We have to be as thoughtful, reasonable, and courageous as we demand your representatives to be.
This country was promised on the model of citizen-owners. Act like you own it. Act like the government is yours to operate for the common good.

I enjoy seeing Dem politicians posting about propsed/pending legislation covering normal governing stuff. Like it's 1997.
There really is only one thing going on right now, the destruction of the country by a child rapist working on behalf of foriegn powers.
Quit whistling in the graveyard.

I sorta feel like if you are going to drag the former head of the FBI into court, you better bring your 'A-Game'.
This really reveals what a smoke and mirrors operation the regime is running. This is not a competent group of people that deserve either our respect or our fear.

I wonder if Musk is being courted again because the Child Rapist needs expertise in complex data removal? They need expertise to even think about such a massive job. I honestly don't think so, but just crossed my mind. Likely not.

So what I've learned is that about 35% of this country will approve of a President that is a corrupt, incompetent, amoral, traitor who rapes children.
That's some real American exceptionalism! Nice. Real nice.

I think one thing progressives should do is spend some time reading the new testament. Then they will be ready to demonstrate how utterly fake 99% of evangelicals are who claim to be Christian. Read it once. That is one time more than most of them ever have.

Child Rapist would subject this country to a hellish sadism that might make Uday Hussein blush. He is bound by a system that still restrains his worst impulses. But there is no doubt about the depravity he would enact if he could. He is too incompetent to be as effectively evil as he would like.

So many people in government need to go. Obviously every single Republican...and I mean all of them, but also a huge numbers of reckless corporate democrats.
We also need to kneecap the tech oligarchs.

So, Child Rapist may have finally helped our country reach the bottom-rung. It took us having to decide on whether we wanted to support pedophilia or not.
The bar for showing some integrity kept getting lower until it was pressed into the mud. At that point we could successfully slither over it.

Child Rapist has no intention of either a) Giving up power, or b) Staying in the United States if he does lose power.
Some of his behavior with dictators is making sure he had an exit plan.
But none of these dictators would honor any deal they make with him.

I'm glad the Epstein bill got through the Senate, but Schumer doing it through unanimous consent was a crap favor to Republicans. He let the R Senators off the hook by avoiding a formal vote. They don't have to go on record with a vote for/against, which they should.
More weak sauce from Schumer.

Just looked up Clay Higgins on Wikipedia.
Gawd. What a loser.
How do these people get elected? What is matter with people in Louisiana's 3rd district? They went for him 70% and he's a total cretin.

All Dem Senators that have not worked for Chuck Schumer to be removed from leadership should be replaced the next election cycle.
These caretaker Senators do not have the guts to deliver the structural change required in this country. We need New Deal Dems, not Schumerite-Corpratists.

Pathetic and incompetent people can be either males or females. That said, as a guy, I have noticed a pattern in my life where females tend to be more competent, level headed, and professional. From my experience, a better country would likely have more females in leadership. It would make sense.

Steve Bannon looks like a pedophile. Anyone who has worked in, or been on a prison SNY / protective custody yard knows the look and hygiene of a kiddie predator. If you haven't...this is the nasty, greasy, creepy vibe:

If his MAGA base hears him screaming 'hoax, hoax, hoax' and in one case don't believe him, then for some all of his 'hoax' claims (is Russia) will come into doubt. The curtain hiding the scumbag will fall. Not all, but many might realize they have been conned all along.

Judge Fitzpatrick speaking of Lindsey Halligan's work prosecuting James Comey:
"the government’s actions in this case — whether purposeful, reckless or negligent — raise genuine issues of misconduct”
That doesn't sound like the Child Rapist's regime...oh wait, no that totally tracks.

Authoritarianism implies some degree of authority is being excercised. It's in the name.
If regimes can't project authority into the population they can't effectively rule.
The Child Rapist's regime displays incompetence and depravity on a daily basis. They self-sabotage.
We will make it past this.

Taking bribes from criminals for pardons too.
I mean, if you can't keep up with all the Child Rapist's misdeeds, just accept that:
a) He is the most corrupt president in history
b) He is an utterly worthless person
c) He has to go along with his regime-mates.

Child Rapist simply doesn't have the professional apparatus, depth of expertise, and commitment around him to successfully pull off a convincing scrubbing of the Epstien files. It would be a very tall ask for a functional, disciplined government.

So proud to have always been on team anti-child rape.
How there is any other team, and how they are now running the government is beyond comprehension.

People talk about how Chil Rapist is just the front-man for the MAGA movement and that its the smart villains behind him that are the real danger. I respect this POV. However, they are doing a crap job too. Also, MAGA is 90% a one person cult. That's where all the energy is. They have no juice.
