    Ebenezer scrooge at least was an extremely private individual who had no relationships outside of the few stuff he needed for his business(es) which were very local in scale. All we know is he was a moneylender of some sorts and had a warehouse full of grain that he was profiteering from, but that’s it.

    Trump makes him look like a boring chump.

      They just just impeach. The 25th is a higher bar, and he’s arguably not incapable in the sense that the 25th was intended to handle. But there is no doubt about the high crimes and misdemeanors.

    Fascists are the weakest and most brittle snowflakes.

    Every attack a revelation of insecurity.
    Every praise an area of weakness.
    Every accusation an admission.

    I hope Shitgibbon has a miserable holiday. Stumbling the halls at Mar-a-Lardo, watching Hannity reruns and shouting at the screen.

    His family hates him.

    No real friends.

    No music.

    No enjoyment of food.

    Not even a dog.

    Crappy Holidays, you child murdering piece of shit.

              Thank you. Every time I say that, there are plenty of cowardly Democrats who actually defend MAGA’s “victory” as “fair & square,” as if after a lifetime of cheating at EVERYTHING, just for fun, the one election he wouldn’t cheat in, is the one election that he absolutely had to win in order to avoid a lifetime prison sentence. MAGAs would love to brag about it, but they have to keep their mouths shut.

              The first thing Dems need to do, if they are ever going to win again, is to resist literally EVERYTHING they say or do. Every statement gets denied, every action gets protested, every piece of legislation gets voted against - by every single elected Democrat, without exception. If a Dem gives MAGA legislation a single vote, then they should be rejected from the party, given NO campaign money, and be officially primaried by the party. They are FIRED!

              That includes my worthless DINO rep.

          You see when other countries “elect” a dictator (usually by stealing), the whole country is evil and they need “democracy”. All their allies with be on board with invading them because well, they’re always the good guys.

          When it’s US and its allies, it’s never their fault and they aren’t responsible for the crimes their government commits.

          They’re just helpless individuals who have no say in how government operates and you’re supposed to have sympathy for them no matter what.

      Should go ahead and build him a Whiter House, or Whitest House, one where he also doesn’t have to live with any prior residents having been black. Set it up in some sort of non-state U.S. territory, maybe give it a legal arrangement like a Native American reservation, but call it something he’ll be happy about. Exclusive Territory, or VIP Room. Still subject to major crime laws of the federal government.

    I kinda just wish he’d won 2020 at this point. He wouldn’t have had 4 years to regroup with the project 2025 fascists, and we’d be done with him now.

      We’d also be done with him if he’d been prosecuted for the crimes. Even though they were fairly minor, like trying to usurp the will of the people and overthrow democracy, it would have done the trick.

          If you mean the 34 felonies, that judge effectively said his punishment would be nothing. Which is very fun by the way - when has a non rich person gotten to shrug off dozens of felony convictions? He was never charged, as far as I’m aware, in connection to the coup attempt.

            Impeachments without a result are also convictions without consequences. If anything they showed him he could do whatever he wanted, so he has.

              Gonna get real pedantic here. It’s passé that “impeachment” is the part the House of Representatives does, then the Senate gets their vote. If 2/3 of the Senage agree the person did the bad, this means they are “convicted” by the Senate which automatically leads to removal from office. So, a conviction in reference to the broader “impeachment” process comes with very real consequences, by definition.

                Yes, you’re right, an acquittal does mean not convicted. Even when the general attitude among the Republicans wasn’t that the impeachment findings were wrong, just that it wasn’t a big deal to them (mainly concerning the first time, but I guess also the second since storming the Capitol wasn’t enough to change their mind). So again the message was sent that he had free reign.

    He’s got to pump it out over holidays, because it’s one of the few days right/left still mix.

    The last thing the wealthy want is people sitting down at a table and realizing the shit we fight over isn’t as important as what the wealthy are doing to all of us.

    It’s just a distraction to keep us from uniting against them.

    So trump wants his voters riled up and angry so no discussions can happen.

      It works to well and has been for years. Look at slavery in the US when the white and black slaves united against the rich. They got scared and divided them with the oh you are not as bad as the black slaves. I mean we are talking hundreds of years of this divide. They do it cause it works.

        Look at slavery in the US when the white and black slaves united against the rich.

        That never happened. And you’re massively distorting what chattel slavery was if you think that it was just the same as ordinary oppression of the working class.
