Wow…

:lol:

Watching stuff like this and all that happens in the US Politics, Trumps impeachment and low IQ Republicans threads, I can't help but wonder if there's any way back to some sort of decency for American politics. Perhaps there never was any in the first place and the internet and social media just highligt it now, but it does seems like the Trump presidency has had a a profound impact on the people elected to govern and the way they behave.

And I'm all out of bubblegum.
This trend is honestly a lot more scary than the prospect of another Trump presidency. People were shocked at January 6th, but many have gotten over their shock and mistakenly believed that it proved that the system is working. To have any sort of successful political career now as a Republican, you basically have to claim that the election was stolen. It would be bad enough if that meant only members of Congress, but it means people who directly affect elections at a state level. It means the exact people who last time wouldn't allow the coup, but next time will. The next time another Jan 6 happens, it's probably going to succeed.

Say it with me: America is fecked.

As I mentioned in the civil war thread, you guys won't get another chance in 2024. When Trump realises that he can't beat biden, he will set in motion anything and everything to bring down the electoral process. He had to be held to account for 2020, now he's got a free pass and these guys know they have a chance to essentially dismiss all valid election results that they don't win.

but don't worry, Nancy is on the case!!!!

It is amazing that they don't get it by now. Trump is about Trump.

Seems ok in this clip, and he said in the press release Dr.’s found zero cognitive damage.

As a side note, that dude is huge.

Not to give Kathy Barnette more attention than she deserves, she is definitely going to get hammered on this wherever she goes.
