    “May sink?” … bad news, we have sunk. We sunk in it the minute Trump got elected.

      We sunk in it the minute Trump got elected.

      imho we were sunk when the architects of J6 went unprosecuted. literal insurrection on hallowed ground, they smeared shit in the capitol, and now… they want to act like it wasn’t even them, it was fbi setup.

          you aren’t wrong at all.

          LBJ let Nixon do a bit o treason to get the job in the first place. Even called it treason.

          Then we let Reagan do a bit of treason -agan with reach-around negotiations - to get the job from Carter.

          Then a bit of brooks bros treason-er-riot so we get bushy.

          I keep on hearing about this ‘both sides are just as bad’ but I never see the Dems pushing a candidate in via treason.

          funny that.

        Depends on how you define sinking/sunk. If you purposefully shoot a hole in the bottom of a boat the ship is sunk … if you purposefully elect a guy that says he will be a dictator on day 1 democracy is sunk.

        The purposeful act sinks the boat … bail all you want, its over.

          There is wide latitude between Kim Jong Un and Putin. Between Putin and Mao.

          It can get better or worse and that will always be true.
