Ohhh look at me I'm New York City. I have an awesome basketball team with likeable players and a mayor that cares about making life better for every citizen man fuck you

i want democrats to unapologetically use the power that is bestowed on them legally, including the new authorities granted to those in power by the supreme court, to stamp out fascism and put the country back together before dismantling the current powers granted structure

listen hun if you can't handle the Washington Post editorial board at their the Texas gerrymander "freakout" is "not a threat to democracy" you don't deserve them at their "Virginia plunges America deeper into the gerrymandering abyss"

What's happening in the Lone Star State is not a threat to democracy" screenshot of April 21 Wash PO editorial board: "Virginia plunges America deeper into the gerrymandering abyss
The redistricting scheme was always a power grab by Democrats. Voters went along with it."

Also, hoping the lady who says Obama is guilty of treason, the guy who thinks Trump is Jesus, the lady sleeping with her security detail and who drinks on the job, and the guy who harvests raccoon penises will vote the president mentally unfit for office doesn't seem like the soundest strategy.

I really don't like this 25A medicalization talk. "Fail a mental fitness test"? That frames this as if it's some unproven possibility of a particular mental illness, which is totally irrelevant. I don't care what boxes he checks in the DSM-5. That he's unfit for office is not a medical diagnosis.

I'm not sure how you can be against removing this man from office right now. What will it take? A nuke being dropped? It's too late then. The purpose of impeachment and the 25th Amendment is to prevent that type of thing from happening, not just to react to it.

the thing thats just not coming through in the coverage of, well of anything but particularly the war, is that theres literally no reason for any of it and republicans are making your life worse but cant explain why or what the payoff is supposed to be

I keep thinking about how Trumpism isn't even pragmatic assholery, a moral tradeoff where warmongering and cruelty leads to better results for Americans. He's just smashing the lose-lose button over and over again, making our country meaner and more violent, but also poorer and worse to live in

if anything like this actually comes to fruition it is inarguable that donald trump started and comprehensively lost a war in less than a month this is an absolute body blow to the idea of american hegemony
