After the omnibus you could tell they checked out for the year. This was planned all along. They’re done with democracy and funded their personal army.
"If conservatives become convinced that they cannot win democratically, they will not abandon conservatism. The will reject democracy."
It's important people understand this quote was made by a diehard republican.
Isn't it Barry Goldwater?
David Frum, speechwriter for George W. Bush and an outspoken member of the neocon movement of that era. He was apparently one of the "never Trump" Republicans who foresaw the coming disaster before the 2016 election. He has since left the Republican party and written two books titled Trumpocracy and Trumpocalypse.
Those things run on fiscal years, not calendar years.
But if the House resumes, they have to sit the new members, which means there's enough to force a procedural vote on releasing the Epstein list.
They'd rather prevent that then do the single filibuster proof bill a year they can get past the Senate.
trump will just keep doing shit and fighting in court than try to pass real laws.
The risk for them is all this combined with the DNC finally pulling their heads out of their ass and fighting for down allot spots again.
We're not just gonna see a blue wave, we're gonna see an actual.progressive wave of people who want to fight fascism.
As much as I'd like to see the birth of an actual progressive party, I think it's more likely we'll see the birth of a more moderate version of a Republican party; voters that would today vote for a Bush Jr President over a trump.
I think we'll see some real progressives, but billionaire elites like Koch, Thiel, etc. are going to let that happen over their dead bodies. They've come this far, and they're damn sure not going to let some idiot kids force them to give up even 1% more of their power/money. Until they're dealt with appropriately (legally), we're not going to have real progressive change.
Deal.
You know? My tinfoil hat says this is why Trump wants to push the Insurrection Act through. Then when it’s pushed through, they can resume the session and when they try and bring the vote for releasing the files he has all Dems arrested for treason.
I think it’ll be widespread violence. We’re seeing death throes.
