leonfarqhuar.bsky.social @leonfarqhuar.bsky.social · 15/07/2026That drip drip drip sound you hear is the Dems slowly pissing away a potential House majority by refusing to appeal to the base of their own party. But that’s what Jeffries and the others have been paid to do, to be a controlled opposition party that doesn’t actually change anything. 000
leonfarqhuar.bsky.social @leonfarqhuar.bsky.social · 11/07/2026I would be sad too if the Times disappeared. A newspaper goes out of business every 3 days in this country. I used to be a newspaper reporter. We need more objective news reporting, not less. But the Times and others replaced “objectivity” with “both sidesing” and it’s killing journalism. 050
leonfarqhuar.bsky.social @leonfarqhuar.bsky.social · 11/07/2026Yeah it’s hard to get too sad for the NY Times when they did so much to put Trump into office in the first place then tried sane wash his increasingly fascist behavior. Sometimes you reap what you sow. 1103
leonfarqhuar.bsky.social @leonfarqhuar.bsky.social · 09/05/2026I wouldn’t bet on the Dems getting aggressive anytime soon. They’re the party of controlled opposition. They’ll fight just hard enough to make it look like they’re doing something, but not hard enough to do anything. Because they serve the same bosses. And those bosses like what Trump is doing… 220

People who complain about censorship the most on the right are actually perfectly fine with censorship as long as it’s censoring the people they don’t like. Free speech means nothing to them. 120
leonfarqhuar.bsky.social @leonfarqhuar.bsky.social · 01/03/2026So almost no one wanted any of those wars. So why did they happen anyway? That’s the million dollar question. And the answer involves millions…to both parties. 110
leonfarqhuar.bsky.social @leonfarqhuar.bsky.social · 01/03/2026Both the Dems and the Reps wanted this war. There’s no anti war party in Congress right now. It has bipartisan support. Of course the Republicans want it because they are crazy. But the Dems are pretending to be upset for their voters but won’t do anything to stop it because their donors want it. 111

leonfarqhuar.bsky.social @leonfarqhuar.bsky.social · 26/02/2026Yeah well, who’s going to stop them? The Supreme Court? They gave Trump and his toadies total immunity for anything including cold blooded murder. Congress? Hiding from their constituents. Democrats? Talking a good game but won’t make fundamental changes even if they win. Answer: nobody… 100
leonfarqhuar.bsky.social @leonfarqhuar.bsky.social · 29/01/2026I think Tulsi is involved because they’re going to try to say that the Chinese were manipulating the the outcome of the election through the Democratic Party. It’s basically part of the next step towards dictatorship: to go after the national Democrats. Hard to campaign from prison. 011
leonfarqhuar.bsky.social @leonfarqhuar.bsky.social · 21/01/2026want to they don’t have to. The only thing left would be for Congress to impeach and convict him, but that won’t happen because of the two thirds vote required in the Senate. I’m surprised he hasn’t tried it but I think he’s concerned about the markets and Republican money people going against him. 021
leonfarqhuar.bsky.social @leonfarqhuar.bsky.social · 21/01/2026Unfortunately Trump pretty much can rule like a dictator. Even if the court did find the temerity to stand up to him (which is highly unlikely) Trump could just ignore them. The court’s rulings are not self enforcing. They depend on the executive branch to follow along voluntarily. If they don’t… 120

