I hate to be the bearer of bad news but Kash Patel can serve as "acting" director of the FBI for *at least* 210 days. So if you think Collins or Murkowski or Tillis or McConnell can stop him -- they won't. And by the time 210 days are up, this shit will be normalized and the FBI will be decimated.

Ha!

Nytpitchbot, I could not love you more

South Asian Americans are often stereotyped as brainy academic high achievers.  But Trump's new pick for Director of the FBI has worked to change that image.

Dude you have a bad case of TDS.

You need to stop worrying and learn how to love the Trump. Ok maybe I wouldn’t go that far but just ignore the noise. You can’t do anything about it so why worry? The country will go on. He isn’t going to “destroy America.”


I found the appointment of Charles Kushner amusing. We are sending our worst to France!

In not as bad as it seems news

U.S. House breakdown, July 2024

🟥 221 R
🟦 214 D

U.S. House breakdown, January 2025*

🟥 220 R
🟦 215 D


Welp at least an ineffective congress is better than an overthrow of the government

Actually due to resignations the number will be 217 to 215 so provided every member is present the Rs can only lose two votes...

[hutch]

My son says you need 218 votes to be elected speaker…

exactly what trump wants: the House is now his hostage.  johnson has zero room to maneuver.

This is depressing, this really would have changed everything


Republicans only won the House by 7,500 total votes in three congressional districts—an average of 2,500 votes in each.

That’s how close Democrats came to taking the House, in a country of over 340 million people. 7,500 votes.

You can look at it that way….

I mean that ship has sailed

but the democratic party lost WAAAAY more than the GOP/Trump won
I just don't know how they will learn the lessons of their loss and how their messaging is so unappealing to so many

[sweetcell]

their messaging is so unappealing to so many

IMO it's less about "unappealing" and more about "missing the mark".  it was the economy stupid, and the Dems struck out on that one.  i just read a twat to the effect of "trump was elected to fix an economy that doesn't need fixing" - how did the Dems miss that so completely?  people traveled more this thanksgiving than ever before, and black friday & cyber monday smashed all records - doesn't sound like an economy in recession, now does it?  inflation is back down*, and inflation has been lower in the US than other industrialized countries since the pandemic - but you wouldn't know it, given how the GOP owned the "we need to turn around the disastrous biden economy ASAP" narrative...

Your response is why we lost

Yes the wealthy are still wealthy

But the voters that used to be Dems… were hurting and regardless of inflation slowing down the grove prices are stilll 20-40% higher then they were a few years ago


We lost those people… and Trump welcomed them with open arms… even if it was on false promises

[hutch]

This argument that people spending for Christmas or traveling means a lot of people aren’t hurting is so moronic yet I keep seeing it….

Just cause you spend more doesn’t mean it doesn’t suck to see a small bag of chips at $6.99 or ground beef at TJs going from $3.49 to 4.99 etc etc.  There is no way in hell people’s salaries kept up with rising food prices. And inflation affects the less well off disproportionately. Of course it doesn’t affect Sweetcell though..

But keep spouting this none sense liberals.. keep missing the message…

Once in a while I will make veggie sloppy Joes and my daughter will get a small bag of Doritos to scoop up the Joe but will skip the bun. And the Doritos cost $2.69, not $6.99.
