No, but it must be strategic. TFG is merely the figurehead; the true issue is with the Heritage Foundation, Alliance Defending Freedom, and a host of other organizations and individuals with billionaire backing and a penchant for control.

And what about the Republican ecosystem that brought this mess to the WH and Congress? Getting rid of those two does nothing when you look at the line of succession...

NPR sanewashing a racist policy? Wild.

Wild that this is an actual article @nytimes.com proudly printed; I legit thought it was @nytpitchbot.bsky.social because how TF are they really so out of touch.

After being there 10 hours a day (not including commute), I'm going home to my family and friends. Go back to WFH, and I'd go, but 40 hours a week in the office is plenty.

We know. Now what are we going to do about it because Democrats sure aren't up to the task.

I'm not sure "stunned" is accurate for any internal reaction of this administration. They are violating the Constitution everyday; they don't care.

Oklahoma voter apathy will vote for those supporting this mess.

@nytimes.com you are sanitizing the bribery and corruption. Stop acting like we aren't outraged and protesting; we are. You arent obviously. Mind-blowing how your narration of this entire situation could be and should be so different.

I mean the previous administration was growing the economy and doing better than most peer nations after covid. But yeah, let's break it so Republicans can "fix" it.

Being a grown woman and making money off of being a hateful trash can.

How do we know they are, in fact, ICE agents? They are not clearly identified.

It isn't one man; it's the entire Republican ecosystem enabling him.

Not sure what you're replying to, but Dems are center-right not left in any sense of the word anymore. I don't support working with anyone who believes I don't deserve bodily autonomy or the right to vote or that fascism is a vibe or support violating the Constitution.

I'm not sure what party you're looking at, but the DNC has been moving right for a decade, and it isn't a good look. The last election should be a wake-up call to go back to the liberal basics.

Oh, so you're going the same way we are--cowardly media who suck up to billionaires. Philanthropy is nice, but it does not replace taxation.

The fact that we are having to defend birthright citizenship is asinine. At some point the media will have to stop reporting as if this isn't a full-on Constitutional crisis.

You're clearly not up to the task at hand. You should all resign. This is beyond inept; it's abdication of duty.

Are you legit touting a NPW while we are seeing the sitting president accept a $400 million bribe in broad daylight, police k!lled another young Black man, masked men purported to be ICE are kidnapping people, Medicaid is about to be gutted and any number of other issues? STOP. DO YOUR JOB.

Love how the article is behind a paywall...as if I would ever pay for NYT journalism again. Normalizing violating the Constitution isn't journalism; it's propaganda.

He's not wrong, though. 80 million voted for him, and he gained votes this time around.

It's racism. Plain and simple.

@nytimes.com it's isn't politics; it human trafficking.

And he will take it with him when he goes...fvcking mind-blowing how the parties with the power to stop this won't do a damn thing.

They aren't accusations; it is in direct violation of the Emoluments Clause in the US Constitution. If you aren't going to call it what it is, then stop reporting on it.

@washingtonpost.com kissing his butt and not calling it what it is will not save you.

They have the right to inspect the facilities by law. How any sitting Congressperson isn't outraged is beyond me.

They genuinely believe their lies. Wild.

I was speaking currently, but the Republicans allowed a malignant narcissist who openly bragged about assaulting women to be on their ticket--not once but twice. Biden didn't interfere with Garland; we don't want a president directing the prosecution of political rivals.
comment in response to

Let's lay the blame where it belongs: Congress members who have abdicated their duties andrefuse to go against him and follow the Constitution. This is not on Biden.

That might work if Newsom had actually pushed back on their idiocy; he didn't. Also, that centrist attitude is what brought us to TFG 2.0. The Democrat party moving to the right to pick up conservative voters who didn't like TFG cost them many more left votes. And him dunking transwomen was $hitty.

It's a little weird how people fail to connect the machinery of the Catholic Church hiding abuse scandals literally all over the world and the leader of the church every time a new Pope pops up.

And I'm sure it didn't include the lifetime benefits of members of Congress.

That might be believable if conservatives didn't absolutely loathe Newsom and CA and would inclined to listen to his podcast.

On brand for the current administration.

Any Pope is going to be deeply problematic due to their misogyny and determination to continue to subjugate women. They also protect r@pist priests. No one in their leadership has clean hands.

It's been a long decade, but the real turning point regarding all of those issues was when Republicans saw that being despicable got TFG elected the first time. He gave them permission to be loudly and proudly racist and xenophobic and Republicans rejoiced in the permission.

We both know Newsom is not platforming them "find out what they're thinking," as you stated--especially after bragging about his kid liking Kirk. As for vaccines, historically, people have cared about kids getting vaccines because of herd immunity.

They kind of already are back to business as usual except for a small number of them.

They may not be literally tearing it into shreds, but they are actively working against every principle of it. So, same thing.

He is, and he has immense power. The republican ecosystem will follow anyone who is a white, straight, cisgender male--no matter how awful.