leonfarqhuar.bsky.social @leonfarqhuar.bsky.social · 15/01/2026Don’t kid yourself the SCOTUS majority will do whatever Trump tells it to. Even if it tried it rein him in Trump can just ignore it, they have no power to carry out their decisions. Besides who is is going to stand up him? The Congressional Dems are busy hiding in their offices hoping it all stops.. 000
leonfarqhuar.bsky.social @leonfarqhuar.bsky.social · 07/01/2026They weren’t afraid. They never intended to offer it in the first place because their large donors don’t support it. They were campaigning on a bait and switch. So they had to come up with some excuse not to do it at the last minute. That’s why people are so angry at the Dems in a nutshell. 000
leonfarqhuar.bsky.social @leonfarqhuar.bsky.social · 04/01/2026We’re in a dictatorship now in America. It doesn’t matter what the law says, Trump can do whatever he wants and no one is going to stop him, not the Republicans and certainly not the feckless Democrats. Trump is our Putin. God help us if he decides to battle a country with a competent military. 082
leonfarqhuar.bsky.social @leonfarqhuar.bsky.social · 11/11/2025Schumer was totally in on this, and so were some other Dems who voted no, but actually supported it. That’s why just enough senators to pass it are voting. And those who are voting for it are either retiring or newly elected ones who won’t have to face voters soon. That’s the telltale sign. 010
leonfarqhuar.bsky.social @leonfarqhuar.bsky.social · 10/11/2025If the Dems won’t fight for the working people in this country then we on the left should stop voting for them and form a 3rd party that will. If they are dedicated to protecting the rich at all costs then they deserve to be crushed. It’s that simple. 320
leonfarqhuar.bsky.social @leonfarqhuar.bsky.social · 09/11/2025The problem with Senate Dems is that Schumer has them by the balls because he distributes all the $ raised by Wall Street, and it’s a pretty penny. And Wall Street wants the government open ASAP, ACA benefits be damned. They need their corporate welfare to survive, so they’ve given Schumer orders. 040
leonfarqhuar.bsky.social @leonfarqhuar.bsky.social · 31/10/2025It’s disgusting that so many people in this country worship the rich while they disdain the poor. Even worse when you consider the number of so-called “Christians.” And things are going to get worse until we get rid of Trump and shake off the grifters that are taking our $ with nothing in return. 020
leonfarqhuar.bsky.social @leonfarqhuar.bsky.social · 19/10/2025Unfortunately he’s correct as far as the current Supreme Court jurisprudence on this. They would have no problem ruling for him in this if it ever came before them. And ultimately that’s the problem. Because authoritarians turn awful things that were illegal into something legal and acceptable. 010
leonfarqhuar.bsky.social @leonfarqhuar.bsky.social · 16/10/2025Dems lost this fight when they refused to pack the court during Biden’s admin and when Obama backed down on Merrick Garland (although after his tenure as attorney general maybe that wasn’t such a bad thing). The big problem is feckless rules following that always comes back to bite us in the butt. 0101
leonfarqhuar.bsky.social @leonfarqhuar.bsky.social · 15/10/2025Ok but what can we realistically do to fight any of this, other than taking up arms? Thats what I want to know. Everyone keeps saying don’t be a doomer. But the doomers keep being proved right while the optimistic types seem to have their headed in the clouds…. 010
leonfarqhuar.bsky.social @leonfarqhuar.bsky.social · 15/10/2025It will basically be impossible for Dems to take back any power because of gerrymandering and because Congress controls the acceptance of the results of presidential elections and there’s no way the Republicans will ever accept election results that elect a Dem president of the United States. 000
leonfarqhuar.bsky.social @leonfarqhuar.bsky.social · 11/10/2025People always complain the media has a leftist bias in this country. You’re not going to be able to say that anymore once these guys get done… 031
leonfarqhuar.bsky.social @leonfarqhuar.bsky.social · 11/10/2025Now that Trump has “saved” Tik Tok from the evil commies in China, he’s going to turn it into the video arm of Truth Social. Irony of ironies that goes from being a tool of the communists to being a tool of the facists. It’s also an ominous sign of the right’s consolidation of power over the media. 131

leonfarqhuar.bsky.social @leonfarqhuar.bsky.social · 07/10/2025If they win it will be because the Supreme Court rolled over and let Trump do whatever he wants. If the executive can do whatever he wants, there’s no rule of law, only rule by a person, which our Founders wanted to prohibit. They’re letting Trump rewrite our Constitution with every provocation. 000
leonfarqhuar.bsky.social @leonfarqhuar.bsky.social · 29/09/2025What’s really sad is the Dems found an away to lose to said fuckwits. And they’re not even fighting back much now that Trump’s in office because party leaders seem to think the way back to power is sucking up to the rich and powerful as much as the Republicans do. Basically, we’re all on own… 010
leonfarqhuar.bsky.social @leonfarqhuar.bsky.social · 28/09/2025The lack of political vision on the left happened because any vestige of socialism was beaten out of the Dems by Nixon and the FBI’s COINTELPRO program in the 70s through things like the murder of Fred Hampton and the rise of the neoliberals who wanted to get rich but still be libs on social stuff. 110
leonfarqhuar.bsky.social @leonfarqhuar.bsky.social · 22/09/2025Unfortunately our Supreme Court basically said they are the president’s personal police in its immunity ruling from 2024 concerning Trumps actions while in office the first time around.

leonfarqhuar.bsky.social @leonfarqhuar.bsky.social · 30/08/2025It’s a stupid argument, but it doesn’t matter. So far, the Court has twisted the law into a pretzel to let Trump get what he wants. I doubt they’ll stop now. They’re not a court so much as an unelected legislature that makes decisions on policy, then rationalizes the law to fit Trump’s needs. 010
leonfarqhuar.bsky.social @leonfarqhuar.bsky.social · 26/08/2025Yes their rulings are their personal politics, because there’s no way the court can rule with a straight face that the NRLB and similar bodies are differently situated than the Fed Reserve board. The court is no longer a judicial body. It’s an unelected legislature that only serves the Republicans. 080
leonfarqhuar.bsky.social @leonfarqhuar.bsky.social · 26/08/2025I’m afraid it’s too late. If you’re counting on the Democrats to come save us then I’ve got a bridge in Brooklyn I’d love to sell you. The neoliberals would rather Trump rule as tyrant than anyone not bought off by Wall Street win a Dem primary. That’s why they’re all largely sitting on their hands. 120
leonfarqhuar.bsky.social @leonfarqhuar.bsky.social · 25/08/2025Unfortunately the courts won’t be of much help. Their overriding outlook seems to be that Trump can do whatever he wants. But the Dems cannot be allowed to do anything. So I expect the anti commandeering doctrine will soon be overruled at least as to what happens in blue states. 030
leonfarqhuar.bsky.social @leonfarqhuar.bsky.social · 18/08/2025It’s not like the other so called mainstream media reps like Haberman or anyone from the NYT and WaPo are doing anything to challenge him either. If they had integrity they would have walked out long ago. But their corporate masters like what Trump is doing and want them to continue sanewashing him. 0141
