Yeah, I was highly amused there were consequences finally for his repeated violations of securities and contract law. Now I truly wish DE had just let him out of the deal. Bush v Gore for the Court of Chancery. Things would be so different.

MSS is the CIA but with a domestic secret police force. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ministr...

That’s not a “coup,” soft or otherwise. McArthur didn’t exercises state power, he violated one order regarding one tactical situation. It wasn’t good, was definitely insubordination and mutiny, but it was not anything like a coup.

That’s fair. But we’d have to do something like that for 2 years to keep making sense.

Exactly! We *had* a united front until they decided to surrender for NO REASON.

lover/sexual harassment victim (depending on whose story you believe) for a job he wasn’t qualified for and then announced everything by stating “I am a gay American” as if THAT were the issue with what happened. It’s truly brain-melting for me to see him mounting a “comeback.”

McGreevey being back is so bizarre. I was in high school for his governorship and I just saw “McGreevey” in the vote totals for JC and I was like “…that can’t possibly be the same guy, right? The former governor? Surely it’s someone unrelated who happened to have the same name?”

The dude hired his

Agree but also the House term is too fucking short. They’re never not running for office. 4 year staggered terms makes more sense, I think.

Bagley pretty much nails it.

As someone else pointed out, I think that means you have to name and indict the senator, lol. Really incentivizes designating senators as targets under this provision.

we'll reunite after the 2026 primary cycle and not a moment sooner actually bsky.app/profile/whit...

You know what else was a huge moment we could turn into a victory? THE SHUTDOWN THEY CAVED ON.

all the senators who voted no: uhhh listen. we live... to fight another day. for our fighting. and i think voters will recognize who was fighting for their fighting.

tim kaine, out loud: oh you would not believe how many people were glad we're around to get yelled at for them, they were SWEATING

Our primary program will include both the House and Senate. And after the primary — whatever happens — we will rally behind the winner and crush the regime electorally in the midterms just like we did this last week.

We get the party we demand and we intend to demand a Democratic Party that fights.

1. Trump's polls in the gutter.
2. Repubs got their asses handed to them Tuesday nationwide.
3. Public opinion solidly in favor of the Dem position.
4. So naturally, Senate Dems are caving and keeping their corporate donors happy.
5. This "strategy" should cost the Spineless 8 their jobs. Period.

I know odds are very bad but there *is* another cloture vote at the end of this. With enough pressure it’s theoretically possible we flip someone.

Wait there’s another one? So in theory they could change their mind and still stop this?

Except for the centrist-institutionalists allowing this to happen, sure.

How exactly did he “trick” them? He tried to cave and failed.
