As all this disgusting Epstein shit starts surfacing more and more, I hope we don't lose sight of the fact that apparently every major media outlet knew everything and instead spent their time money and energy attacking the trans community.

You know things are dire when Trump is relying on a woman whose political instincts are powered by vape cartridges and chaos.

Let's see if these Pizzagate people that got so mad about imaginary pedophilia rings actually care about this stuff.

Hey so “underage girls” are…children. The word you’re looking for is children. They’re not like, women-in-waiting or women-lite or whatever. They’re children. I think some of you are very uncomfortable with what that means for you but it is still true.

“the threat to our children is drag story time in the courtyard at the library not the guys with the rapemobile—the shuttle that takes america’s wealthiest kings to the lolita express airplane that flies to rape parties where sometimes the president walks into a door because he’s so horny for kids.”

i mean c’mon. the president’s best friend was the most notorious pedo in the country’s history who ran a massive child trafficking ring. every bit of circumstantial evidence we have says that trump was a participant. if this were a criminal trial we’d have enough evidence to compel a plea deal.

Trump getting elected a few weeks AFTER the Access Hollywood tape dropped was to America’s culture of sexual violence what Sandy Hook was for gun violence—a clear sign that tens of millions of “conservatives” were totally fine with it.

That gaudy, grotesque place that used to be the Oval Office of which we could be proud? He's only temporarily using that space that we the people own. Let's not let him convince us otherwise. Like any bad tenant, once he’s evicted we can remove the junk left behind.

"is the president of the united states currently being blackmailed by pedophiles" is a legitimate question with supporting evidence that needs to be investigated

Goes without saying that actively demoralizing your support base and sapping its will to fight isn't helpful.
My two cents is still that our fight is against something akin to Jim Crow 2, not a Hitler-like takeover. Unfortunately, stopping it depends on political will, and any capitulation, appeasement, or compromising principles with bad/activist legal maneuvering gets them closer. It's happened before.
I have no doubt that if Trump could snap his fingers to create a dictatorship w/out elections he would. But none of them are acting as if that's going to happen. What they're doing is "normal" GOP election-tilting stuff. Which is bad! Really bad! But not anything remotely like canceling elections.

being told “thank you for licking my boots” by your interview subject should be embarrassing right?
Trump to Pat McAfee: "I'm only joining you because I hear you say such nice things about me. When people say nice about me, I join. When they don't say nice about me, I take a pass."

The best way to show that MAGA is not part of some dark authoritarian movement is to remove professors who suggest that it is

I get what Bernie sanders is saying when he’s asked if Schumer should be replaced, he says: who’s gonna replace him & that any replacement would be of a similar ideology and not a “progressive.”

I get that but there is a diff between “as left wing as Ilhan Omar” & “can hit the don’t-cave button”

Republicans now know Schumer will cave and how.

They know they got 8 now. This is why it was important not to sell out.

This. Is. Chuck. Schumer.
Short version:

Trump: I'm dismantling the Constitution, building a paramilitary fascist army loyal only to me, blowing up the US economy for my billionaire cronies, and destroying the planet.

Schumer: Okay, but you have to extend subsidies for corporate health care

Trump: No

Schumer: Okay

I'm not saying you're doing this, but it can not be understated *how* mad we should be at dems for caving. Keep calling blue state senators, pressuring them to have a no confidence vote on Schumer/Durbin (as whip). That cave is looking worse than expected.

Republicans are the opposition. Democratic leadership are supposed to be our generals. Why is it so hard for people to believe that we want different generals?
