General Discussion

considering the full consequences, (NOT)

How many times have I seen something like that happen.

I recall how "satisfied" some felt if Kevin McCarthy was removed from the speakership, without fully considering the consequences that someone far worse would take his place, and sure enough, that is exactly what happened in Johnson, who had no problem supporting a president who incited an insurection.

The attitude by some how there is no difference between "both sides", and the only way to learn is a "pox on both their houses" so to speak. That reckless assumption contributed to 2000, 2016, and 2024, and why we are in the situation we are in today.

As the idiom says "when you're up to your ass in alligators, it's hard to remember you were trying to drain the swamp"

and cutting off one's nose to spite one's face may provide short-term superficial satisfaction, but end up screwing you in the end.

It is time to stop with this "all or nothing" crap. We are at DEFCON 1, and it is time to realize we MUST do whatever it takes to unify and regain control, and if that means setting aside our disagreements among each other until that is achieved, then that is what MUST be done.
