Just your daily reminder from Democrats that they suck.

    Funny he thinks it’s going to be up to him. He’s just going to be another Congressional Rep, and someone else will be making the decisions. He’s already had his shot, and he allowed MAGA to rise again and take back over. He’s already proved he’s too weak and cowardly to get the job done, it’s time for someone else.

    In fact, both Jeffries and Schmuck need to be investigated just like every MAGA. I’m not convinced that they aren’t Manchurian MAGAs. They got a lotta splainin to do.

    FYI for anyone in his district: Jeffries has a Democratic primary challenger this June — Vance Bostic, a working-class guy who as far as I can tell hasn’t had a lot of press, but if you live in Brooklyn and are a registered Democrat it’s probably worth checking him out.

    You have got to be fucking kidding me. That is quite literally the easiest and most free political slam dunk possible. These people have brain damage.

    Just count Jeffries and congressional Democrats out of everything. They’re determined to do nothing substantive with whatever power we give them, again. They’re a corporate donor maintenance organization, not a political party, not leaders, and certainly not advocates for any civic ideology other than whatever positions reinforce their ability to perform the above maintenance project.

      Yeah. It shows that the current opposition party will always be against a national threat to democracy and pedophilic rapist.

      It puts all of the blame solely on the party destroying everything and shows the democratic constituency that their votes matter.

      I think I am growing to hate the worthless, centrists in this country even more everyday. How does one compromise with a rapist? With a pedophile? How do you compromise with a seditious traitor who sells our secrets to the highest bidder openly?

      The fact we aren’t in a war already shows that the country has already fallen and the Democrats aren’t any way back to normalcy. They COMPROMISE with domestic terrorists that have killed science and education, farmers, cancer patients, children, etc.

      WORTHLESS

        I was leaning toward, ‘without winning the Senate its a waste of time when there are so many other pressing concerns.’

        But no, you’re right, they have to walk and chew pedo-gum at the same time. They have to take action against the ongoing national threat, and they have to move the country on from these people’s dystopic vision of the US. Its a necessary part of the program.


        It’d also have the tactical benefit of distracting from the WH regime’s program, and allow political space for wavering Republicans to push back against certain excesses lessening the damage the WH is able to carry out from that point.

      Am impeachment is just a trial. Unless the dens can get enough seats in the Senate that are willing to convict and remove trump an impeachment where Trump refuses all congressional subpoenas for him and the rest of the Epstein administration is meaningless.

      I think it’s the right course of action. If they impeach him he’ll refuse to go and it’ll be Jan 6 on steroids. Riots.

      The better way will be to let him screw things up so bad that MAGA voters realise they were wrong. And the drive behind the movement will disappear. Rather than cause escalation.

      He’s already done that in part by raising costs of life with his tariffs and war.

      Ps I’m in no way supporting the neoliberals, I’m very progressive too. But I don’t see how an impeachment will end well.

        He will not leave regardless.

        None of them can leave, they know they’ll get drowned in a lot of problems, from investigations to lawsuits.

        It’s like the situation in Iran, trump thought he’d throw a few bombs and the Iranian regime would just start writing resignation letters.
        But they can’t leave, if they do they’ll be lynched by the oppressed people.

        The same goes for the current US regime, even the identified ICE-soldiers will get in trouble when the regime falls.

        People won’t be reasoned out of a position they didn’t reason themselves into.

        In other words as things go to shit it won’t be the Fanta fascist’s fault, it will be immigrants or black people, or Demoncrats. They’ll never blame the pedo or themselves. Your way won’t work.

    Jeffries has zero say what happens in the next congress. Just like Schumer

    They’ve been lame ducks all but two weeks of this session, and they’re not above saying dumb shit like this to try and get progressives to tune out of the primaries.

    They’re doing triage for the neoliberal faction

    If you don’t like them, vote in your Dem primary for the most progressive options.

    When asked if impeachment was a top priority, Jeffries said “of course not” during an appearance on “Fox News Sunday.”

    He was on fox news when he said this; most likely, given the dems have already tried to impeach trump twice, he was trying to give the fascists a way to rationalize accepting dems winning the house. Besides this is a completely reasonable thing - unless dems win the senate too it shouldn’t be the priority to do something completely pointless.

    The last 2 times just shows it’s a waste of time until they have the votes in the Senate to convict and remove him from office.

      It’s clearly on his mind, he’s been mentioning it out of nowhere lately. He doesn’t want to be impeached for a third time. Now you’re right it won’t actually do anything to the administration, but this is one of those times when the principle matters. It’s worth doing it because he deserves it and it would infuriate him.

    Wow, so much for being the party of “Resistance.” Tell me again how we can depend on the neo-liberals to not only do the right thing but also their jobs?
