Justice in America has always been applied in direct proportion to the person's bank account. That is why you never see a wealthy person having that "inspirational" story of being wrongly convicted, only to be exonerated decades later. That only happens to the poor.

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

I’ve said this b4, but here’s a little inside baseball from a former Republican: Back in my GOP days, we Republicans would privately laugh at how Democrats would never go to the mat to win. We always knew Democrats wouldn’t fight to the death politically.
Last night proved Republicans right again.

The Dems probably cut a deal that if the GOP swears in Adelita Grijalva, Dems promise to never bring up Epstein again.

Much like 2024, Democrats seem to think there’s a binary choice in the 2026 election between voting for Republicans (evil) and voting for Democrats (feckless).
They rarely acknowledge the third option which inevitably harms them the most: staying home.

Chris Murphy: "There will be pretty substantial damage to a Dem brand that has been rehabilitated if on the heels of an election in which the people told us to keep fighting, we immediately stop... if we surrender without having gotten anything, I worry it'll be hard to get them back up off the mat"

In fairness, the Democrats are the party that let an insurrection slide the last time they had power. So maybe expecting them to fight for anything was our mistake.

How is it fucking possible that every single elected Democrat managed to miss school the day they covered the failures of appeasement throughout history?

Dems should be all over THIS, not caving on a shutdown and healthcare premiums on which the publicly currently clearly blame Trump and the GOP for.

The Dems who are caving are doing so not because their base wants them to,
not because the voters want them to,
not because the fed workers and SNAP recipients want them to…
they are caving because their DONORS want them to.
And that’s really all that ever matters to the corrupt

It's like these people completely forgot a CEO was murdered for withholding healthcare. They have no idea how desperate people can get to feed their starving families.
After lower court ordered Trump to resume giving food aid ( SNAP) to vulnerable Americans, he brought the issue to the Supreme Court which has temporarily allowed him to continue withholding SNAP

Look, I'm not saying the economy has rebounded yet, but all I know is I've only had to work 87 days so far this year and I've made as much money as I did last year. That's the kind of progress I want to see.

All day, many of you have been asking for a Cheney obituary from me. Get ready:
His Works Completed, Dick Cheney, Mass Murderer of Iraqis and American Democracy, Dies
As much as the Trumpists claim to disavow the War on Terror, they walk a path paved by the most powerful vice president in U.S. history.
