I mean, all hyperbole aside, Trump himself could literally be arrested on a number of those points that they will be targeting. And that's a fact.

Have the Epstein file been released? No? Then more distraction will soon be needed. That mostly answers the question.

Okay fine, it's a series of unprovoked terrorist attacks.

Even Rob Reich can't help himself saying that the mass murder of hundreds of school children are really just distractions from the real problems. Can white Americans just shutup for a second and let the oppressed speak for a goddamn minute

yes.

Thank you for your persistence, Mr. Reich. Ms. Noem, please consider resigning, and turning yourself in, to be charged and prosecuted for your crimes. It would be so much less embarrassing than any other option, really.

Highly unkind to pigs.

jfc, the US has just kidnapped a foreign leader. Read the room, Robert.

Nobel. What a dick!

I'm planning on directly asking "Why is the President of the United States openly calling for members of the legislative branch to be executed?" and just kick off the fight with my (now-retired) Lieutenant Colonel father with a bang.

His answer will govern next steps (maybe even up to not having to see him next year which will be nice).

No they don’t believe that. They just want others to believe it so they can play the victim while they pillage the country.

Saying "I donno" and then "pay to read more" isn't the winning strategy you think it is.

There is no practical reason to do this: he has easier and more secure ways to communicate with the commanders.

Nope: some of them aren't on Signal.

The one insurmountable problem with this line of thinking is that it's predicated on the assumption that the Democrat establishment and the DNC want to win elections.

They don't particularly.

Sure - they wouldn't mind winning at least a few here and there, but for the most part, they really don't care that much about winning - all they really want to do is to fundraise, then pay themselves to consult and focus group and fundraise some more. And to do that, they have to suck up to the donor class, and to do that, they have to make sure that no hint of leftism (other than culture war posturing) makes it through their system. And if that means losing elections, then they'll lose elections. Then fundraise some more.

I'm so tired of this self-congratulatory make-believe criticism, as if the problem is that the establishment Democrats just aren't fighting hard enough or mean enough.

The establishment Democrats aren't even showing up to the knife fight. They're sitting around mansions in gated communities, sipping Mimosas and counting big stacks of PAC money. The closest they get to the knife fight is occasionally wondering what all that noise is outside, and lamenting the fact that they have to find a new nanny because their last one got deported.

The beatings will continue until morale improves.

Pretty much literally.

And that’s what she was actually put there to do. Her real job is to say “thus far and no further” to the leftmost end of the political spectrum of the world’s most powerful and destructive government.

That’s why people who seek leftward movement in the US political machine see AOC as one of their main enemies
