us. Trump will absolutely send in his gestapo in the elections to steal the votes and cheat them to a GOP win.

If you're not going to call in the nat guard to stop them, then wtf are you doing?

The answer is nothing.

@govpritzker.illinois.gov is a weak willed do nothing that has more in common with Weimar Democrats, than the heroes that fought nazis

I think you're posting cuz you don't WANT it to be over. You're desperate for some hope. The only one that can bring that to you is you.

Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

When dressing up as a Nazi for Halloween is even remotely acceptable then you know as a country we have lost the plot.

James Russell @jamesjoelrussell.bsky.social · 1d

Reminder that blue state Dems currently in charge, Pritzker, Newsom, Hochul, etc, could bring state charges TODAY! They CHOOSE not to.

Remember that next election

Trump flunkie Todd Blanche says it's a crime for states to hold violent ICE thugs responsible for their crimes. He is wrong.

And this is a reminder to use that D + 8 to elect people who will DO something! The last thing we need are Schumer's and Pelosi's who will slow walk investigations into trump and his fascist regime destroying america

Scott Horton @robertscotthorton.bsky.social · 1d

At anything beyond D+8 on the generic, the current GOP gerrymanders will likely boomerang. Trump will need other tools to suppress the people's will.

Kamala took a surging campaign and dumped it to back a genocide and a dottering dementia dude occupying the white house.

She deserves every criticism. You though are pretty great
