If you break the law, you go to jail or get fined. But if you are the government there is this neat hack:
Break the law.
Get told don't do it again.
Continue breaking law and say you are trying.
Get told to try harder.
Continue breaking law.
Get blasted.
Continue breaking law.

Continue breaking law.
Get blasted.
Continue breaking law.

How many of those 13.9% did they take from jails vs actually remove from the streets? My guess is they've hardly gotten any on their own.

"Unless you are Texan, don't say Texas should have Democratic and not Republician leadership." Isn't that the same logic? People can have input on something so long as it is agreed that the people that live there get to decide.

From 2027 to 2029 the goal is to put sand in the gears of the Trump regime and hold it as accountable as possible, ans we will need street fighter types like George to do that. You can't pass anything meaningful over Trump's veto during that time. The time to run for something will be in 2029.

Not sure why he would "get it". Either he is extremely idiotic to have not forseen this outcome and therefore will be unable to intelligently process this new info (unlikely), is deep in a cult and thus impervious to disconfirming information, or actually knew the outcome and wanted it.

Until 2029 it's the best that can be hoped for since Democrats have almost zero power. They lost too many federal elections. Seems like a slight improvement from the current situation at least.
