As the 2026 midterm elections fast approach, and with assessments suggesting a potentially strong performance from Democrats, a number of top Trump administration officials may resign in an effort to avoid being “slapped with subpoenas” from a Democrat-controlled Congress, political analyst and jour...
They have no path to win midterms, and they will run first. Funny thing is that they literally have nowhere to run. 🤣
Please. Nothing will happen because the Supreme Court will back Trump. Trump will pardon them.
The only possible path to accountability is if Democrats take control of Presidency/House/Senate in 3.5 years. And even then I doubt anything will be done in the name of “healing the nation”.
We don’t have 3.5 years, the midterms are all we have left.
In less than a year, the GOP has normalized complete fealty and disregard of the rule of law to Trump. Complete victory for fascism in the US right now is a matter of “when” and not “if.”
Which makes the midterms (ugh, once again, I’m getting so tired of this) the most important election of our lifetimes. Assuming we can still get free and fair elections in 2026 before total fascist takeover, re-elevating Congress to an equal branch of the government is literally the only legal move we have left.
TL;DR Dominion, the voting machine company, has since been sold to a company run by a former election official who happens to be a Republican voter. For about a decade he ran a company selling an iPad-based device to help poll workers check in eligible voters.
One could see this as him just expanding his business but that is a huge upgrade. Where did he get the money for that? And why did it happen only a couple of weeks ago just as the polling was showing a landslide against Trump?
If things keep going as they are (and maybe already), there’s no chance for a free and fair midterms election. The last election was the most important one and we blew it.
I agree we jumped off the cliff. But since I’m not ready to smash against the rocks, I’m holding onto any rational hope, even if it’s akin to fashioning a parachute out of our shirts on the way down.
Same. Cognitive dissonance allows me to both acknowledge reality and cling to hope at the same time. You never know if it’s really hopeless until you’ve actually hit the rocks, so let’s go ahead and try to make that parachute.
I live in a red state but I’ve still always voted so it won’t be that different for me anyway. 🥲
He doesn’t want it to open. He’s got more power without all that overview. And his goal is to crash and burn everting, so shutting g down the government help with that.

That is if these Nazis haven’t already fully rigged the coming mid-terms, through all the various/nefarious means.
They own the voting machine companies, no ?
I doubt it. Didn’t Trump lose a legal battle saying the machines were rigged against him?

I don’t think we did. Remember when the traitors had their hands on physical voting machines and source code?
He didn’t win. He wasn’t shot. He’s on the list.
The list?

Bruh real talk, you can’t vote your way out of fascism. You know exactly what I’m talking about.
Honestly the whole budget crisis gives me hope that our institutions are holding up.
Trump hasn’t “ordered” that the government reopens.
He doesn’t want it to open. He’s got more power without all that overview. And his goal is to crash and burn everting, so shutting g down the government help with that.
He’s certainly complaining that he wants it re-opened.
He’s been simultaneously bragging and telling Republican senators not to negotiate
… a fleet of guillotines.
Edit: I don’t actually know the collective noun for a group of guillotines, or even if there is one.
I don’t know either, but I think a “gallery” would be a fine collective term.
It’s “a justice” of guillotines.
A terror of guillotines
The collective term is a “find out”.
Yes the left loves this BS.
