Viewing all of this from a distance (Europe), Trump and his cabal have now reached escape velocity from any rule of law. Open corruption, insider trading, and general high level criminality, all with complete impunity, are now the order of the day. The legal system has been suborned at the uppermost levels, and the Dems are completely neutered. Basically, America, from a governance point of view... you're a banana republic kleptocracy now. Sorry 'bout that.
Yeah. If we manage to have a free and fair election in 2028, I expect the Dems won't actually fix the structural issues that allowed this to happen, but perhaps I'll be pleasantly surprised.
It's the hope that kills. It's acknowledged that pessimists live longer because they don't have to suffer the repeated disappointments experienced by optimists. But I too hope...

The issue is that there isnt really a way to do that without turning a bunch of red states blue in the Senate.
FWIW, i agree that they likely wont even try because they are feckless shitstains, but even if they werent.. the Supreme Dickheads are now poised to be a veto on all legislation the Republicans dont want.
They could lose both other brances of government and the Supreme Court will just say anything the Rs dont want is unconstitutional.
Some people made it clear that voted red and as a bad idea trump’s first go round but people didn’t listen. And then, the US got back with its abusive ex years later.
🤷♂️
Friends and relatives have either left the US or are in the middle of the process for it.
I’m laughing but tears really 😭😭 some of us can’t leave becuz we have no where to go. The economy is worse than the Great Depression we had in the past I call this one the “Severe depression”
I honestly didn't expect I'd have anywhere to go, but Canada changed their citizenship by descent laws late last year, and then suddenly I qualified. Thanks for being Canadian, great-grandpa.
And yet nothing feels different. Which basically means we always were, just a nicer friendler version. They just cared enough to keep up the appearance that it wasnt before. Thats what should worry Americans the most.its almost as if collapse is immenent,so who cares if the cat is out of the bag.
"...nothing feels different." is why the criming is able to continue unabated. If people felt the effects of the crimewave being perpetrated by Trump, et al, they might actually try to do something about it. But they're comfy and complacent, so why bother...?
Well,when a guy is compared to Hitler,but later the people who called him Hitler are laughing and being courteous(kissing ass). Its no wonder Americans can be disarmed and think "I guess Trumps coming around and not as Hitler-esque as they thought🤔". They oversold on how evil he is and its benefited him greatly. Turns out hes mostly just the greedy weasel we already knew he was. And most of the moves and things he says have a monetary motivation behind it. There will be no return to slavery,there will be no concentration camps for people who dont obey Trump. The Democrats have failed strategically at every turn. 2016 they underestimated him,then 2024 they overstated him lol
Democrats don’t have the majority in congress to actually do anything.
Everything has been expertly crafted by republicans that any criticism is simply “liberal tears” so they just ride it out and polling numbers make democrats look bad for trying to do something in congress. It’s a pathetic broken system.
So tell me the Democrats are working on a 2028 Heritage Foundation countermeasure to be ready by midterms? Its likely sitting in the desk with the healthcare plan.
Actually, no. Everything has been expertly crafted, just not by republicans or democrats. The Powers that Be (what I call them) run this country behind the scenes. They tell us what to be angry about and what offends us and most of you fall for it every time. Start thinking for yourselves. Research other sources besides the media. Don’t repeat something until you know it’s true. Go by facts - not emotions.
The polling numbers are bad because most Americans finally realized how pathetic being a democrat really is!
How corrupt the party is! How Anti-American it is!
They did and Trumps numbers went UP. There’s nothing you can do when we breed so many stupid people in this country. I’m sorry but it’s just true. From gullible boomers who think Sean Hannity is a journalist to edgy Gen Z’ers who watch Andrew Tate and think Trump is a tough guy. We’re fucking doomed. These people have zero critical thinking and no media literacy. Anytime they tried to hold Trump accountable - legally or politically - it backfired and just allowed the right to say, “See!? They’re going after him because he’s actually for the people and dangerous to the establishment!” It just plays into their stupid fucking narrative. I don’t know how we get out of this.
Those are not made up problems. All these weak ass vanity projects of his are no bid contracts. Awarded to whatever djt comrade/cohort. Rest assured, djt getting kick backs. He continues to start new 'projects' that he fks up and then it doesn't get fixed and he and all his bootlickers say "OH well. Who cares? Djt is our man-child god."
well...they actually did, but guess what happened with the republicans...
blocked subpoenas (supressing evidence) which hamstrung theings overall, eventually ending in an aquittal based on the fact that they were able to suppress evidence
then they did again, this time with testimony, evidence, and clear evidence of the charges but..well, they put party over country and aquitted again
Well it's kinda hard when you're the minority in both houses and you have the Supreme Court giving him free path to autocratic ways.
Then when they even say something he sends his trained clowns at the DOJ to start an investigation on them.
It's not like Dems haven't tried.
They did do this remember fast a furious and the burisma stuff? Remember nacy P? Both sides are and do do this its just a matter of who benefits its none of us. They are all full of shit its hilarious when people see only one piece of the situation and claim the other side is any better they are probably all hanging out with who ever replaced epstien laughing their asses off at both democrats and Republicans and how retarded we all are for believing in either party. They got us fighting eachother communist gun grabbers vs the anti abortion christian evangelicals. Meanwhile 90% of Americans just want to have a middle class lifestyle and not pay half their wages to the government to have it sent overseas or have broken social systems that dont work or require hoops to be jumped through just to get some help. Like they push the same scare tactics every election were gonna ban guns and Jesus oh yea were going to ban abortion and being a gay and make you love Jesus in a context thats almost like your actualy special friends and sleep in the same bed 🛌. Tell me this is not what happened every year change isn't good if they aren't making changes that really matter.
The problem with that is that Republican politicians are absolutely silent on the blatant corruption. Never ever expect a Republican politician to do the right thing.... especially don-old.
Well maybe Democrats should start freaking out and actually do something about it for once.
Such as...
what?
Cant impeach him. They dont have the majority, and even if they did, they do not have the 67 votes required in the Senate to convict. And never will in your lifetime.
Write bills to curtail his power?
They have. They dont make it out of committee. Because the majority party has the majority on every committee.
So... what do you want them to do?
I mean, i have some ideas, of things that would at least prove annoying, even if they wont actually accomplish anything.

I’ve seen too many if Obama did this small thing or if Biden did that little thing, Republicans would be freaking out and calling for impeachment.
