Dems need to play by todayโ€™s rules and not like it was in a previous era!!!

If it is legal, why shouldnโ€™t the Dems do this REGARDLESS of what the Reps do? Isnโ€™t this another example of Dems wanting to play nice and ignore that the โ€œrulesโ€ have changed drastically??

Are We Doing Everything We Can to Save Democracy?
YouTube video by Democracy Docket Are We Doing Everything We Can to Save Democracy?

NEW: My latest video explains the GOP's dual strategy of using the DOJ to collect sensitive voting data on millions of Americans while gerrymandering themselves into a House majority. All of this is to protect Trump.

Watch, learn and share.

So for the hell of it, I went poking around on the FEC website about a high text PAC, and learned they had almost $6 mil in donations so far this year that appears to have been largely generated by small donors.

Amount they have donated to races or to DCCC, DSCC etc.? $212,000.

3.5% of total.

The room to testify against gerrymandering in Texas is full.
This is how it looks outside. All these people want to testify but there isnt enough room/time. The people of Texas oppose gerrymandering.

Ghislaine Handed DOJ 100 Names in Shameless Pardon Quid Pro Quo The late convicted sex offenderโ€™s partner met with the deputy AG for two days of questioning.

To save his decrepit orange peel skin, Trump does not rule out pardoning a pedophile who abused and trafficked young girls. He does not care about the ONLY victims, the girls. Let that sink in: "Ghislaine Handed DOJ 100 Names in Shameless Pardon Quid Pro Quo" www.thedailybeast.com//ghislaine-h...

Virtually identical trajectory to his first term so far. The question is whether he falls further. In his first term, this was essentially as low as he got until the final post-January 6 poll.

The current occupant of the White House posted an AI video of President Obama being thrown to the ground, handcuffed, arrested by FBI agents in the Oval Office and then housed in a prison cell.โฃ

And we just keep on rolling along as the madness spreads like toxic mold.

I said this a couple weeks ago, but thereโ€™s some concern - particularly on the Hill - that Trump is largely inaccessible and that his staff is insulating him from even members of his own party.

Basically, all the crap the books accused Biden of doing.

Never before in U.S. history has one man exercised such unbridled discretion affecting the lives of so many, while simultaneously preventing others โ€” Congress, the courts, the American people โ€” from having a say or even knowing what heโ€™s going to do next.

This is dictatorship.
