I was told that this was impossible to do when Dems were in power, because "The Reich wing might do it"....
The Nazis are grabbing power faster and faster every day
There's a day in early November that I'm trying to remember.
The country is already lost the real question is why has there been no coup yet. Very telling on Democrats and their ability to talk themselves into complacency.
What are they waiting for? Republicans to yell "lol we are fascist"? But we know Democrats will then go "oh but they're just saying it we need conclusive actions so we can write another stern letter."
America is a failed state. Let me hear it from everyone in the back.
they still believe there are going to be legitimate elections in the future. they are delusional.
The Democrats don't care as long as their donors are happy.
And the donors are playing both sides.
See: Disney
That's fucking terrifying. So 48 more cult members with no qualifications and no willingness to work with Democrats in any way.
This definitely won't hurt Americans even more...
Obama had thousands of unconfirmed appointees because Republicans blocked them for his entire term
Mitch mcconnel and gingrich were spearheading those blocks.

Goddammit, you just reminded me that ghoul is still alive.
Sure. That's because Democrats are political morons and spinless assholes.
Even now, spineless.
No, complicit.
We need to stop pretending Democrats are constantly getting "outplayed" or "surrendering". Their goal is to put on a good enough show that we feel like we have representation while ensuring that their billionaire donors get everything they want.
Right, with the both sides thing again...you fuckers are so blind its maddening. The things Biden did are not even in the same league as what Trump and co are doing, but yeah, keep on screeching both sides while they devise ways to put us all in concentration camps.

We're living in the Snowpiercer world with Republicans currently playing Wilford and the Democrats playing Gilliam. Even if Gilliam regains power he wouldn't reel in the powers of the executive branch because like Wliford, he also believes in keeping the status quo.
I’m sure they’re all highly qualified appointees, too. His work at HHS and the FBI show the top talent this walking corpse attracts.
Yeah well I made a new rule that says they can't do that. Your move now, senators.
The Senate is now officially playing Calvinball.
It's been a day or two since Ive heard that term. Brings back better days.
Democrats had forced multiple votes on almost every one of Trump’s picks, infuriating the president and tying up the Senate floor.
Yet the "Both sides" group will still continue to say the Dems aren't even trying.
They’re fucking not. They could have done this exact fucking thing at any point since 2008, bUt tHAt wOuLD HavE beEn tOo DiVisiVE.
Do not pretend for a fucking second that the Democratic Party is in any way, shape or form competent. Do not pretend for a fucking second that the Democratic Party did anything but pave the way for this fascist regime with their ineptitude and greed, thus enabling the shattering of the American republic.

of course they gave kimberly gargoyle a position.
I will never be able to think of her any other way than shouting a full speech during the 2020 RNC.
"Do not let the Democrats make you believe you're not good enough! Manifest! Fly me to the moon with that SpaceX cocaine! 🚀 Gimme gimme gimme!"
there's only one way you can be giving a speech that is that shouty and not immediately stop and that's if they've turned off your monitors. sound guy did her dirty, which means she fucked with the recording crew far worse than they usually get.
Breaking News: Three Supreme Court Justices dies under mysterious circumstances, meanwhile trump's three Supreme Court Justice Nominees approved within 2 hours.

I wanted to reply to numerous comments, but I'll just do it here. The people aggrieved that democrats/liberals/the left didn't do more are not wrong for being upset, even very upset. Things are generally better for everyone, in recent history, under left-side leadership. But our representatives have been beset by corporate capture since the 80s/90s so by my estimation politics has been a performative art for my entire lifetime. Still anyone with their head above water knows you've got better quality of life under democrats, even if they are deceptive or corrupt.
The system needs replacement. It has been captured whole by multi-national industry, corporations, investment interests, and billionaires. It is currently being bent and corrupted to the point of no return. Even if democrats work for us, they only give us so much before bending for their donor money. I've always had this vague notion that for even the best intentioned, there's only so far you can climb the ladder of politics before you refuse a bribe, or lobbying money, and they just boot your ass. Or blacklist you, or whatever, you just get locked out. I dunno how to end this, except to say that the whole world needs a massive paradigm shift, and it just doesn't look like we gettin it.
All Politicians Are Bastards
