  • I can defend that. Jeffries is a nonentity; house democrats have been able to walk past him for 2 years. Schumer is far more of a problem, and has the contacts and connections to ratfuck anyone over anything. When Schumer wants to raise money and whip for Israel, he opens his Rolodex. When Jeffries wants to raise money and whip for Israel, he asks Schumer to open his Rolodex. Both need to go, but ousting Schumer as majority leader is step 1 towards that. You can disagree with the political calculus on that, but there is political calculus on that.




  • I’m sick and tired of this bullshit “factoid” Americans use to justify accepting fuck-ass outcomes. Capone served 8 years, and his criminal enterprise was even more violent and successful after he went away. If, and big fuckin if, Hegseth gets more than a slap on the wrist, he’s going to get book deals and media appearances the rest of his life. What broke the actual criminal hold on Chicago wasn’t “tax fraud,” it was repealing prohibition. Almost like locking figureheads up does jack shit, and actually legislating away systemic issues does infinitely more. Go figure.
