there won't be as next election.

The power of the state will be employed to investigate, charge, arrest and indict a large number of Dem office holders and candidates. I would expect a multi-front assault on the national party as well as many Trump-unfriendly media outlets.

I predict we will see super-majorities for the Republicans in Congress and at state levels.

If he'll do that, why would he respect his constitutional term limit or elections in general?

Schumer has postponed his scheduled book tour appearances scheduled for this week.

Most likely a very good move, glad to see that he agrees with me on something. Pretty sure that his book signings would not have been very pleasant.

I wish he was our senate leader.

Republicans have been working tirelessly for almost 70 years to reach this exact point. They're not going to allow something as trifling as democracy to take it all away from them now.

this since the New Deal. Though it really wasn't highly noticeable until the 70's -- so I'd put it at more like 50 years. A lot of us old timers probably became concerned about exactly that -- the Rs having a long game strategy for turning back the clock so to speak that they were working while Dems -- remaining ever faithful to bipartisanship -- negotiated with them over time incrementally in what seemed like "one step forward two steps back" fashion over most of those 50 years.

Really, it's no wonder many found green or other third party candidates attractive. I've spoken with many Greens who say they gave up on the Democratic Party for exactly this reason or they were just as susceptible to the influence of money as Rs.

I've nevertheless remained a loyal albeit sometimes wistful Dem candidate voter -- because it seemed like the only realistic choice. My patience is wearing thin these days.

I've been watching this for fifty years myself.

the far-right has been ramping up.

More Putin wisdom. Even if you lose playing by the rules, you still lost. They succeed by ignoring the rules. They've bent the Court, making the rules quaint, and their army of goons are "standing back and standing by". In this instance, Honor itself is a hostage, and winning will mean matching deplorable with deplorable. We can't beat them without getting down in the gutter with them. This is our only salvation, and we'll have to mortgage our Honor and make them pay to redeem it. We can turn the other cheek later. I blame Religion.

or, at least, anything we would call a fair election.
Chris Murphy is right… We only have a few months before extreme violence is the only option left to the public. WTF? We keep acting like there is a rule book.

We need to immediately launch recall petitions in every state for every Republican in Congress. We must take back control of Congress before it is too late.

[link:https://www.everycrsreport.com/reports/RL30016.html]

A petition from every State (signed by their constituents) to both sides of Congress requesting that the Republicans from that State (by name) should either resign or be removed by whichever house it is that they reside in on the grounds that they are not abiding by their oath of office and are not representing their constituents best interests by following along with Trump's dictates.

Just looking for a way that we can have a voice to put them on notice. Your thoughts?

They'll go down with the ship.

Trump is our enemy ably abetted by Elon Musk who has been given control over our government computer systems. We MUST fight back.

what pray tell do you propose the Dems do?
