He has way more confidence in them than I do.
If we are able to get our country back in 2028 whoever the president is then needs to use every bit of their power to arrest and prosecute every single person who went along with Donny’s agenda. If not we will do this all over again, but stupider and worse.
If he pardons them there is nothing anyone can do… legally
Not necessarily. There will still be options for most of them, if we have the political will to play HARD BALL.
Also, it’s important to remember that these people are literally career criminals. They don’t know how to operate legally. Now that we know who they are and what they are up to, we will just prosecute them harshly for their future crimes - and there will be future crimes, they can’t help it.
We just have to hound them for their entire lives. And their families. And their businesses. And their neighbors. Make everyone they know regret their association.
Make them American Pariahs. We could create an actual official list of Wanted Pardoned MAGA Criminals, and if any actionable criminal activity by these specific things individuals is uncovered, there is additional bonus rewards for reporting them. Encourage people to monitor them CLOSELY in every aspect of their lives.
Ah, you mean like last time? Where nothing was prosecuted?
No, like the NEXT time, when we will prosecute and imprison them ruthlessly and mercilessly, and any Democrat that resists will be investigated, prosecuted, and imprisoned as well. Treason will no longer be tolerated by ANYONE.
You work for US! Do your jobs, or else!
That president also needs to close every single loophole Donny exposed.
They won’t tho.
And the entirety of the Joe Biden administration for the genocide in Gaza, and the entirety of the Bush administration for the illegal wars, and the entirety of the Obama administration for the illegal drone strikes, and the entirety of the…
No they won’t. They’ll protect them and post some dramatic tweets about how horrible they are. Centrist Democrats won’t do jack shit. They’re weak and in on the grift.
You would have to be a moron to believe Democrats will hold Republicans responsible for anything.
If the Dems don’t hold MAGA responsible for their many CRIMES, it’s YOUR fault.
Mamdani recently said:
“For far too long our party has seen its job as managing decline instead of delivering material change for working people. It has seen its job as explaining why we cannot instead of showing how we can.”
YOU are part of “managing decline,” either out of cowardice, or by design.
Politicians are generally lazy and greedy, and if you tell them that you expect nothing from them, give them permission to do nothing, and tell them that we’ll do nothing about it, and that’s exactly what they’ll do - Northing - and they’ll go right back to their favorite pastime, Insider Trading.
Last night, 29 year old Democratic Socialist Melat Kiros won her primary over a 15 term incumbent, and said:
"For decades Democrats have failed to meaningfully deliver for working families,” Kiros told POLITICO’s William Steakin late last night following her stunning victory in Colorado’s 1st Congressional District. “We have to root out the corruption and get money out of our politics … It’s about political will — and that means we have to vote out any of the incumbents that are standing in our way by taking that kind of corporate PAC money.”
You are talking about the OLD Democratic Party, the lazy, corrupt losers that helped MAGA gain power, and let them into the White House, TWICE. The MAGA Comedy act of Schmuck & Jeffries are as responsible for that as MAGA itself, and the NEW Democrats that will take over after the Midterms will not will not accept their traditional Corporate Establishment Democratic Identities as Cowardly Weenies. They are being elected to make change, they are taking that charge seriously, and we need to support them with everything we’ve got.
We need to send the message that we will no longer accept them doing nothing. We already elected them once to do something about MAGA, and they fucked us over, and let MAGA back in. If we take it back again, we expect them to deal with MAGA decisively, crush it, and purge it from our government, and our society.
But instead, your response is: “We know you won’t do anything to save us from the MAGA Parasites, but that’s okay, we never really expected your help anyway.”
Ew, gross. Grow a spine.
What do you say we check in on what you make of this statement about a year after midterms?
It won’t be any less true, you’re literally sitting here running interception and making the dude’s point for him.
I’m not American. But when I was in the country I was quite politically engaged. I guess I just wonder what they, or even you, think qualifies as motivating action, because they’ve never responded in the past.
I’m not sure how ‘motivating action’ factors in to the belief that the Democratic party can change. That the Democratic party is changing, especially when looking at the recent wins for the left.
