“We’ll figure out the accountability mechanisms at the appropriate time,” Jeffries told reporters.
Bruh how is it not here and now? If not now, when? if not you, who?
Yeah, right now send like a pretty fucking appropriate time!
If they were controlled opposition what would they be doing different right now?
This. The democratic establishment functionally appear to serve the same interests as their supposed opponents.
Spineless punk ass bitches.
Complicit punk ass bitches.
They don’t give a shit. All they care about is how it affects them politically. Which means they’re also fucking idiots because this isn’t even smart politically.
I guarantee you they’re worried about appearing soft on crime/immigration. They’re stuck in 2015 and I wish we could send them back there.
Seriously this is an unbelievably dumb fucking move. They cannot be this fucking dumb.
More and more I wonder who it is that actually calls the shots for these Democrats? Who is that gives them their orders. Obviously it's corporate donors just like it is with Republicans, but who are they?
Did they really let Venezuela happen because they didn't want to look weak, or do they share the same incentives as Republicans courtesy of the oil industry?
Fine, fuck it, rope for them too, hang out like Mussolini did.
Fuck these goddamn traitors.
I am obligated every time someone brings up Mussolini to remind everyone that Mussolini was not overthrown and executed by a plucky band of rebels who raided the capital, his removal from power and subsequent arrest was performed by his own government and the king of Italy at the time.
Mussolini was facing growing political and social disapproval and the rioting and insurgency happing throughout italy made the country lose faith in him, as well as the coming storm of allied nations getting closer and closer to Italy prompted his own government to depose him and hand him over to the opposition.
We can still beat this through political means, and kind of need to, otherwise we don't have an actual army behind us, we don't have a leader or support from anyone, we don't have secure coordination nor popular enough public sentiment to have anything close to a rebellion or coup. Yet.
And even if all that did come together, we would need a plan to deal with the fact that even if we solved everything and got rid of every last fascist in power in the USA, we still have to live next to the tens of millions of people who didn't want this action nor vote for it, people who have a lot of community power, social capital and vast stockpiles of weapons and ammunition.
You want to defeat this, you have to hunker down and get involved in your community. Hold protests, march, yes if enough people are getting together go ahead and demonstrate your willingness to disrupt the system. But the best thing you can do is form social connections and get enough people demanding better local and state representation. We need community back, less sheltered, atomized world-views and more broad-scale opposition.
Sadly no, but there's always the Gaddafi treatment.
Didn't they shove a rifle up his ass or something?
A knife.
Sure did.
This is it.
Civil shutdown which forces those in government who might do what’s needed to do it.
It requires hardship though.
Schuemer and Jeffries are not just useless, they are intentionally useless fuckwits. As with Johnson, they must be removed from office. Donorcrats and Turdpublicans alike are traitors.
One might call them controlled opposition
Schumner, Jeffries unable to speak coherently with all the donor dick in their mouth.
Not a time for a change in leadership but a time to obtain some leadership. Any leadership at all. Sometimes that means at least saying "Fuck You" to the people running this new system of government.
Whenever I see these two in a picture in my feed I know some pusillanimous bullshit is going down in the Democratic Party without even reading the headline or article
Anyone who doesn’t stand on the right side of this issue need to be thrown out regardless of their political views.
Tf is wrong with these dipshits
Controlled opposition.
They dont give a fuck about the average citizen. These are the same people that voted to slash funding Medicaid just a couple months ago. These are the same people that voted against impeaching Trump a couple months before that. These people want Republicans to pass every shithole bill they can because it's better for their bank account in the long run and the typical rube will blame the Republicans for it happening.
These two croaking would probably do more for the world than Trump. They're incompetent at best and traitors at worst.
Uhh….
THESE TWO ARE CONTROLLED
All of them are controlled.
Go ahead and call them complicit. This probably what they mean when they say they are 'playing the long game'. Idiots.
The Controlled Opposition Party at it again. Showing the world they won't do a damn thing to actually make things better. These corporate and AIPAC sponsored Dems need to go.
IF Dems ever take power again, the first thing they have to do is get rid of these treasonous DINOMAGAs. They are 50% of the reason that MAGA regained power. There is no way the virtuosically incompetent MAGAs should have survived the Biden Administration, they are far too stupid, but they had plenty of help, support, and cover by these two cowardly, insipid little bitches.
If they are anything like Biden then they will be calling for more support of ICE as Biden did with policing.
There's the Democrats I know
Important to remember that Jeffries has ties to the Kushner family. Also Chuck Schumer is in love with and subservient to his imaginary Republican friends.
If they were compost, at least they would be providing value for the planet.
Just food for thought.
In fact it’s food for microbes.
If they were, it would be even more toxic than a Monsanto product.
Schumer is the new McConnell. Determined to wreck the efficacy of the Democrats.
Schumer is a republican politician, of course he won't join Democrats
Thanks, pussies.
Of course. The Dems' donors won't allow any real opposition to fascism.
The Democrat party is a container of spoiled milk. We won't get an alternative because these parties still hold too much power.
But we can pour out the contents of the container. We can rinse it out and start over.
That's why aoc and zohran not endorsing a challanger to Jefferies is so stupid

Ineffective and out of touch leadership needs to step aside. AOC really ought to primary Schumer in 2028, but Democrats need different congressional leadership way before then. And Jeffries is so robotic to me. He never has the backbone when it's needed, just like Schumer
The largest blame belongs on the GOP, but let's be clear... Competent democratic leadership could have prevented all of this.
These crooked, shit ass democrats like Schumer, Jeffries, Pelosi - even RGB - are soaked at this point in the blood and despair of the American people.
RGB cold in her grave is to blame for our troubles now? Fucks sake if it weren't for her we would be miles worse. Stop taking one persons missteps and snowballing it into apocalypse. There are so many active agents of chaos already alive and well.
Seriously, a random time traveler stepping on a butterfly and consiquently the dinosaurs still existing make more sense that that garbage. You have the benefit of hindsight. Just like alcohol and weed, please use it responsibly.
RGB made the situation far worse by being a selfish greedy justice who refused to resign at a reasonable time. She held on FAR longer than was reasonable and as such deserves the blame.
Fuck Schumer, Pelosi and all the old ass Democrats.
The spineless shitlib corrupt politicians have once again shown their loyalty and its to the capitalist class. Once again those who seek to reform the system are consistently proven little more than controlled opposition.
This is why we must abolish capitalism in its entirety, there is no room to compromise with reactionary filth.
He’ll write them a strongly worded letter, at least.
They’ll be enabling mass graves. They’re not on our side
We need leaders that want to try new things and aren't afraid to fight back. This is not normal and if they are afraid then they need to step aside and let others lead.
Man, I mean what will the Baileys say of this?
Both parties are literally owned by the Israeli,s and the same Zionist oligarchs. Until we fix this fact nothing will change
I recognize that the knee-jerk reaction to end ICE is probably not the best solution.
But, read the room. Your constituents are begging you for strong leadership actions.
Why? What has ice done for anyone?
Every country on Earth has a version of "immigration police". The catch is that some governments aren't quite as malicious the current US administration. Some are even more than the US.
Most of them are not designed to emulate the SS.
Fire those sunza bitches!
