And Sleepy Joe Will Get The Credit: US Politics January 2021

it seems he isn't as fearless as he seemed before, he was just insulated from consequences like a spoiled toddler. and he seems spooked now, even as only 10 house republicans voted to impeach (which was insane, i expected way more).

the insanity among republicans runs deep atm

att, afaict

i think a lot of them are scared of being among the handful of house republicans to speak out, to be honest

not making excuses for them -- it's cowardly and fucked up. but i'll bet there are some who just don't want to get on the bad side of maga world

I am just pleased it's double digits

i think a lot of them are scared of being among the handful of house republicans to speak out, to be honest

How do you help a friend who's in an abusive relationship?

Scared of primaried or paramilitaried

Counterpoint:

I get it, but some of us just spent the last 2 years taking stances that have led to repeated attempts on our lives - for demanding guaranteed healthcare, immigrant justice, etc.

Sorry if this lacks empathy, but it’s a privilege if this is their first time. They can do one vote. https://t.co/PGPObm4K2C

yeah, aoc otm

how i break it down to an extent

she's great

Believe that tweet from my rep was posted already, who will be the third to do so?

the abusive relationship is a good analogy. these guys saw the crowd chanting "hang mike pence" and setting up a gallows. do they really think trump wouldn't turn on any one of them if he decided it was in his interest? they're like worm people, no backbone (this is a metaphor)

I very much want this to be true.

In case it doesn't show up, that tweet says:

I know a friend of a friend who changed her preference on Bumble to Conservative. She’s matching with MAGA bros and they’re bragging and sending her pics and videos of them in the Capitol. She’s sending them to the FBI.

abusive relationship is also a good analogy because the most dangerous part about it is leaving the relationship.

i doubt the fbi is going to do anything about people who aren't direcly implicated in assault or property damage or whatever

Is it safe to assume that Trump's new video is 95% about begging the PGA Tour back to his golf course?

A lot of reporters sliding into her DM on that Twitter post. Guess we’ll be reading more soon enough if this girls friend of a friend is for real!

“Make no mistake here. The hypocrisy of the left is on full display,” Boebert continued, highlighting previous comments from Democrats which could be seen as calls for violence.

It's in the next paragraph

not sure that "could be" really holds up under journalistic scrutiny though

can they force trump to testify in his impeachment trial this time? the nation deserves some answers

Trump's in-person testimony would only be the usual word salad. They should depose him separately, with counsel attending, and see what usable bits float up among the garbage.

absolutely love to, several times a day, convert ILX into a monetizing clickfarm for a company actively tearing down democracy internationally and that materially contributed to organising an attempted armed coup against the United States six days ago

I'm with sic on this, always strip the referrers from a URL when you c+p!

I kind of wish the WaPo headline was "Trump Impeached ... Again!"

Do Boomers know any other Bible passages?

The one about never touching the thermostat iirc

the time to kill and the time to tear down was last week, you see

"Make me a channel of your tweets" next week

That's the pause for the acoustic guitar bits.

“He is feeling increasingly alone and isolated and frustrated,” this official said.

Yeah my "increasingly isolated" tank was low.

at some point today I was watching CNN and got my "increasingly isolated" bell rung

When Trump is gone I will be reduced to hanging around recording studios asking the engineer if there's anything (like a vocal or an oboe track) that needs to be isolated more. Failing that I will hang around CDC virus research labs asking about their biosafety protocols.

Just begging someone, anyone to utter the magic words "increasingly isolated."

I used to get so fucking isolated to the point where I could barely breath it was such a rush and hot af

Why’d you have to go and get increasingly isolated?
