I would like to see some public whipping… Maybe couple of hangings…
He’s not wrong. The dems will spend years investigating, refuse to prosecute, and conclude by congratulating themselves and blaming Reagan.
Vance is now on record saying if the Nixon scandal happened today it wouldn’t even make it on the news. That is how brazenly corrupt these asshats are.
No apologies, just the smug “we can grift all we want”.
I’ll still vote blue begrudgingly, but I have very very VERY little faith in Dem leadership will do anything meaningful like putting the current administration in prison. I’m already expecting to be massively disappointed in the Dems doing fuck all if they gain power back. Love to be proved wrong, but establishment Dems still hold the party and you can’t trust any of those stock trading bastards.
That’s why you need to vote for the farthest left primary hand didn’t matter how “unelectable” or “extreme” you were told they are because electing more centrists is the same as just selecting more Republicans
putting the current administration in prison.
What powers, exactly, do you think they’d have if elected? They can investigate but they do not have the ability to put people in prison. The legislature and judiciary are separate branches.
If we’re not stupid enough to refuse to vote again, we’re just going to go back to spouting these impossible expectations and then blaming Democrats when they can’t do it.
If they don’t investigate anything then sure, they deserve to be criticized to hell and back.
Except they won’t.
If the Democrats take the House and Senate, it will be soul-crushing if they don’t pursue a strong liberal-restoration agenda and fiercely prosecute the Republicans for engaging in blatant self dealing.
Thanks to the history I’ve lived, I don’t expect them to, especially as the DNC shows signs of capture, but it will be very sad.
Then the Republicans will get back into office, and the US will fall in earnest, possibly attacking Canada and Greenland when the government bankrupts the state, and eventually ending with China and Europe bombing the snot out of DC.
If we’re lucky, by then, chunks of the US will have seceded from the union to form smaller clusters of states, so that the entire nation doesn’t have to be conquered by the Allies.
I wish the Democrats were even 10% as aggressive as Republicans claim they are.
We wish.
The Democrats are going to investigate your crimes? Are we talking about the same Democrats?
Investigations are great for them politically, why wouldn’t they?
They sweep the house and set up special commissions investigating all of the wrongdoings very publicly and with much ceremony and somber pomp.
Then either they’ll defer the discovered crimes to the justice department to make arrests (these will be ignored) or send impeachment proceedings to the senate (these will be swatted down).
This lets them “do something” without actually making any changes. It will also be coordinated with the media to be the focus of politics for a while and not something dangerous like young anti-capitalist upstarts trying to steal the party they rightfully rigged so long ago.
By making it seem like they’re doing something the can also tamper down some of that anti establishment energy that’s been boiling over recently.
I hope they fucking fail.
Yeah, that does seem to be the safest bet for the current democratic party
I wanna see a source for that quote. If it’s real, I’ll laugh my pants off
Seems to be paraphrasing:
“If we lose the midterms, heaven forbid, these Democrats — y’all, impeachment isn’t even the real concern,” the Louisiana Republican told a conservative audience on Friday. “They will turn every committee of Congress into an investigative body, and they’ll go after the president’s family, the Cabinet, his donors, friends, half of you in this room will be targeted.”
The House speaker added, “I run the protection program. I’ll take care of you.”
I’ve heard if you deport them fast enough and send them to a nonextradition country with a supermax prison then you don’t even need to make a case against them. Seems a lot cheaper for the tax payers.
If only the Democrats had that much spine.
Hey, there’s like an infinite number of parallel universes where they do have the spine for it. Sucks we got stuck in the only one where they’re utterly useless.
He’s just mad the Dems might steal their tactics
I just want to know how Dem oppo research hasnt been able to get a copy of Mike Johnson’s hidden cpu partitions.
i remember him saying something similar a few months ago. don’t remember the quote though
I mean Democrats won’t but their voters don’t realize that because they’re morons.
I swear to God, I can’t tell what’s real and what’s a meme anymore.
Yes, that’s…how it works.
No it doesn’t. Democrats don’t do that. At least not well
This is what midterms are for. Go out and vote for Democrats who will do that.
In the last 30 years, Democrats have held a majority in both the House of Representatives and the Senate during two periods: from 1993 to 1994 and from 2007 to 2010.
Scrolling past I thought that was a new Tim Heidecker character
