    There haven’t been 60 dems in the senate since 1979

    There haven’t been 50 dems since 2013

    Starting living in this decade maybe

      The President has historically had wide latitude to act in times of emergency. The instigator of the insurrection should’ve been in Gitmo on January 21, 2021.

      Sure, call me extremist, but look at where we are now. I’m fucking right. But, barring the correct action, Biden could’ve followed the moderate, decorous course of launching the prosecution that day. But no, it took TWO. GOD. DAMN. YEARS.

      I’m so done with Democrat excuses.

        Biden had to preserve our beloved institutions so Trump would have something to tear down.

        I think, in principle, the president persecuting his predecessor and current political rival is bad. Much simpler a solution is to not disrupt his criminal investigation by electing him president, but instead we’re a country of assholes who can’t even show up to the polls to keep him out.

      You’re ignoring independents who caucus and vote with the dems. Your numbers are misleading on purpose. You’re just making excuses for a party that opposes progressives and not republicans.
