It’s over fellas. He ain’t fucking leaving regardless of the votes

No defenders left here except for a few trolls. You may want to post over on Daily Texan which has become the Cloak Room for the right.

And his team CHEERS this. That’s why it’s all over.

Picture this in my best Irish accent:

”Geezuz Christ man. You constantly keep projecting that the Republican Party is the majority of this country. It ain’t. The 2018 midterms should have taught you that sonny boy. 

Yes yure right. The Republican Party is long gone. I see that and agree and its become a fascist party hell bent on destroyin’ the country. But its not in absolute power, yet. You can’t surrender the fight before it’s already over. Those fascists fucks haven’t won yet and 2018 should have it least given ya little pause on that.

Maybe its just the whiskey talking now laddie, but ya cant be givin up on us so easily now sonny boy!”

Very true. Just take a look at the coronavirus thread and all the far right, conspiracy sources that are being cited ranging from sketchy Twitter sources linked to Info Wars to the fucking Epoch Times.

That oughta do it, thanks very much Chuck.

I’m sure they will just kinda sorta impeach him again giving the President another opportunity to have his attorneys attach authoritarian powers to his inevitable acquittal.

The sooner the current Democrat party leadership immolates itself the better.

I’d really like to know what Democratic Senators  can do at this point, and I’m not being sarcastic. McConnell clearly isn’t interested in passing legislation, so it’s not like they can block anything. What can they do but investigate and hold hearings? Wait for other articles of impeachment from the House?

I honestly don’t know what other power they’ve  got.

Without exception, I've never heard anybody that isn't a total cunt use the term "Democrat party".

I always wonder if they adopted that phrase consciously or not. Was it a choice or did it just happen without them knowing it? Are they weak-willed or weak-minded?

Dont fall for it, Goredho.

It has a long history of usage as an epithet.

Edit: But I feel like it's really picked up steam in the last 20 years as I don't really remember it being used much prior to 2000.

I think Palin may have used it but I really never noticed it used consistently until Trump came along. And I don't recall hearing anyone in the real world parrot it until now.

It was used regularly during the Bush 2 years and was especially pushed by Turd Blossom and his acolytes. I vaguely recall one main reason was because it was found in focus groups to evoke a negative response, because the word Democrat rhymes with rat. I honestly don’t think I’m making that up.

I took a glance at that Wiki link and saw that Frank Luntz focus grouped it in 2001. I'm not sure but he might have also been instrumental in the rebranding of "global warming" as "climate change" to make it sound less menacing. That dude is a total piece of shit but he's skilled at manipulating simple minds and that makes him very useful to the GOP.

I could see it coming down to the House having to use Inherent Contempt on Bill Barr.  And if you can’t imagine the WH/GOP getting so unlawful that the House has no recourse but to forcefully cinch the gov purse, be glad that remains a viable option under the most dire circumstances.

You really don't realize that the power of the purse has been taken from congress? Trump has been reallocating funds across the board for his border wall, and declining to disburse legally mandated funds when it suits his policy. And the majority party in power in the majority of the government not only supports it, but endorses it as a way to get around the "do nothing dems"

We're fucked. Well past the tipping point of a totalitarian government, we're just still picking up speed.

No--it's just that Democratic seems like it would be all encompassing as in we have a Democratic form of government rather than a term just belonging to one party.  Until now that is.  But that's why some of us say Democrat party vs Democratic.  But yeah, I can be a total cunt as well.

No, there was a concerted effort by right wing media to propagate the use of Democrat in place of Democratic which was gleefully taken up by their witless cunt GOP followers.

Imo, the Senators (R and D) have the power that the voters give them. The constitution seems to have used as ass-wipe a long time ago, so that's worthless, and the  Chief Republican Operative, er John Roberts doesn't have the balls to do anything. 

So, get out and vote these dipshits out of office. 

[Nivek 16861]

Lulz, you think this wasn’t part of the plan. When they organized political talking points, change the laws to allow for propaganda disguised as news, a cult of personality is the natural consequence.

Becoming?

We waited too long. Acting like the Constitution had special magical properties that would keep the status quo in place even while the people charged with enforcing it treated it as toilet paper. But hey stock market has grown, I still have health insurance, a nice car, and went to a nice restaurant last Friday. So why worry about what some morons in DC are doing

It’s like missing the early detection/treatable phase of cancer. Daily life was normal beyond entering the stage of a tragically foreshortened future.