You’d need to help me understand what your point is. If your point is ‘Blue MAGA’ then I’d have to disagree, I have faith in men like Mamdani and young leftists to change the Democratic party.
I wish the best of luck to you!
Well you’re in luck then, because a solid 30% of Americans are in fact morons, with another 20% precariously balanced on a knife edge
The definition of Democrat is changing. The old guard is finally falling. This might actually work out after all. I’m skeptical but hopeful.
So, a Republican?
Democrats won’t, but progressives sure will.
Ever shoot clay pigeons? do you think we could build a clay pidgeon launcher that could shoot a pedo human? Just a physics question.
The thing you’re looking for is a catapult.
I was looking for a low and slow trajectory, but I suppose we can use a catapult coupled with an AI targetting app for the trap shooting. AI can finally be good for something. The cost of the RAM for the terminal to make the AI call will be the real hurdle.
And they shouldn’t?
It’s time to put pedos in jail, not in office.
You mean in the ground
They might even wag their finger at them!
The Democrats are going to investigate your crimes? Are we talking about the same Democrats?
They investigated last time too. They ran out the clock on all the important stuff and nothing of consequence came of any of it but they technically did do quite a few investigations.
Just enough to get a bunch of investigators fired.
if they don’t dish out the death penalty heads will roll
What are the results though? Results are what matter, not intentions
Investigations are great for them politically, why wouldn’t they?
They sweep the house and set up special commissions investigating all of the wrongdoings very publicly and with much ceremony and somber pomp.
Then either they’ll defer the discovered crimes to the justice department to make arrests (these will be ignored) or send impeachment proceedings to the senate (these will be swatted down).
This lets them “do something” without actually making any changes. It will also be coordinated with the media to be the focus of politics for a while and not something dangerous like young anti-capitalist upstarts trying to steal the party they rightfully rigged so long ago.
By making it seem like they’re doing something the can also tamper down some of that anti establishment energy that’s been boiling over recently.
I hope they fucking fail.
Yeah, that does seem to be the safest bet for the current democratic party
Strong worded letter inbound.
Hey hey hey, let’s not shove the pedal to the floor !. There are many less aggressive options to consider before penning a strongly worded letter !
After the Midterms, those strongly worded letters are going to be subpoenas.
Sure, just like last time right?
No, like next time, when they all go to prison.
Why does everybody assume that the Dems are going to do the same things that fucked them up the last time?
The voters want MAGA to be punished for their crimes, and they are electing people who intend to do that. It’s a new world in the Democratic Party. MAGA DINOS are glowing brightly, and we all see who they are. They are as responsible for the rise and resurrection of MAGA as MAGA themselves, and if they don’t actively take a redemption path, they are going to be primaried out in humiliating fashion.
They better get on board, or start punching up their resumes for their next job.
Why does everybody assume that the Dems are going to do the same things that fucked them up the last time?
Because they’ve lived in this country for more than 10 minutes
If that’s the case, then it’s YOUR fault. If you’ve been paying attention, like you imply, you should recognize that there is a powerful new movement in the Democratic Party, and instead of trying to get everybody to surrender in advance, like always, you could support them.
Instead, you’d rather give them permission to fail again, and let them know that you’ll accept it, and guess what? They will. They’d rather go back to their Insider Trading hobby than do their jobs, so if you give them permission to ignore us, they happily will.
Instead of accepting their cowardice, you could scare them into doing their jobs, by threatening to primary them, threatening to vote against them, screaming at their phone call people, demanding they do their jobs, OR ELSE!
Or you can be a weak little pissant who tries to tell those who are fighting for YOU, that they are wasting their time.
Ew, gross, grow a spine.
Oh it’s my fault the entire government is collaborating against us and has been for decades. Ok champ.
Yeah, blue could win everything. They could have a supermajority in both chambers of Congress and pack the Supreme court to have an undeniable majority
And the Democrats would still ensure that no other conservatives see any kind of consequences.
Your tired defeatism is what they are hoping for.
I wasn’t going for tired defeatism, perhaps I didn’t communicate well enough.
Nah you communicated it well, blue just act like democrats are going to do anything lmao
I think you summed it up. Except there certainly will be prosecutions of a few mid level people; like before. I do remember the trials.
