Ginger in a thong sounds pretty good to me.
there is a lovely pound cake and coffee on the server, help yourselves.
She is 86 you know.
Thanks for the cake, you gotta try this coffee.
Term limits are one way. Easily done with simple majorities of both bodies and the presidency.... assuming you dump the filibusterer.... also done with a simple Senate majority vote.
Once the Dems dump that.... all avenues open right up. Pack the court? it can be done. If you like the court with 9 justices you're gonna love it with 15. Make AOC one, that'll get their panties in a real twist. Another fix would be that all the appelate justices are drawn by lot and that group rules on the case. No need even for a Supreme court at all, any judge could be called. Lincoln changed the court to thwart a Southern power grab, this is no different.
Once we fix the court were gonna have to fix it so the Repubs will never have the chance to mess it up. That won't be hard, tRump will hang around their necks until whoever gave him to us calls him back. Still, insurance will be needed. For that we need some new states. Washington DC deserves representation. Also Puerto Rico. And even Guam and the Virgin Islands if you want it so the Repubs are a permanent minority. Once the filibuster is gone that too can be done with a simple majority vote.
Question is; Do the Dems have the stones to run the table? They never have before, but we've never had a threat to our democracy like tRump and his Retrumplicans. Once the "new" court strikes down the ACA and then Roe, I think they will. No way they'll let a tRump packed court stand. Keep in mind the next Senate cycle is just as bad for the Republicans as this one so this ain't gonna end anytime soon for them. Not this year but next....

you actually think Trump is dangerous to your democracy while you condone the actions of a rogue socialist political party that's trying to destroy your election system thru riots, violence and cheating.
Do you seriously think their would be no push back. Best case scenario the Republicans play tit for tat. Greater Idaho, there has been talk of splitting California in to 5 states, Eastern Oregon. Texas could be split in to dozens of states.
Apparently, you guys didn't learn from Harry Reids failure. Democrats thirst for power, only hands huge wins to the Republicans.
The American people would not stand for this .don't forget the house is in a perpetual state of re-election, moderate democrats will get eviscerated if they even hint at this shit. Don't forget extremist leftist are only 10% of the populace.
If you can't win fairly, burn it down right?
I have always known how authoritarian the left is. Thanks for exposing it to the world.
Who are you kidding Sunshine? What you accuse us of you yourself are guilty of ten times over. Rogue? That's your beloved leader. Treason tRump. Once he started spouting election fraud and not accepting the results of the election then all bets are off. That's when YOU as good Americans step back and say "What the fuck??? I can't buy what you're selling because it requires me to shit on more half of my fellow citizens!!!"
But no. You sheep remain quiet. Two hundred thousand dead Americans because that stupid orange fuck couldn't or wouldn't get his head out of his ass and use the power at his fingertips to save this country. Your good with that. Are you ok with that? Nothing to see here, move along. He's owning the Libs, we drink your tears.
He is bringing this great country to it's knees and you can't see it. Or you can and you just don't care. He's gonna lose, and lose badly. You know it, that's why you nutballs are getting so crazy as the end draws near. Biden has ten paths to 270 and tRump has one. Only problem is tRump is gonna wreck everything on his way out. Like Hitler did as Germany collapsed at the end of WW2.
You guys are gonna lose Ohio for Christ's sake! O fuckin' hio. Do you believe that? How do the Republicans lose Ohio? Oh I know! You let a plague that kills the old run rampant thru primarly older voters. Then you tell them they are nobodies and that they need to be "warriors for the economy" and to suck it up. Then you wonder why they won't vote for you. Idiots.
Save your righteous indignation for the blind.
Authoritarian Left? After tRump you can say that with a straight face? I don't hear Biden squealing about voter fraud and threatening to steal the election. Why is it you are so guilty of whatever sins you seek to heap onto us?
And the possibility of the Dems packing the court the same way the Republicans did when they refused to vote on Merrick Garland back in 2016. Did you forget about that? That's what started this whole ball rolling. Are we suppose to reward Mcturtle for stealing a seat from us and not do the same thing right back when it became possible? That's not what the Republicans did. They played hardball and won. Should the Dems do the same thing? Play the game just as hard as the Republicans? Guess what? After tRump and the Republican collapse the only way to save this country and this planet is to learn to fight like a Republican, against the Republicans. So my guess is after a year of obstruction the current court will be fixed.
Fact of the matter is Washington DC need to be made a state. The people there are constantly shit on by the Feds. The Dems could make 4 new states and the Republicans will be powerless to stop them. Eight new Democratic senators would permanently alter the power in Washington. No Republican states will be admitted because the Republican party didn't bother to market themselves to the youth of today. Thirty years they'll be gone, gone like the dinosaurs, and the dodo.
Rhetoric that seeks to define classes of Americans: suburban citizens should fear that people of different economic backgrounds and colors will invade thier quiet residencies, a desire to regress our way of life to one where it is socially acceptable to voice deep seated beliefs in the superiority of certain lineages. To me this rhetoric is eerily similar to the speeches of Hitler during his consolidation of power and establishment of the fascist regime. It boggles the mind at times to hear people throw accusations of fascism at those who protest the "we can do no wrong" attitude of the law enforcement establishment when the fascist rhetoric is being fed to the people by our current leader, DT. The friction between his faction and those who desire justice in our society may escalate to a critical point. Which path will you choose to walk?
Keep dreaming, if you think a bunch of pink haired basement dwelling soy boys, are going to take over this country with no resistance, you have lost your mind. You should probably get out of Portland, and familiarize yourself with non leftist. We love our country, and we will not allow you to destroy our nation. Go to the Midwest during deer season, that's your opposition. Portland PD won't be there to protect you.
Tucker is only in it for the money. Lies his ass off reading what is put in front of him by his writers; most of it moronic shit that he exaggerates to the nth degree. You do know he did the same for CNN previously right? When he tries interviewing, he shouts people down he can't debate.
