Hmm. There’s one woman that has been so far. If anyone else will be, based on everything that happened so far, it will be another woman, but I am skeptical that it will be that much.

*”The subject is…”, apologies for typo.

Further, does a Governor doing this hold Trump accountable, and in what way? There’s a giant fucking gulf between what a governor may be able to accomplish and actually holding Trump to any standard of accountability. There’s subject is accountability, not stoking anger without a purpose or goal.

Let’s go back to the top: Democrats held a hearing, and people are mad that they perceive nothing has come of it. Were these mythical blue state governors part of that hearing? You found a lever of power, congrats, but do the national Dems that were the initial subject of the discussion hold it?

I liked the Bueno one simply because I can imagine MAGA types complaining, “Even the ads are in Spanish!!”

A compelling call to action. Hammer the truth. Something dramatic. You’ve hit upon a truth here in that there’s no single Democratic leader that is unifying, that can either unite the left and right sides of the Democratic Party and also attract any people away from Trump. What else ya got?

Please point to the levers of power the Democrats currently control that can hold Trump accountable today.

Threads like this are just complaints. Even a thread with an obviously unworkable suggestion of what should otherwise happen would be better. We are in the minority. Getting DHS’ base budget stripped out of the current appropriations bill was a masterstroke Dems don’t even get credit for.

It’s both.

There will not be 67 senators to convict until his popularity drops to single digits. His popularity will not drop to single digits.

If you are directed to be in uniform and march in formation to an event, you are forced. Had what happened with this film happened when I was in, the theater would have remained empty. These service members are right to complain, but this wasn’t in the form of an order actionable under the UCMJ.

I was ordered to stand in formation at parade rest to listen to then First Lady Barbara Bush give a speech. This does not seem especially out of the ordinary.

I see no evidence any evangelicals are melting down over this.

ICE didn’t get their full funding in OBBB. At issue is their base funding which is paltry compared to the funds you mentioned; however, certain classes of federal workers can only funded from base funds, and that’s why this will remain important.

All shutdowns end eventually.

Your analogy isn’t analogous.

Never could get behind Ruan Mei, she seems kind of kooky.

Wasn’t this coined back in the first term of George W Bush? I mean, I see your point, but let’s remember, there was a W and we all thought that it was the worst thing ever, we weren’t all exactly thinking clearly.
