Counterpoint: Democrats absolutely won’t regret it. www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

Nah man, you were all for it until you saw what it was actually gonna be like. There were many, many people describing what it was gonna be like and many of these same people are telling you now to expect it will get worse.

Is anyone going to support him in the next go round?

On the upside, tickets to World Cup games are probably gonna be cheaper

I agree. AOC’s support is much more genuine and based on enthusiasm for her. Newsom’s appeal is much more superficial. His dabbling in right wing media just demonstrates he has no set principles.

Folks, this shit is stupid. They have no plan and the only way we’re ever going to solve healthcare is making sure everyone is covered through some form of universal insurance.

The Sound of Freedom indeed!

There is a reason that 1919 White Sox were banned from baseball for life. None of this is new, yet greedy sports execs saw 💰💰💰💰💰 and thought this was gonna be alright. Just wait until umpires and referees are being targeted.

This would be really an indictment of Merrick Garland for not pushing this harder if he had this information on hand and it was NOT put out there. Clearly the entire 2024 election would have been different.

One funny thing MAGA chuds continue to point out when Epstein is brought up is a real investigation might rope Bill Clinton into. It never sinks in that, yes, everyone is ok with that happening.

It feels like we’ve not seen the worst yet. Once it becomes clear that Trump is very cornered, on Epstein, the economy, and ongoing inhumane treatment of immigrants, the administration is going to lash out. This is quite possibly how they would do it.

I’m not going to lie - Van Hollen standing up for Kilmar Abrego Garcia in the darkest days of this admin was a real turning point for me. It was a brave act. If he’s jumping on M4All, I’m keeping an eye on him.

Why import low wage servants when you can just make college educated people replaced by AI be the low wage servants? Amirite JD?

Everyone is correcting the substance here so I'll skip ahead to note that the last year has been a good test of the theory that most people just want bigotry rather than housing (& etc.) and that theory turns out to be totally wrong for a large majority, including virtually all the swing voters.

Easily the most compelling factor for any Republican trying to block this. Threats from Trump and his MAGA chuds aren’t going to prevent a death knell to your public and possibly private career. And Donald Trump is not known for his graciousness. If you help him you ain’t getting shit.

Complete 🐂💩

To give some perspective, he’s more unpopular at this point in his second term than W was in ‘05. It’s going down hill pretty fucking quick.

Wut?

NGL, the Epstein stuff they are leaking out does actually seem like things are gonna get weird and there’s gonna be a whole bunch more.

This lady knows how to keep her gravy train running under this administration.

This is wild when you consider we had a worldwide pandemic 5 years ago which slowed everything to a halt. This bozo could’ve just coasted on Biden’s economy but he just came in and wrecked everything.

These are the people that were most harmed for what the 8 cowardly Democrats did. If they don’t think fighting against Trump is worthwhile, resign your seat right the fuck now.

Many of the 8 defectors are not up for reelection for a while or are retiring. They think they are insulated from this really, really dumbass move. I don’t live in Maine but I’m sure this absolutely weak willed loser is not the best Maine has to offer.

If Senate Democrats are caving so the Epstein files are released then I guess that’s something more than this giant nothing burger they are probably gonna get out this current deal.

Other than being burly dudes, they really didn’t have much in common. Platner’s rhetoric is much more populist.

Are they going to support single payer now? I mean, what’s the plan here?

Why give an inch? Why let them save any face? The reasons Democrats have record low approvals is because of this Neville Chamberlain style leadership. The irony is Chamberlain was actually doing what the British public wanted. The Democratic base does not want this bullshit.

In the future, BlackRock will own all the houses

It would be awesome to see just one positive development on immigration. If you practice in the field, it’s dark. Nothing that has come out of the immigration court system has been positive. It’s been overwhelmingly negative. Punitive, absurd, and frightening. USCIS not much better.

I don’t live in California, but the only thing this guy is known for doing as governor is arresting homeless people and going to a five star restaurant without a mask on the middle of COVID. I can’t see him generating major enthusiasm.

Oh no don’t do that so bad please don’t do it

People (and apparently many Republicans including Trump) fail to recognize that the current Congressional districts are hyper partisan. If they carve up Dem districts, you’re just going to dilute Rep districts. In a wave election that could very matter and next year could very be a massive wave.

You can tell an elder millennial based almost entirely on their opinion of Dick Cheney.

When you deal with asylum cases, you become more attuned to the elements of persecution. It’s been easy to elements of persecution appearing in enforcement actions, such as attacking peaceful protestors. Inhibiting the exercise of religion is another one.

He’s managing to outdo W’s approval/disapprovals at this point in his term. I have little doubt it will end as ignominiously if not more reviled. news.gallup.com/poll/116500/...

That that got that auto-pen pardoning people lmao

Calling bullshit

Modern day slave catchers? What could go wrong?

Virtual hearings are a godsend to our legal system

At this point, the blatant Islamophobia and racism is just so laughable. It’s half-assed. It’s not even desperate, it’s pathetic.

Aside from impunity and repeated human rights violations, what could go wrong with this?!

How about we take another $130 million from a billionaire to keep it funded? How about a few of them?

It took me a minute to realize they were trying and failing to go after John Oliver. Folks, be very careful going after comedians unless your skin is thicker than a rhinoceros (they have thick skin right?) just to easy to make fun of these whiny, self important people.

I had to do a double take to see if this post was from 2017

genuinely so funny that rightwingers are saying this as if it should be scary or bad lmfao

Congress created Special Immigrant Juvenile Status as a protection against deportation — yet because of procedural quirks, there is a lag/limbo between SIJS and a green card, and a person can have both a removal order AND a SIJS grant. This admin is pushing forward with removal during this lag time.

So . . . these guys CAN pay a lot more in taxes 🤔

As a reminder, when Biden announced student loan forgiveness—based upon a statute passed by Congress which explicitly said the President could do exactly that—Douthat called it "semi-Caesarist" because it was done "without consulting Congress."

The only credit I’ll give her is she did not run the worst campaign in 2024. That was easily Biden. She did run the worst one in the 2020 cycle, when she had to compete with many others. She may not be done, but I think most voters in the party will be done with her.

Johnson has clearly abdicated his decision making to the White House. It’s obvious to any neutral observer. Trump’s boasts are not surprise here.
