"Nearly doubling to 100 co-sponsors" doesn't mean shit. Talk to me when it's 60 senators and 220 representatives.
We have the most profoundly impotent democratic "leadership" who are completely comfortable with our slide into fascism, even though it'll almost certainly mean the end of their positions of power.
Meaningless, given the Democrats leadership refused to whip against the ICE funding passing. They don't care about ICE or what's happening, they just care that her and Trump are the ones doing it.
Yet they approved ICE funding.
Who gives a shit? They will just replace her with another sycophant. ~~Impeach~~ Remove Trump.
Impeach Trump?
So we can go through that comedic charade? With no leverage?
Call for a general strike until the entirety of ICE is abolished, long with other demands. Shut the entire system down. Break the economy if need be. Snap it's neck. It's not like it serves any one but the billionaires.
Then impeach Trump.
Impeachment ain't done shit. Time to try something stronger.
That was tried too, but he turned his head, got a bloody photo op, and used a dead firefighter's uniform as a prop. I don't think there will be another opening. But it'll probably happen naturally during one of his televised cabinet meeting naps.
As much aspirin as he takes he’d have bled out of it was real. It was faked, therefore it has not been tried.
It was fucking ketchup. There was no mark, no scab, no scar, a week or two later when he took that stupid gauze off.
If an actual bullet grazed his cheek like that, it would have taken half his face as well as his ear. The whole thing was a set-up.
Lead impeachment
A general strike will NEVER happen. People are already afraid to lose their jobs, their homes and food on the table. You will not find numbers great enough to make a change. Hell, you can't even get these bozos to vote let alone take to the streets and potentially lose their jobs.
They said, as it happened, that day in Minnesota.
As it happened? It hasn't happened yet. Even if it does, will it truly do anything?
Ahh the cynics prayer..
It could never happen..
And I even if it is happening, it won't make a difference..
And even if it does make a difference, it's not enough of a difference...
And even if it does result in change, those changes won't last..
Ok, let's have a chat next week then when Trump declares war on whatever country and deploys more ICE assholes to Minneapolis. And the week after that, and the month after that until he dies.
The US had a chance at striking a year ago November and they chose to stay home and do nothing. If given the choice again, they will stay home and do nothing. To hope and pray otherwise is delusional regardless of your witty rendition of the narcissists prayer.
The world isn't made up of like-minded internet commenters. There are less people concerned than you think.
That has been shown to do absolutely nothing. And besides, trump hasn't been the one making decisions for a while.
What we need to do is arrest most of the regime for their many openly committed crimes.
I agree, but who's going to arrest them?
Fuck every last Dem who voted to continue funding ICE - you are just as much traitors as the Gestapo themselves.
It's nothing but more performative politics and as we get closer to midterms, this performance will ramp up even further. They're not going to impeach or remove Noem from office because they condone her actions, I doubt there's going to be a single thing that Democrats are going to roll back once they get back into power. Their ratchet effect will lock it all into place and the entire country will shift further to the right, they've been doing this for decades
Exploding so much that still nothing has happened!
That sounds like political edging.
I’d be happier to read she had exploded.
Who woulda thought a dog killer would be cruel and morally corrupt? No one could have predicted that…
