But they don’t have a supermajority, they’re short 14 seats in the Senate for that.

At the end of their term, the voters go vote for someone else in the primaries, then Fetterman has to try and run as an independent or convince some other party to nominate him. During the term, it depends on the individual state if they have a procedure for the voters to recall an elected official or not (looks like Pennsylvania does not).


The primaries are where we push the internal reform. The pitifully low primary turnout is what allows unpopular incumbents to coast on autopilot to the right for the donor money.
Need them in the Press Rooms at the White House and Pentagon.

that shouldn’t be a dilemma.


It doesn’t provide a mechanism for removal. It adds clearer definitions of when to effect a temporary transference of power (for example the President is sick/injured but receiving some treatment but will recover, like President Cleveland having surgery for cancer), and how a vacant office of Vice President will be filled (for example the President has died or resigned or was removed after impeachment and the VP ha been sworn in as President, like Jonhson after the Kennedy assassination). The temporary nature here is the operative part. The Vice President is still the Vice President, and under the amendment the President just has to inform Congress that they are fit to resume their duties and they automatically do so after 4 days unless the VP can get the Cabinet to again vote otherwise, and then it would go to Congress to resolve. A removed President doesn’t have an avenue to just show up and say they’re coming back.


Got ourselves a real fnorgby here.


I think they’d wait until after November, though. Doing it suddenly before the election would be a clear signal they expect to lose. So they’d try to ram it through in December, before the new Congress is sworn it.


There’s nothing as permanent as a temporary fix.


But only the toilet has an open hole in the middle for your butt to hang down through, and you’re usually not spending any time trying to push out a turd on any seat that’s not a toilet.


yes, they think he is it, and that’s why they support him.


thanks for noticing! 🍻


Mostly agree. They should be sold and converted to residential. I certainly wouldn’t live in a residence owned by my employer.


It will take companies divesting themselves from their commercial real estate holdings. Shareholders don’t like it when those lease/mortgage payments go to empty and unoccupied office space.


The party of the troops!


He put his feet up on the desk‽


It was shown fairly conclusively that there was no significant voter fraud in the most recent election
Voter fraud has always been a red herring distraction. It’s election fraud that’s a problem (ie what Trump is trying to accomplish under the guise of ending voter fraud).
So many people sat out the last election because democrats refuse to budge on the genocidal tendancies, and theres no reason to believe that they will attempt to do any better this time around
They wouldn’t be on the ballot again if the non-voters would instead become avid primary voters and nominate more progressives. Nobody in office gives a shit about the opinions of non-voters. The more non-voters, the better for those already in office.
I’d rather see her primary Schumer or challenge Jeffries for leadership.
