Its the likely chaos surrounding the 2026 mid terms that will seal the deal for the push to expand the supreme court, people think that trump got immunity from supreme court, he did not. Their ruling was a manifesto that said we will decide whether a president has immunity on a case by case basis.

I'm not around that but I have friend who's struggling, there's things I dont bring up because I know its pointless at least for now, not the same as maga cult but there are parallels.

Just this one thing would likely end a dem presidency and put a repub president other then trump under enormous pressure, for trump, its just Friday.
November 15, 2025 at 4:46 PM
Its was stupid on their part because all it does is motivate dem voters and deincentivize repub voters.

Again I dont see how the US puts the water back in the bottle without making the AG an elected position to stop presidential interference in the justice department.

When repub adjacent groups were using epstein files to bash dems, Kelly was pretty quiet on the age debate, pretty sad.

How do you justify suing one state and not the other
November 13, 2025 at 11:51 PM
There have been multiple reasons since then to not vote for trump, even if I liked stuff he was doing which didnt and dont he was a obvious walking disaster, use your imagination, nothing is too "out there" enough for trump to "cause" it to happen one way or another.

Its beyond dumb to invite more scrutiny for your actions on jan6th, that's the only result i see, voters even repub ones are likely to take din view of self dealing.
November 12, 2025 at 11:47 PM
That seems political, i thought Roberts has argued their not political.

The money would be going back into US economy because its Americans who pay the tariff.
November 12, 2025 at 3:44 AM
Why do they need something to see sounds like propaganda to me, they dont want to sue because that opens door to discovery.

I am certain that the Venezualen military has the ability to either sink or cause enough damage that aircraft carrier is incapable of supporting military action. They will likely only do that if US attacks and kills Venezualen soldiers. If it happens that way im willing to bet Hegseth is responsible

The silver lining is with the 60 vote threshold its hard to do anything with repubs, by acting the way they are repubs are demolishing dem support for 60 vote threshold.
November 11, 2025 at 4:15 PM
At this point this is almost self evident, you can't actually say it this way because then your encouraging radicalisation but its pretty obvious to anyone with 2 brain cells, not my country and I can read between lines.

Literally have not heard of 50 year before they brought it up, the longest I've ever heard is 40 yrs because beyond 40, its impractical, very few people work for 50 yrs. Its a bad sign if repubs dont slam idea, it'll be because they dont think people will be able to afford the lower amortisation
November 11, 2025 at 4:07 PM
Mamdani, like the guy but this idea that if you put the most progressive candidates forward everywhere you'll win is incredibly naive, if people do not show up at the ballot in 2026 and vote dem because you pissed off about shutdown then you have shit for brains.
November 11, 2025 at 6:18 AM
That would be self destructive on his part, people using ACA are "his party's" voters too.
November 11, 2025 at 4:28 AM
Thats one of the things people forgot, repubs could have said yeah one year extension makes sense etc but trump still needs to sign it, and based on what we've seen he may have allowed shutdown to go on for weeks, the man simply doesn't give a shit.
November 11, 2025 at 4:25 AM
Don't know shaheen well but she seems serious, if she saw no "real deal" coming that's a bad sign, that likely means that repubs are useless until the mid terms. They may think they can bamboozle people about who did what but dont see that working this time.
November 11, 2025 at 4:20 AM
Its not really a resistance movement its a we dont want things to collapse movement, that's where things are at, repubs have pretty much lost the plot, they sorta in a space in which they really stand for nothing, they literally appear to be hoping "that everything somehow works out" weird but true.
November 11, 2025 at 4:13 AM
Remember repubs including Bondi were all in about releasing Epstein files until dems said, fine let's release them, all of it. Suddenly repubs had cold feet, id do the same with 60 vote threshold f'k it doesn't work when we are in minority, why have it.
November 11, 2025 at 4:07 AM
I dont see the 40 dem senators who voted no being interested in keeping 60 vote threshold, everyone needs to remember 60 vote threshold can be undone by a 51 vote majority, the 8 dem senators who voted yes know 60 vote threshold not working currently when their in minority. 51 that's all it takes.
November 11, 2025 at 4:02 AM
Do you think repubs are rational actors at this point, the evidence suggests they aren't, they were getting the lion share of blame for shutdown, your focused on this issue of "caving", maybe more people need to spend sometime asking why polls about who is getting heat is not causing compromise.
November 11, 2025 at 3:57 AM
He doesn't explain it well, what he needs to basically say repubs are nihilistic at this point, they think that they can do krappy policies and get away with it. If you do not show up to vote them out then bitching about it is dumb, and putting a left wing extremist in thru a primary is even dumber
