Between the supreme court and the end of a coherent honest media I don't see any way out in our lifetime. We could get all three branches by 2028 and every single piece of legislation will end up at the supreme court. The right wing media will be telling everyone how awful everything is and the shitheads in govt will do everything possible to sabotage any progress. We would have to pack the court and kill the filibuster and they won't do that. Even if they did Kurt would still be getting all his information from Newsmax and as soon as the dumb Americans got bored or gas prices went up they'd vote in Republicans who would do the same thing over again without a filibuster and a repacked court. Welcome to the Chinese Century.

- Deporting ‘brownies’ is the only promise Trump has delivered. If you’re still MAGA it sure seems racism is #1 by enough to override everything else ($40T debt, inflation, war). * - By plug August 21, 2026 at 11:25:34 AM
  - I think he's done that at a rate lower than Biden, just does it with a lot of publicity and lack of due process* - By mtb August 21, 2026 at 11:47:00 AM

  - Agree - Harris would already have been impeached by GOP House as they bitch about 4% inflation and her running a tiny deficit after the Ukraine defeat of Russia**** - By Cincywolve August 21, 2026 at 08:49:31 AM
- Depressing, but true…my cousin is full MAGA even though she’s Filipina… - By Green_Genes August 21, 2026 at 08:05:11 AM
  - 1) Your cousin is a nurse (I'm sure you get the joke) 2) Religious. * - By Alias August 21, 2026 at 08:19:50 AM
    - She and her two sisters are all nurses, LOL. So is my mom… - By Green_Genes August 21, 2026 at 08:44:32 AM
- They want to end legal migration. We have a jr trader who is from Bulgaria. Stanford grad and her student visa has ended. She’s waiting for an H-1B visa (m) - By crumbs August 21, 2026 at 07:57:06 AM

  - These stories are fucking awful and I’m embarrassed and disgusted y’all are going through this. Hell, we’re all immigrants with my grandparents coming from Hungary and Finland. Hopes that this thing can reverse course as is so “anti-American”’it hurts. nm - By sim August 21, 2026 at 08:30:01 AM
  - You're right, I'm far too optimistic with 55/45. We have similar concerns after citizenship. * - By Alias August 21, 2026 at 07:55:55 AM
- It is awful. People who used to be decent have been brainwashed by RW media and maga rhetoric. Hopefully there will be a reckoning. Good luck!* - By Cincywolve August 21, 2026 at 07:38:52 AM
  - I don't think those "people who used to be decent" were ever truly decent.* - By kccambo August 21, 2026 at 08:51:29 AM
    - The bar for leadership was certainly higher. Contrast a Reagan speech with todays GOP on immigration**** - By Cincywolve August 21, 2026 at 08:53:02 AM
