One of these things is not like the other.
They’re still waiting for polls to come in on this so consultants can tell them what to think.
And promise to investigate for bribery every individual and corporation that “donated” funds for the golden ballroom. These people act this way because they’re not afraid of consequences from a Democrat administration.
Yeah, this is disqualifying for me, but goddamit, why does the alternative have to be an 80 year old that promises to not touch the filibuster and go back to business as usual with “my friends across the aisle”?
Trump: post images of himself wearing a crown and flying a jet labeled “King Trump”

NYT: I don’t where the left gets this whole “Trump wants to be a monarch” thing.
Normie Dems are in no way interested in going back to the status quo where the right gets a penalty-free crack at fascism every 4-8 years, while the left gets pummeled mercilessly for not fixing things fast enough via norms and bipartisanship.
For a second there I thought you were building a model of the famous Battersea Power Station. :)
Two steaks at the same time?
That’s not what I said. All else being equal - fair game.

But we can’t blame the public for not taking an authoritarian takeover seriously when journalists denote weeks of coverage to something else.
Tapper got shit because he was doing a "Biden bad" press tour right in the middle of Trump going full fascist. It wasn't him dumping on Dems/Biden, it was his misplaced priorities.
It also gives pause to individuals and institutions that are considering caving.

Number one: we might come back from this, and number two: those who fought the battle will not forgive the collaborators.

There’s no going back to “before times”, one way or another.
Haha. Justa friendly “jab” at people exercising their freedom of speech. What a rascal!

God I’m so damn sick of being gaslit by the media that insists on showing this square peg fascism into a round hole of normalcy.
Republicans have for decades referred to their voters as Real Americans™️, and for some reason the representatives of the other half of the country just accepted that they represent second-class citizens.
You know that if they were actual drug dealers this administration would haul them in chains in front of cameras.

The fact they they’re being quietly repatriated speaks volumes.
Lots of external actors are watching too. The early capitulation you saw by law firms, corporations, etc. was because they thought there was a “vibe shift”. These things give them more spine - out of self-preservation, yes, - but it matters.
The fact that the same SCOTUS judges that gut all gun regulations also demand extra round-the-clock security is a special kind of “fuck you” to the nation.
A driver’s license is a permission to drive on public roads. On private land you can do whatever.
Me too! Not mine though, I’m not that clever.
The creator of the universe needs Eric’s help.
50+ Dem senators, no Manchinemas, nuke the filibuster, appoint 6 new justices.
Exactly. The decisions of this SCOTUS are not popular, across the board. Everyone HATES that they made the President above the law.

Flip the table here and go on attack, bash Reps over the head with it.
Save that one for when you’re protesting in Boston. :)
I meant the value. Those are seats that Dems can take in wave elections. But even in a wave election, you’re not getting back the 19 Section 2 seats in the south.
Reps lost every seat in CA in 2018 without any Dem gerrymanders. Those are low-value seats as far as gerrymandering goes. The southern Section 2 seats will be gone forever, and Dems will have a -19 anchor around their neck every two years.
