    This is what the people want.

    Let the republicans start impeachment or pull the 25th!

      Trump didn’t win because he was popular, he won because the Democrats are so massively unpopular, even with their own base. And one of the main reasons the Dems are so unpopular is the spineless Chuck Schmoozer who takes his orders directly from Netanyahu.

      Protest votes against Trump will be the only reason the Dems might be able to get re-elected. But even if by some miracle the Dems manage to take control of both houses, they will squander their time and be “unable” to make any serious changes to address income inequality, or to deal properly with the massive problems with the US healthcare scam. Maybe they’ll be able to legislate for abortion rights again at a federal level, because it doesn’t cost them anything, but tbh it wouldn’t surprise me if they fuck that up too.
