Even if this was added to the bill, there's no way it would ever reach the president's desk. And if it did, there's no way Biden wouldn't veto it.

This is just somebody signalling his loyalty to Orange Steal so he can swoop in and grab a little of his powerbase when Orange Steal is serving out his golden years in a jumpsuit that matches his spray tan.

I guarantee you, the Biden administration has a planned timeline they want to see this prosecution play out over, and it ends in a conviction before the election. It has contingencies in place for every bullshit delaying tactic conservatives will try to throw at them. He's going to jail for a very long time, and I'd say the majority of people are starting to wise up to this fact.

Yes. They won’t though.

Exercising regular congressional powers by introducing legislation that cuts funding to a judicial body, regardless of the intent, isn't obstruction of justice.

This sums up my feelings quite well. These children are fucking self centered.

They also had plans to indefinitely delay supreme court confirmations in case Hillary won the 2016 election.

The answer is pretty simple. They do not want to set the precedent that any Republican government official, even the President, can be held liable for their crimes. Most were prepared to let him get impeached (but not actually find him guilty), lose his office, and hope he would fall into obscurity. A slap on the wrist and then a return to status quo is perfectly acceptable to them. But to have the audacity to actually bring charges for even blatant crimes? It's just not acceptable at all. What if this accountability thing carries over to the rest of government? What if they're actually held to the law? What if they face consequences for violating the law? What if corruption in government starts to actually be investigated and punished? No no, we can't have that. There won't be any Republicans left.

It's not insane at all.

They know that without the cult they lack the numbers to win any election. They, and their positions, are so frail that they bend knee to the absolute worst humanity has to offer for a chance to feel like they aren't as neutered as they really are. They can't even just let the Trump boot-lickers fade away, those willful idiots will just not vote - they have to win the scared racist vote, they need the wheezing Nazis, they can't survive without the religious who have turned away from their god for Trump.

It's fear, weakness and desperation. It is more sad than insane. Sad and dangerous.

Republicans are driven, first and foremost, by a “fuck you, got mine” ethos. If, with whatever limited mental capacity they wield, they calculate something that tickles their “fuck you, got mine” neuroreceptors, they act.

Lost 2016 by 3m, 2018 lost 41 delegates in the house, 2020 lost by 7m. He's a political loser, but the republican part wont cut him off cause they got nothing left to entice voters.

No no no not like that

That would require elected officials to act in good faith. Used to be you would want your elected officials to uphold the law even if it conflicted with party interests. Nowadays the law only applies to the minority party.

Revolutionary optimism. The contradictions are intensifying and the system is falling into crisis. We make the world turn, and we will prevail!

Disconnect from the media. Mainstream, underground, social, all of it. The people truly enjoying their lives aren't posting it to social media, and we know that traditional media feeds on bad news for ratings, so just leave it behind. You can still drop by to update yourself, but constant intake of what we consider news, is not healthy.
