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
You would have to be a moron to believe Democrats will hold Republicans responsible for anything.
The definition of Democrat is changing. The old guard is finally falling. This might actually work out after all. I’m skeptical but hopeful.
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
Yes, that’s…how it works.
No it doesn’t. Democrats don’t do that. At least not well
Hey now, Chuck Schumer probably has a very strongly worded letter just in the chamber, ready to rip.
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.
No, it’s your fault for accepting it, and assuming they will do nothing the next time, and allowing them to do nothing with no consequences.
Now they are seeing consequences. A 15 term do-nothing Rep was just beaten in the primaries by a KID! And there is a lot more of that going on, and it has become apparent to EVERYONE that we are on a new path.
You can be part of the old, weak, cowardly Democratic establishment, and help them crush this new trend, or you can get on board and give it more fuel.
If you don’t, then yeah, whatever bad happens is your fault.
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
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.
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…
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!
