It's also none of Mamdani's business, since he isn't in the House.
34 Republicans + 217 Democrats voted to form the committee.
And again, politicians cannot and should not 'lock people up'. That's not how Congressional committees work. That's not the power we give legislators.
You are barking up the wrong tree by blaming politicians for the DOJ's lack of action.
Democrats led the J6 investigation and impeached Donald Trump for his role in it.

Bill Clinton appeased Republicans by rolling back financial regulations and cutting welfare funding. He had a similar 'trim the fat' ideology to MAGA.
Most Democratic voters today aren't keen on neoliberalism. Biden pretty much did the opposite of Clinton in this regard.
That's not how the 3 branches of government work. Legislators cannot arrest people.

Nations are deleveraging themselves from American securities/currency and moving towards gold and the Euro because of Trump's global trade war.

Republicans are far-right.
One side of the coin gave me affordable healthcare.
The other side of the coin wants to take away my birthright citizenship.
I'm not finding any evidence of Zohran Mamdani endorsing Hakeem Jeffries. His term ends in 2027 so it would be strange timing to endorse him now.
Jeffries did endorse Mamdani in late October.
NPR really depends. Their main outlet has become 'both-sidesy' over the last few years, but their network is very decentralized and there's still some good local stations out there.
However, I usually just stick with AP News for unbiased reporting, as they are more consistent and reliable.
I've seen this logic before. The most extreme MAGA sycophants believe he's an actor of God and that God sometimes uses "imperfect vessels."
There is really no arguing against someone who is that deep into the cult. They will not listen to anything you tell them.
Absolutely. This administration is straight up racist.
The idea of "remigration" is a borrowed term from far-right groups in Europe like the AfD, who are neo-Nazis.
Thanks. Same to you. ๐

06.12.2025 06:49 โ ๐ 3 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0People say Trump is a shitty President, but I don't think that's true. Shit is useful. Koalas rely on the microorganisms they get from eating shit. Dung beetles use shit for mating rituals and laying eggs. It can be used for fuel, gardening, and construction.
Trump isn't nearly as useful.
Good luck with your treatment โค๏ธ

05.12.2025 17:31 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0I don't know about any politicians, but there are investigative and legal efforts that are ongoing. They don't make it to mainstream media.
05.12.2025 17:30 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Thomas Crooks was MAGA. He tried to kill Trump.
Vance Boelter was MAGA. He shot Minnesota Senator John Hoffman and his wife, and killed Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband.
Tyler Robinson was MAGA. He killed Kirk.
Brian Cole Jr. was MAGA. He tried to bomb Republican and Democratic offices.
Well said. The proper procedure for intercepting a drug smuggling boat is stopping it in international or domestic waters for search/arrest.
05.12.2025 04:05 โ ๐ 4 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0At this point the tweets are not just 'mean,' they are outright parroting literal KKK slogans and using imagery created by neo-Nazis who post/repost things like "MAWA" (Make America White Again).
Paying attention to their messaging is vital to understanding how extreme this administration is.
They also mimic KKK rhetoric and repost artwork created by an actual Neo-Nazi.

However, this model was likely 14-19 and this was taken during the peak of Trump's friendship with Epstein.
Niall Ferguson is a Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher supporter, has written for The Daily Mail and The Daily Telegraph, has worked for/supported various right wing organizations/politicians, and is an ethnocentric colonialist apologist.
He is not an unbiased academic by any means.
The kids are alright.
03.12.2025 06:19 โ ๐ 2 ๐ 1 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0The thing about these kinds of movements is that people see what they want to see in it, and in that respect, it can become an everyman's philosophy to be MAGA.
Which is better than the alternative of everyone being true-blood sycophants.
This is a weakness we can exploit with the truth.
George W. Bush (R) ordered the invasion of Afghanistan and overthrew their government because they refused to help hunt down al-Qaeda, which got its startup funding in large part due to Ronald Reagan (R).
Then Donald Trump (R) ordered the hastened withdrawal.
And somehow Democrats get the blame.
Yep. That definitely sounds DHS Security Advisor, Stephen Miller.