Some people feel like if one is hopeful enough, the positive energy will rub off nationally.
However the only way to reform a country is to be realistic
As I’ve been telling any Democratic Coward/ MAGA Quisling that crosses my path: If that happens, it’s your fault.
Statements like that give them permission to do nothing, and tells them that you will do nothing if they do nothing. And that’s exactly what they’ll do - Nothing. YOU are a “Strongly Worded Letter Democrat.”
But the Citizens aren’t doing nothing. Were taking the steps required to make the changes we all want. Right now, progressives are beating incumbents in primaries all over the country. In the Midterms, many of them will win, including several flips from MAGA Red to Progressive Blue. And once they’re in office, there will be changes in leadership, and a new direction.
Those are steps we need to take, and the first one is already successfully under way. These new Dems are NOT going to sit back while DINO leadership defers to MAGA in everything.
IF you truly want the Dems to stand up to MAGA, then DEMAND that, not give them permission to fail, again.
100% We have to show them that covering for their Republican friends will mean no more career for them.
People got a taste of Mamdani and decided that there was, in fact, better options.
Vance is now on record saying if the Nixon scandal happened today it wouldn’t even make it on the news. That is how brazenly corrupt these asshats are.
No apologies, just the smug “we can grift all we want”.
He’s probably not wrong, to be honest. Spying on the opponent seems to be basic campaigning now
Oh Watergate was about far more than that.
I’m not American, so some of the details may have been lost on me. I thought it was that Nixon and his campaign managers had organized for people to break into a DNC office in order to bug it and get insider information about their campaign?
That was just one incident that lead to them being caught.
I wanna see a source for that quote. If it’s real, I’ll laugh my pants off
Seems to be paraphrasing:
“If we lose the midterms, heaven forbid, these Democrats — y’all, impeachment isn’t even the real concern,” the Louisiana Republican told a conservative audience on Friday. “They will turn every committee of Congress into an investigative body, and they’ll go after the president’s family, the Cabinet, his donors, friends, half of you in this room will be targeted.”
The House speaker added, “I run the protection program. I’ll take care of you.”
I’ve heard if you deport them fast enough and send them to a nonextradition country with a supermax prison then you don’t even need to make a case against them. Seems a lot cheaper for the tax payers.
If only the Democrats had that much spine.
Hey, there’s like an infinite number of parallel universes where they do have the spine for it. Sucks we got stuck in the only one where they’re utterly useless.
schumers and the dinos only has spine for israel.
That’s not spine. That’s AIPAC money.
spine made of Aipac money.
lol. You think ANYTHING will happen if the dems win the midterms?
Depends on the dems.
He’s just mad the Dems might steal their tactics
I wish. My money’s on the day one agenda being to pass some mealymouthed resolution about a return to decorum or something equally pissweak.
I expect disappointment as well
Is it disappointment if you expect it? Or is it just resentment? Eh semantics. I’m just waiting for the economic crash so people finally are uncomfortable enough to do something about all this.
Spoiler alert: the something they will do about all this will make it worse.
I just want to know how Dem oppo research hasnt been able to get a copy of Mike Johnson’s hidden cpu partitions.
i remember him saying something similar a few months ago. don’t remember the quote though
I’ll still vote blue begrudgingly, but I have very very VERY little faith in Dem leadership will do anything meaningful like putting the current administration in prison. I’m already expecting to be massively disappointed in the Dems doing fuck all if they gain power back. Love to be proved wrong, but establishment Dems still hold the party and you can’t trust any of those stock trading bastards.
That’s why you need to vote for the farthest left primary hand didn’t matter how “unelectable” or “extreme” you were told they are because electing more centrists is the same as just selecting more Republicans
Yeah and just hope that the ones with a death count and literal Nazi tattoos aren’t plants.
putting the current administration in prison.
What powers, exactly, do you think they’d have if elected? They can investigate but they do not have the ability to put people in prison. The legislature and judiciary are separate branches.
If we’re not stupid enough to refuse to vote again, we’re just going to go back to spouting these impossible expectations and then blaming Democrats when they can’t do it.
If they don’t investigate anything then sure, they deserve to be criticized to hell and back.
