  • I’m not so sure…

    I went into this trial knowing that it was the least of Trump’s crimes and thinking that some brainwashed cultist would turn it into a hung jury. I was wrong, and instead we ended up with 34 consecutive guilty verdicts in less than 12 hours.

    Now Trump is going to be sentenced by a judge who he has repeatedly called disgraceful and corrupt after weeks of sleep shitting through the trial. He has shown zero remorse and zero respect for the law. So other than the mythology of Teflon Don, why should the judge sentence him with anything less than he deserves?






  • a president elected on hope and change

    Here’s a little middle school social studies lesson for you: there is a lot more to the government than the President.

    Bernie Sanders could be sitting in the Oval Office right now and he’d still be struggling with the political realities that Biden is dealing with today. There would still be multiple wars raging, there would still be Republican obstructionism, there would still be a Republican controlled House and a tied Senate, etc. And I’m willing to bet you would be sitting here commenting on how “disappointing” he ended up being as a progressive…

    If you want big, sweeping FDR-style changes, then elect a big sweeping congressional supermajority like FDR had. It’s not rocket science, people like you would rather just shy away from the political reality of getting bills passed in favor of complaining online, and it’s getting boring.
