Weak and spineless, you have the majority in the House and you can't even pass it? Fucking pathetic.

Dems are setting themselves up for losing the midterms next year, although it was already likely because of the midterm loss effect.

it's legendary-tier self sabotage, really
like as a humanitarian story it's a tragedy, as political maneuvering it's a farce

And when that happens, Biden is going to get nothing, nil, zilch, nada done beyond ruling by whatever decrees he can muster... and the US is going to implode further.

i'm sure this will help

Paving the way for another Trump win.

I mean campaigns from prison aren't without precedent...but doubtful.
A republican win maybe.

Do you seriously think Trump will face actual time behind bars?

I seriously doubt Trump is going to prison. Our reticence about prosecuting former presidents is so strong we'll probably never do it, even if he declared "you're damn right I ordered the code red!" on national TV.

I mean, out of the candidates who recently expressed interest, I'd say Trump has the best shot-no one will like Cruz or Gaetz. If we count Candace Owens as recent she is also likely. Out of the considered candidates, Larry Hogan and DeSantis have the best shot in my opinion. Haley and maybe Rand Paul are also possibilities, but from what I've seen of Haley in the Prager.U comments she's not well liked.

Bro, it literally says right there in the next sentence. Come on.

I don't think hes going to get off. I think he will go to jail and if he wants to run from prison by all means. It would be very interesting to see how many votes he got when he can't campaign and has a very limited campaign.

Eugene Debs did it why can't Trump?

No, but he did take a gig on CNN

Is it no longer possible to collaborate with political opponents at this stage?
