It is amazing the media can’t seem to draw the line from death threats to resignation. They always talk about the reasons why but not in this situation. I have only read one article in Mother Jones pointing out the harsh reality of what is going on.

Umm Trump just said nuh uh.

And SCOTUS just backed him up.

Sue them out of existence. They are not going to stop.

This did not make it better.

Guns have always worked as an oppressive force against Americans. The clowns that say otherwise are living in made-up fantasyland.

Didn’t they already downplay the whole insurrection thing? Hard to take these clowns seriously.

Our insurrection was invading the capital with the intention of killing the Vice President!

Your insurrection is telling the army it is okay to refuse to attack US citizens!

They messed up so bad and it hasn’t even happened before in the history of law. A screw up of historical proportions. They don’t even know what to do, they can’t even comprehend how badly they fucked up.

It would be funny if it wasn’t such a serious matter.

You make some really good points. I had to look it up and apparently it is not uncommon to have a country that has never had a woman as its top leader.

Also, if you add up all the years women have actually been a leader it is just a token amount.

So clearly this is not just a US thing. Why women are so grossly underrepresented in politics appears to be pretty universal.

The leader of the KKK endorsed Obama over Hilary. Let that sink in.

Having a pick me conservative female candidate reinforces all their values while co-opting more women through representation. In this respect having a female President could be way worse, think Erica Kirk.

I agree with your point and I think the reason it hasn’t happen has a lot to do with the extreme sexism the US has.

Pardons should always go before a large committee. The less concentration of power the better. The President can only recommend a pardon while giving sound reasoning why.

The total collected so far is under two hundred billion. We would have gotten more in taxes if we had just taxed the rich and they would have barely noticed it.

You can instantly stop yourself from hiccuping.

I like your sentiment.

I hate to say it, but money and corporations already dictate this and have been in complete charge for longer than I have been alive.

The Democrats who caved just happened to be all safe in their districts with no upcoming elections. This is strategic like everything in politics. They stood to make more money by caving so it wasn’t just these eight, it was a group decision.

Not solving healthcare will of course work to their advantage. Gotta keep dangling that affordable healthcare carrot. Did you expect them to tackle another big important issue?

I wonder if I am getting little too cynical sometimes but the Democrats always convince I am not.

I think the Senate literally exists to keep democracy in check and prevent the people from voting away the rights of the wealthy.

So the Senate Democrats jump the moment that money is on the line. When it was apparent they would get more fundraising and support with the shutdown and then as soon as they stood to make more from ending the shutdown. Follow the money.

It was never about principle.

It was money that won, like always.

Thank goodness.

Don’t worry. They will support the spirit of gay rights but will vote it down on a technicality they invent.

Hearing this weasley short end of the stick motherfucker cry out in his nasally and whiny voice, “This is our fucking city” has to be peak Maga.
