    If we are going into a Civil War scenario, I am glad it would be under Trump’s influence. I don’t want my enemies to have a smart or iron-willed leader. Preferable for him to be charismatic, so that all the Magats follow him when he runs Fascist America off a cliff.

    That is pretty much the only bronze lining to his purge of leaders, soldiers, and workers: They will end up working with the good guys, lending their skill and drive to our cause.

    Holy fuck you feckless fascist-enabling imbecilic dipshit. Jesus tapdancing christ, you complete fucking wilted parsnip. Reach into your purse and find your balls, you unequivocal fucking cunt. What the actual fuck is wrong with you, you entirely indelible santorum stain.

      I got a noise complaint from the screaming fit I had upon reading he regrettably has an inverted hyper-vagina instead of testicles. (It’s a terminal illness)

    Wow. Literally just heard this chode on NPR talking a big game followed by Tim Caine that it was going to be a hard “no”. So much for the “we stand united” against a fully packed R bill that never hit discussed with the Ds.

    Absolutely fucking spineless. They have literally given up on even trying to look like they are against what is going on.

    Call your senators, they can still block this despite Schumers push. This is not a done deal. The vote is tomorrow. If all republican vote for it, they need 7 dems. 8 with Rand Paul who has said he’ll vote no. (Republicans are not using reconciliation so it needs the the filibuster)

    Many senate dems are publicly coming out against voting for cloture (meaning they won’t vote to let it get through the filibuster). As of what I last read, around 10 dems are thought to potentially vote to let it pass filibuster. Most of those are still not sure. We only need a handful more of those to become noes and it will get blocked. Some yeses have flipped to noes because of public pressure. We cannot let up now

        Fetterman is an asshole for sure, but he’s also inconsistent. He does sometimes vote the right way, and sometimes doesn’t. He is less pressurable than other dems, but it doesn’t mean he can’t be pressured at all. It is still worth calling him. If nothing else his staffers hearing those calls might talk to other dems about how widespread they are and help other dems flip

      THEY ARE TERIFIED.

      Why isn’t MSNBC on the vigil? Why isn’t CNN on the offensive? Why did the WP sell out its editorial column?

      THEY ARE TERRIFIED.

      You don’t even know how bad it is, because the commercial entities that the US has entrusted with their information are now looking out for themselves.

      THERE’S A REASON THAT THE PRESS IS THE FOURTH COLUMN. and we get to see why in the worst way.

    At this point how many times do people need to get that Dems won’t fight for you even at their lowest popularity.

    Defeating Republicans with complete submission. Maybe they’ll wear matching colors to show they’re voting it in protest.

      Yep.

      The CR hands a lot of purse strings to trump directly, it’s cause and way more at the presidents discretion.

      A shutdown is 100% the move here.

      But Schumer is a neoliberap thru and thru. So he’s going to do what the money (and Israel) want. And that means bailing out trump.

      We can’t fight fascism with neoliberalism, because both groups do whatever they can for the largest check.

      It controlled opposition, and the only way either of them can win an election, is when they’re the only two options.

      Its getting harder and harder to see how we get out of this without violence. The only question is what will touch it off.
