Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (Ky.) warned Senate Democrats on Tuesday about issuing subpoenas to two prominent billionaires and a conservative activist because of their friendly ti…
Or what? Is that supposed to be a threat? Seems to me that if a Republican is warning you not to investigate something then it definitely needs investigating.
I think he’s implying that exposing the corruption will bring to light corrupt Democrats as well.
Which is such a fucking typical conservative concept, as though the party should defend the corruption within by ignoring corruption everywhere. Jokes on you, motherfucker, because we want to expose and eliminate corruption among Democrats and Republicans.
“Vote Blue No Matter Who” *is textbook cultish behavior and has lead to some truly awful candidacies.
The post-Obama turn from casual social liberalism to BlueAnon party jingoism has been absolutely miserable for intra-party Democratic politics. The influx of Bill Kristol / Michael Bloomberg / Lincoln Project anti-Trump Republicans is a poison pill that’s going to do the same damage to the Dems that it did to the GOP under Bush.
I’m already seeing all the toxicity and nastiness in local Dem organizing meetings that I remember my parents complaining about as liberal Republicans during the 2000-era turn.

This may top Mitch’s response as the dumbest take im going to read today
There’s a big difference between “always vote for the Democrat” and “always vote for Trump”.
The only reason I voted blue last time around was because my third-party vote wasn’t anti-Trump enough in 2016. And I will continue voting blue until Republicans understand what Americans truly want from their politicians, and act accordingly. I will probably be voting blue for the rest of my life, but will be pleasantly surprised if there comes a time when I don’t have to.

A big chunk of the Trump electorate has been increasingly radicalized Republicans. Folks who genuinely believe Democrats are Satanic. The Trump movement works by tapping into this cohort and feeding on their intense anxiety.
Democrats are getting a similar treatment, particularly as old GOP staffers change parties.

Doggedly putting up candidates like Kristen Sinema, Eric Adams, and Dianne Feinstein to high office won’t compel Republicans to change.
One routinely sides with her conservative friends and calls it bipartisan, another feeds off blue lives matter jingoism and fuels the hysteria, and the third is too senile to present any kind of strategic opposition even presuming her politics don’t suck.
There’s no future for progressive politics in a party that can win as Republican Lite.
And the republicans will find something minor and insignificant about a democrat and make a massive deal about it as though they are equivalent issues.
Like Biden’s classified document issue compared to Trumps. Then they say, “See? Both sides are basically the same”.
Tbf, some Democrats don’t want it exposed, nor will resign when they are exposed. Some will run to their yacht to hide from angry constituents and not face intraparty opposition.

This. Democrats are not in a cult. Punish everyone who is doing crimes.
Can you imagine a congress and SCOTUS that actually acts in the interest of the people?
I’m 40 so no, not even remotely.
I literally cannot fathom this.

This got me curious if there were actually any recent cases of this…
Bob Menendez
Also: Joe Manchin.
Or hell be forced to stand completely still and silent while definitely not having a seizure.
No, those were strokes, not seizures.
But, but, but… dehydration 🙄
Yeah, all his blood dried up into clots.
We call it “blood” but it’s really just tar.
You call it “tar” but it’s really that alien from TNG episode Skin of Evil.
“You won’t like me if I get… uncivil” is the most Senate threat in the book.
Nevermind that we’ve got sitting Senators who have body-slammed journalists in recent memory.
