This. It has always been this. A sitting American president did this. And because he did this, he should have been convicted and put behind bars. And the fact that we never held him accountable for these crimes will forever stain this country. And we may never recover from it.👇

Even if a federal prosecutor was watching the Atlanta Hawks and not the Iowa Hawkeyes, I still think crime should be treated as illegal, and coup attempts should be treated as bad.

Before calling someone a “dirtbag,” the Senator should have had his facts straight. An apology is in order. Glad one of us knew the difference between the Atlanta Hawks and the Iowa Hawkeyes!

They are so desperate to keep DC comfortable and clubby for their social and professional circle, both of which include Republicans, that they can't do the jobs that they claim* they're the best at. * This claim is, let us say, rendered controversial by the stubbornness of facts.

The media, too. I don't know how common that actual phrase is, but they certainly want us all to think the country is crawling with "reasonable Republicans." Both politicians and, especially, the public.

Stephen Robinson @playtyperguy.com · 24/09/2026

Democrats still refer to “MAGA Republicans” when discussing policies all Republicans support or actively enable. All this does is suggest that there are “normal” Republicans (like Lawler or Collins). It’s bad messaging but the Dem consultants won’t give it up.

Dear @duckworth.senate.gov when you became a senator you swore an oath to the constitution. Well impeachment is literally in the constitution. Impeachment is your job. So yes, “get back to work.”

Article II, Section 4:

The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.

Trump stole taxpayer $$ to destroy the White House and replace it with a firetrap and too few ladies stalls. www.washingtonpost.com/investigatio...

McCrery informed the White House that Trump’s ballroom design did not meet fire safety codes, which require the majority of guests to be able to quickly exit through the main entrance during an emergency, according to the people and documents. The architect also pointed out that alternative emergency exit routes out of the building were insufficient, and that there was little in the design to prevent a kitchen fire from rapidly spreading into the event space on the floor above.

In addition to fire safety concerns, Trump’s desired ballroom design did not include enough toilets to accommodate the structure’s maximum occupancy, according to documents, and there were few options for adding more, as the event space occupied most of the building’s footprint. One early ballroom design featured just seven stalls in the women’s bathroom.

youre electable when the voters elect you. so lets have a debate. lets have a knock out drag-down fight and lets find out who is most electable instead of arbitrarily taking options off the table because of maybe possibly how some midwestern swing voter is gonna react.

i dont see how either of those two questions would somehow disqualify AOC. in 2007-8 we heard from so many about how obama was not electable. too black, too young, too much having a middle eastern name. and then he literally became the most electable democrat in a century

i think the best "electability" argument isnt race, gender or resume. its the person who attracts the most dedicated, genuine, organic support. sometimes that has been barack obama. sometimes it was donald trump. but thats the real electability.

I wonder if @owillis.bsky.social shares my cynicism here, but I do think that Trump is almost intentionally pushing Democrats past a point where they could get away with gaining power for its own sake and simply "containing" his worst actions. This isn't the border wall.
