  • I never said not to impeach Kegsbreath. I said to wait until January and the next. We have a much better chance of succeeding then. Is it likely to end in a conviction? No, but the chances will be better than the near-zero chance now. Plus, it forces the remaining Repugnicans to defend his actions to the people, something they might have to pay for in following elections. It’s solid strategy to wait. Why waste the vote and the political capital on a definite lose-lose situation that’s almost guaranteed to fail? It’s not the same as election, either, because the people decide the elections, not congressional Repugnicans. By the standard you’re using, why not put forward a medicare for all bill right now? Simple, because it’s an almost guaranteed loss and waiting gives it a better chance to at least be considered seriously. We have to pick our battles carefully. I want Kegsbreath in prison just as much as you do, but I’m willing to wait for the best opportunity, also letting him fuck up even more and giving the remaining Repugnicans more reasons to turn on him, especially if we pin the Blue Tsunami on election day partially on his actions in the meantime. Start calling Repug senators now and loudly blame him for Repug losses this year.



  • While I agree that some current Dems are weak-ass bitches, Repugnicans still control Every-fucking-thing until January. This also smacks of technology-based incompetence…which points to a failure due to low IQ Repugnican policies. While some current Dems are also incompetent, let’s blame the party currently controlling the entire government, since Dems are basically held down to writing “strongly” worded letters. Painting this on Repugnicans also has the side effect of warning the Dems that they will be under the same public oversight come January 3rd, 2027. After that, we can totally point out their failures, since they will have almost zero excuses, other than “the President vectors everything we pass.”







  • While I agree abpit Jeffries, Hegseth not being impeached now is preferable. An impeachment now would have meant a definite exoneration when he was tried by the Senate. They would have declared him innocent and put him back to work at performing war crimes. They’re much more likely to successfully prosecute him when the next Congress is sworn in. The Republicans still control both houses of Congress until January. People need to be patient. The election was a clear sign of the people’s will, but we’ve still got over 6 weeks before the newly elected Dems take office. I much prefer Kegsbreath facing Senators like El Sayed in January rather than a gushing Repugnican Senate telling him what a great hero he is now.






  • Yeah, but Massey is just trying to wash the Trump stank off before his term ends in January. You also have to realize that Hegseth would have been deemed innocent when the Senate tried him. This outcome is actually better, because Keghead can now be impeached and tried in January when the Dems have the majority in both houses of Congress and will need fewer Repugnican defectors to actually get a guilty verdict in the Senate. Politics is a nasty game, but missing this vote saves the current Dems a little bit of political capital to spend once the new Congress is sworn in in January…if Stephen Miller doesn’t violate the Constitution and stop them from being seated. That’s very possibly the administration’s plan right now. Don’t get me wrong, Jeffries and Schumer need to go, if enough Dems have the balls to stand up to the party leadership.







  • Let’s be honest, most Americans are tragically uneducated about politics in general. I’ve seen people already blam8ng newly elected democrats for things happening right now in congress…thus blaming people who haven’t even been sworn yet. Things didn’t magically change overnight, so they’re saying the Dems failed to acknowledge the electorate’s mandates. Social media is awash in people’s political ignorance.
