Tbh it should be an invite-only caucus

Bro a child rapist just got elected to the presidency

He may have definitely resigned to avoid a damning ethics report.

Iirc you can give a nom de guerre and they don’t ask questions, but if you want to move past a certain rank, you have to normalize relations and any open criminal cases with your original country of citizenship (though I’m sure there are exceptions, like if you’re an Afghan national and, you know, don’t want to be executed by the Taliban).

I do believe, after seeing how the DNC is learning (or more accurately, absolutely refusing to learn) from this absolute debacle, that the Democratic Party is straight up finished.

If elections are allowed in 2026, the DNC may subject all of us to one last feeble attempt to move towards the center in the midterms, and if they win it’ll be a dead cat bounce (just because the GOP demonstrably SUCKS at governing, and Democratic candidates can just run on “we’re not those fucking idiots”). They’re obviously completely co-opted by corporations and rich people at this point, and that’s not getting rolled back, despite the fact that that fact is a huge part of why they snatched defeat from the jaws of victory. And the article is more or less expressing that last sentence.

Scholz (the spineless fuck) has already reached out to Putin.

“Merrick Garland’s DOJ cleared Matt Gaetz and didn’t charge him. Are you alleging Garland is part of a cover-up?” a spokesperson for Gaetz said Friday.

I mean… you said it, not me. But now that you mention it, and in the context that Garland also deferred the investigation for two fucking years… yeah, maybe. Who fucking knows at this point?

But to be perfectly honest, I expect this will all be swept under the rug, just like all the Trump cases. So good job slow-walking everything, Garland, you fucking quisling.

I, too, have unlocked the secret 6th stage of grief: gallows humor

This is why I’m holding out hope that Sanders is working on the foundation of a new party. The DNC is clearly not the way forward, and doesn’t look like they’re going to pull themselves out of their death spiral.

Jesus. They’ve learned nothing:

He added, “Trump really kind of ran up numbers everywhere, you know what I mean? There was clearly a strategy not focusing on one place or another. And as a party we have to do that.”

THATS NOT WHAT FUCKING HAPPENED.

Trumps numbers barely moved.

Harris’s numbers PLUMMETED compared to Trump’s 4 years ago. Start there. That’s where you need to start this postmortem.

This is bending the knee

Lmao cry me a fuckin river. This is fucking peak leopards-eating-faces territory.

Optics. Because we’re the ones launching them.

Oh god now I remembered that whole episode. Guess we have more of that sort of shit to look forward to 🫠

I’ll be a liiiiitle surprised if even the GOP senate allows him through

Lmao no fucking way. That’s hilarious

It’s cute that you think things like “laws” and “precedent” are going to give Trump + the Nationalist Christians even a fraction of a second of pause.

Frankly, I’m expecting laws and divisions of power to be broken quite flagrantly, and nothing will be done about it.

Ok so I’m like… not upset about this at all. Also, I know this is the millennial equivalent of “get off my lawn”, but fuck me if I don’t find the concept of “being an influencer” fucking dumb. Do a thing you love, post the content if you think you’re good, and be a known expert with a following. Don’t just PR for the sake of doing PR and then hope people listen to you. What the fuck even is that?

Oh, did you just get the memo?

• Because his job will now never be completed
• Because this also slightly diminishes the possibility that he’ll be politically prosecuted by the incoming admin - though to be clear, I fully expect the Trump DoJ to make Smith’s life a living hell, and to throw him in jail if they can, and perhaps even execute him if they can figure out how to kangaroo court things to that degree. That is not a joke. This is an entirely serious comment.
