same reason we just elected donald fucking trump. people will always take the easy option that makes them feel good.

then we're boned.

I think thune shows exactly how little they are going to matter. the gop panicked since they caught the truck and had to do a secret ballot to get the establishment, next in line guy in place. if the fix wasn't in, they could have held a regular vote. instead all we can do now is hope that the party that has no spine, suddenly grows one.

at this point, I'm guessing he must be glad his legacy in the middle east will be fulfilled.

These Senators know how much power they have

right, none. the fix has been in for a while now, this train's brakes have failed and all we can do is hang on.

I'm always a fan of torturing a metaphor so yeah, exactly :)

It's been going on for ages but at this point I don't really blame the scorpion anymore. I certainly don't blame the hornets wearing t-shirts, I mean, I don't like them and I will try to exterminate them but not by trying to starve them out with scorpion overpopulation.

Right. And can buy the scorpion and the frog argument the first time around but this time there was NO ambiguity.

how is it that everyone seems to have forgotten about this: https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/23pdf/23-939_e2pg.pdf

trump owns the judicial branch and they put him above the law.

This is what we now have, we just decided the one vote goes to donald fucking trump.

yep, I hate it but at least it's starting to sink in. come jan. we are in a functional trump dictatorship. there are no checks and balances left, the court assured so and with the legislative branch under his control, the single, only hope we have is that he's too hilariously inept to be effective.

that is the eventual plan.

oof, bleak.
