Fucking astonishing.
We are told to be quiet about impeachment efforts even as we get the creeping suspicion that multiple impeachable acts are occurring daily that major media simply decides to give no notice to.
Goddamnit, if only America had some real journalists left in DC!

Complaining about immigration destroying New York City is like lamenting that gambling has ruined Las Vegas.

And apparently it's not with centrist Democrats thinking they need to be BFF with Trumplicans. Democratic socialism sells like universal health care, public hospitals, fire departments, schools, highways . . . even Social Secutity.

Socialism as in Social Security? George and Heath still swoon over Ronald Reagan's pro-billionaire bullshit.

Does military "professionalism" include refusing to obey illegal and/or immoral orders?

I yearn for the days when all we had to worry about was, "a crowd of kids up to no good".

Big difference between AOC and Jefferies. We need many more like AOC in office.

But that isn't the available choice. The available choice is working with the reality of American politics. Or just pulling the covers up and staying in bed. There's that choice too.

And youngsters have an oldsters problem. I learned that in 1968 when I voted for Dick Gregory rather than Hubert Humphrey and stupidly helped elect Nixon. Youthful idealism is important but not necessarily rational in American politics.

I'm disappointed with the lack of meaningful democratic opposition to Trump. I'm also old enough to have learned not to throw the baby out with the bathwater.

Neither Obama nor Biden sanctioned unidentified masked thugs. Get a grip on yourself.

We have what we have and whining wont change that. What could change is growing a larger democratic coalition to win elections, rather than factionalizing and losing them.

Participatory democracy is about voting for the least worse candidate. It's not about electing starry eyed rainbows. If you voted for Trump, a starry eyed third party candidate no chance, or just didn't vote, then you voted for Trump.

More "Democratic and Republican parties are the same" nonsense.

Trump is the Dictator. He doesn't need to sell anything. The military do his bidding just like ICE and other "federal law enforcement" does his bidding with masked faces with no ID or vehicle license plates.

House slow pokes might just go for Articles of Impeachment. Why not? What have you got to lose now that we've all lost American democracy to Dictator Trump and his billionaire enablers.

If an expert on "on immigration law and policy" can't figure out who the sudden American Gestapo actually is, and who is actually directing them, it may be time for Americans to fight back with the same tactics.

I think that your human values are as selfish as Trump's. You're an embarrassment to himanity.

Ego based religious beliefs empower nationalism and fundamentalism and the so-called prosperity gospel.

Democracy is far safer with much less disparity in wealth and income. I say no billionaires.

If you're desperate for fighters and only have an opportunistic piece of shit, do you abandon the later on principle and concede or do you fight with what you have? I recall Donald Rumsfeld commenting on this predicament once.
