  They don’t have what it takes, and the American public won’t hold anyone accountable for any amount of time. Cooked.

  you’re a real beacon of fuckin hope

  also, do you really clamor for someone who’s vengefully coiled waiting to break the system entirely to visit misery on some rural voter schmuck or should they focus on restoring the national character (chisel all that shit off the walls and strip the gold spray paint off too), rebuild alliances, constitutionally establish trans rights as human rights, restore the economy, etc.,? bring back the deported, prosecute ICE architects and the fascist footsoldiers… roll back all of trump’s signatory bullshit, put maxwell into the wost fuckin hole they can find, release the epstein files etc.,

  and even then, it still wouldn’t be enough - they deserve worse. but. priorities.

  this is a real problem, they’ve fucked up more stuff than can conceivably be fixed in a single admin.

      russia has seen enormous segments of it’s industrial sector and especially it’s resource extraction hammered.

      hope it’s not a cold winter, because ooof… might just lead to an overthrow of putin.
