I am in love with the idea of someone who earnestly believes the trump team in 2025 comes at things with actual objectives of national security/economic policy and not as a back door for yet another series of briberies and self dealing corruption, something that has not been demonstrated to date.

I REMEMBER THIS
After Gina Haspel defied the Senate intelligence committee and destroyed the CIA’s torture tapes, they rewarded her by confirming her as director of the CIA a few years later. Absolute impunity.
Why should ICE expect any accountability for this? We gave that up decades ago and never looked back.

An interesting tidbit in the joint status report filed in the Broadview ICE facility case today:
ICE says video from inside the facility "between October 19, 2025, and October 31, 2025, has been irretrievably destroyed" and can't be produced in discovery.

Best case: The President of the United States knew about a pedophilia ring and did nothing to stop it.
Medium case: He also used his office to protect the perpetrators.
Worst case: Because he was one of the perpetrators.

Every single GOP official has had to ask themselves if it mattered to them that their leader was a serial sex abuser pedophile pathological liar racist fraudster who was uncomfortably supportive of our enemies. And all concluded, “nah!” Until now. Before they thought he helped them win. Now what?

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

Totally sleazy and dishonest machinations by Schumer here
He fucking orchestrated this, by getting 8 politicians not up for reelection to vote for this and acting like he and none of the other people facing elections have anything to do with it.
They are all fucking complicit.

if you genuinely think Schumer and Democratic leadership opposed this & Republicans coincidentally got exactly the number of votes they needed to avoid a filibuster and none of those votes are from Democratic Senators who are up for reelection in the midterms next year, I have a bridge to sell you.

The coordinated nature of this—none are facing voters in 2026—means that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate Majority Leader to stop it.
Dems voting "no" get zero credit until they demand a change in leadership. Schumer out as Leader, Durbin out as Whip.
