DG: "Well, and... please expect that the minute Democrats get any kind of leverage, it'll... it's going to make the opposition and obstruction and sabotage that they threw at Barack Obama look like child's play."
BG: "Oh yeah."
DG: "There will be... the courts will just cross their legs and refuse to hear any cases that involve anything to do with Trmp. And the Republican minority, whichever house or both houses they may exist in, will do everything they can do to shut it down and break everything and burn it to the ground and blame Democrats. So..."
BG: "There'll be a lot of thrashing going on."
DG: "Expect that. That is what is... the best case scenario is, they don't burn every single thing down as they are driven from power - but they will try."
^^^ All of this, and the major US media outlets will uncritically stenograph almost everything Republicans say while questioning and undercutting almost everything Democrats say, proclaiming their horseshit fake-ass impartiality the whole while.
It may just be my like and scroll-past preferences on Threads, but I do see a fair amount of independent media any more - and most (Democracy Docket being a good example) don't hesitate to call out major media's mealy-mouthed equivocation as the distortive crap it is. I have hope on that basis. I share those outlets, most definitely including y'all's cast, every chance I get.
Also, Fran's laugh is so wholesome and smile-inducing.
No matter expectations of gaining the senate or the House (or both Dems should be working on the game plan of what to accomplish, how to overturn damage, how to extreme partisan inflict on the right. Imposing extreme partisan congressional rules. Carrying out the most biggest beautiful liberal legislative actions on the Prez and his band of Frankenstein Ogres.
For instance, Texas has already gerrymandered the shit out of the state and plans to redo more gerrymandering. It will do it. While we hear in the news that Dems are thinking about gerrymandering "if" the GOP does. They already have and are hell bent to do it more. I mean the next step for the right in GOP controlled states is to legislate Democrats are not legally allowed to vote. Perhaps they will ban Dems from registering to vote or not allowing Dems to be on the ballot as candidates. This is what is next and they are close to it. GOP refused to perform their job in confirmation of Obama SCOTUS nominee. They did not even interview to make a decision. So it is not beyond my game rules to stuff SCOTUS next chance. Make law for congress to receive tax payer funded health care, they are required to have worked minimum of 280 days in each given year. Yes, picking lettuce replacing deported pickers is acceptable. This as a plan should be in the hopper. having the copy of the 2025 white supremacist plan ready to go as the guidelines to rescind all. A list of the Prez's Exec. Orders kept and updated to overturn in one short full order. Reassertion's of law/ the constitution to be re educated to all GOP confirmed judges. Make them all take tests to keep their positions. Legislate cuts to big GOP donor companies like, Elion's Space X which its operating budget is about 40% tax dollars. Ed this conservative socialism. NASA can handle Elon's wet dream of going to Mars.
Pass legislation that the SCOTUIS and their clerks must daily write reports on what they did/ performed each day on the job. Put solar panels on top of the Senate and House for power or at least contract with renewable energy companies to provide it for them. replace chairs with stools and remove tables from hearing rooms when the Prez's Cabinet FOX reality show hosts come to testify. Let them bring their own bottle of water if they wish but do not provide. I think things of this nature must begin being planned out and ready to employ. Hell they can campaign on it if they wish. prepare some of the most extreme investigations, hearings and testimony on the wildest subject. They can always use the oversight committee to investigate each and every right wing conspiracy and who is funding those people to infect others with it. Use retax code XOMPILE Raising tax revenues on those donors of vile content. A tax on vile content for these creeps. There is no line that we cannot cross. Swing that pendulum to the other direction. Use reconciliation to overturn the money is speech bullshit. Money is currency. Maybe put a tariff on crazy conspiracy vile do not money to donate and fund such crap. Pass a law to make knowingly lying by a elected official while performing official duty a crime. Make it a crime to operate a media network and call it news when it does not meet the standard of what news is and write that standard into law.
Scientists do not know how people become a MAGA Shaman or a Jim Jones obedient servant of the cult. They can speculate that when animals do not evolve for the most, they become extinct. Git their is a semblance of evolving here, John Birch society into TEA Party and TEA Party into MAFA. Yet scientists agree that rebranding is not evolving.
