    Each of the last three presidents has been increasingly more impotent and correspondingly more significant in a future historical understanding of how the empire crumbled

    "mismanagement permeating the whitehouse"

    "Rudderless, aimless, hopeless,"

    "it gets to questions of basic management"

    :a-little-trolling: "You rigged the election for sleepy Joe. Where did that lead you? Back to me. "

      Trump as Lenin has to be one of my favorite bits on this site. I mean, I know its not exclusive to hexbear, but we do it best.

        I'm 99% sure it started on the Chapo sub so at the very least we can say we were there

    How many of these two dozen leading politicians where involved in hand-picking that shambling von Hindenburg? How many of them decided he needed another utterly, utterly incapable blue dog as running mate so she could react to this with "do what?"

    And this is a surprise from the “nothing fundamentally will change” or “I’m a transition candidate” guy?

    i haven't articulated this too well recently but i really do agree that we're generally overestimating democrats' complicity and intention to be such losers. there is definitely genuine geriatric incompetence

      They're all like 80+ years old, I can't imagine they'd have the energy to do half the work required to stop the ghouls even if they wanted to

      Although it makes me wonder where the equally ancient conservatives get their energy from

        money to pay for sharper people to figure out what to do. it almost seems like dem consultants exist to launder and rubber-stamp dem policy whereas rep ones provide strategy help

          Conservative ghouls are true believers because they can see concrete benefits they will reap from the realization of their project. They're motivated by material benefits.

    On one hand, I am saddened to see the closest thing the US has to a non-fascist party slip into irrelevance and witness the one-party state be made official, but on another, democrats brought this on themselves.

      We'd better fucking hope the US becomes an overtly one-party state, cus then people will only have one party to blame for all the problems, and it'll make resistance much easier. If Democrats are kept around as a completely neutered but still-officially-running party, they can keep this farce of a nonfunctioning democracy going for so much longer.

    White House counsel Dana Remus had assured senior aides the Supreme Court wouldn't rule on abortion that day. A White House press aide assigned to the issue was walking to get coffee when the alert hit. Several Democratic leaders privately mocked how the President stood in the foyer of the White House, squinting through his remarks from a teleprompter as demonstrators poured into the streets, making only vague promises of action because he and aides hadn't decided on more.

    YOU HAD THREE FUCKING MONTHS TO DECIDE! What the fuck were they doing!? Arergeriisdhfghgghhhh

    Turns out "god, make my enemies ridiculous" isn't a granted prayer, it's a curse.

    I think there's a 20% chance Republicans manage to pass a constitutional amendment in the next 4 year and 10% in the next 2. (To be clear, that's super high imo.)
