IтАЩd like to say theyтАЩre collecting intel and trying not to show their hand until they play it. But the reality of the situation is theyтАЩre prob just all scared and worried about personal retaliation. Or they just donтАЩt care because theyтАЩre also getting fat off of all this.
I think you've got it: Dems "don't care because they're also getting fat off this." Politicians of ALL parties aren't in it to help people -- they're politicians because they like the power and attention and potential for making more money down the line as newscasters, etc. All the pols want to do is keep their jobs. That's why the threat of "primarying" people who don't toe the line is so effective. [Correction: MAYBE Jimmy Carter is the exception and was a pol who actually cared about people.]
I say if they are too afraid then GTF out of the way and let others who will fight.
I mean i get SM messages from jeffries talking about the cost of eggs I replied are you serious there is a COUP HAPPENING as we speak! I said no one cares about eggs !!! Get out there and DO SOMETHING!
Thumbs down......y"all have no clue how the government works......WHAT specifically can the DEMS do?? Seriously...share your wisom on this!!! I won't hold my breath because you do not KNOW.......the DEMS have NO power.....
If you focus on who is corrupt in breaking the law and undermining the constitution, maybe we would get someplace. The democrats are fine, and they're doing what they can. They have amassed lawyers all over this country. Trust me, it's going to turn. The alternative is, we will be a dictatorship or kleptocracy. We are already in a constitutional crisis.
There are people in government who have taken an oath to protect and defend the constitution against all enemies both foreign and domestic. I would think some human force is going to do whatever is necessary.
Legal pushback to EOs isnтАЩt seeming to make a difference. Any changes already seen are due to compliance without enforcement. Kinda meaning theyтАЩre not so much following directive, but acting on permission granted.
Because that's exactly what most/many ARE doing. Started with Biden and his arrogance in refusing to step down as he promised he would. Followed up by Dem leadership waiting years to tell him NO, in line with this whole absurd "legacy" thing about whose turn it is to be Presidential nominee. Continues with the posturing HERE about Trump "losing, imploding," etc. At least I assume the leadership of Meidas is Dem -- maybe they're not.
you are mistaken. The blame lies with the people who refused to impeach him during his first tenure despite voicing his part in the Zelinsky quid pro quo and the J6 insurrection.
You obviously don't know enough about me to make that statement. I worked in D.C. for a Libertarian Think-Tank, was an Assistant U.S. Attorney . . . But as it makes you feel good to think you know everything about someone you've never met, go for it!
sorry you're getting attacked by ignorant people assuming things that are not true and immediately going towards the assumption that if you are not a Smith, or a Johnson or whatever, you must be non-American.
Can't have a decent dialogue and exchange of ideas with this level of intellect. Ignore them
So what is wrong? YouтАЩre not offering a position, just shitting on an internet stranger. Not exactly helpful. If you have something constructive to say, go for it. Infighting isnтАЩt going to get us anywhere.
I love this post because it actually gives us a guide for moving in the future. We need a plan and this is a good start. Now we have to get everyone on the same page.
What specifically do you think the Dems can do? They are in the minority in BOTH the House and the Senate......Dem governors ARE standing up to dumpy......the courts can decide to say the actions dt and musk are taking are illegal, but who will enforce their decision? NOT the DOJ....NOT the FBI.....so WHO??
It is very easy to demand someone take action without acknowledging that they have NO power.......
I'm happy that some judges are keeping the Constitution alive. Why does it feel like the Dems are only posturing and not standing up??
Erik, WHY,???? Aren't Republicans Not Standing Up Against Trump? Would Like to Know You're Take On This. Thank You!
Boom!

I donтАЩt agree. I think Dems do care
I believe theyтАЩre all in it IтАЩve seen some from Jamie Raskin has set up a committee for anyone in the gov. that have federal jobs
Not a time to split and blame. LetтАЩs join together and FIGHT
I pray that the latter isn't true.
I say if they are too afraid then GTF out of the way and let others who will fight.

I agree
They are in on this and will benefit, while the rest of us suffer. And I DO mean SUFFER

TheyтАЩre with you rn too
Very upset over not following Constitution. The emolument clauses , if enacted ,could end corruption in congress and presidency
Some of* the Dems
Yes, I think the corporate dems are standing in the way of others.
thumbs DOWN on this comment...blocking them from doing WHAT???
They should abandon the hearings.. they are going to get in anyway and focus on legal action to all executive orders

Wholeheartedly agree
You obviously know NOTHING about the U.S. CONSTITUTION Or any other aspects of our Government.

Shut the Fc#k up Dickhead!!
