I feel like a dramatic dissolution should be a possibility considered, but I don’t really expect us to come out of it with a new people-focused government. Likely if the budget never gets passed Trump decides he doesn’t need Congress and just starts spending money as he wishes. He’ll even start with funding something the people want, then once it’s established that he can just spend money and no one will stop him, he’ll move on to the instruments of oppression. When the military is directly being paid by the president, we’ll see how much of their oath is really to the Constitution.

They’re already writing their books about how they (quietly) thought it was all abhorrent. Please send them millions of dollars.

He’s immune to prosecution and personal consequences from anything he does. They have not (yet) ceded the ability to tell him that government cannot legally do a thing and what it must do to correct it.

This feels like the sort of intentional ambiguity someone like Bannon would do to test float an idea. If people freak out he’ll just point to the technical truth and if they don’t he’s taken a step to normalizing the dictatorship.

Our greatest recent win was with a black man with a Muslim name. Charisma and idealistic policy are way more important factors than all these excuses the centrists are throwing around now that the female nominee might not be a neoliberal. The same “but whatabout vagina” hand wringing surged when Warren was briefly leading the primary. And the same deferral to whatever prejudices are convenient to the end goal were brought out against Obama.

The same people promoting moderate Republican sensitivities as our guiding light are the ones who keep running shitty candidates and losing. They don’t know how to win elections.

That’s why Barrack Obama lost.

There’s no path where she becomes Senate Majority Leader. You don’t take the position off the corpse of your defeated opponent.

Ask that to the person I’m replying to. They’re the one saying speaking to the people in power is what you do if you don’t have power. Which again, this did not do.

But most of this speech was to empty room. Nothing requires his opponents to listen to even be in the room to hear him.

A principled construction firm does not destroy national landmarks. This isn’t a blind contract, they knew what they’d be doing. I really don’t know why you’re going so hard for them. It’s not that complicated.

The government is a small part of Amazon’s giant business and most of it is just continuing on from before the government went fascist. This company is making a significant portion of their work destroying the fucking White House under a shady plan. There’s a reason this single act is getting more attention than Amazon hosting government servers.

Million dollar salaries themselves are incredibly rare. Just executives and star talent whose names alone will bring in more investment. Being really smart isn’t what drives a crazy salary like that.

The people stopping those raids are recruiting at protests. Meanwhile you do nothing.

Seriously. If the lower court’s decision is correct, take your time responding to appeals. The high court of the land showed us using the system to run out the clock on Trump’s criminal cases was ok, might as well follow their lead to promote actual justice.

The situation isn’t a joke. You are.

C’mon bro, I’m white. The two pillars of law enforcement are supposed to be fucking with minorities and being totally unaccountable under the law and you’re really violating them right now. Let’s just get these cuffs off and go throw this Hatian guy off the bridge together.

Someone just got full custody.

This definitely happened.

Communism isn’t a governmental system it’s an economic system. It’s competing with capitalism, not democracy.
