"Democrats will get a bad ruling from the parliamentarian and they'll say, 'welp, what could we possibly do?' Whereas the Republicans are like, 'the parliamentarian says we can't do that so let's just get a new fucking parliamentarian.' And that's a microcosm for the broader fight."

So while the courts and Congress...the system...can grind the gears some, stopping this Fourth Reich will require Blue states to band together and step up.
Was Republicans picking a sympathetic parliamentarian a good outcome?
Is breaking the rules a good thing? Is "Democrats should break the rules" really where we want to go?
Or should the attitude be "we should do more to force Repubs to follow the rules"?
Hall monitor Schumer ain't gonna stop a bully like Trump by pleading decorum.
Likewise, following the rules is a separate vector from decorum.
Decorum usually involves following rules, but you can follow rules and be indecorous (and indeed most enforcement of rules is not decorous).
Not the idea that they should be also breaking said rules.
Why is he leader? Sometimes you have to break rules.
So that's:
Presidency:
Democrats: 13 years
Republicans: 12 years
Congress:
D: 6 years
R: 9 years
Split: 10 years
Don't think Dems are the major problem here.
The folks who wrote it are long dead. Rules are meant to be renewed from time to time. Substantially, and incrementally.
I stopped watching.
By order of SCOTUS 2024
I don't see trump's ruination of the federal government & unraveling of our Constitution & the Rule of Law as part of his official duties.
How could a president's dismantling of democracy be within the scope of his official acts?
Dems and Reps are not playing the same game or following the same rules, and it shows.
This ain't Jerry Springer.
The Dems really don't know how to fight in this game.
Elbows UP ... fcukin' Dems!
Good golly...😠
HAVE YOU EVER THOUGHT OF RUNNING FOR .... OH, I DON'T KNOW ............... MAYBE SECRETARY OF EDUCATION [WHEN WE GET IT BACK]?
SERIOUSLY!
If Dems won't lead, then they should be out of office. #PutUpOrShutUp
#ResignSchumer
Live to fight another day.
And stop shooting at fellow Democrats.
It’s not a fight to come; it’s here.
I hope the anti-GOP party can find their voice and their strength really fucking fast.
Republicans in Congress are doing it now with Trump and DOGE, too.
Jesse Waters explained it best, Trump posts, Elon retweets, Rogan podcasts and Fox broadcasts.
Democrats are always clarifying misinformation vs bringing new viral topics to the fight that make Republicans and MAGATS uncomfortable with supporting Trump
Lots of us think you could do some good out there.
Dems long for respect, and don't.
This is the essence of both parties in America.
This is why the republic died.
Playing by the rules only works if everyone is playing by the rules. Otherwise you're a chump who will lose everytime.
They're paid to Look like they're fighting the republicans but when they fail, they still get paid
My personal take is less double-agent and more lazy, complacent, and privileged, but their motives matter less than their silence and indolence at this vital moment when action is needed.
Huge observation that is simple enough for folks to understand: we need to FIGHT.
There are no rules.
he thinks the justice system will intervene
as today we see Trump's DOJ refusing a 30yr fed judge's 2nd chance and Trump saying he needs to be impeached on the same day he's trying to influence the Fed and is signing Executive Order to end Dept of Ed
There are ways to stonewall his agenda, we just haven’t seen any democrat leaders with a spine. At least in the senate.
This is one of the real reasons the left loses: Because our reaction to Republicans breaking things is never "let's hold Repubs accountable for breaking things", it's "why don't Democrats also break things".
The actual move should be to put things back together and work harder to enforce the other side also keeping it put together.
And you do that by enforcing the rules being broken.
Not by breaking them yourself. That's just you also wielding the power of destruction.
And then everyone in between you is dead from getting caught in the crossfire.
GG with the resulting Pyrrhic victories there.

Democrats are fucking worthless and no help at all.
We have to do this ourselves.
Republikkkans are a threat to us and to the world. Republikkkans are the problem.
We have to come up with a solution to this problem.
Get aggressive.

He who plays by the rules get shafted.... proven fact!
Dems have to play different because the game has been rigged for Republicans all the way back to “Only Nixon can go to China”
“Rules apply to everyone” is the foundation of that party.
They have been the minority for decades and only win through gerrymandering, fraud, and election interference.

Follow the data for the past 30 years and you'll see the truth. They are the MINORITY.
We outnumber them and we will WIN.
They disagree yell at you and do whatever they want to do anyway
What was 🍊💩’s quote?
“Grab them by the pussy”
A country of rape
Dems: Dept of Ed; Aid to other countries; fair laws to protect all.
MAGA: Tore all that down; if you're not one of us you're enemies of the state.
Solution: Dems stop trying to be fair to other side
Criticize all you want but don't distort the facts in your quest to make a point.
