Wow … if the Russians ever figured out what they were doing, they might posed a bit of a threat.

I never insulted you … I asked a legitimate question. Too many people are telling us we have to do something when they know there is little we can do. For example: how exactly should we protect these first responders?
Paul Gino (@paulgino.bsky.social) reply parent
OK, so instead of enlightening me, all you can do is throw childish insults like that … not surprised.

What’s particularly maddening to me is the large number of people who tell us we have to do something when they know there is nothing we can effectively do.

My point is that it’s counterproductive for us to hate on our Dem leadership because they aren’t doing anything - we need to accept the fact that there’s nothing they can do until we’re able to elect a LOT more of them. And as long as Trump is alive, we can forget about getting help from the GOP.

What I’m saying is that, in this context, it doesn’t mean anything since it isn’t a thing. Beyond that, it means what you think it means.

No, they can’t. There’s no provision in the constitution for something like that, and a state can’t override the constitution.
Paul Gino (@paulgino.bsky.social) reply parent
Unfortunately, no. The only way to remove a member of congress is to vote them out of office, and the only way to remove a cabinet member is to impeach them. The latter can only happen if we are able to do the former in a really big way.
Paul Gino (@paulgino.bsky.social)
But there’s something wrong with everyone in his cabinet too.

Men have been fucking up the world from the dawn of time. They really shouldn't be in charge of anything important to life and the flourishing of all beings. Yet they're too full of themselves to look at their own track record of atrocities, and too sunk in stubborn stupidity to stand down.

None of these points matter when Congress is completely controlled by the president. If they aren’t willing to assert their authority, then they may as well have none. Likewise, if the DOJ isn’t willing to prosecute anyone in Trump’s admin for their crimes, their crimes are irrelevant. 🫤

TBH, I can understand where they’re coming from and I hope it can all be solved in some legit manner. I just don’t have the degree of optimism it takes to say we should absolutely rule anything out. The time may come when we have to choose the lesser of evils. IMO everything is less evil than Trump.

Yes, I’ve watched all the movies and read all the books - you don’t need to have time in the military to know how it has worked out in the past. I agree it could all go horribly wrong, but I believe we stand a better chance of a good outcome that way than we do sitting back and watching Trump.

I’ll say it again: the only purpose served by “thoughts and prayers” is to allow people to pretend they are doing something to help this situation, when in fact, they are doing nothing. Prayer discourages real actions.

How is prayer important, Joe? Here’s how: it enables people who are moved by this horror to convince themselves that they are doing something about it, when in fact they aren’t doing a damn thing. Prayer only does harm.

Trump has never changed when pressure was applied by the left - only his base and only trivial matters. You’re clearly engaged in an ego trip, don’t want to hear any more from you. Nothing personal, I just don’t have time for someone so obviously dishonest in their arguments. We’re done here.
Paul Gino (@paulgino.bsky.social) reply parent
Power comes from having a majority in the House and a supermajority in the Senate, and we don’t have that now. Until 2026, the people have no power. I know it makes you feel special to pretend we do and to lecture others about it, but it’s simply not true.
Paul Gino (@paulgino.bsky.social) reply parent
Pressure can’t change election results. The GOP has the majority in both houses, and they all know that they can’t vote against Trump. There is proof of that in their voting records. They all got a ton of pressure on several occasions since November and they all ignored it.
Paul Gino (@paulgino.bsky.social) reply parent
🙄At least you didn’t say something dangerous. Useless (you do know that there’s nothing our Reps can do other than campaign, right?), obvious, but not something Trump especially wants us to do like rise up in the streets.
