We have have lost all civic virtue. And moral compass.
The worst part of this isn’t even the bigoted old man going on an appalling rant, it’s the crowd of supposed leaders standing frozen behind him. At some point it is your solemn duty to whatever you believe to be good, holy, and decent to announce “This is horrific and wrong,” and walk out.
Trump, continued: "What the Somalian people have done to Minnesota is not even believable. It’s not even believable. And a lot of it starts with the governor. A lot of it starts with Barack HUSSEIN Obama, because that’s when people started coming in... They want to kiss our country good night."

"It’s become clear that Roberts’ promise to be a neutral umpire was a lie. We are watching a rigged game, and Roberts set it up. The Roberts court has spent Trump’s second term not applying the law so much as clearing it out of his way."

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.
Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

So let me get this right, Trump’s plan was:
1. Tariff everything to help the economy (it didn’t)
2. Claim consumers aren’t paying tariffs (we are)
3. Panic & roll back food tariffs b/c you created an affordability crisis (we told you)

Democrats have to stop bailing out Republicans from facing the consequences of their own policies. And yeah, that means they have to stop sparing voters from experiencing what GOP government truly means.
Every time Dems step in, it only emboldens the GOP & they make it even worse the next time.

So Democrats get:
1. A CR that will prevent the GOP from facing the wrath of Americans for a shutdown over the holidays
2. A coupon for one (1) meaningless ACA vote that will fail
3. An end to the illegal RIF/SNAP moves that are already before the courts
Those all seem like wins for the GOP.

I’ll keep pushing this line of analysis because I’m increasingly convinced the clearest path out of this mess is for Dems to adopt a relentless anti-corruption, anti-inequality, anti-oligarchy, pro-democracy platform. The Dem leadership hasn’t realized it yet, but they’re now a reform party.
