We must not allow the GOP to profit from a stolen election. Undo Trump. Impeach his judges, or add seats to courts -- 2 seats for every Trump judge, and fill them with liberal judges.

I'm sure the OP mean realistically. Sad to say, his judges and Justices are here for decades.

Adding seats is much more realistic. Hope they go to 11.

That can be done with a majority.
Win the senate. Expand all the courts. Nullify the stolen-seat Trump judges, at the District, Circuit, and Supreme Court levels.

Very first thing to do: to nullify Gorsuch, add two new seats, nominate Garland to one and a good progressive to the other.
Then two new seats to nullify Kavanaugh’s stolen seat.

Do it. This is possible. And it’s the only kind of hardball politics that Republicans will ever take seriously. If you want to stop Republicans from screwing the country you MUST take away their ill gotten gains.

to counteract their votes.


(It doesn't completely fix things as some decisions are made by a single judge. But it can be done with simple majorities in House+Senate plus the presidency.)

I saw a report on cable tonight about how Dems may actually run the table in 2020 and take it all. Polling is indicating a possible sweep.

And we will want NOTHING TO DO with any forgiveness or reconciliation or any such stupidity.

Right??

If you want to address the disease, find the people in your life who believe Fox News more than you and talk to them until the opposite is true.

Some of the effect he's had on government and the US psyche is going to be permanent.
We are coming out of this changed and will never be able to completely rid ourselves of the stink.

So you might say he will be the most influential president in US history. In a horrible way, of course.

...Bernie is the antidote to trump and trump-like people and policies...

...Bernie's vision for our country and world will take us off the trump collision course and put us back is sync with the rest of the world...

...whether it's healthcare, climate change, college debt, women's right, retirement security, etc., Bernie is mainstream with workable ideas to repair all of trump's damage...

...take a look,

Obviously, you are extremely enthusiastic about Bernie, and that’s great. But posting his ads here is coals to Newcastle— there isn’t a DUer around who doesn’t know all about Bernie.

And there are other solid DEMOCRATIC candidates as well.
