The only way out of this is if Dems outvote the GOP next election cycle. There is ZERO possibility MAGAts plan to vote Dem. That is NOT going to happen. They ONLY vote for their own demise.
It's solely on Dem voters. It's NOT on hoping MAGAts make an about face.

That sound you heard was every GOP elected official with a lick of sense absolutely SHITTING themselves thinking about the visual of Mark Kelly back in uniform before a military court as Whiskey Pete's handpicked chucklefucks try to railroad him on bogus charges.

Every car made today is an incredibly sophisticated computer on wheels. Really unfortunate that there is simply no solution to having it die because one (1) little overhead light was left on overnight.

How to Get Rid of "Citizens United"
We can do away with it without a new Supreme Court. Nor do we need a constitutional amendment. There’s a far simpler way.

DC jury acquitted the Sandwich Guy. Lindsay Halligan can’t even bring an indictment because she’s not legit. Jeanine Pirro couldn't get a conviction because she’s incompetent.
As the judge pointed out, incompetent Pam Bondi completely screwed up the appointment of Halligan in violation of the law.

Pete was relieved of command for incompetence, did nothing of note in his brief career, and later made policy to allow sexual assault to be purged from service records after a length of
time. Wonder why.

I'm working on this idea that we got to where we are today because of the failure of Reconstruction. Lots of other things, but the idea that the failure to follow through, to truly punish those responsible, to facilitate Jim Crow, allowed the core issues to be suppressed...but only temporarily.

This is extreme to say, but it isn't extremist, b/c these are extreme times. Driving straight makes sense only when the road is straight. Staying on the road makes sense only when it doesn't lead off a cliff. Allowing the driver to stay at the wheel makes sense only when they don't intend to crash.

We must make a world that is cares equally for all, that exists to serve humanity rather than capital.
That's a world where breaking public trust must carry grave weight. Having been a member of the Republican Party must necessarily bar you for seeking or holding elected or appointed public office.

The corruption and bigotry and terror, and the damage done by it, are almost impossible to fathom, but as a society we must fathom it.
If we are lucky, we'll get out of this, and there will be calls to "look forward, not back." Those who say it will say its to heal. It's to avoid doing their job.

Anyone calling for a return to normalcy without consequence needs to have their career ended immediately so we can get people in office willing to do what is needed, which is to build a new and better normal, having disarmed and defunded the corporatist fascist occupation of our government.

It's not a matter of whether or not we'll have such tribunals. It's whether or not we can still manage to have them in prosecution of fascist Republicans for crimes against humanity. If we can't, fascist Republicans will eventually hold them against everyone else for the crime of humanity.
Happy to chat with the administration about the Nuremberg tribunals.
Including about the crime of enforced disappearance and the limits of the defense of superior orders.

Yep - neonazism & xenophobic isolationism have long been known to be economy-killers. Truly from outside looking in - your press is 100% the problem. It elevates people who don't have a following until it gets the following it wants them to have. All bc they're saying something outrageous.
