    This is fucking insane. I don’t think the POTUS should be threatening every single citizen of the country like that.

    I also don’t think a rapist, pedophile, conman, felon, grifter, old ass pudding brain should be POTUS.

    The higher prices are directly from his tariffs and war and people should know that. Last time, however, prices were not Biden’s fault and economy had recovered better than most places, but the people wrongly blamed Dems as they were instructed to and ignored all the warnings. One relief check went out during his time and two from orange, if you want to try that nonsense. They won’t really care though or understand this, and mindlessly swing back and forth, other than the tribal ones that stick with maga regardless of the damage, and they’re proud to pay more and all the suffering too!

      One of my teachers in a humanities related field said she had a dream where people were running through the street and making tons of noise at like 2 am that woke her up, and they were just screaming “HE’S DEAD! HE’S DEAD!!”

      So that’s how people in the humanities are doing, if anyone was curious.

          I might actually relapse that day- not fully, just with a glass or two of champagne. I think that’s a celebration worthy of a drink despite the eight years of sobriety.

            Maybe another cheap(ish) thrill of a lottery ticket? Or get your adrenalin going another way, such as with a bike ride, or a bush walk 🤷‍♂️ just thinking out loud, hopefully that’s okay.

              Cheers mate, thank you. I definitely enjoy those options from time to time and will likely stick with them. I don’t think I could sacrifice the best thing I’ve ever done for myself, even in celebration of the planet being a bit lighter.

            Nah, man, ain’t nothing worth relapsing. My brother is a drunk, and has never tried to seriously get sober to my knowledge. If he ever did, I wouldn’t encourage him to drink under any circumstances. It’s a slippery slope for people who have a problem with alcohol.

          I think every option other than Trump is better than him simply because the popular mandate can’t be had by a freak like Miller, it can’t be had by a rizzless baffoon like Vance, a stuffy devil in a suit like Vought, a sniveling gremlin pedophile like Lutnick, or a out and about Jewish Supremacist like Kushner. The only person I worry about being in charge is Tucker Carlson. Given how the world only ever seems to get worse, I think this would be the end result. Most of my predictions are true by imaging the worst possible scenario. The only upsides to him is that he’s made a lot of enemies, but I think he’s demonstrated his ability to lie his way into power and I don’t think that would be a saving grace for us at all, we’d probably be fucked, and he’s definitely smart enough and charismatic enough to achieve most of his white supremacist goals. The best case scenario is Trump having a stroke while complaining about Tucker being a traitor.

            I understand the argument, but I’m not sure if this circus of wacky sock puppets isn’t primarily meant to distract us from the things that really matter right now, because we get so worked up every day over the nonsense coming out of the current administration.

      I suggest a horrible debilitating stroke that makes it impossible for him to move or talk while in unbelievable pain for every moment. He gets every treatment recommended by RFK which hopefully includes bleach. Ideally it will be nearly impossible to sleep, but enough so he is able to fully experience it. Hopefully the medical professionals will be able to keep him alive like this for years, ideally a decade and then finally someone will have the compassion to pull the plug so he finally starves to death.

          It’s entirely possible he could flee given the investigations he’s about to face. He knows what happens to pedophile in prison. And while his legal team, even though inept, will keep him from ever seeing the inside of a prison. That fear would be enough to make him flee.

        the odds of democrats sweeping the upcoming senate elections, including every single one of the twenty-two republican-held seats, is as close to zero as you can get without actually being zero.

        then on top of that, you have ‘unreliable’ ““democrats”” holding office which you can’t count on to vote with their party of record.

        so the net chance of the upcoming senate session being able to override a veto is zero. not gonna happen. hell, the democrats would be extremely lucky to hit 60 seats.

        over on the house side, democrats might get a 5-10 seat advantage, they’ll never get the veto-proof majority there either. way too much rigging of the vote and maps by republicants for that.

        Nope, not this cycle. They’d have to win every single Senate race, which would put them at 67. Or as my math works, 66 + Fetterman.

        Are enough Republican seats (that are likely to flip) even up for election to do that this midterm? I seem to remember that being a problem in 2018, that there was backlash but not enough Republicans up for election to make much headway.

          Technically yes, but highly unlikely. Every single seat has to go D, no exceptions, and the resulting 67 seats would still include the bald imbecile from Pennsylvania.

      I think it’s because he’s going to try and burn everything down then he and his “donors” will buy everything up. Then Democrats will be blamed and 2028 comes around and the GOP gains power again. Rinse repeat.

I can picture the headlines now… " Republicans promised you $5000 checks, once the dumocrates took over they took it away. If we had a Republican Congress, everything would have been different, pinky promise. This 2028 election year correct the midterm mistake and elect true Republicans."
