Four R senators and four R House members could announce they're caucusing with the Dems for now, and will vote for Schumer for Majority Leader and Jeffries for Speaker, because the threat to the rule of law is dire. Meanwhile, they'll work with Democrats to construct guardrails against dictatorship.

Feel deep in my bones that the backlash to all of this is going to be enormous. Not sure how it will manifest and when it will explode into view, but confident it’s coming.

For all of his dystopian rhetoric, by many traditional metrics, the America that Trump will inherit from Biden is actually in better shape than that bequeathed to any newly elected president since Bush came into office in 2001. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/05/u...
Trump Sees the U.S. as a ‘Disaster.’ The Numbers Tell a Different Story.
President Biden is bequeathing his successor a nation that by many measures is in good shape, even if voters remain unconvinced.

ABC's anticipatory obedience, is the "legacy" media bowing to "Der Leader." Morning Joe anyone?
Similar acquiescence led to Orban's rise as dictator in Turkey, is the method by which Goebbels and Hitler silenced the media in Germany. The media MUST stand against tyranny. It is its raison d'etre.

And we don’t fucking apologize to adjudicated fucking rapists.

They want to crash the economy
So they can declare a crisis and state of emergency
So they can suspend free speech -- and imprison and execute people without charges or trials
This is the fascist playbook -- know it so you can oppose it
