    Hahahahahah… Oh, that’s rich!

    Downvote me if you must, but just go see Minority Leader Jeffries’s comments downplaying the agenda most of us think should be priority… Like finally holding government officials to account for pedophilia, corruption, and treason. Apparently that’s too “revengey” for their billionaire handlers.

        I did miss that nuance, but not sure it impacts the ability of the parties to do something this radical.

          The allusion is to the state-level pact several states have made to always assign their electoral votes to the winner of the popular vote in their state. With Texas and other flipping, that makes enough states to be over 270 votes, meaning if all those new blue state governments join the compact, the EC essentially doesn’t matter anymore.

      Democrats can release the Epstein files right now.

      Would it be “legal”? Probably not.

      Anyway, leak it now, stop hiding behind the law you weenies.

      I agree with Jeffries that impeachment should not be a priority. Vance would pardon, there’s no point to it. Just investigate until Democrat President takes helm in two years.

      Trump will likely be dead by then, but his enablers can be brought to justice.

      Yep. Jeffries’s hasn’t even gotten the official promotion yet and he is already putting in the work to make sure the Democrats are the minority party again in 2028.
