Trump has already threatened a purge and revenge against people who hurt his fee fees.
Same old shit. People supporting radicalization and installation of a dictator find themselves shipped off to a gulag or out of a job because they all think they’re going to get to participate in the new power structure, except dictators never share. They put family and extreme loyalists first. The rest are just window dressing to be traded out at first inconvenience.
Yup. Naturally the typical dipshit that would vote for donvict is not going to be much of a reader. This is a tale as old as time.
Something something leopards eating faces
That’s leopards feasting on faces like never before.
It would be funny AF if someone managed to slip him some Polonium into his McDonald’s, thereby causing the US to curbstomp Russia out of Ukraine.
Off topic, but damn trump is unsettling to look at in this pic.
I agree completely, but your comment begs the question: can you supply a picture of Trump that isn’t? He always looks like mummified foreskin wearing a cotton candy toupee to me.
So, funny story, I had my foreskin mummified the other day. Have you guys seen it? I smeared some pineapple cotton candy mixed with motor oil on it…accidentally.
This is why voting in Congress should be anonymous. And this is exactly why purse holders wanted voting to be public- so they could carve out any nonconformists.
Any way. These fuckers better learn from the Greeks and form a Phalanx.
Anonymous voting by elected representatives may be the goofiest thing I’ve heard of in a while.
Such a bad idea. Now you have no idea if your representative is actually representing you or not!
Also no way to verify the vote is real if no accountability
I mean there are ways to ensure it, the most low tech option is to have a camera rolling, have all the Y/N votes stuffed into the box. Open up the box and count.
Your belief that anonymous voting in Congress is “goofy” reflects a fundamental misunderstanding of how our political system operates. Public knowledge of each individual vote does little to influence electoral outcomes. I.e., voters rarely track day-to-day legislative decisions, and even when they do, their understanding of the complex procedural dynamics is limited. Campaigns are primarily won or lost based on messaging (truthful or otherwise), rather than detailed voting records.
The real leverage in our system comes from financial influence and political pressure exerted by donors, interest groups, and party leadership. This influence depends on knowing exactly how legislators vote, enabling these entities to reward or punish them accordingly. When every vote is public, politicians feel compelled to serve those who fund their campaigns rather than following their own conscience or serving the broader public interest.
The proposal I highlighted for rebuilding trust is to restore anonymous voting in Congress. This follows the same expectations a anonymous voting in general elections. By keeping individual votes private, representatives are enabled to make decisions based on their judgment and principles rather than on fear of retribution or loss of funding. Many political scientists and reform advocates agree (see discussions in the American Political Science Review or reports from nonpartisan think tanks like the Brennan Center for Justice).
It is telling that your comment has garnered so much support. This demonstrates how easily public perception can be shaped and how difficult it is to foster informed discussions about positive legislative reforms.
The fact that pretty much every other democracy that doesn’t allow rampant lobbying and corruption works with public voting but one doesn’t should tell you that the problem is not with public voting.
There are different systems. We have something called a 2-party system. Please consider yourself informed. Thanks for the downvote.
Well, you’ve got “confidently incorrect” down pat. Consider yourself informed.

I don’t fucking care, do u?
If it is a sign that the GOP will start
beatingeating itself, that would make my life a lot easier.Really the best we can hope for with this is that the federal government goes into total gridlock for the next two years and they cant do any 2025 shit. Itd help if Trump died since Vance wont be able to control the republican Blot flies.
They did run on the campaign claim that the government is too inefficient and never gets things done.
Yet if I piss on the managers computer I am accused of “Corporate Espionage” and “Assault with a acid”.
Are you a xenomorph…?
The over consumption of mountain dew can lead to many abilities some would consider… unnatural.
Of course I care. The fragmentation of the Republican party is something that many of us have been hoping to see for a long time.
The good thing about the situation now, for those of us who think Trump is an evil piece of s***, is that he doesn’t have too much power. He can kind of pressure people who are up for re-election in 2 years, but his voice will mean nothing at all in 4 years. Also, many politicians want to wield their power so that they can either feel powerful or get richer, and if all they do is rubber stamp the word from the White House, nobody’s going to give them the time of day.
These Republicans have three options: Obstruct, switch parties, or quit whining.
Looks like obstruction is back on the menu, boys.
Womp womps all around.
I guess they aren’t fans of Concrete Blonde.
I’m gonna have a drink and walk around
I got a lot to think aboutOh ya
