They can rein him in with every vote where they abandon their principles because they are cowards, even the ones not facing reelection. The most cowardly group of losers in the history of the world.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2d agoCornyn: "There's nothing we could do to rein in the president"
A reminder that people who know anything about politics -- what the parties are, what they stand for, their record, who they've elected, how government works -- are a freakish minority. Most people know *nothing at all* past the vague mythologies that sift down through pop culture.

Just another demonstration why Bash & CNN should be ignored & considered to be (bad) entertainment, not journalism.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 3mo agoBASH: You and your fellow Democrats have used some heated rhetoric against the president. Do you think twice about that when something like that happens? RASKIN: What rhetoric do you have in mind? BASH: That he's terrible for this country and so on and so forth
this is like in the GFC when mortgage defaults were rising in 2007 but the bonds that owned them weren't losing value (see The Big Short). When will the GOP congress sync with voter attitudes on trump? Are they waiting for a total collapse of the US before they remove trump from office?
Greg Sargent@gregsargent.bsky.social · 3mo agoNew Fox poll is absolutely crushing for Trump: *Approval on economy: 34-66 *Approval on inflation: 28-72 (!) *Dems now lead GOP on economy *55% say Trump mentally unfit for office On the pod, @gelliottmorris.com is so illuminating on all these numbers and much more: newrepublic.com/article/2094...
Today we start month 16 of trump wars on: trade (w/ now former allies) immigrants & the citizens trying to protect them reality cognition Iran the global economy rule of law the constitution any semblance of logic the planet competence
tbf to leavitt, everyone in the trump regime tells absurd lies like this, whenever anyone is listening. It's a job requirement.
Hey rest of the world: listen to this guy, stop going along with trump, he has advanced dementia and is just doing random crazy, stupid, dangerous things.
Everybody who voted for the nazi shithead with dementia, or didn't think voting mattered: FYYFF
Add GOP senators to that group of cowards
Chris Murphy@chrismurphyct.bsky.social · 6mo agoFor the CEOs and university presidents and other responsible leaders who have been biding their time and waiting for him to cross the magic red line before speaking up, maybe when he starts arresting Senators is a good time to get off the fucking sidelines.

@housedemocrats.bsky.social @democrats.senate.gov stop treating the war on US cities as en election issue! Get to work stopping this war on Americans. It's not about the election right now, it's about the destruction of the republic.T his isn't a fundraising opportunity. Do your fucking job!
there are more interesting nature docs to watch, but none with a more important message than www.netflix.com/title/80216393 You may not be able to vote out the govt that is accelerating climate chaos, but you can make lifestyle changes that will help, esp if you share them with family & friends.

In less than one year he’s destroyed the Constitution, the economy, the CDC, the FDA, USAID, PBS, the Education Dept, he’s put a major U.S. city under military occupation, and he’s about to invade Europe. All because 77 million assholes wanted it and 90 million more didn’t give a shit.

He's insane, you know. Perhaps it's dementia. Perhaps it's heavy metal poisoning. But he's absolutely batshit. Pretty wild that Republican lawmakers don't care even a little!
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 7mo agoTrump posts that he’s “Acting President of Venezuela”
The GOP reps that criticize trump (Massie, MTG except she quits in 2 days) for his illegal wars need to vote to impeach trump, they can't accept these crimes as a price for all the stuff they like.
After reading about this guy, I still wonder which is most apt: -Barroom savant, telling you (before you can escape) how things "really" are; -College roommate who has read Atlas Shrugged over the summer; -"Stupid person's idea of a smart person." But it's at least one of those.
I was there, in the 90s, the boomers were giving out the participation trophies to their kids. I was the only boomer I knew complaining about that. I hated it.

It's entertaining for someone who is not in journalism/media/whatever to watch journalists wringing their hands over two of their own doing on an individual scale what their employers have been doing on a much larger scale for some time now.
Mamdani should tell trump privately that he wants to provide a subsidy for businesses by making public transportation free, it helps them get employees who will work for less because they live farther away, and it reduces traffic for wealthy people because there will be less cars.
