Obama’s probably just recognizing the way the wind is blowing and wanting to maintain influence over the Democrats. I guess I’m fine with it if he uses his fame to amplify people like Mamdani.

He seems uncomfortable with a world where he couldn’t openly take bribes.


If Democrats were capable of that sort of backbone, Donald Trump would never have become president. At least, not for a second term.


The department argued that Bondi was subpoenaed in her official role as attorney general
That’s just a blatant fucking lie. The subpoena was for Pam Bondi by name.


I see this story on lemmy at least once a day. I’m okay with that.


I guess stopping the things that decent people find repulsive is off the table?

The ideal outcome would be
They nuke the filibuster to pass the bill
It gets held up in courts because it’s obviously unconstitutional and doesn’t get implemented in time for the midterms
They get blown tf out in the midterms
The law gets overturned in courts because it’s obviously unconstitutional
No more filibuster.


Given how the GOP’s prospects in the next election are only likely to get worse, this might actually be the thing they end the filibuster for.

The current leadership knows how to be better and chooses not to.
You know he gets so pissed about it because he can’t brag about all the
young womengirls he fucked.
