    I’ve seen like three or four posts now where the Dems are being all “Nooo you guys. The voters don’t want us to endlessly investigate Republican crimes and throw people in jail! We were voted in to fix the economy! Clearly we can’t do both, so we’re going to have to just let the rampant corruption slide this time. Too bad.”

      Comtact your newly minted dem senator and tell them you dont want chuck schumer for senate majority leader. Tell your newly minted rep that you dont want jeffries for speaker. Those two are bought and paid for by corporate interests and aipac. Every voice that speaks it is another reed to break their backs.

      This would be 2006 not 08 or 10, the next presidential election will dictate who gets to pass substantive new major legislation. There won’t be anyone as good as Obama but it can be a huge change.

        Shiny blue tsunami 2026 midterm (idol in Indy’s arm). Followed by election in 2028 (boulder, much bigger than the idol) of a Democratic Party president = memories of 2008 Obama election.

        What I meant to point out was that the first midterm after Obama’s election, was 2010 where Republicans gained 63 seats in the house, pointing out that the majority of Americans will probably vote for the party opposite of the president, and eventually again vote for someone like Trump as president, and then re-elect him. The States is like a union of Saudi Arabia (racists whites) and Sweden (educated non-psychopaths). The fact that the majority re-elected Bush and Trump, may indicate that a two-state solution may be best.
