They just don’t care. They know the administration is going to back them, so they say anything that isn’t totally self-incriminating. I expect they’ll eventually stop caring about that too.

In the article, the minority party is described giving up a strong bargaining lever in exchange for vague promises with no guarantee of follow through. Again.
Controlled opposition. The rest of the world sees it. Why not Americans?
Again to point out for the rest: this is a textbook troll. It’s too perfect a mix of being demonstrably incorrect with being aggressively overconfident. It’s 100% ragebait, and the odds of someone truly being this ignorant while also being so furiously certain are low. Then ending with an insult? It’s too on the nose.
I’m not suggesting people don’t interact. I simply suggest we mock them for their poor trolling skills.
LOL obvious troll is obvious. I’m not an American! ROFLMAO
LOL this has to be rage bait. Even an American would know better.
Username checks out.
They just cycled a key figure out of public view. This is PR strategy - when criticism against a particular organization or any of its key figure(s) reaches a certain point, replace some key figures.
Tr;dr: the frogs in the pot all cheer as the cook is replaced and their replacement turns down the hob a touch.
People tend to see key figures as representative of entire organizations, e.g., there are so many people who see removing Trump as being a solution despite him being a clear symptom of the problem. Letting some take a fall is a PR win grab bag: many people interpret the “punishment” of a few people as being applied to the whole organization and it suggests reform and atonement without actually changing anything substantial. Then the new figures start and optionally say they’re changing strategies for future improvement - “it’ll work but it takes time, just trust me bro.”
As long as this round of musical chairs tells a story that enough critics want to hear, enough mounting critical pressure is reduced for the cycle to continue a bit longer.


Tl;dr: Democrats are controlled opposition.
When they do have any leverage, they find plenty of reasons not to use it. The Republican party has put on a decades-long master class on being obstructionist little twats, yet most Democrats fail to learn and the few that have often seem more like pressure release valves than actual agents of change.


I really hope you’re high as fuck right now.


The lack of self-awareness here is palpable.


Smart Launcher is great so far. Thanks for the recommendation.


I’m certain Stephen Miller has already assumed other wifely duties for Trump, so this wouldn’t be a stretch.


More people gently creep into dementia every day.


The “in matters of taste” line is misinformation started in the last decade online by people who repeat things without looking up if they’re true or not.


I can’t disagree. Democrats: different masks, same masters.


Your contributions are greatly appreciated, so keep yapping!


He’s everyone’s favorite stupid commie, thank you very much.
You’re also not stupid at all. I often wonder if you’re actually four people. If you’re not, props for being that good.


But no one is going to steal my car if they have to fight the three peacocks that are trying to fuck it.
I also make up things about people.
I heard about your coma and recent miraculous recovery after being kicked in the head while fucking a sheep. My sympathy goes out to your family and I wish ewe well.
