Yep. Keep capitulating to this monster. Don't worry, he'll change for you. You can change him. He's only 80, a convicted felon, and an adjudicated rapist with 67 sex-crime allegations on him. Just keep rolling over. If you roll over enough maybe we can have the whole fucking world in flames by 2028.

Absolutely correct
American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

This is what modern Democrat leadership has become; Republicans know they can wait them out, and the Democrats themselves will cave.
Democratic leaders are far more concerned about 'looking moderate' than doing the right thing.

This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful.
Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened.
This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.

Huh. I’m starting to like this guy.
His first major text describes protecting the climate, welcoming migrants and pursuing economic justice as sacred obligations. To admirers Pope Leo XIV is a compassionate reformer; to critics, the “commie” or “woke pope” econ.st/47Lk2pM

A completely unsurprising list of the Democratic Senators who voted with Republicans to end the shutdown. Make no mistake, however, there are many more who would have voted in favor as well if they didn’t fear for their seats.
As I’ve said from the start, the Democrats aren’t up to this fight.

His "concept" of a Healthcare Plan is finally revealed. It involves eliminating the Insurance Industry & people purchasing their OWN, MUCH BETTER, HEALTHCARE. Unrelated, note his obsessive envy of Obama, historically rated 1 of our finest presidents, who he still believes was born in Kenya.

Donald Trump claims to be "Pro-Life." Indeed, he was the first sitting president to attend the annual March for Life.
But this didn't stop him from conspiring with Elon Musk to kill 600,000 (so far) people, 2/3 of them children. You see, when Elon says we need more children he means *white* ones.
