Putin’s Russia has 6 parties, so more isn’t better, as only party that matters is his (United Russia, w/ all members of Kremlin who effect policies have to pledge loyalty to Party Leader Vlad).

In a democracy, the only parties that matter are the top 2, while the rest are mere window dressing.

Bore someone else, fool…

Fetterman never should’ve won that race had not GOP dumped a ton of $ into backing a famous TV celebrity carpetbagger who campaigned so badly (care for a crudité?) Fetterman won.

PA remains a swing state DT won: would U prefer it go into GOP column, like WV Sen. Manchin’s seat did after he retired?

LOL!

So lemme get this straight:

you WANT a strongman leader who pressures elected reps to do as he demands, but then hate the idea of a strongman leader as head of the opposition party?

Get your alibis straight, son, as you can’t believe in democracy only when it suits your needs…

Pelosi was a master vote counter as she knew when not to force unity.

In 2019 AOC voted against House rules, but Pelosi let her & others do it since Dems had enough votes to pass it.

In 2020, when progs pushed for M4A, Pelosi didn’t force a showdown, knowing it’d only hurt vulnerable members.

(does Johnson really
want Govt to reopen NOW, knowing he’ll have run out of excuses for refusing to swear in 218th member to release Epstein files?)

I wouldn’t be surprised at all if that’s the ultimate Dem goal, knowing the political damage Epstein would do to DT in upcoming midterm elections.

For one, Angus King is an Indep who only caucuses with Dems: he’s not even Manchin, a Dem WV Senator whose seat would’ve been GOP (as it now is).

Schumer or any other leader has no power over caucus members (whip is illusory).

Plus, don’t count chickens before they hatch: it has to pass House

Except Pelosi understand politics to know it’s not worth losing a seat by forcing a caucus member to vote along party lines when it jeopardizes their future chances of winning re-election, eg Fetterman is from PA, & he beat the odds by winning a Senate seat in a State DT carried by a 2 pt margin.

I guess we’ll soon find out whether Mike Johnson actually wants to allow Gov’t to reopen, as he’ll then be forced to swear in the AZ Dem House Rep who’ll be the 218th vote to release the Epstein files….

Commence countdown until the Felon In Chief pardons yet another “true patriot”…. 🙄

I mean, if admitted fraudster George Santos be pardoned and his prosecution be labeled as a a miscarriage of justice, there’s literally no one (other than a Dem) who doesn’t qualify

I laughed when DT campaigned on simplifying US Tax Code to make it so easy we could file a post card tax return.

People don’t realize financial services sector is YUGE, generating MASSIVE donations to political campaigns as they have a YUGE interest in keeping tax code complicated so we need CPAs

I remember from US History when the Teapot Dome scandal rocked GOP POTUS Warren G Harding’s Admin in the 1920s, with his Sec. of Interior found guilty of accepting bribes from oil companies to give them access to public lands.

DT’s billions of $$$ beyond that…

Also, in criminal trials, jurors are told by judges not to consider penalty, as that’s imposed by a judge after conviction (it comes up in death penalty cases).

In civil trials, jurors MUST consider the amount of the damages to award a plaintiff for an IIED claim if they find defendant to be liable

Sure, except this wasn’t a civil case (where awards for emotion distress are considered), but a criminal case (charged as a felony, but then tried as a misdemeanor).

Civil cases don’t involve prison, but are purely financial damages (for a claim like intentional infliction of emotional distress)

Love the question, “HOW IS "INJURY" DIFFERENT FROM "BODILY HARM"?”

Jurors should’ve sent judge a follow-up question asking, “Does “injury” include inflicting a boo-boo to DT’s fwagil ego?”

Gullible MAGAT idjiots WANTED a crook, falling for the oldest media trope in the book: it takes a crook to catch a crook.

They actually believed electing a conman grifting political-outsider whose bad boy bona fides was confirmed by Hollywood Access tape seemed like a good idea. 🙄
