He has praised certain Democratic policies, opposed some core Republican policies like the 2017 tax cuts, and supported higher taxes for businesses and individuals without children.

My man. This is not the way.
That’s not how people work in these situations. Neither party is going to act reasonably here, I can pretty much guarantee that from personal experience on both sides of that scenario.
Except for the fact that it makes a bunch of money you mean?
Literally had a stroke and lost part of his brain and became an asshole who’s a lot less empathetic. It, sadly, happens with strokes.

Looks like pancakes wrapped around an opened package of Rolo candy.
Ngl, that shit looks deliciously diabetic
SUPPLIES!
Unfortunately, third party candidates are made exactly for people not paying attention
It’s a tried and true gameplay for fascists throughout history.
They’re all typically narcissists, and they all feel like a group wronged them somehow. It’s their perceived right to punish them when they gain power for the imagined transgressions they made because they didn’t give them what they wanted.
Hitler hated Jews because he believed they were the reason he was unsuccessful in his career and other endeavors and blamed their machinations for his failures.
No objective evidence. It’s tough to build a case around key witnesses and testimonies that are easily assailable by the defense, especially ones that could play well to a jury.
It’s not fair, and this all very, very likely happened as the court documents allege. But proving it in a court of law is a whole different thing.
Prosecutors generally try not to take cases they’re not confident they can win. They’re underpaid and overworked and try and follow the 80/20 rule, which is that they can do more good prosecuting the 80% of cases that are slam dunks, than waste tax payer money chasing 20% of the cases that require just about “everything to go right” for them to come out on top.
It’s one of the many things flawed within our justice system right now that a DA won’t pursue this because the blowback of losing the case would end their career.
They don’t have any other kind.
Sure, but this wasn’t an image of TSwift with a MAGA 2024 shirt on that was AI generated.
This is years, over a decade, of post histories tied to his IP address with his own profile picture on these sites that was registered a long, long time ago.
Speaking as someone who works heavily with AI in the Software Engineering community, there’s no way today to get AI to do this.
Definitely no way to fake the server logs across multiple groups as well as the IP access logs.
It’s a line from the movie Billy Madison.
The required background for a Republican party candidate today.
This is the correct answer. It sounds like they’re admitting to perjury. So the case needs to be re-evaluated or set for a mistrial if it was a critical witness testimony that’s been proven to be lying under oath.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHH GENEEEEEEEE!!!
Totally agreed. Unfortunately I don’t see it happening in our lifetimes.
Would love to be wrong here though.
For sure. It’s not exclusive to Mitch.
But Mitch was the architect.
He’s the reason the far right got 4 SCOTUS picks, instead of the 2 they should have if they played “fair”.
Mitch also was the architect for filling all the judicial vacancies in the federal courts with other far right partisan judges.
He’s also the architect for the current state of the GOP, and was responsible for most of the Government shutdowns in the last 20 years. Him lamenting this potential shutdown is laughable, to put it mildly.
He’s been doing this since at least 2010 when the GOP shifted their strategy away from advancing their democratic platform, and instead winning by fuckery like gerrymandering, blocking all bills in the Senate (as he was the majority leader for around a decade) that might advance the Democrat roadmap/agenda, and then immediately turning around and blaming democrats for the bill his party just blocked.
Mitch is the reason why the GOP is kept in line today.
His departure from politics, forced or otherwise, will have a huge impact on the GOP. There isn’t another person in their group that can hold all the different groups together and keep them focused on making democrats appear to look bad, like Mitch.
As much as I hate the guy (and boy, do I), he’s a masterful politician. I mean that as the damning insult it’s meant to be.
He’s going to tank everyone down ballot. If everyone gets out and votes, the hope is this will be a landslide victory and the GOP will be punished for following trump in every election up for grabs this year. Including local elections
