    WTAF is with them? You can’t just make up La-La Land rules at recess and then expect them to apply in real life. That’s crazy talk.

    They dont worry about losing court battles because they dont personally pay the monetary penatlies when they lose. The American taxpayers do, and they dont give a crap about us.

    I saw this little shitstain whining about Democrats saying they are going after the criminals (like him). But he’s going to go after Democrats for saying they are going after the criminals in the Republican Party?

    Do brainiacs like Todd even hear themselves?

    Also, dude, “criminal conduct”? All the criminal conduct is coming from inside your house.

    The promotion of both Stephen Miller and Jim Jordan should be a giant flashing sign on what the next two years have in store. The GOP is not planning on compromise and rational governance - they are putting the pieces in place to escalate.

        TBF, there’s not much other option - they don’t have the votes to override Trump’s inevitable vetoes, nor do they have the two-thirds majority required in the Senate to impeach.

          If the pass good law, and it gets vetoed, that’s trump’s fault,

          If they pass bad law because they needed Trump to work with them, then it’s their fault.

          “But but…. Compromise isn’t bad” - Trump doesn’t compromise. Neither have the republicans at any point since I’ve been following politics. When only one side compromises, it’s not that. It’s capitulation.

          America did not vote for capitulation.

          Political capital is spent and earned via appearance. If you vote for a bad bill, it is on you. If you refuse to vote for a good bill, it is on you. Both actions take political capital away.

          The opposite earns political capital. Take the recent fuckup where 11 democrats decided to attend an Israel-first rally instead of voting to bring the Hegseth impeachment vote to the floor. Those 11 dems essentially fucked themselves. Permanently. They lost all political capital they have, and harmed the democratic party as a whole.

          Just because they chose to miss the vote. They weren’t going to make a difference, realistically, but guess what, the appearance of corruption and compliance is far worse than making a useless vote.

    Rhetoric huh? Oh like when the president calls his political enemies “terrorists” or journalists “nasty horrible people with fake news” or inciting an insurrection? Like that kind of rhetoric?

      “Rhetoric” is the official language of Republicans. It’s the only language they speak, and nobody else is legally allowed to use it - particularly against their hive.

    He needs to be investigated. He literally knows where the bodies are buried. He needs to be threatened with decades in prison, and only then would he maybe flip.

      Fuck their feelings indeed. Fucking traitors all. Ignorance is no excuse for their supporters, but the cabinet are not ignorant of what they are doing in betraying the US. To be fair the dems aren’t great on defending the US or honouring the bill of rights either. Fuck their feelings too.
