No Republican senator still in office after January 3, 2027 (Tillis will be gone, most likely Cassidy as well, Collins is useless whether she wins or loses) will vote to convict any Trump official.

None.

Many so-called "progressives" absolutely did.

This shit makes me fucking sick.

Johnson defeating Feingold—twice—was like your mom divorcing your dad so that she could date Carrot Top.

And the "response" is even stupider.

Pivot incoming!

I think tonight is the night when Donald Trump finally becomes President

His name has "Tuber" in it because he has potatoes for brains.

The shutdown very, VERY easily could have backfired badly on Democrats, who are expected by both supporters and detractors to fix messes—even when they lack the votes to do so—rather than make them.

In fact, I'm shocked that it didn't. Probably only because Trump couldn't get out of his own way.

Eventually, one probably has to wonder why nearly every progressive-leaning person decided to spend 4 years of the most progressive administration in history shitting on said administration nearly 24/7, and how every attempt to get them to do otherwise was met with "what, and do Dem PR for *freee*?"

Without the pandemic, I absolutely believe he would have been re-elected narrowly.

One abuser protecting another. Tale as old as time.

They've been removed from society for so long that they truly believe that their wealth will insulate them from any and all consequences.

God, that's depressing.

Was Kirk really that well-known outside of his online echo chamber, and maybe on some college campuses?

It seemed many were genuinely unfamiliar with the filth he spewed, which is why their sympathy quickly evaporated once people simply began quoting him verbatim.

RFK, jr. is one of the few high profile people in the world who is as naturally and unpleasantly weird as donald trump, and for many of the same reasons

the thing that gets me about the antivoting leftists is that they don't just want to not vote. they want to not vote and have all the rest of us admit how cool and good it is. a participation trophy for laziness

Ooooooooooof. 🤦‍♂️

"I want my money—I have to buy wine!"

there's a real, important, and quite large divide between D and R economic policies. and it's clear who's constantly pushing for the priorities of the super wealthy.

Perriello's running in VA-5. Thanks for the link!

Imagine if some of you could have turned the energy you spend on defending the DSA from the latest antics of the IC on defending the actual progressive accomplishments of Democrats under Biden.

He makes Bob Good look...well, good.

Why does it feel like many of the people who spent the past year screaming "Dems need to Do SoMeThInG" are whining about this?

Yeah, I don't love the game either, but this is tangible and necessary action.

trump creating the incentive and permission structure for democrats to do insane 2010-era gerrymandering of their own may turn out to be one of the biggest self-owns of all time. dems are now pretty likely to emerge with an advantage from the 2025-26 redistricting wars

Is that where Perriello and/or Gooditis are running? I love them both.

As will Louise Lucas's response: "You all started it and we f***ing finished it."

Democrats can't win. Look at the reaction to the new Virginia map.

You can't spend months screaming "Do SoMeThInG" and then moan and hand-wring when Democrats take tangible action.
