      Rep Doggett (D) Texas is on MSNBC right now calling for Biden to withdraw. Jesus Fucking Christ, we’re sinking the boat ourselves.

      There’s a joke about Democrats. We form circular firing squads.

      If Republicans were Batman they’d ally with the people who killed his parents if it meant getting what they want.

        Joe Chill came from humble origins and did more to eliminate the billionaire class than anyone before or since. He’s clearly a lefty! /s

      I still remember Libs telling us to wait on the Mueller report “Trust in the process! These things take time to play out in the legal system!”

      Liberals really think fascists are going to play fair and abide by rules.

      “Don’t freak out, trust the process. Mueller is right now playing 5D chess while Trump is playing checkers. The wheels of justice are slow.”

      There are some legal experts (and personally safe liberals) that are really devoted to the idea that the system works. If there is a big change in the legal system that on its surface seems horribly harmful, we need to look on the bright side rather than question tearing the system apart, because their whole identity is built around it just being a benign system bending toward justice if you wait long enough and the worst thing that could happen would be people losing faith in the “rule of law” and disrupting the status quo.

      Notice how nobody admits that Smiths decision to ask the supreme court to expedite review in the first place backfired…

      No its just a prospective mountain of evidence that may or may not exist might sway the public against him 12 to 24 months from now in a 5d legal chess manuever give me a fucking break. This is just pure cope. Direct action is the only answer and everybody who tries it in earnest is just gonna get assassinated.

      The only backfire that could feasably stop him would come from a poorly maintained rifle.

      That entire article reminds me of when I was told by my very rational and intelligent friends that I was overreacting to Kavanaugh’s nomination proceedings - something about how his nomination would backfire.

      What a stark contrast compared to what we have to worry about now.
