i would impeach, hegseth, noem, miller and homann, who have all publicly committed crimes, get trump to have a tantrum and try to defend them (he would because only he gets to fire them), then once their done, and he's perjured himself, you can impeach him

it needs to hurt, alot, for him

easy way to turn this into a referendum on trump, which will put his whole 'you lost the November specials because I was not on the ballot' theory to the test

also if they loose after this event, Johnson is so getting blamed, and probably ousted from the speakership

desperation turns even a coward into a hero

the primary desire of a cockroach is to live

either way you cut it, their own shifty and weak nature will eventually compel them to betray trump the second they think they no longer will get what they need from him

its barely been 12 months, we could see bush 2008 levels by spring 2026, and by this time next year end game nixon levels.

i think next year will be the moment its set in stone how this ends, be it amerimaidan or 'centre cannot hold' one thing i am sure of however is, trump can no longer win.
November 29, 2025 at 5:11 AM
yeah but they don't see it that way, trump even said last time, when he's not on the ballot, they loose, they think trumps name is a golden bullet

I don't think we're prepared for the party psychosis if they loose even with trumps help, since it would prove they are FUCKED fucked

no but rons dad, is the only 'pure blooded' wizard adult we see that has any affinity for non magical people, i think its safe to say, their not so on board with the fanatical purity as the malfoy's and may be being punished for it socially
November 27, 2025 at 10:45 PM
As a brit..Its complicated but my best guess? rowling was trying to make them one of the aristocrats that when their power waned modernised by ingratiating themself with the other classes, and adapting to a new social dynamic to the annoyance of the old guard

alot of lesser aristocrats did that IRL
November 27, 2025 at 9:59 PM
so downwardly mobile aristocrats maybe? still influential, but clearly in the out in wizarding society?

actually looking it up, thats most likely the case, their part of the 28 remaining pure blooded families, their actually on par with the malfoys.
November 27, 2025 at 9:47 PM
yeah, are the weasley's poor, as an American would understand it, or just of a lower social class, but still materially stable.

i mean they own tracks of land, dads a member of the civil service, (and not a low level one) but there not aristocrats, so to the malfoy's and everyone else, they're poor
November 27, 2025 at 9:36 PM
there upper middle class managerial class types, where most of Hogwarts seems to be actual aristocrats.

so poor in the context of the British class system, in the fact their commoners in a social situation where that is rare
November 27, 2025 at 9:33 PM
it genuinely impressive, how every member of the labour cabinet seem to be dedicated to getting 'the bad ending' like this is a video game , just with a G7 nation, and there all doing it in different ways.
November 26, 2025 at 2:21 AM
i think the most likely outcome now is not a legit pretender state, but a proto state that acts more as a nexus for terrorism.

the second war on terror, is a hybrid of a civil war, the troubles and afghanistan, the initial rebellion is short, with decades of reconstruction

he was inaugurated in january so at most he spent, 59 days in the job
November 25, 2025 at 4:34 PM
yeah, its important to remember, that when this poll was taken, the actual 2008 nominee and future president, had not even spent a full year as senator yet

Life comes at you fast sometimes.
November 25, 2025 at 4:11 PM
also could be the dems heard stirrings in the army about the legality of orders (there are hotlines soldiers can call if they think a order is unlawful) and decided to reinforce the message.
November 25, 2025 at 4:08 PM
the man used all his will power not to laugh right then, and i can't blame him, its a farce
November 25, 2025 at 2:16 AM
they also open the pandora's box of having the military explicitly break with the executive on something, and basically telling hegseth to do one
November 24, 2025 at 6:04 PM
i think if they lose Tennessee then, it may happen, it would be a sure fire sign they're fucked, and it might they might retire, leaving the GOP holding the bag come midterms
November 24, 2025 at 4:56 PM
Oswald was also a Marine who once got the sharpshooter designation (later degraded to marksman) , so i don't understand why its so hard for people to believe he could make the shot.
November 24, 2025 at 9:48 AM
Well, he won the ranked choice and then won over 50% of the vote with a spoiler, which shows that the system has promise.

the message i think dems are taking from 2025, is that they need to accept that progressive populism has a place in the party, and adapt the party accordingly
November 24, 2025 at 2:37 AM
At least what there discussing shows a party, honestly thinking about its short comings and actually pondering what it needs to do a change into

which is an encouraging sign, even if it may not be the best move, or work out fully, the party seems to be accepting that the old way is done.
November 24, 2025 at 2:31 AM
another side effect is this also probably sends cuba into a death spiral, the nation is haemorrhaging people is energy and food insecure, has a semi rouge military and Venezuela is the only partner it has keeping it from going over the edge

if maduro goes, its possible cuba collapses
November 22, 2025 at 10:08 PM
its MAGA so hate mail = death threats, and considering they have a nasty habit of killing their own people, i think MTG is actually worried trumps anger at her will get her killed.
November 22, 2025 at 1:35 AM
I think things are happening behind the scenes, and the GOP is even more dysfunctional than we're being let on, MTG, i think is smart enough to realise this can't be salvaged, and is going to sit the midterms out.
November 22, 2025 at 1:29 AM
of course the moment i write this MTG announces her resignation lmao
