      It’s like the MAGA that screech “If all the Epstein files are released then Democrats will go to jail too because they are in there!” and we’re all like “GOOD! All criminals should be held accountable.”

        I gave one of them that response once. They just looked at me weird, like they couldn’t comprehend that I actually meant it. A few seconds later they just left the room without a word.

          I’ve had the same kind of thing happen in various circumstances. I think they really, deep down, don’t believe you on this, and if you manage to convince them of this, it’s like something shorts out in their head.

          They really just cannot comprehend that. Not the marks in the base, anyway.

          Their thought leaders do comprehend, and use that kind of morality as a weapon, because they know Democrats actually GAF about citizens and outcomes, etc. Republicans will just hold the entire nation hostage because they don’t.

      In case you hadn’t heard, Gonzalez says he’s resigning too. Of course, he didn’t do that until after the Dems announced they would be down a seat.

        Well, there are people like PEDOnald, however. Same with Lutnick.

        Still seeing ZERO consequences for those two.

    “I am deeply sorry to my family, staff and constituents for mistakes in judgement I’ve made in my past,” Swalwell said in his statement announcing his plans to resign. “I will fight the serious, false allegation made against me. However, I must take responsibility and ownership for the mistakes I did make.”

    Oooo he did some shit.

    Bye, bitch! Hope any victims get full justice. Also, it’d be nice if Republicans held their representative accountable…
