In 2028 when we win the presidency, i would like to see a really aggressive AG appointed!

No more Merrick Garland's, probably not even Jack Smith (although I respect him and think he could make a good AG).

I'm thinking of someone more like Jason Statham.

Let's show these assholes what real justice is like!

Am I advocating violence, Yes I am.

They started it, we need to finish their reign of violence forever!

No one is ever held accountable for anything. It’s always “let’s look ahead, not behind” and the Overton Window moves steadily to the right.

I have zero faith in this system. It all seems so fake.

even figuratively. Well other than WFP and DSA anyway, and there aren't enough of them to matter. We'll be told we need to go along to get along:

That we need to work together with our friends across the aisle.
That we have to respect the ideas and values of others, because if we force thing it'll create conflict.
That we need to tighten our belts and do more with less, because GOP law is the law of the land.
That we need to create a hardy business climate so that corporations GIVE us jobs.
That we need to balance our possibly valid environmental concerns with the NEEDS of corporations.
That we need to appeal to the values of those rural and small town racist white voters.
That we need to be careful about moving too far too fast.
That we need to give them more time to see the light and appeal to their better angels.


Just like we have been told since forever. And it has only ever served to embolden the far right. And the richest will get richer at everyone else's expense. Ah, that's bipartisanship!

That they have instigated, and even more to send a message, "you fuck with us, be prepared to be FUCKED"!

I WANT VENGEANCE!

We have been the good guys long enough. See where it has gotten us.

Let the assholes find out we can and will hit back harder than they hit us! It's the only language bullies understand.

I am trained in martial arts, you learn early in training, make them understand, it's going to get worse.

And she’s already been confirmed by the senate.

Her name is Pam, and she appears to be just your style.

If you want JUSTICE (which all lovers of democracy should want), then you’ll have to look harder.

But nothing will change until the court is expanded and the current MAGA majority is neutralized.

Since they are almost always in their favor.

Why follow the lawless example of republicans when, with just a little courage and determination, Dems can just change the law, and neutralize the current majority.

Your bloodlust appears to have blinded you to the moral, just and simpler path forward.

I'm 50-50 on what his politics might be though, and he hates talking about it. He might be apolitical like my dad. As a kid in 1984, I asked him if he was going to watch the election results. He said something like "nope, no matter who wins, I still have to go to work tomorrow morning."
