lol at the extremely violent methods employed against peaceful protests pushing for justice vs. letting a bunch of fascists take the Capitol Building. just lol at this failed state of a country.

25th now, arrest trump immediately

Just to be real fucking clear: The defeated President encouraged his fascist supporters to violently seize power, and they're attempting to do so right now.

No-shit violent fascist coup assault on the Capitol right now

Don't give him too much credit, after a legitimately good Civics Lesson opening, he started blaming Democrats for it all.

Uh if they breech much deeper, it's federal police authorized with lethal force and tasked to defend the US Capitol Building at all costs. With, like, big-boy hardware.

Madison building also being evacuated. Meanwhile, members of the GOP are objecting with nonsense in Congress in order to attempt to steal the election.

Not if they nuke the Byrd rule, which would be a hardball move but not as big of one as taking down the whole filibuster.

Hey guys there's a violent fascist coup attempt going on at the Capitol right now

IL-15 represented by a fan of Hitler, cool cool

They can do one big bill a year through reconciliation without needing to nuke the filibuster.

If they're willing to play hardball enough to pack the courts, they'd be willing to nuke the filibuster over it. Which would be good, because the filibuster is bad. But they won't be that bold.

They'll control politics for a generation through the courts. Did you see how many 30-something FedSoc loons they jammed through over the past four years? edit: VVV speaking of ways they're going to use the courts to retain minoritarian power, SCOTUS green-lighting the most blatant gerrymandering possible is a big one!

Good, money isn't real, print more and build cool and good infrastructure.

Yikes
