Democrats will/may likely win this November elections. Great.

But they still need to make a ton of changes within the party.

Winning simply because the other side is much worse is not a viable, long-term strategy. Why do you think they've lost twice to this orange convicted felon??

Imagine if Ds did the J6 insurrection -- how many elected Ds would be in jail right now?? Answer: many!

Rs do one thing better than Ds: they act!! (as opposed to writing stern letters)

"Endemic" indeed.

If the below even remotely comes true, I will leave the D Party. Enough. It's bad enough Biden/Garland didn't pursue & prosecute, instead choosing bygones. If it happens again, I'm done.

Trump’s Own Advisers Suddenly Unnerved as ICE Raids Take Horrific Turn
So the president doesn’t like the “optics” of what ICE is doing. But there’s no such thing as sanitized, popular mass deportations—and this is by design.

The Democrats always whine that they don't have the power to do X or Y. They do it now and they do it when they're in power (the majority).

Meanwhile Trump & Rs actually do X or Y, daring courts to say no.

Let's be real. The reason the Senate keeps the filibuster is to allow members to hide and not have to vote and be on record for or against something.
If the something does not garner at least 60 votes, it never sees the light of day for a vote -- allowing certain Senators to escape accountability.

So he's talking about invoking the Insurrection Act and cancelling midterm elections, and elected Democrats are 100% powerless to do anything -- do I have that right?

(and I'm not counting: write stern letters, post angry tweets, appear on MSNOW, etc. -- all performative and/or weak sh*t)
January 15, 2026 at 8:21 PM
Much truth in jest.

And how many times in the past have we been told he's joking, only to find out he was completely serious & not joking at all??

He is readying to cancel November elections. Scoff at your peril.

Elon Musk, Feb 2025: "America should mind its own business rather than push for regime change all over the place"

Elon Musk, Jan 2026: "Congratulations, President Trump! This is a win for the world and a clear message to evil dictators everywhere."

He's a joke.

Stephen Miller says no matter what ICE does, they're protected by federal immunity. Kill innocent US citizens, murder, harass -- no worries ICE goons, you're fully protected.

Maybe John Roberts wants to weigh in, clarifying that POTUS is fully immune, just POTUS (which is wrong).

Just when you thought there were no decent people left working for this POTUS, six more resign.

Of course this means the remaining group of employees are that much more repugnant.
