Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!"

They and only they can solve this problem by impeaching Trump.
They won't because they'd rather play the victim than admit because the congestive load of accepting they are the victimizers would cause them to increment our nation's climbing suicide rate.
I often find myself in political discussions with Republican voters, for some of them, this is spot on.
One of the most flawed arguments I have heard is that the Republican Party wants to release the Epstine files, but they can't because of the Democrats.
When I pointed out that they control all branches of government, and the only way they Democrats would be able to prevent them from doing that is if elected Republican representatives chose to vote against it, I was told it was still the Democrats fault... because they would cancel and persecute anyone even remotely associated with the people on that list.
The ones who still support their party's leadership and direction are clearly master gymnasts im dodging accountability and performing as the victim. It's not the Republicans' fault— It's the Democrats fault. And when it's not the Democrats' fault, it's still the Democrats fault, but for a different reason.
I witnessed a MAGA jackass, completely unprovoked, assault a navy vet with a US flag on Labor Day.
And then as he was being handcuffed I heard all about how he wasn't at fault.
This is how republicans run Texas. They've had a stranglehold on Texas politics for decades and yet still blame anything bad on democrats, woke, and sustainable energy. They blamed the freeze on windmill farms, for fucks sake.
