And when there is money it's often earmarked in ways that severely restrict its use for, e.g., paying for software

Does viable have a different definition for you that doesn't include winning roughly half of elections?

What's the difference between MTG and, say, any of the other Republicans that vote pretty much in kock-step with her on any important issue but aren't as blatantly loud and dumb except worse news bites?

If you read it Biden's appointed 214 so far, if he gets all 244 then he's appointed more than Trump. Clearly this isn't a sudden rush, it's a final push to fix and protect as much as possible as he's been doing for 4 years

Oh please let Trump's first dictatorial move be to strip Elon of his wealth. We're all going to suffer some shit but let at least one oligarch stuffer too

To be fair there are a ton of the gravy seals, but you're absolutely right that there is also smaller but much, much more dangerous core

Absolutely agree with you but as xmunk said, Sinema will do her dumb curtsy thing and bam, now trump gets another supreme court pick on day 1 because the Dems really only have 49 seats for preserving democracy

I for sure think that the DNC aren't to blame in the same way that a firefighter who uses a garden hose to try to put out a burning house isn't responsible for the smoking ruins when there are other people throwing molotovs through the windows, slashing the tires of the firetrucks, and getting the neighbors to throw bricks at the firefighters.

That being said, if my house was on fire and it was clear that I couldn't get the active vandals to stop despite them burning themselves in the process, I think it's justified to work on replacing or training the firefighters to be more competent and/or rutheless with dealing with the threat.
