Right. Democrats putting up a fight. Sure.
lol yeah what the hell is that headline? Some democrats are already turning against the trans community 🙄
Please explain this to me, I keep seeing comments like this but haven’t seen any related article etc.
2-3 democrats shortly after the election made public comments and/or internet posts that were either anti or dismissive of trans people. Couldn’t tell you the names at this point but I googled the phrase “democrats turn on trans” and got enough hits to read more about it
Thanks!
I’m not gonna believe it unless he cries on tv
This reeks from industrial levels of Copeium completely untethered to the new reality which faces the 119th Congress, when The Supreme Court is still controlled by Republicans, both houses are controlled by Republicans and Donald Trump is once again the President. This is publishing for the sake of publishing, it should not be construed as anything you can hang your hat on.
To be fair, they controlled both the House and the Senate in 2016, too. They didn’t have the courts, yet, but they soon did. And they still barely agreed on anything.
It’s a much different GOP this time around. Before Trump was the new guy. The Outsider. This time he is the party. This time everyone has to kiss his ring and owes their entire power base to him.
This time they have to decide who among them will take his mantle in 2028. Whoever it is needs to be ready in 2027, so the hunger games are starting sooner than you think.
Yeah, the GOP is weird because they are all on the same page in terms of talking points (disinformation) and voter suppression, but once they get in power none of them can agree, and none of them take it seriously.
Because you have two primary camps there right now - the corpocratic old guard and the nationalistic new guard. The nationalists were never actually supposed to have power, they were just meant to be an easily manipulable voter base. It’s not even the first time they’ve had an ‘inmates running the asylum’ situation because the exact same thing happened with racists when they tried the Southern Strategy.
I think we also got a taste of this with the Tea Party movement on the Right. They wanted to break everything and cared very little about actually governing. It’s about hurting people and sowing bad faith discourse.
Doubt. The House isn’t the Senate, the minority can’t do shit.
The senate minority cant do shit either. The senate filibuster rules are enforced by the parliamentarian, who the vice president can overrule. Doesn’t even need to abolish filibuster

As they should

As with the last congress, the new one will have very slim margin and Johnson will need Democrats to get anything done.
I believe we will find, that with no firewalls, and no checks to Trump unmitigated threat of revenge, we will see any Republicans stand up to him again. You’re thinking in terms of present day back to 2016 when Trump’s win was a surprise, and he didn’t know where the buttons on the dash were yet. It’s 8 years later, and he’s got a team assembled for raw power, and vengeance. Let’s meet back here in 12 months and discuss the amount of times Republicans were thwarted in their majorities, I’m pretty sure it’s going we’re going to have zero examples of “Johnson needing Democrats” for anything at all
We shall see, but I’ve seen congressional Republicans described in two groups. Maga and hate maga. All it takes is three or so. Trump has already lost power in the Senate with the refusal to recess and Gaetz, and it’s more than a couple of months before he’s sworn in.
Oh bless their hearts, they think they hold power.
Well they lost majority so fat chances.
They won’t even fight to give their base basic requests like, please stop using our votes to kill innocent people.
Fuck off if you think Israel was a partisan issue in the recent election.
They are going to TP his chair.
Classic democrat pranksters!
Someone’s going to sneak a fart bag on his chair right before he sits down, and everyone will laugh at him!
“We really, really mean it this time.”
Bullshit
Naw, step out of their way. US voters asked for this. Don’t give the dipshits one reason to blame anything that’s coming on Dems. Give the people what they want.
Sure Jan
Wishful fucking thinking.
Awesome, glad you decided to do your job after throwing the fight
Oooo They are going to write such a strongly worded memo!
