Among other things, "force Dems to take unpopular votes" would also mean forcing vulnerable Republicans to do so, which is why Congress isn't likely to do anything of substance until November

Yes, by all means spend the next 6 months making Trump the center of attention for the midterms and ensure every vulnerable Republican is tied to his demented, moldering corpse. I'm sure that will work out just great for you, Patrick.

Hoping that things go kind of okay even though the president is cognitively impaired and emotionally unstable, and the GOP members of Congress and Cabinet act as if they are 100% in a personality cult….seems to be wishful thinking. This is the Trump admin. It’s not going to suddenly go well.

For like 25 years Republicans have been obsessed with "forcing Democrats to take bad votes," which generally seems to mean "force Democrats to vote for things that we, the Republicans, want enacted but don't want to be blamed for." Which I get, but some of it just seems like sadism.

I don’t know that national celebrations of overthrowing tyranny and those who abet it will unify people in quite they want. 🤔 It does say a lot about their worldview that they view Republicans as the only true Americans. Would they imagine rallying round the flag for a Democrat? Transparently not.

@ghostymcghost.bsky.social · Apr 8
Yes, ruining a wonderful thing by showing up to the Artemis splashdown sounds awesome and not a way to use something genuinely awe inspiring to launder the unpopularity of a pedophile war monger that the GOP lacked the spine to call out.
