Oh, this makes me so very happy. I have an M4 pro, and I can’t wait until a fedora remix is available for that!

Slip vs strip

OK, grandpa, time for bed

Womps and prayers, ya toolbox

I suppose it’s the difference between “running the country“ and “running the country into the ground“

I think I explained pretty clearly how the politics of states like Florida are anything but permanent and shouldn’t be taken for granted as such

Before they get the chance to replace Thomas and/or Alito, their first priority with SCOTUS should be to expand the court to 13 seats and then fill those vacancies

this also means no new Trumpy Supreme Court justices

I lived in Orlando from 01-07, and it was a pretty cool place. artsy with a good night life and LGBTQ scene. I moved back from NYC a couple of years ago, and wow is this place dead. Ron Desantis and his particular brand of Trumpism has had a huge impact on the culture of the city.

Miami, Orlando, Tampa, Jacksonville Tallahassee… All of these are big blue cities (each has a major university— except Tampa). It’s the rest of the state that’s the problem.

It’s a little more complicated than that. It’s not just a matter of net gains and losses of seats, it also is important to consider which races were one by Democrats. They were all in very important districts in the states. Not to mention that the losses were within a hair. They were all extremely close, not something we had in 2024. It’s a very strong indicator that the entire country is swinging back to the left.

Take Florida for example: Democrats lost both the governor’s race and the Senators race, but they were very very very very close. The last time those seats were up for election, there was a pretty big gap between Democrats and Republicans. Not so much anymore. Plus, in Florida, we picked up three Democratic house seats, two of which were in gerrymandered districts, yet Dems won anyway.

I remember the last time Florida was a blue state… It was a much better place to live. And although we have a GOP governor and senators, the rest of the state is definitely shifting back to the left. A lot. 2028 will be extremely interesting indeed.

You ain’t just whistlin’ Dixie.

Trump 2.0 was so much worse than Trump 1.0 because this time around he surrounded himself by a cadre of sycophant enablers. Going after all of them will be easy, Pickens, and it’s not as if they don’t all belong in jail, too. Especially that Pete Hegseth motherfucker. I’m perfectly happy for Congress to impeach his ass. and then, of course, prosecute him to the fullest extent of the law.

Lol, that too

Well, I think it’s a matter of legislative priorities: do the Democrats want to blow their wad using their control of Congress to try to get Trump impeached and then removed? It would be a monumental effort with little chance of meaningful success.

Most Democrats believe it would be a much better expenditure of resources, instead, blow that wad dragging literally everyone else in the Trump administration before an investigative committee and possibly impeaching and prosecuting them instead. There is so very much to go after all of them for, that it would be a real waste of time and effort to let everyone else go just so they could go after Trump and probably not succeed in getting him removed.

Not to mention that it would be far easier to prosecute and possibly jail Trump after he is out of office.

I wish we could’ve done a little bit better in Florida. We were so, so close to getting Angie Nixon and Bill Jolly. at least we managed to flip three house seats! By the showing of these results, Florida is pretty purple now, making a pretty big shift back to the left, even if it wasn’t quite big enough.

Not only do I seriously doubt he’ll be impeached, I’m quite certain there aren’t enough votes in the Senate to remove him if he does get impeached. it will be a monumental waste of time and effort. And it would change very little, because a President JD Vance would not be much better.

Instead, the Democrats should focus the next two years on investigating every single thing Trump, his family, and his cronies have been doing, and putting as many of them in jail as possible and completely neutering Trump for the next two years.

Mmmm. M4 support

FYI, Fedora Silverblue is a Fedora atomic spin, and it’s available now.

So, that’s a “yes”
