So I am saying this only because I am not such an optimist. Are we willing to do what is necessary to rid the GOP and Trump after the midterms when they decide not to seat duly elected officials? Are we going to sit by and wait months for the courts to decide things? My kudos to Marc Elias but …

Have the fucking GOP explain this one. We aren’t talking about cost, we’re talking about profit margins. The vicious circle of lobbyist asking for quality bonuses for the insurers, they donate to the politician’s campaign so they can try to keep their job.

For those that want Trump impeached and removed (which I am one). The democrats need a net gain of 20 senate seats to have the 2/3 supermajority. So they need to re-win their 13 seats and pick up 20 additional seats. Anything less and they shouldn’t even try. This includes a simple majority in house

Something to think about. GOP lose midterms. Trump resigns leaving Vance as president. Trump gets preemptive pardon from Vance. Any attempt at being held accountable for his crimes evaporates. www.themirror.com/news/politic...

Governers need to hold the line. The response should be “fine, you take federal funding from free lunch programs. We will then increase taxes 200% on all data centers and tech companies to make up the difference”. See how far that goes. open.substack.com/pub/defiance...

Now here is Trump speaking to law enforcement. Do you see anything but a white Gestapo looking crowd? No offense to law enforcement personnel it’s the people he stacks his crowd with.

Trump gives speaches where he tells Americans to suck up the climbing prices. Justifies that our pain is necessary because Iran can’t have a nuclear weapon. So why doesn’t he put his grift ventures on hold to suffer along with us. No, he grifts more. Why do MAGATs believe what he says?

I hear a lot of state and federal candidates running (in part) on holding the current admin accountable. Exactly how are you going to do that. Even if they are in the majority, how are you going to do that. Get rid of SCOTUS? Impeachment? What process is even viable to cleanse the government?
